The Darjeeling Limited

Anderson’s 5th film.
Fear and Loathing in Bengal -
high on cough syrup.

The soundtrack is great.
An entertaining movie,
would watch it again.

Of course . . . it was only a matter of time until a “toilet themed” restaurant cropped-up in Japan. The sundae served in a toilet is a bit much. Photo gallery

Some might consider this bad taste, but if you’re able to find any semblance of humor in the absolutely ridiculous video of University of Florida student Andrew Meyer being tazered after asking some pointed questions at a John Kerry speech back in September of this year, or if you own one of the millions of “Don’t Taze Me, Bro” t-shirts for sale on the Web, the “Don’t Taze Me Bro - Rap Remix” will come as enjoyable entertainment for you. Don’t get me wrong, this all was terrible and in my opinion completely unjustifiable, but at least this well-done rap song gets my head knocking…

Saint Anthony is the patron saint of pigs and butchers, and from the math I learned in school, 1+1=BACON. For a paltry $4.95, you can get your very own, miniature St. Anthony to whom you can pray for bacon, about bacon, or for a bacon related miracle.

Dear Friends,
Please stop sending me this amazing video. It is a hoax - it does not work. How they did it below . . .

Mountain Dew Glows!!!! Mountain Dew Light Hack!!! - The most amazing videos are a click away

I’m pretty sure they switch Mountain Dew with luciferin (the stuff in the small glass vial in glowsticks). The peroxide oxidizes the luciferin (making it glow) and the baking soda catalyzes the reaction (making it happen at a slower rate). If you doubt this de-bunking, consider this:

•Why do they suggest only a small amount of Mountain Dew (instead of the whole bottle)?
*Because it’s the right color and volume for the small amount of luciferin that comes in a glowstick

•Notice when they zoom in to the teaspoon with baking soda, notice the bottle of Mountain Dew before and after the zoom:
*The label has been turned around, perhaps this is when they made the switch.

I tried this at home - what the hell am I going to do with the rest of the F@#$ing 6-pack of Mountain Dew?

Stop posting this on your websites as a great Halloween tip.

The downside of a wiki site is that any garden variety blockhead can and will insert fart jokes. Doing some research on eclipses, I stumbled across (and almost missed) this small piece of wikivandalism.





The lesson: subtle vandalism survives longer than large/obvious vandalism.

What’s the best way to break free of corporate shackles? Smash your cell phone, ditch that oxford (wait! keep the tie!) and rock!

Water blasting toms! Synchronized jumps! Heel tapping! Tilted keyboards! Flowing manes! Tractor solos!

I LOVE FINLAND!!!

Here on Blogadilla, and on most blogs I’m sure, we’re flooded with comment spam. Fortunately, we have Akismet to handle it, which usually does a great job. Nevertheless, a few spam comments slip through to moderation here and there, and a few legitimate comments make it into the spam filter, so I have to check it periodically.

Most spam comments are relatively standard in appearance, with links to sites where you can buy prescription drugs illegally, or enlarge your penis, etc. I’ve always thought these looked all goofy, and for someone to click on them, they’d have to be somewhat of a halfwit. I’m not sure of the exact economics of spam, but one can be sure that it must be effective on some level, or else spam would cease to exist.

Just today, however, my attitude toward spam changed, as I found a new spam derivative: ‘witty-quote spam.’ Sure, the email addresses and sites linked to are similar to the aforementioned spam comments, but at least in this case, the spammers are giving me something: witty quotes. I’ll spare you the link for pirated software or val1um, but here are a few of the good ones I got, just today:

“To the Honourable Member opposite I say, when he goes home tonight, may his mother run out from under the porch and bark at him” — John G Diefenbaker

“A sure cure for seasickness is to sit under a tree” — Spike Milligan

“Why don’t they make the whole plane out of that black box stuff” — Steven Wright

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away” — Philip K Dick

“I would have made a good Pope” — Richard Nixon

Check out this cool “graffiti-style rail track art”. The blue lines are plastic toy rail road tracks from the TOMY toy company. Check out the other photos. The artists, Yasuhiko Hayashi and Yusuke Nakano also did installations outside, over water, at a school with kids, and even a bath house.
