News Anchor’s April Fool’s Joke Sends Co-Host Walking Off Set

Reporter gets pwned by an iPhone.

The Coast Guard is changing its official assumed average weight per individual from 160 to 185 pounds of American flab, shifting the legal limit of how many people are allowed on a commercial vessel. For instance, NPR reports, "A boat rated for a 16,000-pound capacity would be allowed to carry 86 people under the new rule, compared with 100 that are OK under the current standard.

Scariest car crash video ever… (actually happened in NC)

I posted this in the shoutbox, but now it has been confirmed this is an authentic video. So as not to spoil the scary part of the crash I won’t post the picture and info that confirms it, rather i’ll just post the link.

Video:

2x4 through my windshield…

Gill the 2x4 video must be real because they showed it on CNN.

Apparently the US & Canada have more Houck’s than Germany. WTF?

Yup, its real, as confirmed by Jalopnik!

Fresh for today:

http://www.baconcologne.com

No longer do you have to dribble bacon down your chin to get a hint of pig on your throat—perfumers Fargginay have invented bacon cologne which has a mix of 11 essential oils in both the Gold (citrus) and Classic (spicy maple) variants, which cost $36 each.

So the FBI has this ‘Vault’ where you can go and look up old FBI files on old timey gangsters and even Osama Bin Laden (http://vault.fbi.gov/osama-bin-laden/osama-bin-laden-part-1-of-1/view)

They uploaded PDF’s of case files. Its pretty cool to browse through and read about John Dillinger or '‘Baby Face’ Nelson. Looking at John Dillingers file, there are soo many snitches (of course they blacked out the names) and there is soo much going on about this guy…

http://vault.fbi.gov/John%20Dillinger%20/John%20Dillinger%20Part%201%20of%203/view

Anyways, an exciting way to waste a few hours.

I bet bacon cologne keeps away terrorists. I heard one time a bus company in Israel hung bacon on the bus, & terrorist quit getting on that bus line.

Why black out informants on John Dellinger? They’re all dead. You can’t whack a dead person.

Oh hell Ted Kennedy. There’s a Mary Jo Kopechne file.

Blahahaha SCK…

What you're seeing in the image below is a word cloud, modeled after commercials for boy's and girl's toys. Stark differences laid bare, and all that. I imagine many of the commercials that Crystal over at Boys, Masculinity, and Gender Stereotypes had to watch had their fair share of pinks, blue, hair brushing and explosions too, but again, this is fairly obvious stuff. What's interesting are the specific words that advertisers are repeatedly using to target your children, based on their gender. Battle! Power! Love! Babies!

FBI Admits to Aliens?

So normally, Roswell NM isn’t something I usually investigate much. I’ll let the conspiracy theorists do that (who by the way have known about this for ages). However, when my Dad hears about this through an Indian news channel beaming via dish from India… This is getting out of hand…

Here is a link to one of the millions of articles you’ll find about this:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/11/fbi-vault-aliens_n_847495.html

As you may have seen in one of my previous posts, the FBI has a website called the ‘vault’ where you can access files that since the Freedom of Info act you are allowed to view. People have been able to do this forever, but the feds have posted select files online because of their popularity more recently. More files to come apparently. The file that has gotten people excited (well really the media has hyped like they usually do):
http://vault.fbi.gov/hottel_guy/Guy%20Hottel%20Part%201%20of%201/view

I’ll let you decide for yourself, but to me it seems like a field office took down in a report a complaint/tip from an informant. Not that I don’t believe in some kind of extra terrestrial life forms or anything, just don’t buy into the government conspiracy and alien landings etc bit.

The truth is out there.

Legal disclaimers at the end of emails are usually worthless:

Many disclaimers are, in effect, seeking to impose a contractual obligation unilaterally, and thus are probably unenforceable. This is clear in Europe, where a directive from the European Commission tells the courts to strike out any unreasonable contractual obligation on a consumer if he has not freely negotiated it. And a footer stating that nothing in the e-mail should be used to break the law would be of no protection to a lawyer or financial adviser sending a message that did suggest something illegal.

Chickipedia: A wikipedia for hot chicks :smiley:

http://www.mademan.com/chickipedia/

Mainly SFW: Has hot women is non-nude pictures and info like this:

There are a lot of models who pay their rent because a benevolent, all-loving god bestowed upon them massive, natural breasts. Voted #23 in the AskMen.com's Top 99 Women 2009 Edition. She's gorgeous.

Lucy was spotted by freelance photographer Lee Earle while sunbathing on Bournemouth beach in the summer of 2003. As a result of the photographs taken that day, she signed a professional modeling contract with The Daily Star. For the first 3 years of her career, unlike most glamour models, Lucy did not pose fully topless; she eventually did so for the weekly UK lads’ mag Nuts on the 6th of April 2007.

This was followed with a nude photo set in the August 2007 issue of the monthly magazine Loaded. She also appeared Page 3 in July and August for The Daily Star on a weekly basis. Lucy regularly appears as a Nuts covergirl, she is argueably the most popular amongst the readers, writes a column called “The Truth about Women” every week and also presents on TV. She has regularly appeared in Loaded since that famous topless photo shoot, and links to galleries from both magazines can be found below. Recently, Lucy appeared on season six of “Celebrity Big Brother” in the UK.
