Thank you Verizon. Thank you. I just wanted to congratulate you for “accidentally” cutting through my Brighthouse Networks fiber optics line today cutting Internet services off for about 4,000 people including me! It took about 6 hours to restore service. That is one way to kill the competition Verizon. Way to go.

I found this article to be amusing yet true. To those pesky Facebook users out there who fall under these categories please take a hint. We have the ‘add as many friends as we can’ user along with the ‘dramatic status updater’ user. Perhaps they aren’t as annoying as the ’self promoting’ user. Yes, we all know one of those. The user we never want to think about especially for you ladies is the “stalker”. The guy who looks at your profile in the anonymity of Facebook land constantly keeping track of your every move.

Everyone has a busy week and an overloaded schedule mixed with a lapse of motivation. Classes have been keeping me on my toes and I have been predominately a burn out the last two weeks. [and no not a burn out like you are thinking] In other words I’m tired and need a break. But stress relieving posts like these help as annoying as they are to my readers. Let’s do this now what do ya say..

Glowing salamanders are just as cool as glowing cats.

An update to a previous post to those glow in the dark twin felines [which the picture is no longer showing up on the original post] so I will get a new one for all of you to have with your pet salamander. Enjoy.

Nuclear reactions aren’t as mysterious to science today as they were back in the 1940’s. Louis Slotin experimented in the laboratory with his bare hands discovering the fickle state of the little known science with fatal consequences.

In fact, that’s what Louis Slotin was doing, slowly lowering the top half of a neutron-reflecting shell over a sphere of fissile plutonium. Today, nobody would attempt that experiment except from a safe distance. Slotin, however, was using his bare hands to hold the shell, and had a screwdriver propped in there to keep the two halves from touching.

Slotin’s accident occurred when the two halves touched. He quickly pulled them apart but unfortunately he died soon thereafter from radioactive effect.

Dead car battery? Bottle of red wine laying around? Mix the two and a few minutes later..enough energy to start car. [Oh and it will also probably ruin your battery.] Distilled water will also work if you want to drink the wine.

The disco Storm Trooper can bust a move with his gold psychedelic helmet and white tux. Take that Jedi Knights. Why do I get this feeling that Chuck Norris is under there in disguise? Thanks Geek Orthodox.

This iPhone app has got it going…literally. The “Love Vibes” app has the ability to measure and score love making in the act. Does anyone else find this app creepy? Apparently, the app senses vibrations and is able to interpret how well someone is performing. My question is: Where does the phone have to be to record the “data”? Perfect gift for the self conscious, over protective, annoyingly geeky guy.

Halloween’s scariest twins. You know how it goes. You see them staring at you in the hallway, you see them watching you in your sleep. They stare and stare…sometimes chant. They talk in unison. They are evil.
