Sorry to everyone who reads this, but posting on this blog will be pretty sporadic until June, due to finals and things coming up. I will try to post as much as I can, but I can't make any promises.

What the hell is a hardcooked egg?!?!?...

2007-04-23T22:00:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! I'm sorry that I haven't been keeping up with my posts in 10+ days. I've been extremely busy and haven't had much time to spare. I will try to keep up regular posts going forward.

Anyway, check out this label I found on the back of a Starbucks Egg Salad Sandwich...what the hell is a hardcooked egg?!?!? I think they just call it this so they can "justify" the price of $5.25 on the front of the package. You do the math.

If you find anything like this, please email me! I am always looking for suggestions!

6. "Horn broken, watch for finger!"

7. "If you can read this, flip me over!"

8. "If you can read this, you're following too close!"

9. "Nader for President!" ( Okay, this one isn't necessarily funny in a direct kind of way, rather it's funny because he ran for president so many times. )

10. "Get in, sit down, shut up and hang on!"

Some questions to ponder...

2007-04-07T22:00:00.000-07:00

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of Progress?

Why do they call it Military Intelligence?

Why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor when you can't drink and drive?

If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime?

If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights?

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

P.S. Okay, I realize that yesterday's joke wasn't really at all that funny, I was just short on ideas, so I thought I might use a very old joke. Sorry if I disappointed you.

Favorite bumper stickers ( part 1 )...

This is part 1 of an almost infinite-part series of my favorite bumper stickers that I have seen in the past, or saw today. Note that the numbers do not signify a rank of the bumper stickers, rather just to keep track of how many I've written down.

1. "Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup."

2. "Shit happens."

3. "Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert for President!"

4. "I used up all my sick days so I called in dead."

5. "Got beer?"

Google announces free in-home wireless broadband service...

2007-04-03T22:16:00.000-07:00

"Dark porcelain" project offers self-installed plumbing-based Internet access

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 1, 2007 - Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) today announced the launch of Google TiSP (BETA)™, a free in-home wireless broadband service that delivers online connectivity via users' plumbing systems. The Toilet Internet Service Provider (TiSP) project is a self-installed, ad-supported online service that will be offered entirely free to any consumer with a WiFi-capable PC and a toilet connected to a local municipal sewage system.

"We've got that whole organizing-the-world's-information thing more or less under control," said Google Co-founder and President Larry Page, a longtime supporter of so-called "dark porcelain" research and development. "What's interesting, though, is how many different modalities there are for actually getting that information to you - not to mention from you."

For years, data carriers have confronted the "last hundred yards" problem for delivering data from local networks into individual homes. Now Google has successfully devised a "last hundred smelly yards" solution that takes advantage of preexisting plumbing and sewage systems and their related hydraulic data-transmission capabilities. "There's actually a thriving little underground community that's been studying this exact solution for a long time," says Page. "And today our Toilet ISP team is pleased to be leading the way through the sewers, up out of your toilet and - splat - right onto your PC."

Users who sign up online for the TiSP system will receive a full home self-installation kit, which includes a spindle of fiber-optic cable, a TiSP wireless router, installation CD and setup guide. Home installation is a simple matter of GFlushing™ the fiber-optic cable down to the nearest TiSP Access Node, then plugging the other end into the network port of your Google-provided TiSP wireless router. Within sixty minutes, the Access Node's crack team of Plumbing Hardware Dispatchers (PHDs) should have your internet connection up and running.

"I couldn't be more excited about, and am only slightly grossed out by, this remarkable new product," said Marissa Mayer, Google's Vice President of Search Products and User Experience. "I firmly believe TiSP will be a breakthrough product, particularly for those users who, like Larry himself, do much of their best thinking in the bathroom."

Interested consumers, contractually obligated partners and deeply skeptical and quietly competitive backbiters can learn more about TiSP at http://www.google.com/tisp/install.html.

Men are from somewhere, and Women are from somewhere else...

2007-03-22T23:00:00.000-07:00

NICKNAMES

If Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose.

If Mike, Charlie, Bob and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Scrappy.

EATING OUT

When the bill arrives, Mike, Charlie, Bob and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back.

When the women get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

MONEY

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants.

A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't want.

BATHROOMS

A man has six items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a hotel towel.

The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

ARGUMENTS

A woman has the last word in any argument.

Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

CATS

Women love cats.

Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.

FUTURE

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

SUCCESS

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

MARRIAGE

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.

A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does.

DRESSING UP

A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

A man will dress up for weddings and funerals

NATURAL

Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

OFFSPRING

Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

Feelin' a little paranoid lately...

If, like me, you've been feeling a little paranoid about the Bush administration's phone-tapping scandal or anything else that they have done that has been the least bit questionable, it might be time to invest in an AFDB. What is an AFDB you ask? An AFDB is an Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie (AFDB). If you would like to know more about this low-cost solution to government spying, please click here to visit the home of the AFDB.

( Legalese: The writer of this blog in no way endorses the use of the AFDB and is therefore not in any way liable for any mind control that you may fall prey to. Actually, this whole post is just a joke. Please don't take me seriously at all. )

Computer Haikus...

2007-03-12T23:30:00.000-07:00

Here are some pretty amusing computer Haikus:

Printer not ready.
Could be a fatal error.
Have a pen handy?

Server's poor response
not quick enough for browser.
Timed out, plum blossom.

This site has been moved.
We'd tell you where, but then we'd
have to delete you.

Wind catches lily
scatt'ring petals to the wind.
Segmentation fault.

ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have.
You ask way too much.

The Web site you seek
cannot be located but
endless others exist.

Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.

A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.

There is a chasm
of carbon and silicon
the software can't bridge.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.

To have no errors
would be life without meaning.
No struggle, no joy.

You step in the stream,
but the water has moved on.
This page is not here.

No keyboard present.
Hit F1 to continue.
Zen engineering?

Hal, open the file.
Hal, open the damn file, Hal,
open the, please Hal...

Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
but we never will.

Having been erased,
the document you're seeking
must now be retyped.

The ten thousand things.
How long do any persist?
Netscape, too, has gone.

Rather than a beep
or a rude error message,
these words: "File not found."

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

What gender is a computer? Read on to find out...

2007-03-05T22:56:00.000-08:00

Sorry to anyone who missed me in the brief 4 day hiatus that I have been on since I last updated...and also sorry that this is an update after 10pm. I'll try to be better about that. Moving on...here's one that should bring about at least a chuckle...

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

"House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa." "Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz."

A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?" Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether ''computer'' should be a masculine or a feminine noun.

Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computadora"), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;

2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;

3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ("el computador"), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;

2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
