It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

Heh. "se the Jackhammer button sparingly."

More or less SFW, but does contain the word 'teledildonics'.

This should be common knowledge by now, but if not, beware:

Code for JPEG exploit released; viruses likely to follow

This will probably force me to use firefox at home since I don't run an antivirus program, nor can I run windowsupdate anymore (stupid SP2).

``His hands are very soft,'' she said. ``He must use some powerful lotion.''

I would say that they are very in touch with reality. They know that the majority of americans don't understand real, complex political issues, but most in the states they need are homophobic and they're using that. They identified a really simple issue in the swing states that the majority of people in those swing states would understand and they generated a controversy and made it an election year issue even when it's not. Very smart.

This Inq article makes a big deal about buying disks for $0.90 per gigabyte. Last time we were in Fry's, Amber found a 160GB disk for $85 ($0.53 per gigabyte for those keeping count). Without a rebate! It was so cheap I was forced to buy it.

I opened this link in a background tab while I was reading an article. It must have talked for sixty seconds before I realized it was my computer doing the talking.
