The Internet is a dangerous place. Make sure you take the proper precautions.

Cow Fart Catcher

You would think that cows have it bad enough already. However, just when you thought squeezing cow nipples on a daily basis with an end game to burgersville was enough, the Argentines have come up with a way to torture cows even more — catching their farts. As you can see in this picture, it looks really comfortable.

How to Turn Your Eggs Into Rabbits & Bears

Jon Henshaw — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:21:41 +0000

You can do a lot of things with eggs, and I’m not talking about the 99 things you can do with virtual eggs — that’s just lame. I’m also not talking about the several things you can do with an egg, without actually doing something with it. No, I’m talking about really cool stuff you can do with an egg, like coloring and reshaping it into little rabbits and bears.

Mica Johnson did just that. She bought these cool little egg molds from a Japanese dollar store and made the cutest eggs you’ll ever see (and eat). With the molds, all you have to do is:

Put an egg in the mold and close the cover.
Prepare a bowl of cold water.
Leave the egg mold in the water for 10 minutes.

Mica added some food coloring during the process to make them look even more fun to eat. Too bad they’re only for eggs, I’m sure the vegan Schmoo would love this one.

Clean Energy From Bouncing Breasts

Now there’s another reason to wear poorly supportive sports bras during exercise — it’s not just for stares anymore. The possibilities come from none other than Dr. Wang. Yep, it’s true, couldn’t make this up if I wanted to. Dr. Wang has studied the three axes of boob movement: from side to side, front to back, and up and down. This is also known as the full rotation jiggle. So how much energy can these bosom buddies harness?

“There is a lot of friction and movement in that general area…”
“So you can generate enough energy to power an iPod?” I ask.
“Definitely,” Wang replies.

Adam Ant – Stuart Leslie Goddard
Alice Cooper – Vincent Furnier
Bob Dylan – Robert Zimmerman
Bono – Paul David Hewson

The World Will End In 2012

Jon Henshaw — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:31:32 +0000

Ancient madness predicts that we’re totally screwed in 2012.

“You have to understand, there will be nothing, nothing left,” Geryl told ABC News from his home in Antwerp, Belgium. “We will have to start an entire civilization from scratch.”
That’s because Geryl believes the world as we know it will end in 2012. He points to the ancient Mayan cyclical calendars, the longest of which last renewed itself approximately 5,125 years ago and is set to end again, supposedly with catastrophic consequences, in 2012. He speaks of the ancient Egyptians, who, he claims, saw 2012 as a year of great change too. And he points to science: NASA predicts a sharp increase in the number of sunspots and sun flares for 2012, he said, sure to cause electrical failures and satellite disruptions.
All this adds up, Geryl said, to unprecedented catastrophe. First, a polar reversal will cause the north to become the south and the sun to rise in the west. Shattering earthquakes, massive tidal waves and simultaneous volcanic eruptions will follow. Nuclear reactors will melt, buildings will crumble, and a cloud of volcanic dust will block out the sun for 40 years. Only the prepared will survive, Geryl said, and not even all of them.

A Douchebag Named Floyd Brown

Jon Henshaw — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 02:13:24 +0000

Floyd “the douchebag” Brown is a conserative asshole whose myopic world view helps contribute to a world full of unnecessary wars and oppression against those who are less fortunate (aka, not well do to do; aka, not abundantly rich). Floyd “crotch rot” Brown started a truth bending website called Expose Obama, where he and his cohorts make up lies for their own gain.

What’s great about Floyd “dick sucker” Brown is that he has a website that tries to harm you if you visit it. How do I know this, because Google and Firefox told me so. If you search for “floyd brown” on Google, his website comes up first, but there’s a warning. Google says, “This site may harm your computer.” Holy shit! Really?

If you click on the link in Google, you get another warning.

Even more, if you try to go directly to the website, Firefox says, no way!

Labeling his site as an attack site is both irony and sweet justice.
