Looking for a challenge today? Throw an egg up these moving baskets and see how good your judgment is. If you make it to the top without dropping an egg, then you are a true master. :)

Ya, I know, this isn"t the cutting news for the start of the week, but it"s something to start your week with. :)

Hey, if you think you"re getting some money from Bill Gates for send me some e-mail or that there is a bill in Congress that states we"ll be charged five cents for every e-mail we send, then you need to listen to this guy. He"ll set you straight…and put a smile on your face.

Thanks Edy for the link.



Get iPod Invisa for $50

Remember the Steve Jobs skit on SNL about the iPods? If so, then you remember the Invsia. You know, the iPod that measures 0.000000mm x 0.000000mm x 0.000000mm, weighs 0.000000oz (shipping weight 0.000001 oz), stores up to 8 million songs and will hold every photo you’ve ever taken? Some people I guess don’t realize it was a skit as it was on eBay and was up to $50 with a 12 bid history!

You’re kidding, right? I can understand being funny and all and keeping a good joke going, but dude, this is NOTHING! eBay at least had some sense and removed the item but if you want to at least see the picture, hit tuaw.com for that.

UPDATE: I just got an e-mail from the guy posted this and he told me that he put another one back up. Too bad eBay already yanked that one, too!



Crackhead

Sometimes you find interesting things on the web. You know with over a 150 billion web pages, you’re bound to find something bizarre enough to question its reality. Once confirmed that indeed it is true, all one can do is laugh and marvel at the world in which one lives in.

I found this interesting post on Craigslist. Yes, Craigslist shows more then just stuff for sale, but ideas that are trying to be conveyed and these are free offerings. One man who posted an open letter to a person, which he named Crackhead, is one of these interesting reads. Now I fully warn you, this guy is not a happy puppy and it contains a few words that I would not use here. So read with that warning in mind. I will give you the synopsis of the story, though. Basically some guy is stealing the posters spark plugs to make crack pipes. The poster ends up “supplying” the thief by rendering his motorcycle useful with every theft that occurs. This is what angers our poster. :)

I tell you, very odd things indeed in our world…

Lockergnome reader commented on one of my articles and sent me an interesting link. The contraption brings new meaning to the phrase couch potato, aye? :)

Why does this not surprise me? The RIAA is now taking your stickin’ fanny to the ringer if you so much as tell a friend about Madonna’s new album. Wait a minute, that’s bad? Oh sorry, I digress. Ya, starting spreading the word about music around your neighborhood for free and — BAM! — you’re busted. Don’t do it, man. It’s just not worth it.

Thanks Jon for warning me about this. I almost was going to tell you about the new Depeche Mode album. Man, you saved me!

LOS ANGELES—The Recording Industry Association of America announced Tuesday that it will be taking legal action against anyone discovered telling friends, acquaintances, or associates about new songs, artists, or albums. “We are merely exercising our right to defend our intellectual properties from unauthorized peer-to-peer notification of the existence of copyrighted material,” a press release signed by RIAA…

Things Kids Say

Aren’t kids grand? They say the darndest things. I know, I have two. :) Here’s some really cute ones I got in an e-mail. Can’t say they’re true, but they did make laugh. Hope they do for you, too.

JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked: “Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?”

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn’t remember any more. Said Melanie, “If you don’t remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six.”

STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom goodnight. “I love you so much, that when you die I’m going to bury you outside my bedroom window.”

BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a painkiller. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a childproof cap and she’d have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: “How does it know it’s me?

DANI (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: “How much do I cost?”

CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, “I don’t know what’ll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?”

JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: “The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt.” Concerned, James asked: “What happened to the flea?”

TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, “Why doesn’t your skin fit your face?”

A source of mine in New York City told me Saturday Night, live on the phone, that Steve Jobs announced the release of an iPod that will hold a million songs and play a ton of video! Dude, and the thing is so freakin’ tiny that you won’t every need a case for it as it’ll easily slide into your pocket…though it might get lost with your change now that I think about it. Steve told special TV viewers that we can expect this bad boy this Thanksgiving! Black Friday has never been so good.



Listen to Jay

Here’s a good one…

With hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, fires, severe t-storms and earthquakes tearing up the country from one end to another, the quote of the year is:

Jay Leno: “Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?”



Vegas and Church

Here’s a funny one. Don’t know how much truth there is to this but thought it was funny enough to pass along. Thanx, Edy!

This may come as a surprise to those of you not living in Las Vegas but there are more Catholic churches there than casinos.

Not surprisingly, some worshippers at Sunday services will give casino chips rather than cash when the basket is passed.

Since they get chips from so many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings. The churches send all their collected chips to a nearby Franciscan Monastery for sorting and then the chips are taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in.

This is done by the chip monk!
