1. Remember Martti Ahtisaari, who won it last year?! Exactly. The committee got the memo.

Click the photo for pure awesomeness.  Pirates attempted to overtake a Navy ship and no, it’s not the Onion.

Thanks god there are dedicated citizens like this looking out for the rest of us.

Every so often you find a new website that you can spend an entire day on.  This is one of them.  Here’s a few samples.Seriously, one of the best sites ever. GO THERE now and waste a day.

Click the image or HERE and read the description and the comments.  Here’s a couple gems:WHENEVER I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE CAPS LOCK KEY IN THE PAST, A LITTLE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT LIGHT WAS JESUS TRYING TO GET AT MY BRAIN. BUT ONCE I LET HIM IN AND BURNED ALL MY BOOKS AND CONDOMS, I REALIZED THAT THE ONLY CHRISTIAN WAY TO WRITE IS IN ALL CAPS. OTHERWISE THE HOLY SPIRIT WON’T GET ACROSS TO ANYBODY!THIS IS A FANTASTIC BOOK BUT MY BOOKSHELF IS A BIT SPARSE AS AFTER READING IT I BURNED ALL MY OTHER BOOKS, INCLUDING THE BIBLES AS THEY WERE WRITTEN PARTIALLY IN LOWERCASE LETTERS, OR AS I LIKE TO CALL THEM, THE DEVIL’S RUNES. CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND ME A GOOD ALLCAPS BIBLE?..PROS:1) A REAL EYE OPENER, I USED TO USE MY 10 SCREAMING UNDERFED KIDS AS A EXCUSE FOR ALCOHOLISM BUT NOW; I VIEW IT AS A BLESSING FROM GOD AS WELL.2) WELL WRITTEN.3) VERY AFFORDABLE.CONS:1) WEIGHS SLIGHTLY MORE THAN OTHER BOOKS WRITTEN WITH LOWERCASE LETTERS.

This made me laugh when a coworker sent me the link.Prolly wont be able to update much in the next couple days as I’m in a class.

I need to work on some life saving hair.

Several years ago my friend Turkey D (RIP) brought in the mp3s for this cd of pranks and we laughed our asses off at every one of them.  Just look at this pretense:

From the CD liner:Every day for a year, Matt Besser answered around a dozen “wrong number” phone calls made to his apartment. These strangers believed they were calling a technical support operator in Houston, Texas, but actually they had neglected to dial the 1 before the area code. Instead of instructing his fellow Manhattanites of the honest mistake they had made, he decided to help them with their computer problems and record their phone calls. Just to make sure that what goes around comes around.

And remember, they called him.

Four of the mp3s are on this page here.  Sooooo funny.

The funniest Rick Roll I’ve seen.  It’s done so well.  Kurt is probably rolling in his grave though.

Man this is awesome.
