Being the nerd I am, I wanted to see how my post regarding SpaceShipOne’s pilot was doing via Google. I typed in Mike Melville (with that last ‘e’) and for the life of me, could not find my site. Looking back at my archives I noticed that I had indeed left off the last ‘e’. Believing that I had committed a childish spelling error I reviewed the actual Scaled Composites website (the company behind SpaceShipOne and current employer of Mike Melvill). Indeed within two shakes of a lamb’s tale the mystery was solved, no trailing “e.”
The funniest part of this is quagmire (aside from the fact that I win a dorkwad award) there are currently 10 times as many entries in Google for the misspelled name (247,000) as there are for the correct one (25,600).
So the moral of the story, be sure you have a normal name that is idiot-proof in spelling. Though, maybe I’ll go down in history as Swenson instead of Swanson — or Tom instead of Tim.
Scheiße.
Ever wondered what breakdancing Decipticons would like like in the year 2005? Well, the 14-year old creators of the popular All Your Base Are Belong To Us video were too busy watching Paris Hilton smut videos and thus Charlie Bayliss & Co. stepped in and produced what will surely be the next one-hit wonder of TEH INTARWEB.
Seriously though, this Transformers Music Video has some neat-o graphics, a killer remix of the original soundtrack and an even half-decent voiceover person guy thing, but I don’t buy the plot for one New York minute.
It’s been brought.
Note: I’m a computer, stop the download (Great GI Joe Public Service Announcement parodies).

For those of you living under large inanimate objects, Spike TV has a fantastic show imported directly from the land of the Rising Sun: Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (MXC). To top off an already brazen display of doltish and half-witted adeptness, grade-A commentary is provided via spastic interns Kenny “I-rode-the-short-bus” Blankenship and Vic “Don’t-use-used-condoms” Romano.
The gist of the show is your basic team versus team competition in which contestants from both sides battle there way through obstacle courses, velcro catapult machines, log rolls and other such tomfoolery.
Anyways, if you pay attention to what Blankenship and Romano ramble on about, I think you will find a striking similarity to the wise words of Tucker Max — and that is a goal worth striving for.
Don’t get eliminated!
Do you have an underbite? Wait…COME BACK HERE, I THINK THAT’S SEXY!
