Where would we be without the south?
India: My island! Bangladesh: My island! Global Warming: What island?
For almost three decades, India and Bangladesh have squabbled over ownership of a tiny, uninhabited island in the Bay of Bengal.
But where threats and negotiations have failed, global warming has now apparently succeeded: the island has disappeared beneath the waves.
Global Warming Denial…Denial
Ever been confronted by a global warming denialist? They’re pretty tenacious but often standing on precarious scientific footing, if any at all. If you’re like me, you have little patience for someone who denies the validity of something simply because doing so helps them fit more snugly into their tidy conservative worldview. Lucky for you, the mountain of evidence to help you pummel your friend’s weak argument is now right at your fingertips!
“Ice age predicted in the 70s”
1970s ice age predictions were predominantly media based. The majority of peer reviewed research at the time predicted warming due to increasing CO2.
And there’s even an iPhone App! Use your new powers wisely.
Formerly known as “The Learning Channel”
Remember when KFC was “Kentucky Fried Chicken?” When “fried” became taboo, the company deftly shifted the moniker to simply KFC. Well, these days learning is taboo and not only that, it’s boring! In a prophetic move, “The Learning Channel” re-branded itself as TLC in 1998 and never looked back. Free from the clumsy shackles of educational programming, the network has released such appalling drivel as “49 Kids and Counting.”
Last Saturday, TLC (Think Like Crazies?) premiered a new program featuring yet another magical dude pretending to talk to dead people. Only this time, he finds out which sucker…err..grieving family member is really supposed to get all the cool shit the deceased left behind. Who needs a will?
Script Kiddie Fail
Well, Larry Hyrd, aka Major Nelson of Xbox Live had his account hacked recently. The code monkeys at M$ have fixed it all, supposedly.
The script kiddies that did it thoughtfully gave a YouTube presentation of their doings, complete with a their website address, Skype Names, and AIM name. Furthermore, they showed (in HD glory) their entire buddy list.
It’s awesome. The internets already has their home address and facebook via WHOIS.
Full story and YouTube Video on Kotaku here. WARNING: You’ll want headphones for the video if you’re at work. Lots of wannabe thug swearing.
Kotaku comment thread has his address and facebook page, if you are so inclined. Oh! And surprise, surprise, he’s from Florida.
Healthcare Headline Alludes to Penis Envy
Ha!
I have no idea what newspaper this is from. It was ripped from a friend’s wall on facebook, who ripped it from a friend of his. If you know where it came from, please chime in.
Tebow’s pre-Wonderlic prayer request falls flat
Tim Tebow requested that everyone in his test taking group bow their heads in prayer, and the response he got was:
“Shut the fuck up.”
Spirit of Truth
This guy has been a staple on the interwebs for quite some time now. If you haven’t received his biblical teachings set to early 90′s west coast Gangsta Rap and R&B, then you HAVE to watch this video and become enlightened.
