If only US commercials were this good

by @ 11:41 pm. Filed under Humor, Misc, The Body

Honestly, it’d be very nice if we all collectively decided that it’s ‘ok’ to view things like this during prime-time TV. Do we think ‘the children’ are going to NOT see this online/in-magazines/at-school???

Seriously now, you have to chuckle… Oh, and because I can’t resist: “Nice Pussy (cat)”

Did the Illustrator go to Jail instead of the Zoo?

by @ 10:28 pm. Filed under Adrienne's Head

While reading the Gremlins a bedtime story tonight, I happen to read the dedication from the Illustartor:

For Mary Beth Grand Juror #23, Supreme Court, State of New York, Special Narcotics - N.W.P.

Definitely not the dedication you would expect in Our Class Took a Trip to the Zoo.   Things that make you wonder…. 

Calliope

Calliope: a GPL jukebox music server, content- and music-management system. Perl-based, it supports multi-user, multiple channels (soundcard and Icecast streams), data/id3 editing, smart loading, cd burning, and skins. It plays mp3, ogg & flac (so far).

Credit card minimums and % surcharges

by @ 9:37 pm. Filed under Misc

Ever see those signs that say “$10 minimum for credit card purchases” or whatever? Those are expressly forbidden by all major credit card companies. Here are the specific references.

Sometimes, it’s probably just not worth it.

… “When taken with meals, the drug blocks the absorption of about one-quarter of any fat consumed. That fat — about 150 to 200 calories worth — is passed out of the body, potentially resulting in loose stools.

About half of patients in trials experienced gastrointestinal side effects, including leakages and oily discharges.

GlaxoSmithKline is frank about those unpleasant effects, which it says can be controlled if the drug is used properly. The campaign stresses the importance of keeping meals under 15 grams of fat to avoid effects.

Educational materials even recommend people start the program when they have a few days off work, or to bring an extra pair of pants to the office. Experts say a failure to adequately prepare consumers about the effects contributed to Xenical’s limited success.”

Camera on a conveyor at a Tokyo sushi bar. It was about midnight and the place was packed with great people.

The Passive.Aggressive.Notes blog is the new favorite. Only because I have seen a couple of these at work.

Some flickr updates

I have some more photos of the helicopter.

Also, I just met this skink who appears to have moved in under the front steps. I’ve decided to name him lefty, since he’s missing his right front mobility function.
