“My Cubicle”

Parody on “You’re Beautiful” by James BluntCube FarmMy job is stupid my day’s a bore,
Inside this office from eight to four
Nothin’ ever happens my life is pretty bland,
Pretending that I’m working, pray I don’t get canned.My Cubicle, My cubicle
It’s One of Sixty two
It’s my small space in a crowded place
Just a six-by-six foot booth
And I hate it that’s the truthWhen I give a sigh as the boss walks by,
no one ever talks to me or looks me in the eye.
And I really should work but instead I just sit here and surf the Internet.In My Cubicle, My cubicle
It doesn’t have a view.
It’s my small space in a crowded place
I sit in solitude.
And sometimes I sit here nude.
Random Crap:
Tiny Tokyo Collection (from Cari) – An experiment using photoshop to create the effect of a “tilt shift” lens, a la the photos of Olivo Barbieri. These are all real photos of Tokyo, not plastic models. I’ve posted before on a photographer who used tilt shift lens to produce photos of that look like little city models, but apparently nowadays, you can use photoshop.
D1大整古-流動廁所 (from MsticAzn) – NOT WORK SAFE! Apparently a sequel to the snow sliding massage chair. The title translates to “D1 Big Prank – Moving Bathroom” as they set up a prank toilet where it rises up and shows everyone what you’re doing.
Woman auctions herself with her Ferrari – A woman living in Germany is auctioning off her red Ferrari Enzo sports car and including a little extra in the package — herself.
Operation removes lightbulb from anus – Fateh Mohammad, a prison inmate in Pakistan, says he woke up last weekend with a glass lightbulb in his anus. Wednesday night, doctors brought Mohammad’s misery to an end after a one-and-a-half hour operation to remove the object.
2006 IDEA AWARDS (from /.) – went through a bunch of them, and some of the ideas are pretty neat!
Smile! A new Canadian tool can re-grow teeth say inventors (from /.) – Snaggle-toothed hockey players and sugar lovers may soon rejoice as Canadian scientists said they have created the first device able to re-grow teeth and bones. The researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton filed patents earlier this month in the United States for the tool based on low-intensity pulsed ultrasound technology after testing it on a dozen dental patients in Canada. Soon, there won’t be any need for fake teeth! Yay!
Man pulls TV from house fire to watch match – A Beijing football fan refused to let the small matter of his house burning down disturb his enjoyment of Tuesday’s World Cup match between France and Spain. A fire broke out in a hutong in the centre of the Chinese capital at 3am local time on Wednesday — kickoff time in Hanover — and gutted the traditional courtyard dwelling, the Beijing Daily Messenger reported.
Dell investigating exploding laptop incident – The Dell laptop computer seen bursting into flames in photographs on the Internet was being examined as part of the company’s probe of the incident, Dell Inc. said Tuesday. “We have captured the notebook and have begun investigating the event,” Dell spokeswoman Anne Camden said, confirming the computer was made by Dell but declining to specify the model. No one was hurt in the incident, she said. Here are some actual photos of the incident. I first saw this on MS newsgroup and as someone commented, the guy on the bottom photo still using his laptop is typing into an iRC chatroom saying, “OMG! Someone’s laptop just blew up in front of me. BRB!”
Girl shoots a bow with her feet (accurately too) (from RayAlome) – amazing video of this girl who can bend in all sorts of ways and hold her entire body up with just a mouth. Then she finishes her performance by shooting an arrow with her feet blindfolded into some balloons.
Guy who is the target of a manhunt talks to a reporter live right before he goes to turn himself in (from RayAlome) – Wow, a neighbor gets shot and killed, the police are hunting for the guy and he just randomly appears in front of the police station and in front of a reporter. The reporter asks him where he has been and his reply was just classic: “I was at Jack in the Box, ordering a soda, a Sprite.”
Computer desktop of the future? (from /.) – Computer desktop of the future?. Why would someone want their computer desktop to be as messy as their real desk? A short video of what a desktop can become. Pretty interesting on the ways things are organized and sorted.
‘Big Brother’ eyes make us act more honestly (from /.) – We all know the scene: the departmental coffee room, with the price list for tea and coffee on the wall and the “honesty box” where you pay for your drinks – or not, because no one is watching. In a finding that will have office managers everywhere scurrying for the photocopier, researchers have discovered that merely a picture of watching eyes nearly trebled the amount of money put in the box. Treble = To make or become triple. Quite interesting and then someone posted this: Uncomfortable Restrooms – Public toilet in Thailand designed to make you uncomfortable. What were they thinking? I like how there’s a woman holding up a scissor and pointing down toward the urinal.
