Missouri legalizes bare-hand fishing
YOU MUST SEE THE PIC IN THIS LINK!!!!
quote: “I hope this is the first step toward a statewide noodling season,” Ramsey said. “Noodling is great fun and very satisfying and any lover of fishing should try it.”
once again sometimes the stories write themselves.

Music to get the Holiday Spirit
Here's the true Christmas album for you nerds out there. It's a compilation of christmas classics from the 8bitpeoples. The beauty in this album is that that all the music was composed on the greatest music synthesizers ever produced.
Imagine cuddling up next to the fire listening to O Holy night played on an NES, or listening to Let it snow played on a GameBoy.
For those of you looking to get this album, or to gift it as a last second gift, fortunately for you, all of the tracks are available for download.

Playing Hide the Salami down under
A Lesson to be learned: Don't play hide salami with Australian Airport Officials. You'll get slapped back with a $4000 fine.
A swiss foreign exchange student returning to Australia was found with 400 grams of Sausage in his luggage after telling officials that he was not carrying any food. A Perth Magistrate has fined Dylan Pascal Graves on the charges of knowingly making a misleading statement to an officer, and knowingly importing a prohibited food into the country.
This is supposed to serve as a warning to others that importing these meats might spread foot and mouth disease. Graves defense? He didn't declare it because was planning on eating it.

We're all screwed
For those of you who have been following this blog for some time, you're probably aware of the imminent threat that mass produced robot armies pose on society. We've covered Robot news in much detail providing you with tips on robot insurance, New Robot Development, Severe Advances in Robot Technology, and blatant abuses of the power of Robots.
Now marks the beginning of the end, Korean scientists have now released a new robot that shows the latest in robot technology. A Robot with individual fingers. This marks Korea's latest entry into the global arms race developed under the premise of being able to throw a robotic one finger salute to their robot rival Japan. Over the past year, Japan had released several models that could run, talk, and follow orders. Now, the robots have the feature the only thing that protected us from sharks, elephants, and bears. Opposable thumbs.
Now robots will be able to walk around carrying guns, shooting at people at algorithmic will. They will also be able to seal jars extra tight with robot strength effectively cutting off human food supply. And not only would robots now be able to perform atomic wedgies, but now that they can type they might even be able to use computers and the internet to plot and attack.
My greatest concern now is that the United States is yet to produce and showcase any kind of robot. My only hope is that in some dark lab somewhere, a specially government funded program is developing the US Freedom Fighting robot army that will be able to protect us from these other rogue robot nations.

God has a sense of Humor
Just to let you know who's the boss, every now and then a story breaks out like this that let you know that the good man up stairs has a sense of humor. Who doesn't like to chuckle at someone else's ironic misfortune?
This story via the Keene Sentinal
On his way to deliver packages to Cheshire Medical Center in New Hampshire, a UPS truck driver had the misfortune of being involved in an accident. The accident meant that the driver had to be ambulanced to the hospital. This hospital happened to be Cheshire Medical Center.
However, the hospital was not able to do some of the medical tests it needed to do, because one of their machines was broken. The working parts for the machine were in the UPS drivers mangled van, back on the highway.

Calendar Reform
Dick Henry, An Astronomy Professor from Johns Hopkins University is advocating for the switch to the Common-Civil-Calendar-and-Time ( C&T ) Calendar. For those of you who are not familiar with the C&T calendar, here is his page on information about the C&T Calendar as well as additional information supporting his push for the global switch and answers to frequently asked questions.
The basic principle behind the C&T Calendar is that it never changes. This means Every year, March 17 is on the same day. This also means, you can buy that Cathy Calendar once, and use it FOREVER.
He also Pushes for the global adoption of UTC Time as the standard time, so that all around the world, everyone is on the same date and the same time.
Because this system eventually become out of sync with the Earth's cycle around the sun. Every 5 or 6 years we would celebrate a mini-month. This mini-month would be a week long and it would be called Newton Month.
At first I thought it was absolutely crazy, but after reading the site and thinking about it, it would be very convenient for the entire world to be on the same time, and on the same date. It would also be convenient to plan an academic calendar for one year and have it be the same forever. The only question is would the world adopt it? Only if people like you start using it. I'm contemplating of switching the post dates on this site to be fully compliant with the new C&T Calendar. Let me know what you think.

The future of our country or the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree
It's a good thing that the President's children aren't in line if something happens to the Pres.
I heard a story (from a reliable person) this weekend, about how one night at the WhiteHouse, the twins got drunk. Now that itself isn't the story, they do that alot. What they asked the Secret Service men, to do is the story. Suppossedly, they wanted to smoke (cigerates), but not having a lighter, they asked the Secret Service men around them if they had a lighter. None of them did. So the twins then asked if the Secret Service men could Shoot the cigerates, to light them.
Kinda makes you wonder.... I mean one of them did go to any "Ivy League" school......

Finding yourself (literally) on the Net
No this isn't a christian post, but it does envolve a Roman Catholic priest.
On August 26th of this year Kevin Mura, of Crivitz WI dropped a friend off at Midway Airport in Chi-town. And then lost himself. Seems like he got "dissociative fugue, a psychiatric condition similar to amnesia in which an individual blocks out his own identity, usually as a reaction to stress." So he spends the next couple of months just bumming around the US, till he ends up Iowa. Goes to a church and gets the help of a Roman Catholic priest and a psychiatrist (sounds like the start of a bad joke), who get him to log on to the internet. And lo and behold, they find him on the missing persons page. Nothing liek findding yourself online.
P.S. This could have also gone under Wisconsin...

Man 1, Bank 0
Here's a truly amusing read for you guys. Patrick Combs received a piece of junk mail that changed his life. The junk mail included a fake check that said that soon he would be cashing checks like these. The check was made out for $95,000 and to his name. As a joke, he cashed it. And then the check cleared.

Two Competing P2P systems
Today on bryantchoung.com we will be displaying two competing P2P systems. We will also be realeasing all of the source code for both of these competing systems. In 24 lines. The point of both of these exercises is as a proof of concept showing how ridiculously easy it is to make P2P systems and how it may be impossible to shut them all down:

Daniel Puder Wins!
Since nobody really watches Smackdown, so it doesn't matter if I spoil it for you, I will go ahead and do so. Daniel Puder won the Tough Enough contest at last night's Smackdown tapings. It was also announced that he would be the first entrant into the Royal Rumble! This is exciting news as I am not a fan of "the Miz", who looks to be about the size of Spike Dudley. We will have to wait and see whether all the Tough Enough training has paid off though. It remains to be seen whether Puder can actually wrestle, since they have yet to show them doing any actual wrestling in the ring. Lets hope Puder surprises us at the Rumble and pulls off a decent showing!

Lightning Quicksand
Does anyone remember the "lightning quicksand" of the fire swamp in The Princess Bride? Well looks like it's the real thing. Good quote - "The U.S. Army is very interested in this, because these days, the U.S. Army tends to go to desert states."
Do you think that's because they want to avoid this quicksand or they want to set up traps like it?

Sorry I've been busy working, for once. So here's somethings that I've been meening to post.
Tacobell is getting a little horny in its new advertising campaign. In case you haven't been to the T'bell recently, they have been putting "witty" slogans on their hot sauce packets. Things like "Polly want a taco?" or "My other taco is a Chalupa" or "Use your stomach, nacho mind" have been seen on these little packets.
Well yesterday we got this one:
It's a not so good image, but what it says is: "Nice palm. I read a great deal of pleasure in your future."
Hmmmmmm I wonder how that could be taken.
I also went to the Melting Pot yesterday for dinner, great place good food. And interesting names for their deserts. Like this one that made me think of a gay Terps fan.
Also I was watching football the other day and had to laugh when the Ref SHOCKED THE WORLD.

Sticking it to the man
Bernard Gardner is 87 years old. Yesterday he woke up and began jackhammering the road outside his home and building a fence in the street (annexing land like the family guy?). he was rather upset that the city had taken some of his property to expand the road. when did the city do such a thing? WHEN GARDNER WAS FIGHTING IN ITALY DURING WWII.

Honest Gay Abe?
A new book to be published next year claims that Abraham Lincoln not only freed the slaves, but also took it in the pooper. "The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln," will be published on 1/11/04 by a Simon and Schuster press.
In it, the book claims that a Abraham Lincoln led this secret life of rampant homsexuality. This is based on letters between him and another man, and the fact that he was roommates with another man. Based on this evidence, if you've ever been to college and had a same sex roommate, and if you've ever written an email to another person of the same sex. Well, there's a good chance that after you're long gone and dead, that people won't remember your life for freeing slaves, but for biting the pillow.
Why write a book like this? I would say people who write books like this should be shot, but apparently C.A. Tripp has already passed away. Now that the original author as passed away, the Co-author is pleading with the printer not to print the book because, surprise, it's full of things that were just made up by C.A. Tripp.
It just seems stupid to try and rewrite history to make yourself feel better. It's such a gay thing to do.

Another Meteor Shower
Theres supposed to be another Meteor Shower Monday night. The Geminid meteor shower is promised by astronomers to be the best meteor shower of the year. I for one have been dissappointed by great space events in the past. Astronomers always say that "this eclipse is going to be the best since aught six", or "this meteor shower will blw your mind". And so I go and watch, hoping to see something incredible, but usually going away thinking, that's 1 hour of my life i'm never going to get back. But I still look, in the off chance that there will truly be something amazing as the astronomers promise every time.
So for those of you looking to kill an hour or so, go out around Tuesday Morning from 1am to 3 am with a peak around 2 AM for the best meteor shower of the year.

Here's an alphabetical list of the top search terms so far for each letter in the alphabet.

Video Game Battle
So it seems like there are a few battles that are going to be fought on the video game front.
There are three players left, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony.
online :.
There's the online battle, which I believe Microsoft is winning with their Xbox Live. You have to pay for its service, but with features like the headset communications, Halo 2 and soon to be dead or alive. Not only do you get fast broadband only connections, these games are incredibly fun to play online.NextGen :.
The next generation of console battle is pretty heated, i've seen various things on the net, including killer vidcaps for the xbox 2, a "Cell Processor" developed by Sony and IBM, No doubt that when these consoles are released the next holiday season, they will both show incredible Hi-Def Graphics, so will there be a clear winner? Was there a clear winner in the Playstation 2 vs. Xbox 1 battle?portable :.
With Portable processing power growing, and the abilities of phones, pdas, and portable devices to play games. The portable gaming field is getting kind of crowded and unclear. Sony and Nintendo have decided to release their new portable devices. After, fiddling around with the Nintendo DS. I was really impressed with the 3d Graphics, the dual display was definitely cool. And the touch screen seems to have a lot of potential. And I like the fact that Nintendo maintains backwards compatibility, has a backlight, wireless networking, uses cartidges, and is reasonably priced. The new sony PSP is coming and it uses small discs, has a memory stick slot, looks like it comes with media software and a remote control, and that oh so cool sony styling. Here are links to photos of a Sony PSP taken apart. It'll be interesting to see if either of these really take off.Posted by Bryant at 12:24 PM | Comments (0)

Been Busy Here's a quick update
I've been busy lately, haven't had much time to post stuff, nor have i found anything very interesting on the internet. There hasn't been anything postworthy until now, but i thought i'd wrap up a few other things in there too.
Ken Jennings What's a ho? video clip
While this clip is very funny, I don't see why they don't accept Ken's question. Since when do you hear people talkin about that nasty rake?
Don't know what to carry around with you on your flash memory drive? Why not everything? Weighing in at a hefty 8 gig, this memory stick will let you celebrate the entire collection of michael bolton, watch napoleon dynamite, sweep for spyware, or whatever your geeky heart likes to do pretty much anywhere anytime. I guess it's just a matter of time, before someone comes up with the brilliant idea of taking roaming profiles a step further onto Flash memory drives and makes roaming OS's. Wouldnt it be cool to just plug your flash drive into a keyboard, monitor and mouse and have your desktop? Linux open source crowd, anyone listening? VMWare people anyone listening?
HolidaysChristmas is coming
I for one can't believe christmas is already almost here. Now I have to think of what people should get me for Christmas. Although I might wish that people stop being idiots and let us sing Christmas carols, light Christmas trees, and wish each other Merry Christmas. Does it really offend people when a store puts up a religious icon in their shop like Santa? Seems like just about everything i do nowadays offends or hurts someone's feelings.

Eh?
a company has decided to offer a Candanian T shirt package so that american tourists abroad dont have to talk politics when traveling. the originator describing the idea....
“It’s not meant as a slight against the United States or Canada,” explained T-shirtKing.com President Bill Broadbent. “It was meant as something Republicans could give their Democrat friends to say ’C’est la vie.’ ... But maybe not c’est la vie because that’s a French word.”

Jericho's Big Night! And Vote for Daniel Puder!
So it turned out that on Monday night, Vince McMahon came out and declared that there would be no Battle Royal for the title. Instead the winner would go on to face HHH for the championship match. And he even threw some insults in the way of Steven Richards (who has not been doing well lately, especially after a really bad and boring loss to Tyson Tomko a few PPVs ago). Well Benoit and Edge would go on to replicate the whole Bret Hart/Lex Luger tie of the Royal Rumble back in '94, and go on to face HHH in a triple thread champion ship match at the end of the night. Steven Richards didnt do that badly for himself, making it towards the end of the Battle Royal match. Of course at the end, the triple threat was also a tie and there was no resolution to the whole thing.
Well, I dont have so much of a problem of McMahon not making it a Battle Royal for the championship. You knew it would probably come down to these three guys (Edge, Benoit and HHH) at the end anyway, so whether you get it at the end of the Battle Royal, or as a separate main event doesnt really matter. However, I am tired of all three of them. Who else thinks that even though Benoit can wrestle better than most anyone, he lacks the charisma for really interesting TV? And that Edge was a whole lot more fun to watch back in his goofy RECK days when he made fun of Kurt? And HHH has just had the title for too long?
Well the good news is this coming Monday, its finally time for Jericho to step up and be GM. He hasnt been in the main event picture in a while (a few years I think since he was the first undisputed champion) but if Maven can get himself a title shot and come close to winning, so can Jericho. And I think Jericho will make Monday's RAW a lot of fun. He's got the charisma, the sense of humor, and the wrestling to make a good run for the title.
And of course this week we saw Daniel Puder stay in the Tough Enough competition. They're advertising a shoot boxing match for the next PPV between the final 2 Tough Enough contestants, so head over to the Tough Enough website and vote for Daniel Puder again! If he can make it to the next round, I'm sure he will demolish whoever else is put in a shoot fight with him. And thats something I want to see.

A Christmas Card for Nerds
Major Nerd Alert here. Here's today's Fox Trot. I got a chuckle out of it. I don't know why these kind of things always make me laugh?
