Stupid Journo Tricks

Retarded analogy of the week:

An Australian performance artist set a new Guinness World Record on Monday by simultaneously swallowing 18 swords, each nearly as long as two and a half rulers.


That's roughly 0.0083 football fields. Or about 2.6 billionths of the distance to the moon.

Murtha Dead

U.S. Representative John Murtha (D-Pa.), who dishonored himself and tarnished the reputation of the United States Marine Corps for his own personal and political gain, has died.

I disowned him as a brother Marine a couple years ago, as did many others. You, Mr. Murtha, will most certainly not be taking a turn guarding the pearly gates. If I had my way, your name would be scrubbed from the annals of the Corps. Good riddance.

Natural Pitch

Bobby McFerrin spontaneously teaches the entire audience at the World Science Festival to sing accompaniment -- in the pentatonic scale. The conference discussed the idea that music is innate to the human psyche, rather than a learned behavior. I'm not entirely sure I buy the argument, but it's a pretty compelling demonstration.

From Thin Air

This little guy was the highlight of the 2010 CES. It's a charger. So what's the Big Deal? Look closely: there's no plug. It draws electricity from a standard wi-fi signal to charge USB-capable devices. That's right; wireless power. I can almost taste that jetpack, now...

The only problem is the name: Airnergy. Good God, fellas. Really? You're making Steve Jobs look good. Hire a marketing firm.

Another Friday Timewaster

Not working this afternoon? Go to hell!

More Religion of Peace™

Just look at how peaceful and tolerant the Muzzis are! Such jolly, caring folks...

Turkish police have recovered the body of a 16-year-old girl they say was buried alive by relatives in an "honour" killing carried out as punishment for talking to boys.

Her father and grandfather are said to have been arrested and held in custody pending trial. It is unclear whether they have been charged.

A postmortem examination revealed large amounts of soil in her lungs and stomach, indicating that she had been alive and conscious while being buried.


Wow! That's so Peaceful and Tolerant and Kind and Loving... It just makes me warm all over, it does!

Toy Brain

Two inches of terror:

A New York City fourth-grader was sent to the principal's office and nearly suspended for bringing a 2-inch toy gun to school.

Nine-year-old Patrick Timoney and a friend were playing with Legos in the cafeteria at Public School 52 in Staten Island on Tuesday when Patrick produced the tiny plastic machine gun and put it in the hands of a plastic police officer.

After Patrick's mother got a call from the school, his parents met with the principal and persuaded her not to discipline him if he agreed to leave the toy gun at home.


Didn't know you could fit that much stupid inside of one principal.

A Better Seal

Apropos:

A Washington state man has filed an initiative to change the Seal of State to a well-dressed tapeworm "attached to the taxpayer's rectum."


And put a donkey head on the tape worm.

The Turtleman

I'm speechless...

Tiger Balls

12-pack o' tarts:

THE porn star lover of Tiger Woods is coming out swinging over novelty golf ball sets with the image of herself and eleven other women who claim to have had relationships with the star golfer.

Former porn star Joslyn James is afraid the "risk of violence against women may be increased because of this product"


Uh... what?

The Justice Department is looking to hire some lawyers. Looking at their hiring policy, some of the decisions coming from the DoJ make alot more sense now....
