White Chicks: Worst Movie Ever?
yes it may be true at least if the reviewers (two) are right. one quote from eberts article was intriguing though...
"Because they look so odd in makeup, the effect is quease-inducing. They fall victims, indeed, to the Uncanny Valley Effect. This phenomenon, named in 1978 by the Japanese robot expert Masahiro Mori, refers to the ways in which humans relate emotionally with robots. Up to a certain point, he found, our feelings grow more positive the more the robots resemble humans. But beyond a certain stage of reality, it works the other way: The closer they get to humans, the more we notice the differences and are repelled by them"
a rather odd but i think insightful comment. yet i can't figure out why this is the case.

Hippies
oh there seem to be a lot of them these days and after they bummed money off me they seem to have spent it on 'Fahrenheit 9/11'. It was the number one movie and broke some sort of hippie record... Now granted i want to see the movie to see how it spun the facts but i refuse to support it, a "catch 22."
thus if any of our readers have seen the film please comment on how horrible or fantastic you thought it was.......

Low on Self Esteem?
Saw this in Rhode Island one day when I went out for lunch.
Kickin' Kids Karate Class. I guess its for big people who have low self esteem. I can imagine going in after work and kicking around a few kids would do wonders for my ego.

What is a lot of money?
Ken Jennings a mormon from Utah has broken records for Jeopardy by staying on for 18 consecutive shows and bringing his total winnings to more than 600,000.
The previous record was set by Tom Walsh and was a measly 7 shows and 180,000 dollars.
Ken Jennings attended Brigham Young University, and was on the College Bowl team there and also currently writes questions for the National Academic Quiz Tournament.
Asked what he plans to do with the winnings, Jennings replied that he's going to donate 10% of it to the mormon church.
While Jenning's streak is impressive, The sad thing is that they could end this streak by asking him, "This is what Joseph Smith produced by looking into a "magic hat" with "magic stones" and allegedly reading the word of God in a secret language which proclaimed that God gave him permission to sleep with other women, that the Jewish People and Jesus migrated to America and are ancestors to the Native Americans, and that if anyone else even saw these stones they would die." He would answer "What is the book of Mormon?" The correct answer would be "What is a hoax?"

Inappropriate!
The Smokinggun.com has a petition from the Attorney General of Oklahoma against Judge Donald Thompson.
The petition is quite a humorous read alleging that Judge Thompson did his business under his black robe during court procedings. His business includes using a penis pump, Oiling his "court marshall", and shaving his "bailiff".
After seeing this for more than 15-20 times, the court reporter decided that she had seen enough and decided to file for an investigation. 15-20 TIMES!?
Then came the outpouring of witnesses, jurors, cops, and others who testify that they heard a "ch-ch" sound that sounded like a blood pressure cuff. During court procedings. When they would ask the judge about it he would deny knowing what it was. After all who would suspect that he was pumping his ego during court procedings?
Then the cleaning staff came forward and said they had seen the pump under the desk of the Judge who claims it was a "gag gift from friends." Of course penis pumps aren't his bag baby.
If you have the time, read the entire the petition. I can only imagine how many times they had to stop for laughing breaks while writing this masterpiece.

German Confusion
This is the Third email I've received that's completely in German from someone I don't know. It doesn't seem like spam, and when I translate it in babelfish it doesn't make sense. I took German in High School, but I can't make sense of this at all. Anyone out there can explain what this email's about?
See Full text in German and in Babelfish Translation in Extended Entry.
Original ----
Am 3. Dezember wurde mein Sohn gegen 18 Uhr in der Innenstadt von einer Gruppe tuerkischer Jugendlicher angepoebelt und schliesslich von einem der Jugendlichen zusammengeschlagen. Obwohl mein Sohn den Schlaeger auf eine erst kuerzlich bei ihm durchgefuehrte schwere Kopfoperation hinwies, die durch eine ca. 20 cm lange Narbe auf der Stirn unmoeglich zu uebersehen ist, bekam er einen Faustschlag mitten ins Gesicht. Nach ambulanter Versorgung im Krankenhaus, fuhr ich anschliessend mit meinem Sohn zur Wuelfrather Polizeiwache um Anzeige zu erstatten. Dort aber mussten wir feststellen, dass der wachhabende Beamte sich Gedanken darum machte, ob mein Sohn eventuell einer rechtsradikalen Gesinnung nachhaengt. Den Verdacht hierfuer begruendete er mit den sehr kurzen Haaren meines Sohnes, die ihm nach einer Chemotherapie ausgefallen waren. Weder ich noch mein Sohn sind Anhaenger einer rechtsradikalen Gesinnung. Es kann unmoeglich sein, dass man sich noch dafuer rechtfertigen muss, von!
wem auch immer verpruegelt worden zu sein.
Kommentar des Sober Autors:
So sieht es in unserem Deutschland aus. Die Bullen sind nur bezahlte Geldeintreiber (DIE DU AUCH NOCH BEZAHLST VON DEINEN STEUERN,,...)!
Wenn man die Taeter schnappt, wird sich dein Sohn wohl entschuldigen muessen, weil er sich nicht hat tot schlagen lassen!
Klingt zwar etwas Zynisch, aber Kanacken duerfen das in Deutschland!
In diesem Sinne
Babelfished---
On 3 December my son was angepoebelt against 18 o'clock in the city center by a group of Turkish young people and finally together-struck by one the young people. Although my son the racquet referred to one only recently with it accomplished heavy head operation, by one approx.. 20 cm long scar on the forehead to survey impossible is, got he a punch in the middle in the face. To ambulatory supply in the hospital, I drove afterwards with my son to the Wuelfrather police station around announcement to refund. There however we had to state that the sergeant of the guard an official thought about whether my son possibly after-hangs a right-wing extremist convicition. For this it justified the suspicion with the very short hair of my son, which had failed it after a chemotherapy. Neither I nor my son are trailers of a right-wing extremist convicition. It can be impossible that one must still justify oneself for it, of! whom to have been also always flogged. Comment of the Sober of author: Thus it looks in our Germany. The bulls are only paid money A drivers (WHICH YOU ALSO STILL PAY FROM YOUR TAXES,,...)! if one the authors snatch, your son to excuse will probably have themselves, because it could not be struck dead! Something Zynisch sounds, but Kanacken may in Germany! In this sense

A post all about the Benjamins
It has long been suspected that North Korea has been printing counterfeit money at the government level. Unlike the Million Dollar Bill these Superdollars are near perfect 100 dollar bills that fool even the best experts.
The North Korean government is suspected of acquiring a highly sophisticated printing press called the intaglio. In combination with the right paper and inks, they have the ability to produce 100 dollar bills that can fool most anyone. The more I think about it, this is the perfect investment. As long as you're successfuly at some point, you can guarantee a return on your investment by printing as much money as you like. Because these bills are so good we can't be sure exactly how many are circulating in the U.S.
This isn't the only dirty money in the U.S. In tests up to 4 out of 5 of all bills in circulation in the United States have traces of Cocaine on it. Think about that the next time you enjoy the smell of fresh cash money.
Back to counterfitting...
I recently found out that the Self Checkout machines now in grocery stores and Wal-Marts accept 100 dollar bills. I'm thinking it would be a lot easier to come up with a bill that passes whatever algorithm the machine uses than it would be to fool humans who handle and touch the money all day. And since you can buy just about anything you need at a Super Wal-Mart you'd be pretty much set for life.
Who's comin with me?

Don't use the J-word in public!
the J-word is Jesus and at a town meeting it was used in an opening prayer. the town says that it allows anyone to lead the prayer from rabbis to catholics and all those in between and therefore defends its practice. Are they right?
And what to make of this quote from the article:
"The founding fathers weren't trying to keep religion out of government, they were trying to keep government out of religion," said Farmer, pastor of the New Life Church and president of the Deerfield Beach Christian Ministerial Association. "Their desire was for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion."
I leave it all to you and your comments...

Things to Think About: Is this Racism?
a bank one in chicago's southside has put metal detectors into its building. Each person that enters needs to pass through. Just so happens this neighborhood is perdominatly black. The Bank says they need the extra security because of high crime in that area. Some residents feel its because its a 'black neighborhood' and thus racial profiling.
My point of view: I say if a business is in a high crime area it has the right to take certian steps to protect itself. If the residents dont like the security measures then fine dont bank there. I think that it will make certian customers more likely to bank with them... id rather bank at a place i know my money is more safe if i live in a crime high neighborhood.
Your thoughts are welcome....

We Got Shemales
well that title should help us to come up on google some more....
this guy who became a girl and married another girl tried to divorce his wife because in texas two woman cannot be married..... then the shemale tried to claim that he was a man and therefore wanted a regular divorce (confused yet?).... the conversation with the judge went like this:
"Are you a male or a female?" the judge asked.
"According to doctors," Carter replied, "both."
but here is what i dont get... to the best of my knowledge someone is male with an XY format and with all proper receptors working...
if someone is cleary born male without any of those hermathphrodite disorders shouldnt they always be male no matter what happens as long as they live?
like if i just wake up tomarrow and say to everyone, "im a female." does that make me one?
i say born a man stay a man, even if you do start to take drugs ,have an operation, or wear womans clothes!

The G-Mail-Spot
So I have gmail and I love it. For those of you who don't know. Gmail offers you 1 Gigabyte of email storage. A typical email user will be able to use that for years without deleting a single message. Previously some people, Jesse Namely, paid tens of dollars to have 20 megabytes of storage with Hotmail. Gmail is still in testing, so not everyone can get an account, so it is by invite only.
I've already given away a ton of invites, but now I have at least 5 more.
List in comments what you'll do in exchange for a Gmail invite.
Money is always accepted, but I'd like to see more creative ideas.

Paul Johnson
Paul Johnson has passed away today. Our condolences to his family in New Jersey.
Al Qaeda took Paul Johnson's life as an act of terrorism against the United States and Saudi Arabia. They have killed an innocent American contractor in the name of their "Religion." Even though they claim they are doing the right thing, they release the video with their heads covered and in secrecy as to their identities. ( link to pictures. WARNING VERY GRAPHIC)
There are over 30,000 American's and many other Europeans working in Saudi Arabia and we are vital to a successful Saudi economy. These cowards are picking off American's off the street and killing them in secrecy. It's a low cost low risk operation with possible high rewards.
We need to launch a major offensive against these terrorists and put an end to these atrocities. First we need to behead the convicted prisoners that the terrorists were trying to get released. Next we need to continue to grow a global effort against terrorism that expands across Nations, Religions, and Races.
How long does it take before we realize that everyone is at risk and that everyone is paying the price? Think of the terrorism tax we've all had to pay at the airport, at the gas pump, at any major sporting event, The olympics in Greece?
The New York Times ran over 50 headlines on the front page about the disgraceful actions of a handful of soldiers. Meanwhile, Our soldiers are rebuilding Iraq. A dictator has fallen, schools are being rebuilt, the average salary for Iraqis is up over 300% since the fall of Saddam. Our soldiers continue to fight the good fight. How much coverage has this received?
We need to stop attacking the Army, Bush, and America and start attacking our real enemies.

Poly - Esther
Looks like Madonna is changing her name. The artist formerly known as Madonna has had an impressive career and is probably one of the best known international artists in pop culture.
We've seen her go from having a British accent to having cone boobs. Now that she is a part of the Kaballah religion she wants to switch from her former name which was "giving her bad vibes." She was previously named after her mother who died of cancer when she was 5.
It does seem a bit odd that she is changing her name to Esther, but as we all know when people change their name it doesn't always make sense.

A 2 hour tour
If you've got nothing to do why not head over to audition to be on the next reality show: Gilligans Island.
This reality show casting call is looking for people who will be the perfect "Gilligan, Skipper, Thurston or Lovey Howell, Ginger Grant, Mary Ann, or The Professor (just what was his name, anyway?)." They encourage you to fill out an application and come out to casting calls which are in currently announced in Boston, Kansas, and Florida.
The show will be based on situations from the real life T.V. show. The show is set to air on TBS. I think this show is doomed for disaster even before it sets sail.

Lilia Belkova wants to be nominated for Miss Manners.
On a US Airways flight from Miami to Philadelphia Lilia Belkova refused to sit down in her seat and to hang up her cell phone. She said doing so would be rude.
After refusing to sit down when a stewardess told her to, two air marshalls got up and orderedher to sit down. After an air marshall put a hand on her shoulder to direct her to her seat, she turned around and slapped him on the face causing "minor swelling".
After being handcuffed and removed for causing trouble on a plane, Lilia Belkova has been jailed being charged with assaulting a federal officer and interfering with a flight crew.

Well according the a multitude of websites, everyone's favorite monkey-faced twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, will be turning 18 tomorrow.
I for one have never completely understood what all the excitement was about. I mean do you people really think that girls whose company makes a billion dollars a year are going to be willing to pose naked in Playboy for a few million dollars? Have you been waiting to fantasize about the Olsen Twins untill they were 18? In Any case, Happy Birthday Mary Kate & Askley.

Another Family Feel Good Spielberg Rip-off
On June 18th, millions of Americans will flock to the theaters to see The Terminal.
The premise of the movie is that Viktor Navorski, finds himself stuck in a US airport as a refugee with no where to go. Enter Tom Hanks, aka Forrest Gump/Castaway. I'm sure we'll see 30-45 minutes of Tom Hanks being mesmerized by US technology in airports, visual puns, and oh those silly American habits.
Then after a calculated number of minutes Catherine Zeta Jones enters, falls in love with this quirky man. Oh I'm sure her friends will call her crazy, but Jonesy will be intrigued by this stranger and they probably get married at the airport chapel attended by all the airport employees with cute little makeshift decorations. I'm sure they'll celebrate with little airplane size liquor bottles. But then Viktor Navorksi will get the chance to return to home, but he will choose his new love over his old country in a twist, and come foolishly running back to one of the hottest women alive and for US citizenship.
After seeing this fun family film, most American's will still not know who Merhan Karimi Nasseri is. They will not know that Nasseri has been living in Terminal 1 in Charles de Gaulle International Airport for the past 15 years. They will not know this even though Spielberg and Dreamworks have paid him a considerable amount of money for his story.
You can see read the true story of the Nasseri the True Viktor Navorski.
Sure the true story doesn't involve Catherine Zeta Jones, or poker games involving a giant marlin, but I hate how Spielberg just guts the entire story and basically rewrites it. Isn't there enough emotion and story in a story about a man who has been exiled by Iran for speaking against the government, and then being tossed from capital to capital and then forced to live in an Airport terminal? What about the story of the incompetent lawyer who hasn't been able to get the demands of his clients for the past 15 years. Or how Nasseri has become slightly confused or crazy in staying in the airport for 15 years.
I'm just dissappointed in Hollywood's inability to make a new movie. Even when they have a new idea or a new idea that they bought, they still alter it beyond recognition to fit into their little movie equations. Spielberg should know by now that a happy ending isn't always a good ending. Remember AI?

Hard Core Spelling Bee Video
Here's a link to the video of the trooper who passed out while spelling and then stood back up and continued at the National Spelling Bee.
What bothers me is how nobody reacts. A boy passes out on stage. Everyone gasps, but nobody bothers to check him out or help him back up. Then the boy very solemnly continues.
Who are these people?

Stop Hitting Yourself
Most people hate spam. We buy elaborate filters and try to come up with innovative systems to defeat this nasty nuisance. However, A new study by Sandvine is suggesting that most people are harming themselves. The study claims that up to 80% of spam nowadays comes from Windows machines in people's home that are infected with viruses, worms, and trojans.
So if you want to help fight spam get a firewall/router, patch up your version of windows, get antivirus, switch to a non-windows platform, Get Adaware and Spybot, Stop looking at so much porn, And follow the same steps on your parents computer.

That thing got a hemi?
At a former job I used to have this CD-ROM drive that would buzz like crazy and I would joke that I had a gas powered computer. Little did I know that some day I would actually want one.
Toshiba plans on releasing a notebook later this year that is powered by methanol. Although I would think that putting fuel cartridges into your laptop that tends to get a little hot, would create an explosion hazard, but maybe being able to always carry around 10 hours worth of instantly rechargeable laptop power is worth it.
They are working on a second generation of laptops that will allow for a tube to be used as a human input device to help supply the laptop with additinal methane and power the laptop for even longer.

S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G-B-E-E
Every year, there is the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Every year, this event is covered on TV and millions of American's get to watch the intense emotion and competition at this olympic event.
This year, the competition was so intense, that Akshay Buddiga passed out on stage. After coming to, he continued to correctly finish spelling his word. He later went on to lose first place, and become second place. Apparently he wasn't tough enough to beat David Tidmarsh.
David Tidmarsh won by correctly spelling autochthonous, in the 15th round. Cnn.com defines this word as indigenous. Which makes me wonder, if they're already a word for it, why make a more difficult word that is impossible to spell when you already have a word that has the same meaning. In the end Tidmarsh won 12,000 dollars. When asked what he wanted to do with the money he replied, "Get away from the damn dictionary, get out of the house for the first time in a year, and go Boozing. B-O-O-Z-I-N-G. Boozing.

Thumb press madness
I haven't been posting so much recently because I'm down in DC looking for a place to live. While I'm down here I've been living with a text message fiend. I must hear the ringer on Jim's phone go off every 10 minutes. Lately with cell phone companies offering unlimited text messaging plans allow people to send useless tidbits of information and pictures to each other that keep us entertained. It seems easy enough for the phone companies because the text messages probably take minimal bandwidth and it seems ridiculous to charge for each one.
That's precisely what ticked off Fraser Ray. His phone company was going to start charging up to 20 cents per text message. So Ray went on a mission. Stopping only 8 hours a day for sleep, he sent 2,580 messages every day for a total of 80,012 text messages. Had Ray been charged for those messages, he would have had a fat bill of over 10,000 dollars.
In related News, Rays friends have switched phone numbers and refuse to accept any more communication from Ray.

Good Eats
So being just out of college I remember what an important part of life instant food was. I've lived off of the vast array of food products that can be freeze dried, and am curious as to why they can't freeze dry more. It's so simple, boil water add (stovetop | easyMac | ramen | minute rice ). And you've got yourself a meal.
For those of you who are tired of this just add water strategy, I've found this Ramen Recipe Repository Where you can find interesting ways to give your freeze dried food that home cooked touch. Because I've never tried any of these recipes don't hold me responsible of any of these recipes end up causing bodily harm. So don't throw a nasty injury claims style lawsuit at me. But somehow Ramen fettucine alfredo doesn't sound the safest.
