Highly nifty. Sort of a poster child for "web services." Stitches together craigslist postings and Google Maps.

I can't believe I go to the same school as these people. At least I won't for much longer.

Poor One Piece ( VG Cats 150 - Lost in Translation )

The character with the straw hat represents Monkey D. Luffy, the main character of One Piece, an incredibly popular anime that was "recently" licensed by 4Kids. Censorship be damned.

(ps. yes, Naruto was licensed)

I hope you enjoyed your anime moment of zen~

Intel provides wifi at the north pole... I'm glad they're using their vast resources for such useful things like giving Santa wireless access. I'm sure Intel employees are making their children proud.

Did you mean "he" and not "it"? Anyway, he's German right? Aren't all old Germans scary looking?

What?
I was rather more interested by the footnote about another story:
Mike the Headless Chicken survived a beheading in 1945 in Fruita, Colo. Afterward, Mike could go through the motions of pecking for food, and when he tried to crow, a gurgle came out. His owner put feed and water directly into Mike's gullet with an eyedropper.

Scientists examined the chicken and theorized Mike had enough of a brain stem left to live headless. He was a popular attraction until he choked to death on a corn kernel.

Anti-porn scanning technology "designed to intelligently identify 'smutty' images."

If they really have this product, they'd be making an Ask Jolene/Google Image porn search and raking in the dough. So I think it is lies.

Anti-Monkey Butt Powder
Last September I found myself in a rare and difficult situation. Through a chain of circumstances too complex and vivid to relate here, I found myself with a monkey lodged in my anus - specifically, a 7-year-old Siamang Gibbon named Ben. I tried everything possible to remove the monkey, but his grip was as tenacious as his desire to avoid capture.

EB & Gamestop to merge, become Gamestop.

The EB & Gamestop at my malls are right next to each other. How's that gonna work?

Japanese page with 2 wmv trailers (2:57 and 0:15 respectively). Not sure if there's much interest here though.
