Waiting for 4 GB of files to decompress at work gives an opportunity to do up a post. Let’s hope the boss isn’t reading this.
Getting it on
In case you don’t remember, last week’s entry’s first two entries were about someone being shot at for refusing to kiss, and that studies show that sex raises your risk of heart attack. Perhaps it has become a habit, but the first article is related to this topic again. It turns out that there’s some bugger with such an itch in his groin that he spent over 228k USD on hookers. Apparently he had over 3000 nights of fun. It’d be a miracle if he hasn’t caught something.
+1 warriors rejoice
Except that this +1 is of a slightly different nature. Google comes up with this +1 feature that’s sort of like the Like button we see in Facebook. The idea is that the user can recommend the search results, improving the search and all. But then again, one will only know how good the result is after going to the page and away from the search results (unless you’re like me and open everything in new tabs). Maybe it’s not so brilliant after all. But perhaps +1 warriors in certain pointless forums can expend their urge to +1 in another way.
USBattery
So we have this gadget that is a battery with a USB port. Confusing is whether the thing is recharged via USB, or that it powers USB devices. But it looks cool.
BSOD strikes 3DS
Apparently some people are getting a BSOD (B for Black) on their Nintendo 3DS’es. Perhaps we should move away from colours that start with the letter B for fatal error screens next time, so we can have new acronyms. Perhaps worse colour combinations too. Green on purple. So we have more than one reason to cringe at the sight of the error screen.
Snake tweets
A witty twitter user is entertaining people by tweeting an escaped cobra’s “thoughts”. While people are being reassured by the zoo that the cobra isn’t going to sample the arse of someone taking a crappe in the loo, it does seem irritating that the iPhone is given a seal of approval by even a reptile, by saying that it works with a tail.
Angry Eagle
Makes us wish we had the power eagle in the following video for our Angry Birds games.
Angry Birds cause Pork Shortage, perhaps
And not all of the pigs that got blown up by the birds become filling for your meat bun. That’s why we use cardboard too.

Let’s hope that didn’t ruin your appetite.
