The more I look at this chart, the more depressed I get. Not only am I apparently in the wrong field, but I am not even close to the median income for that field. Frack!

In case you were thinking of voting for a new president in 2008, think again. It turns out Diebold has accidentally leaked the results due to a software glitch. Oh well. Why not vote for something that really matters? Via The Presurfer.

College Republicans have won the right to be uncivil with everyone else. I can’t wait for them to start whining that others are being mean to them. Now that would be ironic!

I don’t often cook at home because, really, I just can’t be bothered. I used to cook all the time. Nice stuff, too. Over time, though, it just got to be a hassle. There were so many other things I wanted to do with that hour! I switched to frozen dinners and 10 minute pasta dishes. Yes, I’m lazy.
This guy, however, not only lost 150 pounds recently, but KILLED HIMSELF in the process of cooking!
Michael Downing first burned himself on some noodles he was cutting up in a pan on the stove, and then accidentally stabbed himself in the chest with the knife when he jerked his hand away. Authorities say the steak knife slipped between Downing’s ribs and pierced his heart. His two sons, 8 and 10, witnessed the accident.
Yet another reason to never, ever cook again.

My Dad sent me this. I can’t imagine why he thought I’d enjoy it so…
Maybe because it mentions Atari…? Also, many apologies for posting something about XMas before the first of December. I had to post this now, though, before I forgot.

I know the title is confusing but it comes down to this… Science fiction has thought up tons of really cool things that people often think it would be awesome to have. Yet if these things existed in real life they would cause more problems than they would solve. Take, for example, the Star Trek’s (among others) holodeck.
We’re thinking if aliens showed up to Earth 1,000 years after the invention of the holodeck, they’d find a silent planet with 10 billion mummified corpses laying on the floor of 10 billion dusty holodecks, with huge smiles on their faces.
I think you can imagine just what that huge smile signifies… Anything missing from the list at the link? I’m thinking light sabers. It sounds cool until someone loses an eye (and has it cauterized in the process)!

Two unrelated articles that somehow ring with the faint bell of ironic justice. The first is about the tree huggers in Berkeley. One of them fell out of the tree he was trying to protect and broke bones. Did the tree push him out?
The second is about a man who, while fleeing from police, jumped in a lake and was promptly killed by a nine foot alligator. Who knew the police were so desperate that they were recruiting wildlife?

A MAN who lived in his own “zoo” of lizards and insects was fatally bitten by a pet black widow spider — then eaten by the other creepy-crawlies.
Police broke in to Mark Voegel’s apartment to find spider Bettina along with 200 others, several snakes, a gecko lizard called Helmut and several thousand termites had gorged on his body.
And the article just gets better from there with descriptions of the insects coming out of the nose and mouth of the victim. Thanks to Brown That Banana for the link!
