Does Smoking Marijuana Make You Smarter?

According to an article regarding cannabis and the brain at the website, NORML:
“Preclinical data recently published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation demonstrating that cannabinoids may spur brain cell growth has reignited the international debate regarding the impact of marijuana on the brain…Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon found that the administration of [...]

Freakin’ Donkey-Butt Comment Spammers!!!

Okay, I try not to cuss in this blog, so you can replace “Freakin’” and “donkey-butt” with words of your choice.
One of the things you have to contend with when you put something on the internet and then open it up to comments from the public are spammers, or people who will only comment on [...]

Battlestar Galactica…Saves Marriages

According to married couple, Adam Berliant and Martha Brockenbrough of MSN’s TV News, the sci-fi television show, Battlestar Galactica, could save your marriage.  Or at least it will give you something to watch together.  The article starts out, “Remote-control couch fights are an ugly thing.”

How to Destroy or Control Online Information about You

I came across an interesting article called Do You Need a Web Publicist? which talks about the ways to both organize and control online information about yourself.
“The Internet has matured to a point where so much of one’s life is online that some people need methods of self-promotion and self-protection, concepts usually associated with the imagemakers [...]

I Saw Asimo the Robot!

I’m obssessed with robots.  I want a learning, interactive, thinking, automated robot to help out with chores around the house (hey — we could call it Lita!).  I don’t see that happening in my lifetime, but I did get to see the prototype Saturday of what may eventually become the kind of robot I can only [...]

Best Porn Spam Comment Ever

I get a lot of comments on this site that are advertisers looking to generate links to their own pages.  Most are either car dealerships or porn sites (equally sleazy, in my opinion).
Usually, the automatically generated comment is 1 of 3 things:

Cool.
Interesting.
Sorry

Or it will be some sort of gibberish generated by a robot somewhere [...]

Jet-Powered Outhouse-mobile

Forget showy roadsters and souped-up muscle cars.  If you feel the need for speed combined with a desire to stand out from the crowd, then there really is only one choice…the speeding outhouse:
“Some folks like to take their time on the can. Not Paul Stender. When the 43-year-old former pit mechanic feels the need for [...]

Steve Jobs Freaks Out (But Not Really)

As regular readers know (or maybe don’t), I now run a fashion blog over at justaformality.com.  In searching for content for that blog, I came across a couple of articles that would be interesting for this blog, even for people who don’t give a crap about fashion.  The first one is a farcical interview between fashion journalist, Steven Heller, and [...]

When Death is Funny

I meant to post this around Halloween, so pretend like it’s a few days ago — lol.  Goblinville.com has some twisted, humorous pages, including one for epitahs:
“Here lies hypochondriac Rick
For once he was right
When he said he was sick”
and one for famous last words:
“Hey y’all…watch this!”
