One Corner in the Ether |
The USS Cole was attacked by terrorists while at portin Yemen back in 2000. Far from recent news, but here’s how we brought her back for repairs. The Cole is a fairly big guided missile destroyer. The Marlin is a huge ship and it partly submerged itself, had the Cole tugged over it, and ascended with the Cole now on its deck.
The Cole returned to the Fleet in 2002.
Are you a political donor? Did you know that donor information for political contributions is made available to the public? Fundrace.org, as well as a few other websites have made personal donor information available for all to see. Intersted in how your neighborhood is leaning? Just enter your street address (major metropolitan areas) and you’ve got list of all of your neighbor’s contributions.
I checked out my neighborhood around Chez Hugo, and found a few names I knew. From the look of it my neighborhood is pretty commie-pinko.
I also looked around the Los Altos home my parents live in, and was surprised to find that the average contribution was not large. I guess you don’t get a house in the hills by throwing away bills.
Thad’s Building throws around some bling.
Big brother is watching. Oh yes he is.
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(Hardly seems worth it.)
If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
(Now that’s more like it!)
The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out
to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
(O.M.G.!)
A pig’s orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
(In my next life, I want to be a pig.)

I was never good at the punch a mole game. My excuse was that I was six and the wacking stick was too heavy. That same year I found out that you could pull out all the tickets from the skee-ball machine if you pull them slowly with constant pressure. That is really neither here nor there and I don’t remember any of the cool prizes I won, so there’s your brief glipse of me as a 6 year old.
In other news, this game is fun and will prepare you for your next career in data entry which starts shortly after your boss sees you playing this.

One of my buddies forwarded me the link to a quick flash file that made me laugh a little. If you need a quick laugh, try and think back to the days in the computer lairs of your college… and then open the link.
Poster’s note: I can’t help feel this is rigged, but I wouldn’t put it past myself to do a similar thing.
