- If video games cause violence, then Playboy causes babies:
Did I miss something, or did someone actually prove that video games are causing all of this “violence?” While we’re at it, we should roll out all of the studies that show that 1) Catcher in the Rye, 2) Rock n’ Roll, 3) Dancing, 4) wearing hats indoors, and 5) tennis shoes are also significant contributors to the evil world we live in.
- Dodge This, NSA:

- Sun expands Unix deal with SCO:
“Now we know why Sun was so absolutely confident about where they stand in this whole thing that they were essentially able to turn it into some marketing and sales FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) of their own,” Illuminata analyst Gordon Haff said.
- Hackers Hijack PC’s for Sex Sites:
The hijacked computers, which are chosen by the hackers apparently because they have high-speed connections to the Internet, are secretly loaded with software that makes them send explicit Web pages advertising pornographic sites and offer to sign visitors up as customers.
- I cut off my ear and sent it to my girlfriend, can you find that too?:

Every Friday, the blokes over at Something Awful put together a collection of pictures that readers submit based on a common theme. This weeks theme was trading cards, ones that never existed but thanks to the magic of having too much time (usually due to lack of social skills and/or breaking up with their virtual girlfriend) and the keen ability to meticulously find photos and crop them onto your average tobacco card vis-à-vis Photoshop (or if they are really 1337, MS Paint), now exist.
Here are a few I found scrum-diddily-umptious:
- Classic Microsoft Moments
- Failed Computers
- U.S. Senate Wrestling
- The Amazing World of Rorschach (that’s inkblots for you non-edumacated)
- Heroes of ASCII
- Toes
- Legends of Fast Food (where is Jared?)

Man offers sex in bid to find English tutor:
A Romanian man is offering sex and accommodation, in an attempt to find an English tutor for his child.
He placed an advertisement in the local newspaper that reads: “Married man, looking for nice student who knows English for tutoring child. Home and sex included.”
The man’s initiative angered other parents, who called and told him his method is immoral and a bad example for the child.
But the father, who lives in Arad, defended his position by saying he would do anything for his child’s benefit, reports the Curierul National newspaper.
Yea, I feel like Jay Leno more each day, minus a guitarist I can pick on and licentious actors I’d rather not be in the same room with.
Anyways, talk about dedication, when I was looking for suitable tutors for my prodigies (little Tom, big Dick and hairy Harry) I also took out a similar ad and it worked like magic. Try it out one of these days, not only will you be pleasantly surprised with the detail oriented nature of many respondents, but your child will finally be able to say: hooked on phonics worked for me.
