  Sorry I didn't post last night but I think I was bitten by a zombie or contracted ebola because those are the only plausible reasons because of how I felt last night.  Anyway I am better.  Would have done this sooner but Xanga had maintenance today.  Hopefully that all worked out for them.

  I was reading an article today about how apple seeds contain cyanide and eating an abundance of the seeds could kill you.  Well some people claimed it was a myth but it was true.  Anyway here are 7 food myths that people actually believe.  I love that myth about Twinkies.  I wonder how much that myth was accelerated by the Family Guy episode claiming Twinkies can survive nuclear holocaust or The Simpsons episode in which Homer says that when aged, the cream inside Twinkies ferments and makes a delicious alcohol drink.

  I ride the fence about my desire for children.  One day I think I would like to have a little dullard version of me and then other days I think the greatest crime committed would be if I procreated.  Well I read this article about 6 things they don't tell you about childbirth and after I woke up from fainting I started researching vasectomies.  If only having children was as easy as this video.

  You've seen plenty of commercials where celebrities endorse products.  Here are 5 of the most ill advised celebrity endorsements.  I find the Eric Clapton one hilarious.

  I love movies and something when I read plot summaries I get the idea what the movie will be like.  Sometimes the summary isn't a good way to describe the movie because the movie is horrible.  Anyway here are some plot summaries that are very uncomfortable and would make me not watch any of the movies.

  I was reading in ESPN Magazine about how a Japanese baseball team believed it was cursed because they threw a statue of Colonel Sanders in a bay near the stadium.  That got me thinking about how popular Kentucky Fried Chicken is in Asia.  Colonel Sanders has quite the following.

  Have you ever wondered what a Japanese bird cooking spaghetti looked like?  Well here it is.

  Fun games: Disorientation...now you can understand what it is like to live in the real world while taking LSD.  Sock and Awe...now you can be an Iraqi journalist and hurl your sandal at George Bush.  Even though it isn't a game, more of a quiz, it is fun to find out how long you could survive chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor. I survived a minute and a half.

  So MTV News is reporting that they are making a Hairspray 2 and from the sounds of the article it will be a darker movie.  Let's hope they get John Waters to bring his brand of absurdity into that movie.

  WikiAnswers has given me two great questions:  Did dinosaurs wear wooden condoms and Is it better to poop before or after anal sex?  Look out Yahoo Answers, the idiots may be migrating to Wikianswers!

  Twitter Links:  Not from Twitter but this screen shot proves that Shaq is not amused by Oprah being on Twitter.
  Celebrity Twitters: Courtney Love, Lady Gaga, Yoko Ono, something about Bob Dylan's songs, and the craziest four entries in Twitter history from Joaquin Phoenix. 
  
  This site isn't youtube, but if you want to watch something fun on youtube check out this video of the Leningrad Cowboys singing Sweet Home Alabama.  Thanks to MelFamy for sending me that link.  You revived my love of this group and the Red Army Choir.  I had a Russian history course and the professor played some music and I fell in love with the Russian style of harmonics.  Speaking of youtube, did you know they now feature movies, not good movies, but movies?  They have CLIFFHANGER!

  This is a hilarious story.  I don't know how you could get fooled into doing this.  Maybe that is why when I go to restaurants I only sit at the bar or I only pay with a card.

  You realize that in America we have such a wide variety of slang and sometimes it varies from city to city.  Well thanks to the Venerable one, he had this link posted from the City Dictionary describing a Brookfield Swirlie.  I thought that was actually the swirlie because that is what we did in grade school at the bubbler...yes the bubbler.  For some reason in certain places in Wisconsin the water has effervescence so there are bubbles amongst the water.

  Remember my Tournament of Randomocity?  It's in the championship game.  Anyway one of the Movie Badasses was Mark Borchardt from American Movie. In that movie his friend is Mike Schank.  Mike has found some love in Italy.  Thanks to the Venerable one.

  I am planning on doing a blog about this sometime this weekend but here are some slideshows of the most offensive signs found at those teabagging festivities.

  Some businesses fail because they have horrible logos and here are some horrible logos.  Speaking of logos, zoom in a couple times on this logo and tell me what you see transpiring in the alley.

  Chicago Public Radio has a weekly show called The Annoying Music Show.  Here are some samples.  Thanks to the Venerable one.

  I was a former minister and I avoided the door to door missionaries at all costs because it usually ended with shouting matches or them condemning me to Hell because I drank Pepsi or PBR.  Well I wish I had this on my door to keep away those missionaries.

  When we are young we sometimes do crazy thing.  Here is an article about the ten things that you do in your 20s that you will regret later in life.  But then I think I am still in my 20s for a brief period but my blog is slowly morphing into this one.

  Have you ever noticed that some people look the same in every picture that is taken of them?  Well here are some photos in which the person looks the same in every photo.  Be careful, it could cause seizures.

  Like it says, I thought this was something from The Onion.  I have heard of people getting busy in Burger King bathrooms(mini to anyone who gets the reference) but not orgies in a Taco Bell bathroom.   Why am I not surprised it is that couple who are up in arms about people having sex?

  Methinks someone likes cilantro a tad bit too much.

  Are you looking for a gym membership to shed that added winter bulk?  Well, check out this email exchange first.

  Here's an interesting article from NPR about what would happen if Marijuana was legalized.

  There are coaches out there who are good at firing up their players and then there is this guy.  He is coaching 6 and 7 year old girls soccer but what do you expect for a team called Green Death.

  Here is a slideshow of some of the greatest pranks of all time. 

  I think I saw this on Mancouch or the food ish site on Xanga but in case you missed it here is the actual article about the difference between the appearance of the advertised products and what you actually receive at fast food joints. 

  It's springtime so that means romance is in the air.

  I can't remember where I got this but here are the Top 10 sex laws in America.  Minnesota is part of #1, why do they have to take out all the fun of romance?

  Although I don't drunk dial anyone besides my parents which has led for some interesting conversations, I think this would be an excellent service for US mobile phone services.
  
  Let it load up and let Google Maps show you that it is perverted.

  A new favorite blog, Look at this fucking hipster.  They aren't quite like the hipsters of Minneapolis who had lumberjack beards and wore flannel shirts and then to be ironic they wore the Keffiyehs. 

  Well that is it for this week.  If you have anything you would like to share, send me an email.
