Passive smoking doesn't cause cancer - official
So, as Bill Hicks says ... "look, if I don't smoke, there's going to be secondary *bullets* coming your way, okay? I'm fucking tense! It's either the secondary smoke, or a lit cigarette in your cornea. Your choice"

it's bad enough that they look exactly the same, but now they are reporting the same exact shit from both shitty sides. i know they ARE the same thing, but couldnt they at least try to court a different target audience?

Is that a mouse in your pants, or are ... ewwwwwwwwww.
"With this piece, my intent was to say something about how the dot-com culture has homogenized many of the edgier aspects of San Francisco. After painting the mouse black and drilling holes through it, I threaded it with leather shoelaces. I attached the mouse to a custom-built leather 'jock' which I then fit to a sculpted mannequin."

god, please dont let this be true.

after such a long wait Steve Jobs (and a few coders) present OS X. it might not be all we expected, then again, there might be some suprises in there.

Oh hell yeah. Some guy gets dissed by his ex, gets 50 voice-mail messages from her, spanning the gamut of schizophrenic emotions, so what does he do? Convert them to MP3s and let the world listen.

Iron Chef Icons! Iron Chef Icons! Now this is unsolicited corporate imagery I am proud to view.

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! OK, I'm just getting pissed now. Web ads have been getting more and more intrusive, but now CBS has the Budweiser greedy logo feces smeared down the page as a background image! UGH!

AND I agree with him! But he pissed off every nigger-hater and Southern Partisan below the Mason-Dixon, and they reacted just like you'd figure.

"Hey, how do you get 5 black guys to stop raping a white girl? Throw 'em a basketball! Happy Robert E. Lee Day!"

Mexico Moving to Linux! OK, so the story's in Spanish, and from Slashdot, but I'm really excited, dammit! The IS head of Mexico City talks about how important open-source is, plus they're taking the money they're not paying Microsoft and investing it back to fight poverty.

NakedNews.com, just another reason to love them Canadians.
I heard them on the Howard Stern show this morning, and they had me stiff all the way to work; the anchorwoman does a strip-tease during the first segment as she does the headlines, and everybody from the weathergirl to the fashion reporter are butt-ass nekkid.

Yeah, just like my house.

maybe it's the half-pint of tequila running rampant through my veins, but i just cant stop laughing at this.

Welcome to The Borg. All AOL/Time-Warner property sites will now carry a Netscape header, to add to the vertical glut of ads-on-ads. So CNN, People, Money, Entertainment Weekly, will all be offering Netscape-only goodies real soon now.

And to think, I thought People had editorial integrity.

Daaaaaaamn ... Metallica says "fuck you" to fans who sided with Napster. Check out the conversation going on at MeFi about these haughty bitches.

Our Survivor Deadpool alliance is doing pretty damn well, thanks to those listeners who've joined up and been revelling in the carnage. At last count, we're 13th of 54 alliances, which, with 1600 players in the game, ain't bad at all. I don't know a lot of you, so if you're in the alliance catch me on Jabber (creon@jabber.org) or ICQ (3080119) and introduce yourself. And if you're NOT part of our alliance, then I hope the crocodile eats you.
