This Will Blow Your Mind

A big thanks to Patches for the heads up on Google Wave.  In case you didn't know, Google is going to take over the world.  If you don't believe me, just watch some or all of this video:

Apocalypse Now

A medical student says he was suspended from New Jersey's University of Medicine and Dentistry for insisting that he's a white African-American.  Paulo Serodio, 42, was born in Mozambique before moving to the U.S., and described himself in a class assignment on identity as "white, African, American."  Serodio says students and faculty berated him, saying no white person could call himself an African-American.  When he persisted, he was suspended for two years.  He is now suing the school.

Not Worthless


Words cannot describe the awesomeness of this video...


Worthless

There is a guy who has made it a goal to visit every Starbucks in the world. I don't know about you, but this "recreational act" or "hobby" only inspires hate from me. What is the point? I mean, really. What is the point??? I don't think I can think of a bigger waste of time and money.

He says that his rule is that he must drink at least one caffeinated drink at each one and he also takes a picture of himself outside the store.  You know what my rule is?  He's an idiot.

As Cartman would say, "Lame."

On a side note, apparently this guy is also a top 100 ranked Scrabble player for the United States, so he has two (count them!), two worthless hobbies. Keep up the good work!

Arbitrary Thoughts

If there were one word I could use to describe the Snickers I just ate it would have to be "Substantialiscious."

Substantialiscious \sub-'stan(t)-shu-'li-shus\
(noun). The weight of something when you weigh it with your tongue.

Apocalypse Now

Or is it just Dune coming to real life??? You be the judge:

"Astronauts on space station drink water recycled from urine, sweat, and water condensed from exhaled air."





Water World was a cinematic masterpiece!!!!!!!!

Apocalypse Now

Given all the recent hullabaloo about Manny, A-Fraud and the 100's (or thousands) of other steroid users in Major League Baseball, I found the following story quite humorous and poignant:

"Belgian bodybuilders run from doping officials during championship"

So apparently a bodybuilding championship was scheduled to take place over in Brussells, but in an apparent attempt to dodge doping officials it was moved across the border in Holland to Vlissingen (try saying that 5 times fast). Just one problem for the roid-heads... the doping officials obtained the neccessary documents to inspect the tournament in its new location. Zing.

So what did these guys do? Submit to the testing? Go on a steroid-driven rampage around the nice little town of Vlissingen??

Nah.

Instead, in their infinite wisdom, twenty of the bodybuilders actually physically fled the scene of the championship!!! How great a mental image is that??? Twenty huge, roided up 300-400 pound guys grabbing their gear and running out of the building!! Are guys that big even able to run?!?!

In any case, it must've been quite the scene. I just hope that in their hurry they didn't forget their protein powder and weight belts.

Another great note from the article linked above: "Last year, 22 of the 29 tests were positive, either for steroids or for refusing testing."

Wow. I'd say there might be a little problem... maybe.

Arbitrary Thoughts...

Is it ever going to get warm out?? It's May 19. Be serious Mother Nature.
