Try the "what's wrong with this world" thread.  Why would I want to watch someone kill himself?

Why would I want to watch someone kill himself?

This is the kind of attitude that's going to keep you off jury duty for the really good cases.

this is the first thing i read this morning and it made me laugh.

I was once woken up at 7am on a Saturday by an automated "Amber Alert" phone call. I was so pissed off at being woken up that I hung up the phone halfway through the message and prayed for the death of whatever shteinhead kid was missing.

Eggplant is pretty good...nothing like the eggplant monsters in Kid Icarus made me think it would taste like.

I don't like many "Podcasts" but Bill Burrs Monday Morning Podcast is pretty good.

I think it is anyway.

Go farg yourselves.

French beekeepers in Ribeauville abuzz over blue honey

Beekeepers in northeastern France have been alarmed to find their bees producing honey in unnatural shades of green and blue.

The beekeepers believe the source of the problem is a biogas plant close to Ribeauville in Alsace.

It is thought the bees have been eating the sugary waste from M&Ms, small chocolates in brightly-coloured shells.

Humans need to find a way to get off Earth and start over if we are going to survive ourselves here.

Revolutionary Invention: Hip-Hop and the PC

What do hip-hop music and personal computers have in common? They were both children of the turbulent 1970s, born to innovative people who, building on inventive skills and technologies, nurtured them through creativity, collaboration, risk taking, problem solving, flexibility, and hard work. As with all inventions, their parents created them using some existing technologies. Hip-hop music evolved from adaptations of sound recording and playback equipment, while personal computers were built on integrated circuits, or "microchips," co-invented in 1959 by Robert Noyce of Silicon Valley.

Obviously this is the work of the bee they call Heisenberg.

Even though it's kind of cold out, I walked across the street to give my neighbor his mail that was mistakenly delivered to me. As a reward, I was given a bottle of Yuengling! GO EAGLES!!

Your brain can sometimes do funny things to letters. OpenDyslexic tries to help prevent some of these things from happening. Letters have heavy weighted bottoms to add a kind of "gravity" to each letter, helping to keep your brain from rotating them around in ways that can make them look like other letters. Consistently weighted bottoms can also help reinforce the line of text. The unique shapes of each letter can help prevent flipping and swapping.
