The most valuable supply of worthlessness on the web
Information you have no need for. Ever. Usually about me, but possibly about other trivial crap in the world.
From the Bash.org site I recently linked to:
User1: what should I give sister for unzipping?
User2: Um. Ten bucks?
User1: no I mean like, WinZip?
Please, someone else tell me they find that as funny as I do.

Working through my huge backlog of “Stuff I want to post but usually don’t want to spend time writing up” I found this awesome picture. I have no recollection of where I got the picture. I don’t remember what story went with the picture. But in an attempt to clear at least one item from my backlog, here is a warning against disposal of radioactive animals at one location:

Have I posted this grainy video before? I can’t recall (and don’t see it on a quick site search), but I laugh everytime I see it, so posted before or not it goes up now.

A co-worker sent me a link to what he deemed a “Great Rant” and I went ahead and read it. It’s a great rant in the same manner that Howard Dean’s opposition to President Bush was “Great Leadership and Politicing” I think. The poster of the supposedly great rant is angry, and feels that anger and spewing is equivalent to offering anything worth reading or listening to. Complaining vehemently about the Democrats plans for preventing the Iraqi was surge plan, the writer vomits:
You Democrats, with far too few exceptions, are a disgrace to the sacrifices made by our forefathers, and you have no business referring to yourselves as Americans. Since when is it the Congress’s mandate to run foreign policy, anyway?
If I’m getting my dates right, I believe the US Constitution was penned in 1789. And in the Constitution, we can find that “The Congress shall have Power…
Most games these days are hard to lose. Sometimes, though, you can find the simplest games are also some of the hardest. Don’t believe me? Check out all the ways to lose.
You have to be careful of the language, though. You’ll get prompted several times to install Japanese language packs if you don’t have them installed and don’t have language pack prompting turned off. If you don’t install the packs, your game will look a little different than what is in the above video.

 No, no – not the 80s mall-tour singer.
 Ah, yes, there we go. Charles Tiffany. Founder of the high-society department store that bears his name still today.
February 15 marks the birthday of Charles Lewis Tiffany, the man who gave the world some of its most preeminent symbols of wealth and status. Born in Killingly, Connecticut, in 1812, Tiffany headed to New York in 1837, where he and partner John B. Young opened a stationery and fancy goods shop. However, political upheaval in Europe in 1848 caused the prices of precious stones to plummet, giving Tiffany a perfect, and profitable, opening into the jewelry business. He snapped up a passel of suddenly cheap diamonds, including a few of the French Crown Jewels, which he later sold for a tidy sum, prompting the press to dub Tiffany “The King of Diamonds.” Around the same time, Tiffany set about manufacturing gold jewelry. He moved rapidly to expand his business, acquiring John C. MooreÃÂs leading silver operations in 1851. Two years later, Tiffany assumed complete control of the company and re-christened it “Tiffany & Co.” During the ensuing years, he opened Tiffany branches around the world and produced special items for luminaries like First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln. By the time Tiffany died in 1902, his company and its products were firmly entrenched as enduring vestiges of high culture.
Wow. So there you have it. Get into the diamond business by catching a break on depressed gemstone prices during political upheaval.

In what is sure to be viewed as an amazing coincidence by many of the less bright people in the world, we recognize today the St. Valentine’s day massacre of 1929, which oddly enough happened on St. Valentine’s day.
In Chicago, gunmen in the suspected employment of organized-crime boss Al Capone murder seven members of the George “Bugs” Moran North Siders gang in a garage on North Clark Street. The so-called St. Valentine’s Day Massacre stirred a media storm centered on Capone and his illegal Prohibition-era activities and motivated federal authorities to redouble their efforts to find evidence incriminating enough to take him off the streets.

Found this in the signature line of someone in a forum I frequent. You are given two options. Simply click the winner of a battle between the two. And no, the choices don’t have to make sense. Some of the choices are tough to make, so choose wisely.
