Here is a post from Shamus Young about SecuROM. But I’m linking it because of the comments.

Even More Beijing Updates
There are even more updates than I linked in the last post. And those updates are here. The ones about China.
Lord of the Rings, D&D Style
I found this blog from a comment on Rock, Paper, Shotgun, and just started reading his webcomic. It gets pretty funny; you should check it out.

- Get ready for the wave of the past: the Apple IIgs laptop!
- Tetris + arm wrestling = win!
- Can’t get your software to work? Try a clean install!
- And this one is less funny: stupidity + sensitive personal information = worse than failure.
What would you do if you lived life from a third-person perspective?
It’s kind of an interesting and silly question. And I find it pretty funny (and cool) that this guy went so far to find out the answer.
Some links from Dave Barry’s blog
- This policy is certainly very… progressive.
- I wouldn’t really call it an “air freshener.”
- He isn’t just happy to see you.
- Let us observe a moment of silence. Or sexual harassment, your choice.
Quoth the Raven, “404.”
From the forums at Champions-Online.com, Black_Pagoda ran across their awesome 404 page. Check it out.
Link to a Story
Here’s a link to a story. I wonder how much of it is true?
Geek Humor
I found this page after reading the entry on Wikipedia for “geek humor.”
A Word Problem
Do you remember those math (or logic, and later physics) problems in school where there was a short paragraph of explanation and you had to figure out what the actual problem was before you completed it? And they always used to throw in some irrelevant information… well anyway, I’ve just thought of this one (the answer is at the bottom of the post): Continue reading ‘A Word Problem’ »
News: The Pot Makes a Statement
The CEO of McDonald’s UK, in an interview with the Times Online, linked rising trends of childhood obesity to video games. Technically, it’s an ad hominem fallacy to discount his conclusion; the kettle may actually be black (or, if not, maybe it is named “Black”). But that doesn’t mean we can’t laugh.
2007, in review
Here is possibly the best Year in Review write-up you will ever read today (if you read it today).
Danger: Avoid Death
You’ve gotten emails before about silly warning labels. Apparently there was a contest, and the above was the winner.

Well, I got back Saturday night but obviously haven’t posted here since then. Until now.
Anyway, the trip was really fun. We did almost everything we wanted to and the crowds weren’t too bad.
A Variety of News
Pick your flavor: gross, funny, or sad/stupid.
Be careful where you park your car.
Most people I know think squrrels are cute, or at least don’t mind them much. Now I understand why people consider them pests. Maybe they could be more, though; maybe they could be… weapons?

Many funny news articles recently:
- A man in India marries a dog. Reminds me of the Indian woman who married a snake a while back.
- Great Britain searches for a new motto; hilarity ensues. Citizens have suggested some excellent options.
- A bug is found in the software controlling a change machine. It’s only a slight miscalculation…
- Mistakes are made on a man’s tattoos. This is probably why expensive tattoo artists have business; they’re just better than the cheap ones (I hope the tatto artist in question was a cheap one, anyway).
- A man is fined for playing educational DVDs in his car. Very educational for kids…
- Shotguns don’t work very well for changing tires. Who knew?
- Valentine’s pranks began in May. Who ever heard of Valentine’s pranks? Where’s the love? Very funny, though.
- Teachers come up with new and innovative instruction methods. Their next field trip will be a week in the forest with the kids allowed bringing nothing but a hunting knife and a compass, to learn about the way of life of the feral mountain-man.
- Santa is finally losing his preferential treatment. Just because it’s been around longer than the connotation and doesn’t mean the same thing, doesn’t mean offense should not be taken. It’s just like how songs which use the term “gay” in the original sense should be censored or re-recorded with a different word. I am joking, of course.
- Heidi Klum is not the genius we thought she was. The headline on that one is scary.
