Optical Illusion
I have no idea how this works but if you look at the image for about 5 minutes, you can see a ninja robot in the background.

Howtoons help proto-geeks get their nerd on
Comic-style instructions for building and doing nerdy stuff...like counting to 1023 using only your 10 fingers.
another "OO" fad language
recent wikipedia featured article. not bad, though i think the article as structured will be confusing to non-specialists. seems they might have split it up into several articles, though i think they do a reasonable job of at least raising the many, many points that should be discussed in a comprehensive discourse on the language / platform / marketing machine that is java.
i didn't know that java was originally designed to run embedded in cable set-top boxes and microwaves, with the "web thing" being mostly a crime of opportunity.

"They got him"
This clip is crying out for a caption contest. How about: "They told me I wasn't allowed to hit suspects with my nightstick anymore."

Who thinks this is a good idea?
I have very vague recollections of sitting on Santa's lap. None too horrifying but at the same time none particularly happy. I mean really...
An oldie but a goodie

Apotheosis of shlock horror flick coming to fruition
Samuel L. Jackson will be appearing in a movie titled "Snakes on a Plane".
At some point, the film's working title was altered to Pacific Air Flight 121, to the consternation of many. Josh Friedman declined the script offer upon hearing the new title. In August 2005, a perturbed Samuel L. Jackson told an interviewer, "We're totally changing that back. That's the only reason I took the job: I read the title." The film has currently reverted back to the working title of Snakes on a Plane.
All I can say is, thank God.
Holy Tango of Literature
"THE QUESTION of what would happen if poets and playwrights wrote works whose titles were anagrams of their names is one that has been insufficiently studied in the past..."
For instance,
MULTICOLORED ARGYLE SEA
SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE
It is an ancient Mariner,
And he taketh lots of drugs,
And he thinks his beard is made of snakes
And his body crawls with bugs.

US Military planned gay bomb
The article says:
the researchers proposed that strong aphrodisiacs be dropped on enemy troops. The idea was that the deliriously loved-up men would unable to resist one another, but would be suffused with regret once the potion wore off.
Were they just going to lob extasy on Iraqi encampments?
