So, um, yeah... this is kind of embarrasing but definitely funny. It's cold out here today. Granted, it's not THAT cold, but I'm a wuss sometimes. I have a little mini space heater that I keep under my desk for the chillier days so I can stay warm. Anyways, I usually keep it plugged into it's own seperate power outlet but today I didn't have a spare one since I was using the seperate outlet for my laptop to charge. I plugged the mini heater's cord into the power strip (which is ANCIENT. LoL) and was working as normal. 15 minutes later? POP!!! Everything fried at my desk that was plugged into that power strip. I've even tried to swap out a working power stri…

Hi folks! Allow me to introduce you to Melodi Dushane. See that sad face? Those pouty eyes? It's because she couldn't get her McNuggets.... ... at the drive through window of McDonald's....... ... AT SIX THIRTY IN THE MORNING. (i.e. "breakfast") TOLEDO, Ohio -- Police said a Toledo woman punched through a McDonald's drive-through window because she couldn't get Chicken McNuggets. Police were called to the restaurant on Friday, when Melodi Dushane, 24, allegedly became upset because chicken nuggets weren't available. Police said Dushane was treated for injuries, then jailed. She was released on a recognizance bond and ordered not to have contact with the restaura…

This is Gilpin Family Whiskey. It's not your normal whiskey. In fact, you could pretty much call is "Pissky". http://www.wired.co....10-08/24/pissky Please excuse me while I go vomit a little.

A computer science student wrote a paper for one of his classes entitled, "Disadvantadges and advantadges of networks". Sounds pretty generic right? Nothing interesting to read there, huh? Well what if I told you he placed a hidden message of epic proportions within his college paper to test to see if his professor REALLY was reading it? After 8 hours of properly formatting his paper to include the acrostic message, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the most outstanding and creative RickRoll I have EVER SEEN.

I never thought it would happen, but Brock got brutalized. Cain Velasquez managed to weather the storm as Brock came out strong and hard at the start of the first round. He then showed that technique triumphs over horsepower. Giving up a significant 20 pounds to the champ, he not only won, but won decisively as he beat Brock into a bloody pulp at about four minutes into the first round. Jake Shields made his UFC debut with a lackluster win over Martin Kampman. Though there are questions about whether the 20 pound drop in weight to make 170 was a decisive factor in his conditioning. He looked absolutely exhausted by the third round, but managed to pull off the W. Die…

So Anonymous hacked into that U.S. Security Firm HBGary, defaced their page and called out some CEO guy. Well apparently in their hackings they also stumbled across a fairly big part of the source code for the Stuxnet supervirus which took out Iran's nuclear reactors. I guess this has some people worried that they could reverse engineer it somehow, but I don't see how they can with only part of the source code.

OMG! I can't believe that U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood actually gave a press-release/statement about the dangers of roadhead. I'm amused and concerned at the same time! http://gizmodo.com/#!5788221/we-must-fight-distracted-driving-by-ending-road-head

Bizarre thing that happened way back in 1959, in the mountains of Russia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident http://www.forteantimes.com/features/articles/1562/the_dyatlov_pass_incident.html Avalanche, UFO, Yeti, military? What do you think?

Well got a new tattoo today that I wanted to share. Been wanting it for a really long time. Last month, the son I lost when I was 16, would have been 20 years old. I finally put his footprints into a tattoo.

So if it's not enough that they needed to big an even larger atom smasher (CERN Labs), now they are going to try to build a laser that is so powerful it's theorized it may be able to rip a hole in space-time. http://dvice.com/archives/2011/04/new-laser-will.php "At peak power, the fourth laser in Europe's Extreme Light Infrastructure project (or ELI) will combine ten beams into a single pulse measuring 200 petawatts. 200 petawatts is significantly more power that our entire race generates at any given moment, and in fact more total power than Earth receives from the sun. The 200 petawatt pulses will only last 1.5 x 10^-14 second, which is about the same amount of time…

via Fox News "A Connecticut teen who asked a girl to prom by taping a message to the front of his high school has been barred from attending. Shelton High School senior James Tate and two friends posted 12-inch tall cardboard letters outside the school’s main entrance last Thursday night so students would see the message in the morning. The letters read: "Sonali Rodrigues, Will you go to the prom with me? HMU -Tate." HMU means hit me up, or call me. Rodrigues said yes. But Tate, 18, and his two friends have been given one-day in-house suspensions by the headmaster and barred from the prom. “I was telling her for the longest time that I was going to go with her, but, you k…
