The Most Disturbing Church Choir Ever
Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself? Apparently not.
Since my ticket to hell has long since been punched, I predictably laughed my ass off at this.
A New Mersenne Prime…..YaY!!!
I will be the first to admit that I am into some pretty nerdy shit. I still like video games and I like to read about astronomy and the stars and the planets and supernovas and the like. So, I understand the thrill from new discoveries in different scientific fields.
But, there are some things that I just don’t get. The other day, I opened up Yahoo!’s home page and right there smacking me in the face was the grossly unfascinating tidbit of news that a new Mersenne Prime number had been discovered, the 47th one. This astronomically large number is some 12 million digits long. To put that in perspective, if you were to write the number out on paper, you would need 4300 pages to write it all out. That’s like four encyclopedia (remember those) volumes – all just to write out this single number.
Sarah Palin: A Satirist’s Dream
I am only writing this for the attention.
You see, I’ve developed a little bit of an obsession with watching my Alexa rank grow on both of my sites. It’s cool to see genuine progress and to know that readership is growing – which is solely the result of creating good content. As of this writing, the Alexa rank for this site sits at 683,074 and number 88,000 in the United States, and TheSportsDick.com just cracked the top 1 million. Not that this in and of itself is overly impressive – it isn’t. But, it’s a lot better than the rank of 2.5 million I had just a couple of months ago. Plus, as bloggers go, it’s sort of how we keep score. So, in an effort to further boost my score and ego I’ve decided to try to piss off Sarah Palin.
Leave Kelly Alone!!!!!!
Enough already.
First, I’d like to congratulate all of these writers who hide behind their blogs and their message boards who have nothing better to do than self-righteously point out the faults of the celebrities they’ve helped to build up. I applaud your shrewdness and your extensive observational skills that allow you to provide expert commentary and criticism on such important issues as Lindsay Lohan’s craziness, or Kelly Clarkson weight issues, or Paris Hilton doing everything that she does on a daily basis – ok maybe the last one is alright since we sort of need that. But other than covering the everyday moves of the soulless and talentless androids that inhabit Hollywood and reporting on them relentlessly, what is so alluring about the lives of people whose occupations makes them famous? Why is this even an industry?
Internet (noun); Definition – Pervert Magnet
In perusing the “Gigs” section of my local Craigslist I ran across this:
bisexual live in nanny wanted
free rent in return for someone that can watch our child 3-4 days a week. (9-5) want someone we can be great friends with and great benefits and if we mesh maybe something more substantial and something with more long term plans but we will cross that bridge when we get there, send pics to get pics.
A Paradigm Shift in Pop Culture?
Why is this Susan Boyle person all over my internet?
When I say ‘my internet’, what I mean is that I am in the United States. Not Great Britain. The show on which she is a contestant is called “Britain’s Got Talent”. We already have “America’s Got Talent”, and it’s a pretty good show. Do they have the finalists from AGT On British television and all over England’s internet? Somehow I doubt it.
And it isn’t just the internet. I saw a spot about her on a promo for Access Hollywood or something like that. Enough is enough. She’s just a contestant on a TV show in a country on another continent. Why is she getting all of this coverage around here?
What if Beauty Didn’t Matter?
What if women in society were all considered universally and equally beautiful. To clarify – imagine that what is attractive to one man is exactly the same to another. Not that all women look exactly the same – however theoretically the same debate would apply.
How would it affect the rules of attraction? How about the rules of courtship and dating? What would happen to the shallow empty headed eye-candy who’s only qualities are aesthetic? Would they sink to the bottom of the female food chain?
Proof that the Internet Has Magnified Human Idiocy
If this does not exemplify human stupidity at it’s worst, I honestly don’t know what would.
Essay on Turning Thirty
Two months ago I turned 30. I began an essay on the topic of turning 30 at the time but never finished it. I mentioned this to Erin over at thirtysomethingblog.com and she encouraged me to finish it so she could publish it on her site.
Never one to turn down free attention, I naturally obliged and finished what I’d started. The post went live today, check it out here. I think it turned out pretty good – let me know what you think.
This Ad From AIG is Quite Disturbing
Honestly, can anyone tell me what this ad from AIG is supposed to mean?
