Saturday, September 10, 2005 Digital Mohammed. The jihad goes electric. I wonder how long it is before we see the christian version of this. The low-risk Yusufali-A Trojan horse monitors the websites Windows users are visiting. If the malware sees one of a set of trigger words (such as "teen", "sex" or "penis") in the url it minimises the window so the user cannot see its content and displays a message from the Koran instead. @ 06:05 PM CST [Link] Friday, September 9, 2005 Rejected soda flavors. Some funny ones in here. See: Wikipedia entry on vegemite. I've had it before, its friggin terrible. @ 08:15 PM CST [Link] Wednesday, September 7, 2005 Top 10 google earth hotspots. Pretend you're superman planning a vacation. Most of google's suggestions are pretty bland so I made my own top 8. I got too tired to hit 10, as a lot of these sites are hard to track down. A lot of these death mansions get their addresses changed in hopes of selling them off and discouraging nuts. I couldn't find Kurt Cobain's final home nor where in Mexico City William S. Burroughs shot his wife. Of course you'll need to download and install google earth to get started. Once installed you can just run these .kmz files and fly off to your morbid destination. Where John Lennon was shot to death. Where John Dillinger was shot to death. Where Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde remain for eternity. The Heaven's Gate mansion. The infamous Jonestown. Where James Dean crashed and died. The apartment Bob Crane was found dead in. The site of the torn down 'Manson Family' mansion. Kids, just say no to Kool-Aid. @ 08:51 PM CST [Link] Monday, September 5, 2005 The Nazi chocolate hand grenade. Hard to believe, but what didn't the Nazis try? "Vee shall keel dem vit shocolate!" The weapons, such as the chocolate hand-grenade, designed to explode after the first row of chunks was broken off, were part of a campaign to undermine British resolve using sabotage and propaganda. The bomb-makers were nothing if not ingenious. As well as packing explosives into cans of Smedley's English Grown Plums, the Nazis disguised plastic explosive as Wagon-Lits soap, hid detonators in torch batteries, and made exploding crucifixes, an incendiary Thermos flask and an exploding rat. @ 08:34 AM CST [Link] Odd Alice in Wonderland photo gallery. @ 08:30 AM CST [Link] Pshop gallery of places you normally wouldn't expect a robot. A low signal to noise ratio here, but there are a few really good ones. When robot wives became effective and affordable, the Amish had a change of mind. @ 08:28 AM CST [Link] [Archives] Search entries:
