| Mt. Saint Helens WILL Erupt! |
| 09.30.04 (10:59 am) [edit] |
Remember when I wrote a blog earlier this week, explaining that Mount Saint Helens might erupt? Remember that no one made any comments about it? Not even an erupting volcano is enough to get you guys salavating, but it's the mother of all American volcanos that' could possibly erupt! That's big news, people...
...and the bigger news is that it will most definitely erupt within the next few days!
Anyway, when you're all talking about it at your stupid water coolers on Monday morning, telling each other how cool it looked to see ash being strewn several miles across the sky, remember the Doc.
[url=http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/vol...]The Volcano Cam[/url] gives you an in-depth look at the mountain, and hopefully will give us all a front row view of the eruption. Be patient - it doesn't update all the time but do not fret - the shots are pretty sweet.

| Maytag's NFL (National Fridge League) |
| 09.29.04 (5:12 pm) [edit] |
With football season in full swing, I hope to bring you all many more blogs that fuse Beer, Robots, Football, and Gadgets into one cohesive blog site.
[url=http://www.ka-thunk.com/index...]The SkyBox Rookie Fridge[/url] is a compact refrigerator with cool new features that set it apart from any other fridge you can find. You can customize the front with logos from your favorite sports teams.
First things first - take out that shitty generic soda and put in a 30-pack of Coor's Light, the NFL's official beer. Next, take that shitty Patriots logo off the front and slap a New York Jets logo in its place. Done.

| Bush Hometown For Kerry |
| 09.29.04 (3:24 pm) [edit] |
The newspaper in President Bush's adopted hometown of Crawford threw its support behind Bush's Democratic rival, Sen. John Kerry.
The weekly [url=http://www.iconoclast-texas.c...]Lone Star Iconoclast[/url] criticized Bush's handling of the war in Iraq and for turning budget surpluses into record deficits. The editorial also criticized Bush's proposals on Social Security and Medicare.
[b]BONUS BIPARTISAN LINK OF THE DAY[/b]
Here is an absurd website showing Senator Kerry's ability to lose the football fans' votes. [url=http://www.footballfansfortru...]Football Fans For Truth[/url] has some funny photos of Kerry playing catch football.
I can only hope that this site is a joke. Something tells me it's not...

| 09.28.04 (9:56 am) [edit] |
They are named Animaris Rhinoceros Transports and are made out of a steel skeleton and polyester skin. They actually move by wind power. The Animaris’ weigh about 2 tons each and can carry passengers, though the living quarters will be added in since travel can only be accomplished during strong winds.
Just by looking at the photo, I believe this will spawn a new wave of evolved Piracy... Instead of sailing the 7 Seas, the Techno-Pirates of Tomorrow will reek havoc on the beach dwellers of the future.

| Mt. Saint Helens, Round Two! |
| 09.28.04 (4:59 am) [edit] |
A series of unusual earthquakes near Mount St. Helens in recent days has scientists warning that something more serious could be imminent.
In the fall, quakes in the area are common as rainwater seeps into the ground and turns into steam when it reaches the lava below ground. With no outlet, the steam can build up until a small explosion occurs, involving molten rock and deadly gas.
"We're still thinking it's not likely to be anything real big," said Tom Pierson, a USGS research scientist at the Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver. Yet scientists cannot rule out the possibility of a more serious eruption, he said. An aircraft will soon fly over the lava dome to test for the presence of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, signs that magma might be building up.

| Those Crazies Mormons! |
| 09.27.04 (11:38 am) [edit] |
The city's airport board recently proposed a change in the part of the aviation code that said small aircraft must maintain an altitude of more than 2,000 feet while flying over Salt Lake City. For years, Santa Claus and his reindeer were granted an exception - but no more.
"We were updating the ordinance and this provision had not been looked at for a number of years," Campbell, executive director of the department of airports. "Members of the panel felt it was just not appropriate," said Campbell, who voted to retain the Santa exemption.
The fact that this is a serious issue makes me wanna kill all of the mormons (cuz you know it's those fundamentalist bastards that are causing this outrage).

This picture should speak for itself...
Well, let me add the following:
The rat slithers through the cracks and holes until it finds the injured human burried under hundreds of pounds of debris. We then know where the human is located! But by the time we dig through the debris, it's too late. The rat gnawed off the helpless man's face because the scent of blood attracted the hungry rat in the first place.

| Ringtone Increases Breast Size |
| 09.24.04 (6:19 am) [edit] |
Hideto Tomabechi claims to have developed a tune for ring tones that promises to increase the breast measurements of those who listen to it.
This is the same guy that made headlines in Japan almost a decade ago after he cured brainwashed members of the AUM Shinrikyo doomsday cult that unleashed deadly sarin gas on the Tokyo subway system (that's a whole other blog).
"It's a part of cognitive science. I suppose you could call it a kind of 'positive brainwashing,'" he says.
"I use sounds that make the brain and body move unconsciously. It's a technique involving subliminal effects."
It's an old adage that many illnesses are all in the mind. Tomabechi says he's already got plans on the drawing board for ring tones aimed at improving memory, increasing attractiveness for the opposite sex, making hair sprout and quitting cigarettes.

| AWOL (Alcohol WithOut Liquid) |
| 09.23.04 (9:26 am) [edit] |
The new method is known as [url=http://www.awolusa.com/page-2...]AWOL[/url] , an acronym for “Alcohol With Out Liquid”, and is a hit in the global club scene due to the euphoric “high” created when alcohol is vaporized, mixed with oxygen and inhaled.
The user chooses which alcoholic spirit will be used which is then loaded into a diffuser capsule in the machine. The oxygen bubbles are then passed through the capsule, absorbing the alcohol, before being inhaled through a tube. The resultant cloudy alcohol vapor is then inhaled from the end of the tube via a device that converts liquid to vapor.
This will never take off... the activity of "drinking" is the fun part and getting drunk is the payoff. No one is gonna want to sit alone for 20 minutes sucking in vaporized alcohol and then try and go talk to chicks...
what a dumb contraption.
You can buy one for $2500 or go to the one bar in the world that serves this shit - [url=http://www.ilbordello.co.uk/]Bordello[/url] , which is located in the UK.

| BMW H2R - Hydrogen Powered Car |
| 09.23.04 (8:28 am) [edit] |
BMW's Clean Energy program produced a formidable winner this weekend. The [url=http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi...]BMW H2R[/url] set nine international speed records for internal combustion powered vehicles using hydrogen as a fuel at the Miramas high-speed Proving Grounds in France. BMW has thus proven its conviction that hydrogen is able to replace conventional fuel without any compromises in terms of performance and emissions.
The H2R Record Car, using a version of BMW's proven 12-cylinder 6-liter power plant, currently available in the 760i and 760Li Sedans, develops 232-horsepower using liquid hydrogen fuel. This translates into a 0 - 60 mph acceleration in under 6 seconds and a top speed of 174 mph.
Not that you need something this quick, but it's good for the hydrogen fuel cell' reputation - not all fuel cell cars are dorky and weak.

A French urban climber who calls himself "Spider-Man" scaled a 59-story Paris office building today with his bare hands and without using any ropes.
Alain Robert took less than 45 minutes to climb the nearly 700-foot-tall Montparnasse Tower building, gripping the metal girders on his way up.
Pretty impressive!

| Bad Breath Alert! |
| 09.21.04 (1:22 pm) [edit] |
A German telecommunications company says it is developing the first mobile phone that will alert users when their breath is bad or if they are giving off offensive smells.
The phone will use a tiny chip measuring less than one millimetre to detect unpleasant odours, a spokeswoman for Siemens Mobile said on Tuesday. A research team in the southern city of Munich is developing the device using new sensor technology.
Well, leave it to the Germans. All of those shizer-eating pervs from Munich are gonna love this contraption! This photo is all I could find to humorously show bad breath.

| Oktoberfest |
| 09.20.04 (11:01 am) [edit] |
International squads of beer drinkers, leather-clad Bavarians and shizer-eating Germans converged in Munich on Saturday for the start of the planet's biggest beer festival, the Oktoberfest.
Over the next two weeks, beer drinkers are expected to guzzle more than six million liters of beer - enough to fill around six Olympic size swimming pools - and chomp through vast quantities of food during the world-famous orgy of consumption.
Yeah...totally normal festival...FOR GERMANS!
Actually, the festival is pretty kickass - getting drunk and sampling amazing beers from around the world... I just think the whole bavarian costumes and weird German mustaches are a bit....much.

Finally Bose and iPod together at last!
Meet the [url=http://www.geekzone.co.nz/con...]Bose SoundDock[/url] is an all-in-one docking station, which means, no use for extra wires, cables, or adapters. Also, it comes with a remote if you feel like switching tunes on the couch. As always, it charges the iPod when docked.
It's $299...a little much for my budget but I'm actually thinking about selling my kidney's to get one of these.

The photo above indicates that it's the perfect gift to surprise your wife with - instead of the standard old "breakfast in bed" routine, go the with "hey, there's a butchered horse's head in bed with you!" gimmick.
It's huge, it's gross, and it's the perfect sleeping companion.

The Bavarian Beer Foamer works like a cappuccino foam maker. Using the foam maker will make the beer look like a freshly poured draught. Although it might loose taste as the beer gets stale with repeated foam making.
Obviously, this device only makes it look like your beer is fresh...good for dive bar owners, bad for us alcoholics. We'll be getting served 6-month old beer...

| Emotionally Scar Your Baby For Life! |
| 09.17.04 (10:58 am) [edit] |
Just kidding...instead, it's the scariest photo of the month mixed in with a really great technological advancement in baby care.
Researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center are testing a high-tech pacifier that could help premature babies learn to eat.
The Actifier analyzes how a child sucks on the pacifier and prompts the baby to do so correctly. The inventors of the device — University of Kansas professor Steven Barlow and University of Colorado professor Donald Finan — hope it will help speed up premature babies' release from the hospital.
That's great and all, but damn, son! That photo is just not right! The Doc will not sleep well tonight... and that's a guarantee.

| A Camera For Your Dog |
| 09.17.04 (4:36 am) [edit] |
The Japanese company TOMY introduced their new Wonderful Shot 3.5 megapixel digital camera for dogs, which they’re supposed to wear around their neck. There’s a remote control for triggering the shutter.
And if that photo doesn't really help you understand how this device truly works, I've added another photo for you with written instructions.
You know what's funny about this? I really do love Japan and all of their wacky gadgets. And if this was created in the US, I'd scoff and tell you all how much I think this is a waste of money...but b/c it's Japanese, I think it's the best innovatin ever.

| THX - 1138 |
| 09.16.04 (6:16 am) [edit] |
Just in case not everyone has heard about this one, I thought I'd post a blurb on it...
It's George Lucas' first film, [url=http://imdb.com/title/tt00664...]THX-1138[/url] , and supposedly very good. It's been updated (with newer effects and images) but supposedly holds true to the original film that was launched in 1971. So now it's back, in DVD form. Here is [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/ob...]Amazon's blurb[/url] about it where you're able to purchase:
[i]George Lucas's enigmatic feature film debut expands on a student film he made at USC. Created under the wing of producer Francis Ford Coppola, this movie is a bleak vision of a world in which technology, not man, is the ultimate dictator. Efficiency overrides every other aspect of human life, as people are reduced to code names and their lives are contained, monitored, and manipulated for the sake of the system.[/i]
If you haven't picked up on the title yet, it's where we get the name, THX, Lucas' sound-production company for almost all digitally produced music and effects you hear in films these days.

| 09.16.04 (5:57 am) [edit] |
Are you an alcoholic? Do you enjoy consuming booze at a very quick rate, equal to the days you enjoyed in college? Do you think you're the fastest shot-taker in town?
[url=http://www.boysstuff.co.uk/pr...]The Sprintz®[/url] is your chance to prove it. It features an electronic timer that tells you exactly to a hundredth of a second, how long it takes you to down your shot.
Fill your glass, and the instant you lift it, the timer starts. Knock back your shot as quickly as you can, the timer stops and displays your score when you replace your glass on the mat.
I tell ya what - if you can get a chick this hot to take shots as fast as you can (with you I might ad), then this could be a worthy investment...

You can search by gender or age, and then look at the photos of these beautiful (and eligible) bachelorettes. Beneath each photo is a little description of each of them describing what they enjoy and why you should date them....
Let's see, you're in the slammer - there's not much you can enjoy besides being able to shiv someone with a plastic fork. And you should definitely date them because they'll bring a smile to your face... right before they shiv you!

| German Nose Study |
| 09.15.04 (5:23 am) [edit] |
Large nostrils count more than a big nose when it come to smelling power, said German scientists after completing a three-year-long study aimed at treating smelling disorders.
"We found the bigger the nostril, the better the smelling power," said University of Cologne spokesman Christoph Uhlhaas.
It took German scientists 3 years to figure this out?!
The bigger the nostril, the more odor allowed to enter, means the better chance of obtaining/encoding smells.
Was that so hard? I figured it out while typing it...
That's three years wasted that we could've used to help cure cancer - or at least help Lance Armstrong pump more oxygen into his blood stream and win a few more bike races... it's called "doping." And more than 5 million people are wearing those stupid yellow bracelets supporting his habit.

The best part? He used the phrase, "Please believe me."
If you click on [b]How Does This Device Work[/b], you'll get a detailed and very technical answer - complete with diagram!
[i]By wearing the Eternal Life Device, you should immediately experience a very powerful energy flowing in your body. What is the reason? What I believe is that the small finger or the toes are the transistor of the entire body. Your body acts like a transistor. A transistor is a switch used in electronics. One gate, which induces a small amount of energy, opens or closes a larger flowing energy. So there is a way for us to use a little bit of energy to control a larger amount of energy.[/i]
Ah! Now it all makes perfect sense!
I highly suggest you glance through this site... but i wouldn't buy anything if I were you. Please believe me.

[url=http://laurabush.info/goonies...]Goonies II News[/url] tells us that for the past 13 years, it was primed and ready to become another film - straight to video or in theatres is speculative, but a film nonetheless.
Supposedly the entire original cast was eager to make the next adventure. And judging by this photo, it seemed to ring true. But as of now, the script sucked and the director got canned, so it looks unlikely.
However, we all know that Sean Astin is starting to get into directing so you never know!
We can only hope.

Pino starts life as a young, defenceless robot pup and needs careful nurturing if he's to grow and develop his many walking, singing, dancing, and game-playing skills.
Depending on the amount of tender loving care/mild disinterest/plastic-shatt ering violence you subject him to, Pino develops one of three personalities: shy, naughty, or friendly, which affects the way he responds to commands.
Pino has a head sensor, two hand sensors, a sound sensor, infra red visor and a nose-mounted light sensor.
For all of you Playa Haters of the Party Bot, this one seems a bit cooler...if only Pino could clean up your alcohol-induced vomit off of the bathroom floor, THEN we're business!

The blanket is equipped with a wireless transceiver, a PIC microprocessor, and a camera to detect bodies in that space and beam the data to the blanket which will then scuttle across to detected objects. Each part of the blanket's skeleton is fitted with a pressure sensor enabling it to respond to physical movement from the people it envelops.
Oh yeah...this isn't creepy at all...

| Voltron's Left Leg For Sale |
| 09.13.04 (10:35 am) [edit] |
The new CXT (short for [b]Commercial eXtreme Truck[/b]) is built from the same platform as the heavy-truck maker's typical cement mixer and will be sold by Navistar's International Truck & Engine subsidiary.
At 21.5 feet long, the CXT is about 4.5 feet longer than the new Hummer H2 pickup, and about 2 inches longer than the F-350 Crew Cab. But the way it really towers over what's on the road now is in height. At 9 feet, the CXT stands only a foot below a basketball rim and more than two feet above the Hummer or the F-350.
Yeah, this is exactly the direction our country needs to be headed...
[b]And just fyi for you not in the know-how:[/b]
SUVs like the Hummer get a tax break b/c of their weight (similar to the tax breaks that truckers get)... they save tons of cash in not paying for repairs on smaller roadways, that us normal car drivers pay for with those same taxes. There are over 8,000 miles of roadways in California alone that are illegal for these SUVs to drive on. However, they drive on them anyway - you see them on your neighborhood streets and in small towns.
So in conclusion, they're ruining the roads and don't have to pay for the repairs. Talk about injustice...

| NYPD: New York Pollen Department |
| 09.10.04 (5:24 am) [edit] |
Yes, the new NYPD is ready to rock the crime world by storm! Potentially...
Not only is pollen from each species of tree orplant unique, it was also readily identifiable, enabling investigators to tie people or vehicles to specific locations.
Retrieval techniques of pollen have improved to such an extent that it is not even necessary to have visible signs of pollen such as are contained in splashes of mud on clothing or vehicles.
"Pollen is everywhere, and most of it doesn't travel very far from its point of origin," said forensics expert Tony Brown at a UK conference.
Brown said police in the United States were starting to take pollen seriously, and in New Zealand it had already been used in the investigations of 140 crimes.
[b]Sound iffy?[/b]
Brown helped pin blame on the Bosnian Serbs for the 1995 murder of thousands of Muslim men at Srebrenica. In the cases of the Srebrenica massacre, when Bosnian Serbs dug up the bodies from the original mass graves and reburied them elsewhere to confuse investigators, Brown was able to prove where the original killings and burials had been.
They should call it a "pollenoscopy"....

I might have to change my blog to
[b]Weird and Perverted Things that Germans Do[/b]
Here's another one...not so perverted, but still worth mentioning, since the US would never be allowed to show this on prime time TV.
[b]Berlin[/b]
Live television footage of a young woman having her nipple pierced on German reality TV show Big Brother has outraged politicians and child protection agencies.
Contestant Daniela Peter, 23, was shown on morning television on Thursday lying topless on a table, her face contorted with pain.
It reminds of something nipplish, but I can't put my finger on it....

| Top Scientists Awarded |
| 09.09.04 (5:18 am) [edit] |
Muppets Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker defeated Dr. Strangelove, Dana Scully of "X Files" fame and Star Trek's Mr. Spock to be voted Britain's favorite screen scientists.
Spock came in a distance second with 15 percent followed by The Doctor, from Dr Who, who garnered 13 percent. Scully, the only woman in the poll, came in sixth.
"They are accessible, humorous and occasionally blow each other up," said Roland Jackson, of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.
For all of you NOT in the know, I, Doctor Thalamo, owe my very own existence to Doctor Who. He's legit, yo.

| Saving Puppy Ryan |
| 09.09.04 (5:08 am) [edit] |
PENSACOLA, Fla. - A man who tried to shoot seven puppies was shot himself when one of the dogs put its paw on the revolver's trigger.
The man decided to shoot the 3-month-old shepherd-mix dogs in the head because he couldn't find them a home, according to the sheriff's office.
The man was holding two puppies — one in his arms and another in his left hand — when the dog in his hand wiggled and put its paw on the trigger of the .38-caliber revolver. The gun then discharged.
4 puppies survived.

| A Step Backward |
| 09.09.04 (4:59 am) [edit] |
Sweden's Great Lake Monster, the mythical inhabitant of Storsjon lake, will soon be fair game for hunters as its protected status is about to be lifted.
The legend dates back at least to the 1600s and tells of a huge black serpent with a cat-like head. But a snake-like beast is also depicted on a Viking rune-stone from hundreds of years earlier on an island in the middle of the lake.
A request from a local man for permission to collect its eggs forced local authorities to acknowledge they lack scientific evidence that it is a valid species, thus a lift on the protection laws.
"We do not question the Great Lake Monster's existence -- of course we believe it exists," Peter Lif, head of legal affairs for the region of Jamtland told Reuters. "But we find ourselves forced to lift its protection."

In honor of the NFL Opening Week, and the best team the Jets, and the best Quarterback Chad Pennington, I give you all the [url=http://www.yves-rossy.com/en/...]Jet Man[/url] .
Yesindeedee, this guy can fly. The Jet Cat contraption manages a horizontal flight at 1600m from the ground for more than 4 minutes at 115 mph. The pilot, for a bit of fun, manages to also ignite the smoke producers which leave a nice trail behind him... A German company has been doing tests on miniature airplanes and flying machines, this being the latest invention.

"It's an unfortunate accident," Toumey said. "I've always been very, very safe."
Always safe? Obviously not, dooshbag.

Own 20 SFX eyes - the same kind used for the movie industry!
Why you ask? Why not, i reply!
Made of a durable polymure-resin-glass compound these eyes are very lifelike. Some washed-up LA effects worker must've gotten fired and stole a box of these from work. Now he's trying to sell them online.
I'm glad you get 20 of them, b/c having just 1 or 2 would be stupid.

| Sushi Spectacles Cause Spectacle |
| 09.01.04 (6:36 am) [edit] |
A German company has invented a pair of glasses that come apart to double as chopsticks. The 'sushi specs' have detachable arms that can be used to eat traditional Japanese food.
"The idea came from the common need for cutlery at any time. Nowadays people don't have time to stop and eat lunch in a restaurant, they want to eat while they're walking to their next job," said Mr Anderl, the specs' creator.
Ah yes... just the direction I wish our fashion and eating habits are going in - less time to eat and enjoy a meal and the sanitary (and stylish) use of utensils on my face.
