No shit. Geez, LJ...how stupid do you think we all are, anyway? Wait. Nevermind. Don't answer that. I don't want to know. :headshake

Several pages of savings tips, and many many many calculators. Very helpful, useful information. Check it out. I was able to forecast the difference in the amount of interest expense on my last credit card as a result of persuading the credit card company to lower my interest rate. The difference is >$500!! Woohoo!

I'm thinking that someone at Google has been tweaking the search results a bit. Not that it isn't true, just that it seems to be a coincidence beyond most statistical probabilities I can imagine.

hmmm. works for www.google.com.br as well.

mrnoodle 10-26-2005 12:54 PM

Yah, that's been a running joke for awhile, actually. No one seems to know who's responsible.

But, can you recognize a pervert when you see him?

BigV 10-26-2005 01:09 PM

Hey RS! Are you guys running some kind of Republican spin machine over there? Cause on clusty.com, he only rates #2.

Veeeeeeeeedy eeeenterestink.


edit: testing my own post revealed GWB has leapt to the top of the pops! He's the number one!

BigV 10-26-2005 01:16 PM

Ahhhh....

****Spoiler Alert****

If you prefer your jokes unexplained, move on. If you are persistently curious, highlight at your peril...

Here's a link to why. It was funner when it was a mystery, though.

I got 11 out of 15.

I do much better in real life.

BigV 10-26-2005 01:20 PM

On a related note...

Elspode 10-26-2005 01:42 PM

I got 11 out of 15 too, and I'm pissed. There were only two non-perverts in the whole sampling. I would have done better just by guessing that they were *all* perverts.

wolf 10-26-2005 02:01 PM

I started with that, and then realized that it was a run of pervs.

Weren't there three? The DUI, the forger, and the misc. drug charges guy?

mrnoodle 10-26-2005 03:12 PM

Ooo. the test has changed in the last few minutes to "perv or druggie"

now it's kind of more funnerer

mrnoodle 10-27-2005 12:13 PM

The most awesome lip-synching video EVER.

Two Chinese students doing one of those irritatingly catchy Backstreet Boys tunes. Watch the whole thing and don't smile -- impossible. :devil:


If it skips, just rewind and start over -- it'll play right then.

mrnoodle 10-27-2005 12:31 PM

And a disturbing exchange between a 9-year-old and his mom over whether or not he has to stop playing a video game, and whether or not she should bring him some "mother****ing chocolate milk".

The strongest support for corporal punishment (not for the kid, for the mom that lets her kid act that way) I've seen today. NSFW audio.

BigV 10-27-2005 03:39 PM

That was the funniest thing I've watched all day! My favorite part was the fella in the back who's playing on the computer. He doesn't even have headphones on and he's not rocking out. I wonder how many times he had to listen to them practice.

Then again I think of our new college freshman and what he's up to when he could be studying. On second thought, I don't think I want to know any more than I already do.

Okay, this is too funny. Here is the story that was floating in the Atlantic off the coast of Africa ...

Quote:

A Roseville attorney has been sentenced to more than five years in prison on charges of forgery, battery and illegal possession of drugs.

Jonathan R. Tyrell, 38, pleaded no contest to the felony charges and to a misdemeanor charge of child molestation for videotaping young males as they held their breath under water.

At his sentencing Wednesday, Tyrell was also ordered to register as a sex offender, said Deputy District Attorney Jeff Wilson.

Tyrell's attorney, Barry Zimmerman of Auburn, had argued against prison time.

"Mr. Tyrell was totally an appropriate candidate for probation," Zimmerman said.

Tyrell had accepted responsibility for his actions and prison would prevent him receiving treatment and resuming his life, Zimmerman said, adding that he planned to appeal the sentence.

Tyrell came to the attention of law enforcement in December when he tried to stop an eviction against him by submitting a forged court order. The forgery was discovered when he confused two judge's names, Wilson said.

That discovery led authorities to two other falsified legal documents, Wilson said.

A search warrant served on Tyrell at his home uncovered drugs, drug paraphernalia and videotapes of young males in swimsuits submerging themselves in a bathtub in Tyrell's house, Wilson said.

Tyrell said the videotapes were shot as part of a scientific research project involving holding one's breath, Wilson said.

"We believe he did it for his own sexual gratification," Wilson said.

Phone system hell. You've been there and back. I offer these links to shorten your commute.

Paul English's website, the fella that methodically tracked down the specific steps for the shortcuts in and out of these circles of hell.

I got caught up in one of those computerized recording loops when calling Qwest about a problem recently. The problem was static on my phone line. The computer on the other end kept asking me what I wanted and not understanding because of the static. I finally started shreiking into the phone "HUMAN BEING!" This apparently got thru over the static and I was switched to a live customer rep. :rolleyes:

Wolf, I ran your pic from 2003 Forks. Is there something you're not telling us? It was a tie between Redford and Saddam Hussein.

wolf 11-26-2005 10:44 AM

Interesting, because I ran three different pictures and the result was "no matches."

(Despite rumors to the contrary, I am all original parts)

My gallery seems heavily into science and arts. It must be the beard and glasses. I always thought I looked like Pavoratti, so I'm surprised he's not the first on the list.

Oh yeah. That thing's great. You look JUST like Carl Lewis. Separated at birth.

jinx 11-26-2005 03:20 PM

Wolf, do I detect a teensy bit of sarcasm there? Becuase I know that I am the spitting image of Sharon Tate, so this thing must be right on.




It was her autopsy photo, but still...

The other pic has the benefit of lowered eyebrows, lending a satanic, moviestar quality. But still the fucking Hugh pic.

None of those people even remotely resembles me, but you can bet I'm gonna make a point to show this to any potential dates. It's a smorgasbord of wacko cultists. Meh.

iirc, Michael Moorcock wrote the Elric of Melnibone series, about the sword, Stormbringer, and some guy, Elric, who carried it around. Not uncool, dude. A little more eyeliner and you could double Peter Gabriel, though.

I tried this and came up with "No Matches". All my twins must have broken the cameras aimed at them too.

I like how my proceding hairline was scanned through the cap. I should run a goatee pic through but I'm lazy er cerebral ya like a young Ginsberg or an Oppenheimer.

Mother Theresa, Penelope Cruz, Annika Sorenstam, dude from Abba for Pete
Sophia Lauren and Briget Bardot fer mini Pete (the Hillary match was an ugly glitch)
and Oliver Hardy fer mini me sans stem (She got Nicole Kidman as well but the soul is really Hardy's.)

Is it wrong to have a thing for Jen Cap?
