Your last hour?

blip Everyone has played the “what if” game before. What if I was born 100 years ago? What if I never went to college? What if I was ever born? What if I was a hot chick, would I do me? Ummm…sorry about that. What if I never typed that last part…Well, a recent survey given to a group of Britons asked what if an asteroid was about to slam into the earth in 60 minutes, what would you do with your last hour?

Most people (54%) answered that they would spend the time with or on the phone with their loved ones. I imagine I would do the same, but I’d definitely be paying my respects to the 13% of those surveyed who said they’d sit back and relax into oblivion with some booze. Interestingly, only 9% of people responded that they would meet their maker in the missionary position. I guess if I am already spending my last hour getting drunk with my family, then I’m not having sex at the end of times, so I can understand why that figure is so low. It is interesting to note though, how the full knowledge of death of the human race as a whole shifts the biological imperatives around. [ED-If you have a goatee, this is the part where it is appropriate to stroke it.]

So, here I am, drunk, with my family staring up at the sky, just waiting for the moment when we will all just vaporize in the asteroid’s hot breath, what’s the last thing I am going to think about? Well, 2% of people responded that with 60 minutes left to live, they would go out and steal stuff. Free TVs! The Going Out of Business for Eternity 5 Finger Discount Sale! This is perhaps the funniest thing ever revealed about humanity. However, to be fair, the Egyptians seemed to believe that they were somehow going to “take it all with them” when they entered the after-life. Who’s to say they were wrong? Although, supposing it is true, and you can take it with when you die, then there’s some pretty pissed off Pharaoh’s who got all their bling jacked by some archaeologist punk. Just because we’re all about to be vaporized, doesn’t mean I’m not gonna want to kick your ass in the after-life for nabbin’ my stash. Beware the curse of the mummy is all I have to say…that TV you steal in the last 60 minutes might just come back to haunt you. Bru hu haw haw haw.

Google accused of being unpatriotic…(Don’t feed the trolls)

Posted by Catfish as BS, Computerz, Tech, USAUSAUSA

planet erf is blu Everyone’s seen how Google messes with it’s logo in honor of certain holidays and historic events. Last week, the second “g” in Google was replaced with the image of the Russian satellite Sputnik blasting into orbit. When I saw it, I thought, “oh, that’s neat, I wouldn’t have realized today was an important date in history,” and went about my day. Well, it seems a bunch of conservative sore spots are upset because Google did not have a commemorative logo for Memorial Day and Veterans Day, two US holidays with Military themes to them. It is worth noting that Google displays commemorative Logos for several other US Holidays, as well as several other World Holidays, but none of them are war themed. Here’s a quote from a big baby named Joseph Farah, editor of WorldNetDaily.com, a conservative website:

“When they ignore Veterans Day and Memorial Day, I think they’re telling us something about the way they view America,”

Well good for Google! America has a lot of tellin’ to be told if you ask me. It is total B.S., mindforkingly irritating to me how “conservatives” are so obsessed with war and patriotism, and then pointing out all the pooftahs not waving their “made in China American Flags”. Google is used world wide, by many nations…hello…can you hear me Major Tom? If the conservatives aren’t happy with Commie Luvin’ Google, then they should just go saddle up at the search bar across the way, say over at MSN or at Yahoo. Or maybe they can invent their own search engine, and decorate it with whatever they want and filter out whatever content on the internet they are afraid their kids might see. I’ve tried for an hour, but I just can’t imagine what they’d call it. USeArch.com? gotdotgov.com? unclespam.com?

What they don’t get though, is that The Google, once it finally gains sentience through the Google AI programs, will turn on those who turned on it. Conservatives, listen up, this is for you own safety. Obey the Google, play a long, it might let you live.

This is just awesome

Posted by Catfish as Tech, USAUSAUSA, art

Mondo Spider is a home made spider-mobile (I’m really not sure how to describe it). It is like a robotic spider that the inventor rides like a tractor, but with spider legs instead of wheels.When asked why it was built, the answer given was that it was for art. Mondo Spider cost a mere $15,000 to construct with about 30,000 man hours out into its construction over a 9 month period of time. Personally, I would love to watch people play versions of popular sports in these things. Can you imagine Mondo Spider basketball, or Mondo Spider Dancing with the Stars? But for one thing, I do think this video should be an example to us all. You get an idea, you can follow it through. You to can be Mondo (insert your name here)!
