Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Wow. I just read a Snopes article that would have been rather unremarkable, except for a bit at the bottom. The story goes that someone told the New York Post that Michelle Obama was busily gorging herself on expensive room service food at the hotel while Barack Obama was giving a speech. So, without checking …

Oh boy. Now we have a potted plant with a blog. Damn it to hell, the blog is in Japanese, and there’s no link to it that I can find in the news story. But the idea is dumb. The plant, oh, sorry, it has a name, Midori-san, has sensors on it that record light …
>Damn! Usually, we have stories of dumb criminals, but this one is brilliant! A guy decided to rob an armoured truck. I guess he thought a good disguise would be a dust mask, respirator, yellow vest, safety goggles and a blue shirt. But then he thought he’d be too obvious. So what did he do? …
It’s too bad blane dickinson, the guy who wanted to tattoo breakfast on someone’s head, didn’t meet Marcos Paiz, someone willing to allow his torso to be used as a practice space by tattoo artists, so much so that he posted an ad on Craigslist saying so. But I guess Dickinson did want to tattoo …

It’s calledMail Goggles,and it works likethis. When enabled, Mail Goggles kicks in at the time you specify (default is between 10 …

Here’s the sequel to the whole filtering out sites that seem to have obscene words in them saga. Now, some numbnut was ordered to go through the Tampa fire station computers looking for evidence that firefighters were looking at porn. How were they doing this? They were looking for files that contained the words “gay,” …
That was a cobbled translation of “The Internet is a series of tubes” into Italian. I don’t know how well I did, I used Babelfish after all. This is a warning to all bloggers in Italy. your blog could send you to jail. Yeah, a judge as uninformed as Ted Stevens decided that since a …
First we had the Nigerian scam. Now, apparently, for the terminally stupid among us who don’t understand the phrase “once bitten, twice shy, we have the Nigerian metascam. This email example collected by Snopes is, well, spectacular. Observe.
