“Come Back With a Warrant doormat”
Nice. We used to have an “unwelcome” mat (it said “GO AWAY”), but it wore out. This would be a good replacement.

Various amusing or interesting topics, or things that shock and appall me. Kind of a miscellaneous bin.
“How to tell if you are being boring”
Unfortunately, the people who need this the most will probably never think to look at it. (I sometimes have really fascinating dreams, the kind that I wake up and think, “hey, that would make a perfect science fiction story.” Until I review them several hours later, and almost always realize that there’s nothing even vaguely …
“Redkneck Vampire Attacks Trailer Park”
Don’t mourn for the Weekly World News. It turns out that Google has preserved its corpse so that our children and grandchildren can know just how stupid incredibly intelligent we all were around the turn of the century. Thanks a million, Google, I don’t know what we would have done without you.
“Fact-Checkers and Certified Public Logicians”
This sounds like a really good idea. Anybody want to start a new business, fact-checking things for serious bloggers? (FYI, I would not be a customer. I’m cheap, I’m not terribly serious, and I fancy that I can check my own facts, especially as this blog has so few of them. 😉 )
“Software fraudster ‘fooled CIA’ into terror alert”
Haven’t they ever heard the old saying, “beware of geeks attempting grift”?
Grrr!
I. Hate. Snow. It snowed here all yesterday and all last night, on top of a huge dump from the day before. By this morning, we had to break down and dig ourselves out, or we’d’ve been stuck until the Spring thaw. Left to my own devices, I’d just hibernate, but for some reason GoddessJ …
“Angels can’t fly: Official”
And neither can fairies, according to this fellow. What a bummer. Tinkerbell and Archangel Michael will be so disappointed when I tell them about his research. 😉
“Top futurist, Ray Kurzweil, predicts how technology will change humanity by 2020”
To ring in the new year, here’s some predictions on technology for the next decade. A lot of them sound a little optimistic, to say the least — but this guy’s got the credentials to back them up if anyone does.
“How long could you survive inside a Tauntaun?”
An excellent question to end the decade on… albeit one that only us geeks would think to ask.
“Why I’d rather be punched in the testicles than call customer service”
WARNING: If this doesn’t make you laugh out loud, no matter where you are or what time it is, then you’ve never tried to deal with a customer service line.
