Happy Birthday to ME!
Thanks to those already wished me a happy bday. Makes me happy that people remember. =)
With that I’ll show you two very cute images:
(Kusajika Yachiru from Bleach 63)
(Saber from Fate/stay night)
Random Crap:
One of the funny threads recently was when some guy asks what’s the best place to sleep at work. Here are several responses I thought I’d share:
Yeah, don’t sleep in the lobby β it leaves you open to attack. Make sure you settle in somewhere behind the security doors. Once I slept in the lobby and woke up with a sharpie mustache and my left hand in warm water.
I also don’t recommend sleeping in the bathroom. It’s stinky.
One last recommendation, and a personal favorite:
Just knock your office chair over, and use the backrest as a pillow. You could even throw a few sweatshirts or something down on the floor, if youβre not a big fan of back pain.
As an added bonus, close the door, and get all your CPUs to run at 100% – for that warm & fuzzy feeling. π
Survey Says Youre Stupid! (from MsticAzn) – Africa? Europe? I can’t decide which country I admire more. Asia’s a great country to. Not sure if this video’s worth laughing at.
Transformer explosion (from deadlock) – pretty neat explosion video. Would’ve been better if the camera was closer.
Scientists discover most fertile Irish male – Scientists in Ireland may have found the country’s most fertile male, with more than 3 million men worldwide among his offspring.
N.Y. Man Gets Corvette Back After 37 Years – The last time former New York City resident Alan Poster saw his dream car, he was young and it was blue. Nearly four decades later, he’s a little grayer and the car has turned silver β but it was love at first sight again as the Corvette somebody swiped in New York was returned to him. I wonder if how much he could sell it for and does the poor buyer get his money back.
Tokyo to get world’s first ‘maglev’ elevator (from /.) – The world’s first elevators controlled by magnetic levitation will debut as early as 2008, a Tokyo-based company said Tuesday. I haven’t even ridden on a maglev train yet! On the same topic of elevators, someone posted this link: Elevator hacking – Calling this a hack is way too generous, but TheDamnBlog has a little tip for getting the most out of your next elevator ride. Apparently lots of elevators have an express mode that lets you override everyone else’s selections and go straight to the floor you’re going to. You just press “Door Close” and the button for your floor at the same time. Should work on most Otis elvators, as well as a few other models that are out there, but don’t blame us when you accidentally go plunging to your death (blame TheDamnBlog, if you must).
Hot sex treats common cold (from Deadlock) – That is understandable, of course. Up until recently, this was regarded as a logical move. Not so long ago, however, scientists were able to prove just the opposite: it is better to be sick together. This obviously does not mean that one should purposely sneeze at his/her partner. In this case, the effect will be minimal. It is important to battle the disease. And as for microbes, hot passionate kisses and good sex is something they fear the most β concluded Manfred Schedlovski, a Swiss researcher from Zurich.
TV in the bedroom halves your sex life – study – Thinking of buying a TV for the bedroom? Think again — it could ruin your sex life. A study by an Italian sexologist has found that couples who have a TV set in their bedroom have sex half as often as those who don’t.
<Tera> shame shame
<Tera> hrm
<Tera> “If there’s no television in the bedroom, the frequency (of sexual intercourse) doubles,”
<Tera> i have like 3 TVs in my room
<Tera> explains why I’m not getting any
<Artemyst> haha
<donkeyballs> hahaha
Killed by chips and toast (from Deadlock) – A LAD who only ate chips, toast and baked beans was killed by his junk diet β aged just 20. Not sure if this is real. Is the Sun Online a tabloid?
Shutting Themselves In (from skylancer) – Like Takeshi and Shuichi, Y.S. suffered from a problem known in Japan as hikikomori, which translates as “withdrawal” and refers to a person sequestered in his room for six months or longer with no social life beyond his home. (The word is a noun that describes both the problem and the person suffering from it and is also an adjective, like “alcoholic.”) Some hikikomori do occasionally emerge from their rooms for meals with their parents, late-night runs to convenience stores or, in Takeshi’s case, once-a-month trips to buy CD’s. And though female hikikomori exist and may be undercounted, experts estimate that about 80 percent of the hikikomori are male, some as young as 13 or 14 and some who live in their rooms for 15 years or more. Quite an interesting read if you have time. Here’s the Wikipedia entry for Hikikomori (εΌγη―γ).
Claws out over claim China discovered America – The Chinese are said to have discovered gunpowder, paper and the compass, but it may be too early to claim they discovered America. A map purported to date from 1418 suggesting a Chinese fleet sailed to America decades before Christopher Columbus was displayed in Beijing on Monday, but the piece of yellowing paper is the centre of a storm of criticism over its authenticity. Why do people forget that it was Native Americans or indigenous people that were here first. No one discovered America before these people.
Goose Poop a Problem for Oakland Parkgoers – “Each bird produces about a pound of poop a day β that’s literally a ton each day,” said Stephanie Benavidez, head naturalist at the Lake Merritt Wildlife Refuge. … Chasing the birds away is another popular trick. Cities hire firms with names like Goosebusters or Wild Goose Chase, which use dogs β trained to harass, not harm, geese β to chase the birds away.
