Open Chat / Keeping Fortress Mountain open
« on: September 02, 2008, 07:38:14 PM »
There's an online petition to keep fortress mountain open. Although only 1200 or so people have signed, I think it's worth it. http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/please...s-mountain.html

Everyone should sign it, and then tell everyone they know to sign it as well.

I'm tired and didn't want to think of a clever name for this topic. Here's an interesting article on file sharing. Maybe some of you (bob) might find it interesting.

Open Chat / Pilot Sucked out Window.
« on: May 22, 2007, 05:04:20 AM »
So here's what I found after only a few minutes of painstaking research.

06/10/1990      British Airways
 BAC-111     Oxfordshire, England    On a flight from Birmingham, England to Malaga, Spain, at FL 173, a large section of windshield fell away from the aircraft. The decompression pulled the captain out from under his seatbelt. Despite trying to hold onto the yoke, the captain was sucked out into the opening. A steward in the cockpit was able to grab hold of his legs. Another steward was able to strap himself into the vacant seat and aid in holding onto the captain's legs. The copilot wearing full restraints made an emergency landing at Southampton. The captain remained half way out of the aircraft for 15 minutes and suffered only frostbite and some fractures. Improper bolts used to replace the windshield two days earlier resulted in the accident.

There's a meteor shower this weekend, if any of you care.... Colezy I bet you'll have a nice view. You had better smoke a fatty, stroke your moustache and watch the shower, or i'll be very disapointed.

There are a series of test that let you self evaluate all aspects of your life. The good news is i'm not impotent, the bad new is i'm a moderate hypocondriac.

 I guess we all have to take the good with the bad.

Okay, so maybe some of you may think this is stupid, but you are gay.  

Google's galactic empire
Apparently Google has run out of things to catalogue on Earth. The internet behemoth has now joined a project to catalogue the visible universe, using a telescope that will scan the entire sky each week.

The 8.4-metre Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is being built in the mountains of Chile by a team of 19 universities and laboratories. Once completed in 2013, it will repeatedly image the sky, watching for the flash of supernovae, moving points of light that indicate near-Earth asteroids, and anything else that changes out there.

This will generate 30 terabytes of data (30,000 gigabytes) every night, so it will be essential to develop software that can aid astronomers in sorting through this deluge for objects and events of interest. The search and sorting expertise Google has developed for internet searches will no doubt come in handy for this task.

The announcement of Google's participation in the LSST comes just a few weeks after NASA announced a joint project with the company, which aims to allow internet users to virtually explore the solar system using data from the space agency's robotic probes.

Having secured domination of Earth, it was only a matter of time before Google sought to extend its reach beyond the confines of this little planet. I think mapping the cosmos is just the first step. When it's finished, that's when the fleet of Googlebots will launch to colonise every last inch of the universe.  Newscientist.com

Open Chat / Britney Spears
« on: November 28, 2006, 06:45:33 PM »
What girl with any kind of class would not wear panties to a club. Secondly, if your not going to wear panties wear a longer skirt/dress or pants. Lastly, If you are trying to get your poon out to the media, or you want to get finger banged by strangers in a club, do exactly as Britney has done.

Jokes / Irish Joke
« on: November 24, 2006, 05:40:22 AM »
Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an  important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey" Miraculously, a parking place appeared.
     Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one."

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and says to the first
 man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
The man said, "I do Father."The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall." Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply. "Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest. Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven?O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father. The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?" O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Paddy was in New York He was patiently waiting, and watching the
 traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of
traffic and shouted, "Okay pedestrians".Then he'd allow the traffic to pass. He'd done this several times,
and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk. After the cop had shouted "Pedestrians" for the tenth time, Paddy
went over to him and said, "Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?"

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read
in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best
 friend Finney.Did you see the paper?" asked Gallagher. "They say I died!!"
Yes, I saw it!" replied Finney. "Where are ye callin' from?"
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Flynn staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife,  Mary. He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and madethe landing especially painful.
     
  Managing not to yell, Flynn sprung up, pulled down his pants, and ooked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began  putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood. He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.

   In the morning, Flynn woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Mary staring at him from across the room. She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you? Flynn said, "Why you say such a mean thing? "Well," Mary said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of  blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly.....it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror

Open Chat / Jobs Mike should apply for.
« on: October 11, 2006, 10:06:05 PM »
Alright, I need a job, I can only work part time in the evenings, and I don't want to work too hard.

Jobs that are out
1. Sex slave -  I need to conserve energy, and masturbation has taken a new twist. www.fleshlight.com
2. Ink Filler - FUCK OFF


Pretty much everything else is fair game. I think we should come up with a few good ideas and then have a poll and see which I should go for!

My fate is in your hands..
