Dog mauls Vick

CNN had a great article how a one-time Vick fan had his dog 'maul' his Vick autographed football. The video can be seen here.

The ball is now for sale on eBay with all proceeds going to the Oregon Humane Society.

In related news:
One woman paid $7,400 for dog-chewed Vick football cards. And in Atlanta, Georgia, where Vick was the star quarterback for the NFL's Atlanta Falcons, one dog shelter has used Vick jerseys to clean out kennels.
It can all be read at CNN.

Justn like in the movies, a car hit a fire plug and boom, instant geyser. My dad used to work for a company that sold safety mechanisms to keep this from happening. I guess SF is just a little behind on fire plug technology.

Greatest movie EVER!

Ask a Ninja has grown to be one of my favorite sites. Here he pitches the greatest ninja movie of all time. You should watch it twice and try to catch all the different movies he incorporates into his own.

If Resident Evil did it, why can't I?

Too much stimulation

Several of you know I like Robots. Some of you know I also harbor a passion for hip hop. So imagine my delight when Daft Punk and Kanye West got together for his latest hit - STRONGER. The video only makes it better.

Badge of Shame!


Hello Kitty

How do you punish bad cops? You make them wear Hello Kitty arm bands! At least that is what they do in Thailand.
"Simple warnings no longer work. This new twist is expected to make them feel guilt and shame and prevent them from repeating the offense, no matter how minor," said Pongpat, acting chief of the Crime Suppression Division in Bangkok.

"(Hello) Kitty is a cute icon for young girls. It's not something macho police officers want covering their biceps," Pongpat said.

Sweet. Read all about it here.
