Funny videos featuring celebrities, comedians and you. Woohoo!
Couch potato cat gets up and boogies. Allllrighty then.
Armageddon Day. In what manner would you most not want the world to end? In the words of Gozer: Choose the form of the destructor! No Stay Puft Man I’m afraid - that’s just silly.
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
” —Twitter is becoming a part of our every day lives. Since more and more people are starting to use the power of Twitter, here’s a list of various uses for the micro-blogging tool.
Children across the UK will be required to learn the ins and outs of a number of various social media platforms as part of draft plans proposed for the national curriculum.
According to the Guardian newspaper, who placed the story onto the front page of their daily national newspaper (a first for Twitter in the UK I believe):
Children will be required to become familiar with blogging, podcasts, wikipedia as sourced of information and forms of communication. They must gain “fluency” in handwriting and keyboard skills, and learn how to use a spellchecker alongside how to spell.
This is how we did it back in the day.
Jai rocked Hatfield Square. Oh yeah. Boy’s got game.

Later when she saw the man again outside the police station on his way to jail he apologized Renfro said.
“Apology accepted ” she replied. “God bless you.”
Very nice tale. Warms the heart, it truly does. ^_^
“Later, when she saw the man again outside the police station on his way to jail, he apologized, Renfro said. ‘Apology accepted,’ she replied. ‘God bless you.’ ” NICE!

I never had any of these. I…feel so …. deprived :-( Truth be told, apart from the Cabbage Dolls, none of these toys made it to SA, I think.
An eighth-grader was suspended from riding the school bus for three days after being accused of passing gas. The bus driver wrote on a misbehavior form that a 15-year-old teen passing gas on the bus Monday to make the other children laugh, creating a stench so bad that it was difficult to breathe.
Subway heroes, as they are inevitably tagged even before the grease from the tracks is rubbed off, come along every now and then — indeed, as the story of Chad Lindsey suggests, perhaps more often than we know.
Minutes after rescuing a man who had fallen onto the subway tracks at the Penn Station stop on Monday, Mr. Lindsey managed to melt back into the anonymity of the city, escaping the notice of the police, paramedics and subway workers.
A boomerang-shaped object seen from an airport control tower and a woman’s encounter with an “alien” are among the secrets revealed in official UFO files.
The woman reported seeing a glowing, spherical object rise into the air in Norwich after meeting a man who said he came from a planet similar to Earth.
Why, hello new sexual issues!
@PolishLogic That’s just it. It comes down to who would play this type of game. Certainly people who don’t morally see any problem with rape. Rather express your fantasies in a game than in real…
“I like people who smile when it’s raining” a wee drawing from my heidillustration’s journal.
Nostalgia is a funny thing. Usually it serves no other purpose than to make us hate our lives and long for a simpler time. Sometimes nostalgia can actually serve a mirror into our lives and show how really screwed up we really are. Like, for instance, what life was like before high speed Internet. Sure, our lives sucked then as much as it sucks now, but we blame the Internet for ruining a few things that were once good and holy. Here’s our list of 9 Good Things The Internet Has Ruined Forever.
Everybody should pay a visit to Dr. Grammar’s FAQ page, methinks.

These specialty products, all of which are currently sold over the good old Internet, manage to push the boundaries of extravagance and questionable taste, simultaneously. You’d be surprised how many of them are sold out.
Fun game :-)
In Batman: The Killing Joke we find the Joker trying to make one simple little point: The only difference between normalcy and insanity is just one bad day. He goes to great lengths to prove his point by kidnapping the Commissioner and shooting his daughter. And through the course of events I started to realize that maybe The Joker is right? After all, Batman is clearly insane. Why else would he dress up as a flying rodent and hide in the dark?
And before I could put the pieces together myself I see the Joker deduce something clearly obvious to him: Batman once had a bad day too. Needless to say I was disheartened when that infernal Batman foiled Mr. J’s plans. And people can say what they want about the ending, I for one like to believe it was simply too adversaries with mutual respect for one another sharing a good laugh.
Jai was cocooned in a purple hammock. Mmmm. That was nice.
It really comes to something when your child’s Head Teacher has to put a notice in the weekly school newsletter telling parents about the dangers of letting their little ones go on the internet…
