Jobs takes over Disney!

Well.. his first step towards taking them over at any rate.

Disney and Pixar officially announced that Disney will be paying Steve (and, the rest of the Pixar stockholders) about 7 billion dollars to have Steve come take them over… err.. I mean to have Pixar merge with Disney Animation.

Steve goes from being the largest individual shareholder in Pixar, to being the largest individual shareholder in Disney, and a seat on their board (next step, CEO.. probably by Disney’s next annual shareholder thingy)

Here’s the link to CNN’s article on Pixar taking over Disney =)

Love hurts

Or in this case… it kills!

This poor guy will never get a date again. Can you imagine the conversation?

Girl: “So, how come you and your last girlfriend aren’t still together?”

Guy: “Umm.. I killed her”

Girl: “Uhh..I gotta go wash my hair or something”

Now personally, I would think that if your girlfriend was allergic to peanuts… that you would be a little more careful what snacks you were eating around here.. or, at least always have a bottle of mouthwash handy if you just can’t resist the Reese’s Peanut Butter cups (and really, who can resist those.. yummy!)

New Clothing

Japan appears to have come up with a solution to their energy problems.. see, they are asking people to just turn the heat down in their office buildings/homes/etc..

I hear you asking now “But, how will those poor Japanese people stay all warm and toasty this winter if they turn the heat down?” The answer is right here.

Yes, the Japanese have invented a heated bra! No more waking up in the morning, and having to worry about your boobs being cold all day, just throw the pads in the microwave for a few seconds..then throw ’em back in the bra.. and toasty warm breasts..and if they get chilly again? just whip those pads back out.. toss ’em in the microwave in the break room.. and then reinsert! What could be more simple?

Uhh..seriously.. do you girls really worry that much about the temperature of your boobs? First, we had the bikini that was supposed to keep your boobs cold, now we have the bra to keep them warm. If you’re indecisive, do you sew the two together and have one cold boob and one warm boob?

I mean.. c’mon.. I’m a big fan of boobs..but I think its gone a little far when you’re designing special garments to adjust their temperature.. you don’t see air conditioned or heated Men’s underwear now do you?

Go Danica!

Not only is Danica Patrick the only woman Indy race car driver, rookie of the year.. and cute.. she can apparently beat up the male drivers as well (or, at least one of them). It seems that after she was involved in a wreck in the last race of the season, she rode to the hospital with the other driver (who she claims caused the crash) Lazier (the other drive) initially claimed that Danica punched him in the head while in the ambulance… apparently, he came to his sense, and realized, that he had just admitted that not only is a girl a better driver then him, but that she beat him up too… and has since changed his story to agree with Danica’s statement about poking him in the head… SI’s article on it is here..

Hmmm…. maybe I should add Danica to the list of possible names for Vegas…

Take that RIAA!

HA! its finally happened… someone is Counter-suing RIAA! Take that you bastards!

Read more about it here.. Seems in addition to being the (4th?) person to actually fight the RIAA charges instead of just folding and giving the RIAA money.. she’s now become the first person to counter sue under the RICO act (its the law that makes organized crime and racketeering illegal) and claims that they illegally entered her computer to get information.

I can’t wait to see how this one plays out…

Crazy Brits

Apparently, a British hospital has cured all medical problems facing their society.. The reason I say this? This article over at the BBC. It appears, that the British have now decided that cooing at a baby is a violation of baby rights, and therefore.. is now banned at at least one hospital.

Debbie Lawson, neo-natal manager at the hospital’s special care baby unit, said: “Cooing should be a thing of the past because these are little people with the same rights as you or me.

Uhh..yeah.. Moron.. here’s a quick newsflash for you.. Babies love the attention! and if its such an infringement on their rights..how come none of them complain?

Odd Criminal

So.. I go to work tonight.. and the first thing I’m given from Sarah..is this link. It involves the police arresting a man who chased a few women through a park, while naked and masturbating (the man..the women apparently were fully clothed).

I have a question regarding this quote:

Police arrested a man who they say jumped out from behind a bush, shouted “I’m naked,” and then chased two women down a street.

Umm…if you’re naked when you jump out of the bush..really, what’s the point in having to announce it? Is that incase they weren’t sure if you were really naked? save them from having to think “Hey..I think that guy that just jumped out of the bush, might be naked..I should look again.”

I’m also curious about him chasing them while masturbating (again..he was masturbating, the women? apparently not so much). How fast could he possibly have been running while trying to rub one out? Its not something I’ve ever tried..but something tells me that the guy couldn’t possibly have been setting any records for a 40 yard dash…I would think his run had to have been more of a fast walk…

And at 5:15 in the morning..it had to have been on the chilly side… personally, if I was gonna jump out of a bush and chase someone naked down the street.. I’d do it when it was warmer out.. I’m thinking 80 or 90 degrees is a good temperature for that…

Charleswhere?

This one falls under the ‘oops’ category. It appears FEMA needs to re-learn how to read a map… the latest FEMA flub? Sending 180 refugees (yes.. they are refugees..the dictionary definition for refugee is “One who flees in search of refuge..”) to Charleston West Virginia… the problem with this? They notified people in Charleston SOUTH CAROLINA to be ready for this group of people..

From the CNN article:

“There was a mistake in the system, coming out through FEMA, that we did not receive the aircraft this afternoon. It went to Charleston, West Virginia.”

A line of buses and ambulances idled behind him at Charleston International Airport as he described what happened.

No word yet what happened to the people once they got to the wrong Charleston.. hopefully they at least had some supplies handy…

Katrina Donations

Since I’ve been having issues with AdSense ads showing up anyway for the last week or so (and since I haven’t had time to figure it out, I just pulled them from the pages). For now, instead of adding the ads back in, I’m putting up a “ad” for the Red Cross. If you haven’t already, please consider making a donation. I’m going to donate everything I make for September from my iTunes Affiliate membership, and try and make a personal donation as well.
