Lee's Summit West High School hates the Boy Scouts. More specifically, it hates the fact that the Boy Scouts teach the Pioneering merit badge where one can learn to make various knots such as the noose. It feels that anyone who discusses the noose is clearly a racist and, like aspiring Eagle Scout Travis Grigsby, should be suspended from school.
Fran Lyon is a soon to be mother from the UK. Only she doesn't live there now. Because she was depressed earlier in life, UK child services have told her that minutes after the baby is born, they will take it away from her because she will surely try to poison it. Needless to say, she has fled the UK and will have her baby some place less infringing on human rights.
In an attempt to promote interfaith cooperation, the Austin Area Interreligious Ministries was created. This year its service was supposed to include Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Bahais and others to worship together. Unfortunately, Hyde Park Baptist church, who was supposed to host it, has changed their mind because they didn't know that it would included non-Christians. They were fully aware that Jews, Hindus and Bahais were going to come but when they found out that non-Christian Muslims were also invited, they decided against hosting the service.
The Japanese are experimenting with roads that are "tuned" with grooves so that the frequency of your tires on the road will play music. In order to hear the music properly, you have to drive 28 MPH. Pretty cool.
Check out the preview of the hottest new porn site on the Internet. All images taken from the right-wing Fox News channel (including the king of porn, Falafel-boy Bill O'Reilly).
Like how I added the question mark at the end to make it a question instead of a sentance? The girl in the picture is Megan Meier, a 13 year old girl who committed suicide when her online friend, Josh, called her a bitch and didn't want to be friends with her. It turns out that Josh was actually the imaginary online character played by Lori Drew, the mother of Megan's former friend. For some reason, police can't figure out if a crime was committed so Lori is free to enjoy life while Megan's family mourns her. I got links gallore on this.
Redacted is a new movie coming out that shows how some soldiers in Iraq are corrupt and evil. I dislike the idea of this movie as much as I disliked Valley of the Wolves when it came out 2 years ago. Of course, Falafel-King Bill O'Reilly has jumped on the bandwagon as well and decided to take advantage of the situation by adding his two cents.
First watch this video.
"Citizens must take a stand here. Mark Cuban has a right to make this piece of garbage. We have a right to criticize him and ANYONE who supports the project"
Now watch this video. It's an ad for Redacted. Keep watching to the end to see which show it appears on. So, in the words of Bill, if you are truly a patriot, you should boycott the O'Reilly Factor and Faux Fox News.
After a 3 year investigation, a doctor was found to have shared needles with Hepatitis-C patients and 600 others as well. What's his name? Claudia Hutton, a state health department spokeswoman, said the department won't tell. Where does he work? Claudia Hutton, a state health department spokeswoman, said the department won't tell. What health carrier does this involve? Claudia Hutton, a state health department spokeswoman, said the department won't tell.
The Secretaries of State of ALL 50 states are being subpoenad in a lawsuit which claims that electronic voting violates the Constitution. As a computer scientist, I say, "About fucking time."
This is Kevin Colvin, a (former?) intern at Anglo Irish Bank. He called out of work because of an emergency but a visit to his Facebook page revealed that the "emergency" was actually him cross-dressing for a Halloween Party. Not the way you want the internet to hear about you...
Does this photo freak you out? I think according to the website I got it from, it is because of the colors...not because of the freaky clown. Check out the page for some other freaky pictures (like the tongue pic).
About two or three weeks ago I mistakenly attempted to mass-delete spam comments and as a result, I totally screwed up the website's photo album. The bad news is that I had to sacrifice all the comments that EVERYONE has posted. The good news is, I didn't have to completely start from scratch. So once again, all the photos are back up and ready to be viewed.
Her Michigan colleague on the House subcommittee on water resources and environment, Grand Rapids Republican Vern Ehlers, predicted what might happen if anyone attempted a water grab.
"I would suspect we'd call up the militia and take up arms"
So on Friday, I got into a discussion with Sierra's Dad about why common sense isn't always correct. For one thing, Intelligent Design people use it when describing the problems with evolution and their support for spontaneous generation. The example I cited was the Let's Make a Deal Paradox. Basically it boils down to if you choose a door, after Monty opens one, you should always choose the other door. Why? Because it is 66% likely to have the new car (instead of the 50/50 chances everything thinks it should have).
Don't believe me? Check out this little applet. There is a great long explanation that goes into FAR more detail than I do. I played it 20 times always switching my choice. I won 14 of 20 games. Think to program is loaded? Go fuck yourself.
Can Super Mario Bros. get any geekier? You bet. This is the SMB theme song being played on 7 foot Tesla coils. There are no moving parts or magnets(like a speaker). The sound is actually based on the frequency of the electricity arcing in the air.
I haven't seen them all but quite of few of these sappy moments are right on the money. Some of these scenes are actually used by Immigration to determine if a person is an American or not.
