    Greenbeans causing big sparks in the microwave WTF!

    Ok, so I was nuking some greenbeans on a plate to eat for lunch. I put them in for only about 20 seconds when I started noticing big sparks coming off of them with a loud *bzzzt* sound. Obviously I stopped the microwave. I thought maybe there was a piece of metal in one of the beans so I...

    Why is it that everytime I read an article on an animal headed for extinction...

    It's because Asian people think eating parts of the animal will make them better in bed. Hello, Viagra? Welcome to the 20th Century. What's harder to find, a pill churned out by the millions or a horn on a rhino that there is only 50 of left in the world. Who in their right mind eats a...

    Saw something crazy on the road this morning

    It was a mid 80's ford LTD or some old boat like that. Somehow a big blue tarp had gotten hung up on the rear suspension somewhere and it was dragging behind the car that was doing 45 mph down a major 4 lane road. The funny part is that there was some kind of blue metal cart setting on top of...

    Chicken Tax, WTF!

    I got my assessment form from the county, and there is a box on there for how much poultry you own. I can sorta understand cows, boats, cars because some of them can be high dollar, but chickens? Is there anything they don't tax?

    I think I used to have a Porpoise

    Does anybody else think they hear Trent sing "I think I used to have a porpoise" in the song "Everyday is Exactly the Same". They have been playing the song on the radio a lot here and I really like it, but I swear he says porpoise. I'm sure the lyrics are "purpose" but everytime I hear porpoise.

    Name of Indian sounding music on CBS news

    CBS morning news has been doing a segment on the Indian economy and outsourcing every morning this week. The intro has a cool sounding instrumental, anybody else heard it or have an idea who it is. I'm assuming CBS would steal music before making there own just for a news segment.

    Is there anyway to stop fax spam? *rant*

    My work fax gets at least 5 junk faxes per day minimum. It is so frustrating. It's worse than email spam, because it uses up your toner and paper to print their ads. If you call the number on the fax all you get is more fax spam because they know somebody is reading the faxes. I can't change...
