Energy Drinks

This guy has pictures of 455 different energy drink cans, of which I have tried none. Am I missing something by ignoring this obviously busy market? Not safe for work if some naughty language is an issue.

The Jena Six

I’ve seen more and more newspapers printing stories about the Jena Six case, but it’s still under the radar of a lot of people. Read up if you haven’t, it’s one ridiculous case. Unfortunately, the Rev. Al Sharpton has appeared on the scene. I hope this doesn’t turn people off, these teenagers could use as much support as possible if they really are as screwed as it seems.

Jeffrey Dahmer and Adam Walsh

ABC News has an interesting article for true crime readers: “Could Jeffrey Dahmer Be to Blame for Adam Walsh’s Murder?”. An interesting theory, probably never to be proven.

FTTW

Thanks to a stomach bug sidelining me (staring at a computer screen just didn’t sound like much fun at the time), I missed that Faster Than the World was celebrating their 1 year birthday. Congrats Michele and everyone else involved in making it run so well over the past year! If you haven’t checked it out, please do. Daily articles about this, that and the other thing.

This Is Broken

This Is Broken, a weblog that points out things (mainly advertising) that aren’t quite right. A few are just from submitters that are overly picky, but some are quite funny.

Cingular Sucks

I dislike Cingular, not just for their crappy reception or bad customer service, but because these assclowns think they somehow control how people link to them. Read on.

Welcome to HOLYSMOKE.ORG

Holysmoke.org describes itself as “a skeptical site that looks at the facts about frauds, fakes, fools, and flim-flam”. I got there by searching for the always ridiculous Bob Larson.
