The Great American Hunter



WGAL.com - Slideshow

"This doe jumped the fence, and I knew it didn't look exactly right," Becker said. "I thought about not shooting it, but then thought, 'We don't need it in the gene pool.'"

Just for clarification the hunter was talking about a 28 point "doe", yes I said doe, that he shot. Although he may have been quoting a portion of Michael Richards' latest act. One never knows.

Reading Assistance for the Elderly or Pirates



This interesting piece of machinery is designed to help elderly persons turn the pages of magazines and books in the library. I think it is a fantastic idea but there seem to be so many questions left to be answered. At first I thought this would be a good tool for rare materials, but then I had a vision of an ancient tome being ripped asunder by the cold steely talons of technology.




On the plus side one-handed pirates can eat their lunch while reading their favorite tale of the high seas. Shiver me timbers....

Trainwrecks 'R' Us

On second thought maybe it is just me. I can't believe America is actually waiting for this waste of music industry money to make that inevitable comeback. But then again there is a precedent for this sort of thing in nature. I mean look at those locusts. Loud, annoying, destructive, and aesthetically unpleasing to the eye.

Now you decided which animal I was describing there.
