A neat trick you can do with your desktop background image. People match the wallpaper with what is behind their monitor to make the screen look invisible.

Pictures and video of the remains of a 13-foot Burmese python that burst after trying to eat a live, 6-foot alligator. Oh, and this happened in the Florida Everglades. Yes, turns out there are pythons in Florida.

I don’t really know whats going on here, but I do know that North American cats would have no part of this tom-foolery. None whatsoever.

The ad also says “Consider it a gift from above.” I’ll admit the mosque thing is in particularly bad taste, but even if it weren’t a mosque, don’t you find this a little crazy? Who are they advertising to anyway???

I’ll bet you thought that Superman was a really great guy, what with his saving the Earth from all manner of calamity, but not so I’m afraid. He also has a strong inclination towards homicide, blackmail and just general mean-spiritedness, as evidenced by these comic covers. continue reading… »

I can’t really describe this, except to say that it involves dog shit and the President.

A couple of guys built their own tracking sentry gun that fires bb’s, so I figured it might be a good project for some of you. And if you’re psychotic, you can do it with a real gun! But rembember that would be very illegal and you’d probably kill your wife, who let’s face it, is the only person who’s ever loved you. You inhuman monster.

Easier than Outlook. Simpler than notepad. More useful than either. 37Signals Backpack is an outrageously cool and useful web application that you can post to, read and edit effortlessly.
