Funny but- they should be getting some work done.

Check out: "Sega Workers Pull Off Epic 'Sonic the Hedgehog' Office Prank" - www.asylum.com

Ah, the office prank. Glue your colleague's stapler to his desk. Turn his speakers up to full blast when he's not looking and then wait for him to go to a website with volume.



But what if you were afforded the opportunity to pull off a more elaborate stealth cubicle incursion?



The folks in this video had a colleague who went away for a three-week vacation. When he returned, his work space was transformed into a 16-bit world in which an extraordinarily athletic anthropomorphic hedgehog will stop at nothing in his quest to accumulate rings.



Read on to check it out, and enjoy the classic video game music. (via Urlesque)

What a difference 100 years makes!

Got this from "The Folks" the other day- some very shocking facts.

1910 Ford Model R




THE YEAR IS 1910


This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine!

************ ********* ***********

The year is 1910

One hundred years ago.

What a difference a century makes!

Here are some statistics for the Year 1910:

************ ********* ************

The average life expectancy for men was 47 years.

Fuel for this car( pictured above) was sold in drug stores only.

Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.

There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved roads.

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower !

The average US wage in 1910 was 22 cents per hour.

The average US worker made between $200 and $400 per year ..

A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year,

A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.

More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME .

Ninety percent of all Doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION!

Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which

Were condemned in the press AND the government as 'substandard.'

Sugar cost four cents a pound.

Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.

Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.

Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.

Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from entering into their country for any reason.

Two out of every 10 adults couldn't read or write and

Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school..

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores.

Back then pharmacists said, 'Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind,

Regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health'

( Shocking? DUH! )

Eighteen percent of households had at least one full-time servant or domestic help ....

There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A. !

Where can I get a good deal on "just for men"?





The "goat" has caught the grays.

Yep- people do everything with their iPhones

#9 on the bizarre list sticks out for me. 
Seriously- that's a slow process- why was your iPhone sitting next to thawing meat so long?

Check out: "'I Accidentally Buried It in My Garden' -- Ludicrous iPhone Insurance Claims" - www.asylum.com

http://www.asylum.com/2010/08/05/ludicrous-apple-iphone-insurance-claims/?icid=asylum-iphone-url


It is no secret people love their iPhones. They especially like taking them everywhere and whipping them out constantly, which is probably why so many end up being damaged in bizarre ways.



After noticing that one in five iPhone users have filed a claim for damage to their smart phone during the past 12 months, an insurance firm decided to compile lists of the most frequent and bizarre filings.



Topping the odd-claims list are two cases of plummeting iPhones (suggesting Apple should think about installing a mini-parachute in its next model). One was accidentally dropped from a hot air balloon and another was 'lost" while sky diving.



Also on the list are iPhones that were broken while being used as a table tennis racket, buried on the beach or in the garden, fell into a boiling tea kettle or chewed by a hungry dog.



The altogether-more-mundane list of the most common iPhone claims, from Protect Your Bubble, includes the handset being pinched while texting, falling off a car roof and being dropped into a toilet. (We've all been there.)



As for the guy who claimed he slipped and dropped his shiny new iPhone into a blender, you don't think it was this guy, do you?



Keep reading for the complete lists.
Top 10 Most Bizarre iPhone Claims

1. I dropped it from a hot air balloon

2. I lost it while sky diving

3. It broke when my son used it as a table-tennis racket

4. I lost it while building a sand castle for the kids

5. I accidentally buried it in the garden

6. It fell into the kettle

7. I dropped it in a food blender

8. My dog mistook it for his favorite toy and chewed it to pieces

9. Juice from a defrosting piece of meat leaked into it

10. It flew out of the car window



Top 10 Most Common iPhone Claims


1. Cracked screen

2. Stolen while texting

3. Couldn't hear the other person when making a call

4. Leaving phone on the car roof so it falls off when driving

5. Pet knocked the phone off a surface

6. Stolen from handbag

7. Internet connection completely broken

8. iPhone doesn't charge

9. Dropped in the bath/toilet

10. Screen freezes

Pretty awesome!

Finally- we get our own month!

Check out: "August Will Now and Forever Be 'Geek History Month'" - www.asylum.com

http://www.asylum.com/2010/07/28/geek-awards-geek-history-month/?icid=asylum-iphone-url


Surely you've heard of Black History Month, Women's History Month and National Hispanic Heritage Month. But did you know that there is another group of proud Americans who have long suffered from prejudice and stereotyping and that still don't have their very own commemorative month?



We're talking about geeks, who have contributed so much to society, while being so misunderstood. Yet for some strange reason, nobody has ever thought to declare a "Geek History Month."



That is until today. For, by decree of Asylum, August will be Geek History Month.



Why August? For starters, Aug. 6 was the day the first Web page was launched. And, as August rolls on, this Web page (the one you're on now) will be providing a steady stream of posts on great moments in geek history.



Then, on Aug. 18, our Aol mothership will present its first annual Geek Awards in Los Angeles, featuring celebrities who aren't afraid to embrace their more technical side.



So please, join us as we spend August geeking out on geek history.

"This is the coolest thing I have ever seen."

I loved this show when it was on-

'Beavis and Butt-head" -- the show that celebrated the slacker way of life and helped make MTV into a network that did more than just play music videos -- is coming back.



The move to resurrect the hugely popular 1990s animated anti-heroes has been rumored for several days. But yesterday, sources at MTV confirmed that a new batch of "Beavis and Butt-head" episodes are in the works.

Article also mentions-

The return of "Beavis and Butt-head" will be a backdoor( HUH..HUH you said backdoor) means for MTV to return to showing music videos -- something the network was founded upon but abandoned in the last decade to make room for popular reality shows like "Laguna Beach," "The Hills" and "Jersey Shore."


"Beavis and Butt-head," which premiered in 1993, began as an animated short called "Frog Baseball," which aired on MTV's "Liquid Television."


The basic plotline revolved around two shorts-wearing, spectacularly immature teenage pals whose banter was delivered against the backbeat of their constant idiotic laughter.

Some folks used to say about this- "they're sooo stupid!" 

THAT'S THE POINT!

Throughout history- the things that make us laugh the most are "idiots" doing dumb stuff.

I am looking forward to the return of Beavis and Butthead!

Sure, "Star Wars" is the most obsessed-over movie of all time. There are, however, still some fascinating bits of trivia that have escaped the attention of all but the most hardcore fans.



Being the brainchild of notoriously egocentric George Lucas, the series is chock-full of hidden gems of knowledge and bits of Lucas's personal life.



Here are 19 fascinating facts about the Star Wars universe that aren't all that well known.

Yep-I once had COWS in my front yard- True Story!

Last weekend- I was showing the House and yard to a friend and was reminded of the time when I had COWS in the front yard.

TRUE STORY- One night in May of 2009 Krissy came running the bedroom and told me- "Honey, there is a cow in the front yard!" Well I of course said- "WHAT?" and went and looked- sure enough- there was a COW- about 8 of the actually.

I of course grabbed the camera and shot some pictures- knowing no one would believe me without them. The COWS feasted on some of our folliage and left behind a few "presents".




COWS

Krissy called the Police and they of course did not believe her at first but a few minutes later called back. Seems the Farmer that lost the calls had called them asking if anyone had reported seeing them.

Krissy- while talking to the dispatcher- saw them driving in the neighborhood. She agreed to go meet them and help corral the COWS.

My country girl!



In the end it became a fun story to share from time to time. Of course Nora slept throught the whole thing.

Now that's a pit stop!

Pack it up and ship it back Kids! Prince says “The Internet’s completely over,”

I think The Purple One is really living "in Prince world".

Not only is the internet over but he went on to say- “The Internet’s like MTV,” Prince concludes. “At one time, MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good.”

Last time I checked- MILLIONS of people have devices that connect to the internet.

Going by that logic- I guess driving cars is "completely over" too!

I wish that worked against bugs and stuff

My Smoochie- Nora to her Mother- has a new obsession.   It used to be Caillou-

He was a little whiney but tolerable.

Now- OMG- she likes this--  

                                                    DORA THE EXPLORER!!!

IT' S SOOOO ANNOYING!!!  all the yelling and general stupidness- (yes that's a word in my world)

One thing is kind of entertaining- when they are on their adventure there is always a part where they have to watch out for  Swiper the Fox!
                    He likes to "swipe" things and keep them.
They are able to foil him by saying loud three times- SWIPER, NO SWIPING!
then he stops and exclaims- "OOHH MAN!!!  and walks away.

I wish that worked on other things.  Wouldn't it be great to just yell at the gabby annoying person at the office-
ANNNOY-ER NO ANNOYING!
ANNNOY-ER NO ANNOYING!
ANNNOY-ER NO ANNOYING!

and then they just said-  "OOHH MAN!!! - and went away.

THAT would be pretty awesome!!
