RIP Colin McRae

The Times on Colin McRae
I didn't get to see him race much, but I do know he brought a lot to to rally racing and will be missed.

Colin McRae's tragic death last week has robbed motorsport of one of it's most charismatic and daring competitors...he will always be remembered for his titanic struggle with Spanish driver Carlos Sainz to become the first Briton to win the World Rally Championship in 1995 with an epic victory in the final round at the RAC Rally of Great Britain.

Ok, this might get me back

I'm hearing 320hp and 320ft-lbs of torque.

Salt Water = Fuel?

John Kanzius happened upon the discovery accidentally when he tried to desalinate seawater with a radio-frequency generator he developed to treat cancer. He discovered that as long as the salt water was exposed to the radio frequencies, it would burn.

Big oil may soon have to kiss my salty rusted tailpipe.

Jam in your Pocket

Jam Sessions
Now all of you who don't have the DS will be a little sadder. Jam Sessions is guitar for the DS that you play on the touch pad.

You change chords with the D-pad. The stylus can be strummed soft or hard, fast or slow. And the responsiveness was impressive, especially considering you're playing a pocket-sized system.

Go Southwest

The Accuser: Southwest Airlines
The Victim Kyla Ebbert... You be the Judge
Southwest Airline tells woman her outfit won't fly
Southwest again distinguishes itself from other airline by not letting attractive people fly the unfriendly skies. Ground breaking business plans: first cattle call , now high school dress code enforcers. I've seen flight attendants with uniforms that were way to tight and no one told them to stop rubbing there fat asses on every innocent aisle seat customer or go home and change. Nice job Southwest, you get the LT questionable business practice of the week. Here are the links to Jet Blue and Virgin America for the smarter consumers.

The Yougoogley of Pea Mouth Chub

RIP Pea Mouth Chub
The Chub (pictured in red) has left the building due to outsiders revealing his "secret shady life". He enjoyed 42 inch 1080p LCD flat panels TVs, video games involving vehicle theft, and doing blow off of hookers butts. He will be remembered for not really contributing to society and not caring that much about animal spaying and neutering.
His last last words were, "yeah... I don't know.... I like my drinks cheap and my women Furries"
