Ken, you need to pause for a second or two there...

Gumwrapper Guy, Meet AOL CD Collecting Guy

47 cubic feet... Rockelle will never complain about my comics boxes again.

Anyone who is surprised that he was able to get the domain "gumwrapper.com"? No. I didn't think so.

How Much Is Inside An Inkjet Cartridge

I love Cockeyed for their frequent attempts to figure out just how much is inside something. Their most recent attempt is to find out how much is inside those ungodly expensive inkjet printer cartridges... by printing lots and lots of porn. Isn't that how they do it at PC Magazine?

P.S. Lots of other fun stuff in their archives as well.

Thanksgiving Misconceptions

Thanksgiving is coming up here in America and I thought I'd clear up a misconception some people seem to be having with respect to it.

If you are having some sticks and twigs nightmare with your Thanksgiving repast that you "call" cranberry sauce then you are very very misguided. Here's a simple test you can take. Does your cranberry sauce:

a) Have real pieces of cranberry in it? (1 point)
b) Even skins? (1 point)
c) Have orange peel? (1 point)
d) Have walnuts? (1 point)
e) Have a translucent color and resemble the exact shape of the can it came in, right down to the ridges on the interior of the container? (40,000 points)

If you scored 40,000 points exactly then you are having real cranberry sauce for Thanskgiving this year.

Email of the Week

Here is the email of the week, or perhaps of the month:

From totoro_orotot@hotmail.com


>www.lol.com
>Are you planning on doing anything with this Domain ??
>Or are you one of those domain selling retarded scum?

>Thanks


Wow, I know that I'm instantly won over to selling this domain or simply giving it outright to the genius sender of that email. Originally Don had hoped that I would come up with some incredibly clever rejoinder to the author but I'm feeling taxed at the moment. Perhaps everyone who reads this can help me out.

For those of you who might be curious (but considerably less rude), ZWave, LLC, of which I'm one of the owners, does in fact own LOL.com. We've never used it for anything but it was purchased some years back at the same time as lolchat.com. That domain went with the LOLChat software and it was as active as the software until about a year and a half ago when the amount of revenue from it had slowed to a crawl. LOL.com has never been used for anything though we have at various times talked about using it for a humor site or for a site with games, chat, and personals (kind of like The Globe, but without the gross waste of millions of dollars). Nothing has come to pass yet but sooner or later we will build something on it or sell it to somebody with a sheaf full of cash (the former being much more likely).

Ugh...

I'm not feeling particularly great today so my sole contribution is a link to English As She Is Spoke.

Amusingly Bizarre Stuff

Amusingly bizarre stuff from around the web:


  • Stick Figure Kung Fu - Tolerate the slow startup while it loads because the Flash animation itself can make your eyes bug out. It's like watching a stick figure Bruce Lee at work.

  • Hyakugojyuuichi - An "innovative" animation set to a song from the Japanese version of Pokemon. Note: Has a few mildly offensive images but the result is pretty much hilarious.
