So, just give this bathtub a phone call, and it will call you back when it is ready!  Actually pretty cool, although how many people NEED a bath the instant they walk in the door on a regular basis.  What would be cooler is a bathtub that maintains a constant temperature for a long time, like a hottub, but bathtub sized. And without chlorine/bromine. Whatever, just check out the tub!

Ahh, the disability of being bald… now there is help at baldhat.com where you can buy a hat that says “I’M BALD” Excerpt:

Sooner or later, some Maitre d' will call you aside and whisper, "Excuse me sir ... the CAP?" Or that special someone will get sick of hearing how 90% of ones body heat escapes though the head.

It may be time to advertise your disablity— just like those blind people with their dark glasses and dogs. Act as though you've got nothing to be ashamed of and let them decide for themselves whether or not to waste any time on you. And if they choose to stay, now they know what they're in for.

This is older, but still funny.  Excerpts:

It is best to stick with the protection AOL provides, rather than using a home based solution. …

Popular hacker software includes "Comet Cursor", "Bonzi Buddy" and "Flash". …

If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD" this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of America processor chips. …

If your son spends more than thirty minutes each day on the computer, he may be using it to DOS other peoples sites. …

Quake is an online virtual reality used by hackers. It is a popular meeting place and training ground, where they discuss hacking and train in the use of various firearms. …

Even when confronted, your son will probably find it difficult to talk about this problem to you. He will probably claim that there is no problem, and that you are imagining things. …

Anywhoo, I got a chuckle out of it :)

What does it say about society when a family needs to change a photo of their kidnapped daughter to get help finding their daughter… Excerpts:

It turns out that Francine's family had doctored the photo released to police and the media in order to make her "more appealing" and spur a wider rescue effort. In the picture, she is a perky, cute blonde girl somewhat resembling Lindsay Lohan.

"In actuality, Francine is neither perky nor blonde," said a grim-faced Perry. "In fact, her picture is mainly a testament to her father's skills with Photoshop."

And

"Our viewership drops fifteen percent every time we show the real picture of this girl," said Umbridge. "I'm sorry, but CNN has journalistic standards, you know. At least put a wig on the poor girl."

And no, I don't have the photos, and I couldn't find the article on cnn.com

Three Doctors were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed.

The first one said, "I'm the best surgeon in Texas. A concert pianist lost 7 fingers in an accident, I reattached them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England."

The second doctor said, "That's nothing. A young man lost both arms and legs in an accident, I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a gold medal in field events in the Olympics."

The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a cowboy who was high on cocaine and alcohol rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the horse's ass and a cowboy hat. Now he's president of the United States."

You can go watch the crappy slideshow at Forbes.com, which actually has some interesting points, but is still a slideshow, or you can read their estimation here:

Final Cost: $3,365,449

The Training: $30,000
The Suit: $1,585
The Belt: $290
The Car: $2,000,000
The Cave: $24,000
The Alter Ego: $1,109,574
The Butler: $200,000

And that is “Per Year” on a few of the costs. I find it interesting that the belt was even put on there, it seems like the “Gadgets” would have been much better to use.  And also: $1,500 for a suit!?! That’s WAY cheap!  I would have figured $15,000.

Anyways, I also saw The Forbes Fictional Fifteen, which is pretty cool as well, but I disagree with the Thurston Howell III ranking for the following reasons

A) They say the Millionaire and his wife, not the Billionaire and his wife

B) A Three hour tour on that boat?  If he really is a Billionaire (or even a 50 millionaire for that matter), he is on his own boat, which would kick the minnow’s tail.

From the Monster Engine website:

The Monster Engine is a book, a demonstration/lecture, and a gallery exhibition. The premise for all three came from one single question:

What would a child's drawing look like if it were painted realistically?

IMHO, this is useless in any sort of sociological context, however, the art is pretty neat to look at. Go to the art page to see the pictures.

Uh, all I have to say is that their plan in this article is so different than the general views on prostitution in the US.

Favorite section in the article:

“In Dortmund we have an official red light district on the outskirts, but there is a problem. There is not enough space for everyone to park.”

Dortmund plans to arrange the Dutch-designed huts, which have been introduced in the city of Cologne, another World Cup venue, in an area with condom machines and snack bar.

Yes! A snack bar! Whoohoo!
