My co-worker sent me a link to this news article, and it made me go Ewwwww!!!!!! So, of course, I had to share it with the world. The caption at the subject of the mail was simple, “Don’t Shake This Man’s Hand.”

The MSN news article headline says it all:

Japan: 780,000 porn site hits earn demotion

I think the best part of it, is that the guy still owes the government for the time he spent looking at the sites, while on the job (he was a government employee) in addition to the fine he has to pay.

My co-worker forwarded this to me today. It’s a WordPress blog called “Vista Sucks“.

If you read this post about What Laptop Steve Ballmer used for one of his recent Microsoft presentations, you will see something very peculiar about the hardware he has at the podium.

The day has finally arrived. Microsoft is now use Apple products in order to show case how to do things on a PC. I bet Steve Jobs is sitting in his office right now, thinking something like “And they said it would never happen.”

I saw this today in a side bar advertisement, and it gave me a warm fuzzy inside. I’m lexDystic…Dyslexic, and personally think that this is an awesome gag gift to brighten up anyone’s bitter holiday experience. A great gift on a lot of different levels.

So I check my e-mail and I get this mail titled “Chinese Food on Christmas.” It was from my friend Kelly and it sent me to a U-Tube video that had me laughing really hard. My wife and I eat Chinese food a lot; it’s almost a standing joke in our house. Just watch this and you’ll see how funny it can be to be different on Christmas.

My Friend Lynn sent me a link and said I had to read at least a few of the posts for this comic strip she found. The site is called Twenty Sided. I will admit that I played a little bit of Dungeons and Dragons in college (I was a single male with geek friends and it kept us out of trouble), and for that time of my life it was so much fun to play. The guy who writes this comic strip has played for years and has a lot of time as a DM. For those not familiar with the game, the Dungeon Master and writes scripts and campaigns for the game, and people spend weeks getting through the game the DM has created. This comic combines all the frustrations of being a DM, with all the random geek culture stuff that non D&D people will find funny to, and uses the Lord of the Rings as a back drop for it’s comedic wit.

My friend pointed out to me that the Lord of the Rings universe was one of the original realms that the first D&D players turned to model their worlds. It was a rich, enchanted, magical place, and they built their characters off of Tolken’s world. Well the game is a far cry from those days, so much so that going on an epic quest could be really boring. This comic walks through a modern scenario of what would happen if a DM tried to walk some guys through the Lord of the Rings story, as a campaign. I know it sound stupid, but I found myself laughing really hard a lot of the time.

Take a look. Start with the first one, and it just gets better after that.

I heard about this earlier this week at work and thought it was a hoax, but I found out its not.

For years human beings have been using things like dog whistles that will drive animals nuts but no so much with humans. We have finally figured out how to do this with humans too. But the application is a little scary. Imagine, teaching a class of jr. or sr. high school students, and telling them that if you hear their cell phone go off you will have to take it away. Well, kids today can now download ring tones to their phones that are ultrasonic in pitch, and are beyond the hearing range of a person who is approximately 30 years of age. So, those teachers who just got out of their credential program can still here it, but if you are in your 40’s forget it. Don’t believe me?

It will scare you. I can only hear the first three test tones they have, the others I can not hear. They even boost that you can “fool your teachers”. As if I needed any more help, no I have cell phone companies reminding me that I’m so old I’m loosing my hearing.

OK, Need your opinion on this one everyone out there in the blog sphear. I think it was funny, but still kind of creepy.

I heard this song for the first time this last October at the Northern California Ren Faire, and could not stop laughing. I found it on a website today while I was looking for some new songs. I thought I would share.

The Exuse Note

Dear Sir I write this note to inform you of my plight
And at the time of writing I am not a pretty sight
My body is all black and blue, my face a deathly gray
I write this note to tell why Paddy’s not at work today

While working on the fourteenth floor, some bricks I had to clear
And to throw them down from off the top seemed quite a good idea
But the gaffer wasn’t very pleased, he was an awful sod
He said I had to cart them down the ladder in me hod.

Well clearing all those bricks by hand, it seemed so very slow
So I hoisted up a barrel and secured the rope below
But in my haste to do the job, I was too blind to see
That a barrel full of building bricks is heavier than me.

So when I had untied the rope, the barrel fell like lead
And clinging tightly to the rope I started up instead
I took off like a rocket and to my dismay I found
That half way up I met the bloody barrel coming down.

Well the barrel broke my shoulder as on to the ground it sped
And when I reached the top I banged the pulley with me head
I held on tight, though numb with shock from this almighty blow
And the barrel spilled out half its load fourteen floors below

Now when those building bricks fell from the barrel to the floor
I then outweighed the barrel so I started down once more
I held on tightly to the rope as I flew to the ground
And I landed on those building bricks that were scattered all
around.

Now as I lay there on the deck I thought I’d passed the worst
But when the barrel reached the top, that’s when the bottom burst
A shower of bricks came down on me, I knew I had no hope
In all of this confusion, I let go the bloody rope.

The barrel being heavier, it started down once more
And landed right on top of me as I lay on the floor
It broke three ribs and my left arm, and I can only say
That I hope you’ll understand why Paddy’s not at work today.
