Cookie monster weighs 400 lbs...
Woman beats lady over girl scout cookies - So she's missing some cookies and decides to go insane over the missing cookies. This is the real cookie monster - and she weighs 400 lbs. On the one hand I applaud the roomate/husband if this was just a ruse to get the lady some cardio... but there has to be a safer way.. like tying the cookies to a string and putting them in front of a treadmill...
SAFE
SAFE
NOT SAFE
I hope this illustration clears up the matter.

Unions
All Unions should be disbanded.... and here's a good story of why(in most industrialized countries).
I've been saying for YEARS that unions should be disbanded(why have I been talking about unions for years? because I'm an economist.. or at least my degree says so), or at the very least lose a LOT of their power. I know that back when unions were created they were very beneficial. In a time where bosses could work their employees to the bone for unfair wages, or have dangerous environments, the unions were a useful beneficial tool for collective bargaining. Yes the boss could fire all the workers once they banded together, but this had in it other costs that would need to be considered. Training a whole new workforce, you would lose productivity for days or weeks due to that alone. However, now the need for unions has been eradicated. All they are now is a way to slow down any job, and get paid more than it's worth. There are laws (WHO) that protect workers against unfair working conditions. Also there is minimum wage. Is there any reason that a janitor in a union should be making 15-20 dollars an hour? I'm not trying to rag on any type of job, any honest days work is good work. However that being said, it's a job you could hire some kid to do for $8 dollars an hour. Cleaning up messes etc. etc. Now unions are used to get preposterous wages for the type of work they do. What needs to happen is all union members should be fired, offered their jobs back - but have them be non-union. If they won't take them without the union - then hire someone else. Plenty of people are looking for work right now.

This is how all jeeps should be parked if available. It should basically be a law.

Egypt a pretty cool slideshow... Egypt interests me... so it should interest you too... but cool slide show even if you aren't a egyptologist.
Illegal to view the superbowl on a tv that's larger than 55 inches? Yes.. and no. Wow the NFL is kinda weird with its policies.. however in your own home it's fine.. interesting to note.. they used to go after church gatherings if the tv was larger than 55 inches and it was played at the church.. they have stopped that practice.. for now.
I would just about do anything for the ball that walks on water... "The 12 most insane things you can buy on the internet".. and I must say after reading this.. I want about.. 7 of them. Ball on water, and super speed / jump thingys are on the top of my list...
Watch this to laugh hard... hahaha Ohhh man. How do they come up with this stuff?

I must apologize to the few viewers I have for the 0 updates yesterday - our internet at work was acting weird and wouldn't let me post.
Submitted for your approval by Andrew. Added fees? No thanks. I don't care how our state compares to other states in energy usage. This whole thing seems like a bad joke or idea. The government needs to stop doing stupid things.
Apple Ipad....Is the Iphone without a phone, or a camera. Ever wanted to own a giant version of the iphone, but didn't want the annoying phone OR camera feature? Here's your chance.. buy the IPAD for $499.... apple, you prove more useless everyday. Or go with a netbook for 200-300.. that includes over 130 gb more of HD space. My rating for the Ipad - F.
Italy Opens First transgender Prison I didn't even know this would be an issue... anywhere. At least it's in Italy... begs me to ask the question though - why are we doing special requests.. for criminals?
One bad deicision.. mistake? Or a foreshadow of things to come? So our antagonist in this e-drama is a 17 year old girl. To recap the story quick - 17 year old girl gets drunk, drives, hits stone wall, passenger/boyfriend dies. Pleads guilty to a crime, would have gotten probation, if before her sentencing trial she didnt post pictures of her getting "Drunk in florida"... to which the judge saw as a pattern of behavior, sentenced her to 6 months in jail and 5 years probation. Terrible. F.

Another day - another post
http://jstud.com/i_dominate/2009/12/01/new-moon-i-watched-it-online-i-want-my-money-back/
This is one of my HS friends websites, and this is a hilariously written article. Definitely worth checking out. Best line of it - definitely quotable - "I can’t even begin to express how much I disliked this movie… But I’ll give it a shot. I watched it online and I want my money back. That about sums it up."

An interesting article if you're interested in space as I am. I've been following this for the past few months, and it seems that the mars rover just got stuck in too much sand, and had a pebble smaller than a pencil eraser get stuck in one of the wheels. It's a shame.. . however probably one of our governments best projects as it was designed to run for 90 days on mars.. and has been roaming mars and collecting data for... 6 years. A success by any means.
Pretty funny subway vandalism...
Very amusing.

Um - what?
To start - the most ridiculous website on the planet. No further comment needed.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1246201/Employer-told-advertise-reliable-workers--discriminates-unreliable-applicants.html
The above link (gotten from Digg.com originally http://digg.com/d31Gpnk) is a story about a lady who tried to post an Ad looking for an employee, however was told that she can't ask for "Reliable" workers, because unreliable workers could take offense to it, and sue the company she was using to post the ad...
What a sad state of the world we're in today that this is even an issue.
This lady's got issues. 3 DWI's in one week, talk about a rough patch.. interesting to note though is that - NH can't actually take her license away for 30 days, they take the plastic one and issue her a temporary paper one until the 30 day period is up... you think someone might, oh I don't know.. PUT AN END TO THAT. To quote the article "State officials said Mondro was able to get behind the wheel each time because when a person is arrested for DWI, police take their plastic license and begin the process to suspend it altogether. But the law requires 30 days before that can happen, and in the meantime, the person is given a temporary paper license."
