Hours of fun?
Yes, the "funny" mirror does look like fun. And yet, we can't help but wonder at this young child's almost mortified expression upon seeing his own distorted reflection.

Who will win?
Rocketpack.org's got another "who will win" game online. I'm quite fond of these, but that may be because I always do so well. (ahem, genius, ahem.)

Cookie Monster: Dead
An irate father attacked and beat a 21 year old girl who was in a Cookie Monster costume because she wouldn't have her photo taken with his daughter. The father is said to have shoved the surprised Sesame Street character "to the ground, then kicked her in the head and back". Cookie Monster is suffering from "bruised ribs and a cervical sprain" (ouch).
Random Quote: It is an honor to be Cookie Monster

Defecation causes stroke
Here's a bit of bad news: it seems your early morning poop could kill you.

Annoying
Why is it that with high-quality pretty games like Unreal and SimCity, people still spend so much time playing solitare and tetris? I think the reason is that the idea of the computer winning a simple game against us tends to bothers us mighty humans with our large gooey brains.

Example: this new game Kick-ups. The idea is to not let the ball hit the ground be clicking it with the mouse in mid-air. Sure, it's a fun little novel little web-based game that should keep me occupied for a few minutes on my morning break, and yet IT HAS HELD ME CAPTIVE WITH IT'S SLOWLY BOUNCING BALL FOR THE LAST 2 HOURS.

Alright, so it's possible that it is just an excuse for me not to do any real work, yet I feel if I could put the amount of determination into real physical sport as I am with this mildly addictive computer game, I would be a fit, fit man.

I got a score of 25. Beat that.

After watching this video, you have to wonder how this article can be true.

So pretty, I want to touch it
I think this website looks superb. Danielle's my new hero. (Although I say that every time she redesigns her site.)

For those interested, this is my old hero.

Tits: is there anything they can't do?
How do you invigerate the dairy industry? Why, mix it with the booby industry, of course! Make sure your next cheese burger is a Booby-Cheese burger.

Homer's in the dictionary
Remember that Simpsons episode where Homer is thinking of words like "Lucky" and "Fraud" in the dictionary, and then imagining his face next to the definitions? It turns out he got his wish. The word "Doh" just became part of the English language. Woohoo! (Note: the word "woohoo" has yet to be recognized as part of the English language).

Canada to "Survivor": Gimmi some o' dat
Canada wants the next Survivor to be held here in Canada. Now I love it here, of course, however it's hardly the tropical climate that is conducive to bikini wearing. Plus, claims that contestents could bungee jump off the CN tower seem to be missing the point of being stranded in a remote region. How about letting some other country get the honour of hosting the game, and letting Canadians play too? After all, we're all buddies.. right?
