Not part of a rant, just looking up info on why New Orleans was known as “The City That Care Forgot“.

Time for the Luddites among us to give it up. Now officially the greatest technological advance in the last decade. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Beer Pouring Robot…

The Los Angeles government has sued Rockstar Games (the makers of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) for having hidden pornographic content within the game.

For those who have never seen Grand Theft Auto, it contains all forms of murder, crime, and deviant behavior for the player to engage in within the game. It is however only the T&A that warrants attention. Much like TV.

To sum up: Showing specific pieces of human anatomy in a video game – Bad. Showing someone using a chainsaw to cut human anatomy into little chunks to facilitate their insertion into a wood chipper – No Problem.

Nice little bit of software to mess with the head of the RB who stole your Mac…

Some very funny films at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.

As we can see from the Hamas defeat of the (corrupt?) Fatah party in free democratic elections, democracy by itself does not make peace.

Ok that aside, How does Hamas plan to feed their people. It seems their primary goals are to reject everyone who gave them aid, destroy Israel, and fire a good bit of ammunition into the air. I hope their exuberance subsides and they start thinking about running the government…

I still think Chavez is well on his way to becoming a paranoid dictator. That being said, this bit of news, leaves me with a question. Venezuela has a navy?

Of course they are probably working off a question tree, and are not in this country, but there ya go…

Ok, so it’s not really PhotoShop (sorry Adobe), but it’s a pretty cool set of picture toys. Visit Flickr Toys to diddle your pics…

I never realized this, but those pics are creapy.

Ok, now the news media might not be able to scare citizens with the bird flu much longer.

Bad news if you smoke and live in the state of California, as the California Air Resources Board fingers second hand smoke as toxic. I wonder how they feel about second hand marijuana smoke…

If I didn’t think Nagin’s 15 minutes were almost over I would buy some of this stuff.

Heck I might buy some anyway…

I wonder if they will sue themselves and settle out of court for their Evil Actions?

For all those Family Guy fans out there Stewie gets his own talk show

Another one for Mel. Scientists find smallest fish.

This dumbass has got to go! It almost makes you wish that the terrorists would blow up something big in the US to get him the heck out of the way.
