IT'S ALIVE!!!

When I was a young one... Voltron was one of my favorite cartoons.... I always imagined what it would be like to operate a big super robert and go kick some "bad-guy" tail...

Meet "The Voltron Evolution":

In the back of Carlos Owens' southern Alaska yard, an 18-foot-tall steel robot is taking shape in the dim light of the winter afternoons.

The 26-year-old Owens is an Anchorage-area steelworker by day. In his own time, he's hoping to become the creator of a true "mecha"--not a robot, exactly, but a gigantic exoskeleton that can transform its wearer's motions into eight-foot strides and the devastating sweep of a steel fist.

Montgomery Ward created Rudolph: Who Knew?

Some history on the most famous reindeer of all:

"Rudolph came to life in 1939 when the Chicago-based Montgomery Ward company (operators of a chain of department stores) asked one of their copywriters, 34-year-old Robert L. May, to come up with a Christmas story they could give away to shoppers as a promotional gimmick. (The Montgomery Ward stores had been buying and giving away coloring books for Christmas every year, and May's department head saw creating a giveaway booklet of their own as a way to save money.) May, who had a penchant for writing children's stories and limericks, was tapped to create the booklet."

Bullwinkle Drunk

"Be careful when you approach moose that have been munching apples for days. Their behavior can alter and they can become frighteningly aggressive. Clap and see how it reacts. If it doesn't retreat but instead comes even closer, by all means stay vigilant. It can be intoxicated and attack..."

Unleash The Work Day Hero Inside YOU!

"...in an increasingly structured society, fantasy books, games and movies create arenas for the 'controlled decontrolling' of emotions. It's not socially acceptable to duel that surly human resources director with a stapler gun at 20 paces, and destroying a castle with a trebuchet isn't an option for the average white-collar worker. Instead, against a backdrop of magic and myth, heroic fantasy allows us to prove our mettle by saving some parallel world from easily identifiable bad guys."

You might not be able to dual the "Resource Director" but you certainly can duel one of your co-workers when the Boss is out on lunch break.

Virgins Rally to Promote Large Orgies

Just Kidding....

Actually they rallied to promote abstinence:

"You are all created in the image of God, and God has endowed you with the ability of self-control. We are here to guide you to a safer way of life," Mrs. Museveni told the crowd.

Yeah... He also endowed us with the twig and berries and the taco to put them in... So I'm sure he doesn't mind too much....

Choose Your Own Adventure - ONLINE

If your DNA has the "geek" gene in it, like mine... Then you're probably familiar with the old "Choose Your Own Adventure" Books... They were hours of fun and excitement, and I don't care who you are.... You always cheated & looked ahead to make sure you were going the right direction.....

Well.... Blambot's Dead Ends is one you can read & play ONLINE... It's great, a little more graphic than the old CYOA Books... but still worth a look...

This is the Official Countdown Website to
Hermione Granger's 18th Birthday.

In case you've been camping out in the wilderness or stationed in Guam for the past several years, I suppose I should tell you a little bit about Ms. Hermione Granger. First of all, her name is pronounced her-MY-uh-nee, not her-my-OH-nee! You can remember where the accent goes because it's on the MY, as in Hermione is MY girl. Not yours, which means don't even think about it.

uh... WTF is this guy thinking is going to happen when "her-my-OH-nee!" turns 18?

PCs Make Kids Dumber

From the Register, a new study says that PCs make kids dumber..
Students who hardly ever used computers did a little worse than those who used them between a few times a year and several times a month. But those who used school computers several times a week performed "sizably and statistically significantly worse" in both maths and reading.
This is why I have trouble balancing my checkbook..... I can see the headlines now....
