Dog-Powered Vehicles Finally Arrive!

Ever dream of a world where humans are pulled around in carts by dogs, and never have to bother walking again? Well, thanks to useless technology and the good folks at Neatorama we have arrived at your dreamland.

Yes, a new super steering apparatus (pictured above) allows you to attach your dog to your scooter, bike or skateboard so he can pull you along. Everyone wins, really. The dog gets exercise, you get no exercise, and humans strike another blow at the oncoming canine overthrow many have feared for years.

Inspiration for the Joker?

I came across a disturbing video today. Check it  out for yourselves.

Wow.

Man Kills a Child with 'Mortal Kombat' Move, Pleads Guilty

Posted by Sinden Lee - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 9:31 AM

This is so beyond stupid and negligent, it's truly sad to report....

Two teens have been charged as adults and accused of beating a seven year old girl to death while imitating the 'Mortal Kombat' video game.

Lamar Roberts, 18 years old and his girlfriend, Heather Trujillo, 17 years old, were babysitting her half-sister, Zoe Garcia, at her home, when they were wrestling, karate kicking, punching and goofing off.

However, court records also indicate that a witness saw Roberts kick and body slam Garcia, but didn't realize how severe his hits were because he was drunk.

Garcia lost consciousness.

The couple tried to wake her up by placing her in the bathtub, even cracking an egg in the child's mouth to make sure she "wasn't messing with them."

Autopsy report found Garcia with a broken wrist, 20 bruises and bleeding under the spine and in her brain.

Roberts has pleaded guilty to child abuse-knowingly/recklessly causing death, and Garcia's half-sister pleaded guilty to child abuse-negligently causing death. However, Trujillo's prison sentence is suspended if she completes six years in youth offender center (for teens who have committed a violent juvenile crime).

Again, this is a case that has nothing to do with a video game, but a person who clearly lacked good judgment. Karate kicking and punching a seven-year old is never a good idea.

MILK Review.

Out of 5 stars, I award this film 6.

What Gus Van Sant, Sean Penn and a brilliant cast have done here is Outstanding, Triumphant and Necessary.

This film doesn't just tug at your heart strings, it exposes your eyes, your ears, and at that instant your hearts to a poignant matter. It sits you down in order to allow you to grasp a deeper, more complete understanding of the history of the Gay Rights Issue. More than that, it allows you to identify with the prevalent human struggle for understanding, freedom and acceptance but above all, the basic, innate compulsion for love. This film's message goes beyond the Gay Rights Issue, It's about the humanity, It's about acknowledgment, It's about recognition, It's about acceptance, It's about hope. Not just for any one minority but for everyone. Do not miss this film! Despite whichever side of the fence you stand, watch this film and consume it's message.  Let it weigh your character, Let it measure your heart and I can only pray it finds you wanting equality.

Please, I proudly implore you, go out and see it. 

People.

Why try? 

Life.

In the eternal words of Jim Stark, "Life can be beautiful."

But only if you make it so. 

Today I start my new job and it's given me kind of boost

or a kick in the ass, so to say, and I done sitting on the

sidelines. It's time to pursue the things and the people

I want. Today is a brand new day and like Jim Stark

I'm not going to waste it.

Hunger.

It's been two whole days now, without food. I'm so hungry it literally hurts

I broke down and ate a bunch of my friends food on thanksgiving.

But since then, nothing.

I've been eating mints and gum to distract me from the hunger

Sleeping and surfing the net help too. But i wake up in pain.

I feel bad eating all my friends food but I have no money

I don't start work until wednesday.

I must feed! pant*................
