World of Warcraft: China’s Hidden “Gold” Market

April 29th, 2007 2 comments

Insane.  People in China are playing WoW for 12+ hours a day collecting Gold, which is “in game” money.  The Gold is then sold for REAL money to other people trying to build up their character.

WoW is a disease!

trippin on acidCheck out the full sized version of this pic on the left.  This psychedelic image moves with such fluidity that it might make you want to throw up lol.

I tried blowing the image up a little bit to maybe have a more dramatic effect but the smaller version is much better.  Gotta love the optical illusions.

Worlds Largest Nuke: The Tsar Bomba

April 24th, 2007 No comments

tsar bombaFrom Wikipedia:

Tsar Bomba (Russian: Царь-бомба, literally “Emperor Bomb”) is the Western name for the largest, most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Developed by the Soviet Union, the bomb of about 50 megatons was codenamed Ivan by its developers.

The picture on the top left shows the size in relation to other bombs.  Hiroshima is probably the most memorable one in the line up but as you can see it is TINY in relation to the Tsar Bomba.  Scary!

I also have a video of the Tsar Bomba being tested on October 30, 1961, in Novaya Zemlya — Novaya Zemlya is located in the North Western part of Russia.

Amazing video:

I Found Your Diskette…

April 23rd, 2007 No comments

magnet on disk

Read the caption on this image… if you don’t understand the humor then you are not geeky enough and you need to upgrade your pocket protector with the latest Mega Protector 9000.

And the caption says:

Hello dear,

I found the disk you were so frantically looking for yesterday.

OK, OK…. I won’t leave you out, basically a diskette is made from a piece of plastic with iron oxide on it. Iron oxide is a ferromagnetic material which just means if you expose it to a magnetic field, it will stay permanently magnetized. And yes, i did say ferromagnetic. :)

So when you save something on a disk what happens is little particles of that iron oxide are magnetized to indicate if it represents a 1 or a 0. Binary!

This nice lady just put a magnet on her husband’s disk — which he had been frantically searching for — and most likely scrambled everything on that disk. Oops!

Skeeter has Narcolepsy

April 20th, 2007 1 comment

Wow this is so sad!

Skeeter is a toy poodle who has narcolepsy! The poor dog’s narcolepsy is set off by excitement so he pretty much can’t do anything… walk, jump on the couch, EAT.

The worst part is that he’s on human antidepressants! This post is getting tagged with just about everything I’ve got!

Here is the video:

Hummers Are For Soccer Moms

April 20th, 2007 No comments

Here is proof that hummers are completely worthless.  In this clip a Toyota FJ 70 rescues a Hummer owned by the desert sands of Saudi Arabia…

It’s a good thing they move it too… chances are the Hummer would have been blocking a drilling site and thousands of Hummers in the USA might not get the oil/gas they need.

Video Footage of Cho Seung-hui (Virginia Tech Shooter) and Violent Play

April 19th, 2007 4 comments

Most of the stuff posted here is happy/upbeat but today i want to post a clip from the media package Cho Seung-hui sent to NBC.

Although most, if not all, people have heard about what this individual did but to sum it up, here is an excerpt from a newspaper:

The gunman responsible for at least the second of the two Virginia Tech attacks that claimed 33 lives to become the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history has been identified as Cho Seung-Hui, a campus student in the United States on a permanent resident visa, Virginia Tech police said Tuesday.

Here is some footage that was submitted:

Additionally Cho Seung-hui authored an extremely violent play which told of a pedophilic stepfather, and the murder of 13-year-old boy.

This Monkey Is a Real Jerk

April 18th, 2007 No comments

Remember the Cat Who was a Real Jerk? Well, here is the monkey version. In this 11 second clip, a monkey… well to be more accurate, an ape called a “Gibbon”… is harassing a dog who is just trying to enjoy his day.

The way this little ape runs cracks me up, but in all honesty I wish the dog bit him in the face.
