Innnnteresting.... very interesting...

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/01/100126-mars-rover-spirit-nasa-stuck/
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.

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."

10 most annoying things about facebook

WoW it's like the person who wrote this facebook article was inside my head when they wrote #8, also known as "Photos of your baby".  It's nice that you put updates of your mistake bundle of joy on facebook, but I don't want 1500 news feed articles all relating to your baby on a given day.

6 Micro Nations  This cracked article, and the links to the microcountries actual websites, has to be one of the most entertaining things i have ever read in my entire life.  MAKE SURE YOU VISIT THE ACTUAL WEBSITES WITHIN THE ARTICLE!
