Today, I took over BAGD’s StumbleUpon account. He had the preferences set to all sorts of weird topics that no one really wants to read about…like “open source code” “Linux” and “futurism.” (If you do like that sort of thing, check out his blog at www.nerdzapper.com. Here are some things I found today after resetting the preferences to my tastes.
Oh my gosh, if I had the time and the maple leaves, I would totally do this.
I have thought about drying some laundry outside, but that sort of thing don’t fly in the ‘burbs. I am sure my neighbors would have something to say about it. But, then again, its really none of their business.
Funny signs that did not quite translate correctly in Japan.
Wikipedia’s list of unusual deaths in history. Yipes. And I am most worried about Heart Disease.
How to Hide and Airplane Factory. Looks like a real subdivision to me.
How to Fold a Dollar Bill to look like a T-shirt. Good gift idea.
Interesting things you can print out at home. A long list, lots of variety. Something for everyone.
Bean, Shel and Kel, you should teach the kids at school to do this. They would think you were soooo cool.
We have a book of these photos, Pookie loves it. I will have to show him this one.
Poor girl. Tricked by Hooters. I almost feel sorry for her.
Did I ever mention that I work for an insurance company? Amongst other things, I handle Worker’s Compensation coverage. If these were done on the job, death or injury from every single one of these situations would be covered. Isn’t that awful? Makes me want to switch jobs. Wise up people!
A Food Cravings Chart. This is interesting. MOM always told me that chewing ice was a sign of low iron in the blood. I guess she was right.
Yes, I did watch the video, because I had to know how it worked. Basically, this is a pee funnel, called the P-Mate. Not something I see myself buying, but its interesting to know that someone invented it. The spokeswoman seems to know its an odd product. I can kind of sense in her narration that she knows people are snickering. I guess this popped up on StumbleUpon because I selected “women’s issues” as one of my categories. Not having a place to pee is a big women’s issue, according the them. Personally, most of my daily travels do not take me to places with unclean bathrooms. I am pretty mainstream. No pun intended.
I need to start writing my brilliant ideas down! I thought up this idea years ago, (well…not really, but close to it.) I always told BAGD that I was going to start a nudie magazine full of ordinary people, but the catch was that you could not buy it if you were interested in seeing naked people. You could only buy it if you were interested in the scientific, sociological study of body image. It was going to be for people to see how normal people looked and thereby prove to themselves that they too were “normal.” I am glad that someone got the idea off the ground. (*obvious disclaimer alert* there is nudity on the link, so don’t click it if you aren’t expecting that.)
I like this chair for book lovers. t would also work for a really lazy mailman who wanted to sort mail without standing up. Lots of cubbies.
Maybe this is why the world has gone to Heck in a hand basket over the last few decades. There are no really good inspirational messages for teenagers anymore. The last good one was the whole “This is your brain. This is your brain on crack” thing. Where are all the good PSAs and After school specials?!
A list of George Carlin quotes, for my MOM. Such language Mother! I cannot believe you have read every single one of his books.
That’s it. It look me a long time to find this quality list in the things I was Stumbled to. But luckily, I am working on my sedentary hobbies again, so this was a perfect use of a morning. Also, the baby was kicking alot during this. I guess she appreciates the internet as well.
