Getting laid via Craig's list


The results are not surprising. Women looking for sex will find it, men will not. Clearly this proves that men are creepier than women.

http://bloggasm.com/you-chances-of-getting-laid-through-craigslist-a-bloggasm-case-study

Premise: I was surfing through the job listings at Craigslist, and inevitably wandered my way into the personals section, and became instantly fascinated with all the posts. I eventually made my way into the “Sex with no strings attached” section, and immediately wondered: Could this be real? Is it really this easy to get laid by simply logging in and making a post, when so many other people out there have to struggle to get laid the normal way?

"I'm in a weird situation 'cause I like rainbows, but I'm not gay.
So I wear a rainbow on my shirt, but then under it I gotta put 'Not Gay.'
But I'm not against gay people, so then under that I gotta put 'But Supportive.'
I just think it's weird that one group took refracted light.

That's pretty greedy, gays."

Feeding yourself for $30 or less in a month


http://hungryforamonth.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_hungryforamonth_archive.html

For the month of November, I’m only spending $30 on food. The only exception will be things that are freely available to the average person (salt taken from restaurants, sauce packets from Taco Bell, free coffee from an office). Buying in advance is fine, but at the end of the month, it all has to add up to $30 or less.

Hold Your Wee for a Wii



From: http://news.com.com/2061-10797_3-6150870.html?tag=nefd.aof

A Sacramento, Calif., radio station has fired 10 employees after a woman died in a water-drinking contest to win a Nintendo Wii, the Associated Press and other media sources are reporting.

A preliminary autopsy indicated that Jennifer Strange, 28, died from water intoxication after participating in KDND-FM 107.9's on-air "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest Friday. The participant who drank the most water without using the bathroom was promised a game console valued at $250.

During the match, contestants were given two minutes to drink an 8-ounce bottle of water, then given another bottle to drink after a 10-minute break.

After drinking two gallons and becoming one of two final participants, according to witness reports, Strange began to feel ill and had to quit. She called in sick to work after the contest, complaining of a bad headache, and about five hours later, her mother found her dead in her Rancho Cordova, Calif., home.

The Tigger punch ...



I am sure we have all seen it by now but here is the movie of Tigger "punching" a young man.
I think it is pretty clear that the kid is up to no good and Tigger is merely defending himself. His first action is to lock the arm. Then he moves his other arm to push away the kid. The hit to the face is merely coincidence. The kid appears to be in the wrong.

Walmart to begin pushing compact fluorescent bulbs


From the New York Times:
Wal-Mart Puts Some Muscle Behind Power-Sipping Bulbs


But now Wal-Mart Stores, the giant discount retailer, is determined to push them into at least 100 million homes. And its ambitions extend even further, spurred by a sweeping commitment from its chief executive, H. Lee Scott Jr., to reduce energy use across the country, a move that could also improve Wal-Mart’s appeal to the more affluent consumers the chain must win over to keep growing in the United States.

“The environment,” Mr. Scott said, “is begging for the Wal-Mart business model.”

It is the environmental movement’s dream: America’s biggest company, legendary for its salesmanship and influence with suppliers, encouraging 200 million shoppers to save energy.

For all its power in retailing, though, Wal-Mart is meeting plenty of resistance — from light-bulb makers, competitors and consumers. To help turn the tide, it is even reaching out to unlikely partners like Google, Home Depot and Hollywood.

A compact fluorescent has clear advantages over the widely used incandescent light — it uses 75 percent less electricity, lasts 10 times longer, produces 450 pounds fewer greenhouse gases from power plants and saves consumers $30 over the life of each bulb. But it is eight times as expensive as a traditional bulb, gives off a harsher light and has a peculiar appearance.

As a result, the bulbs have languished on store shelves for a quarter century; only 6 percent of households use the bulbs today.

Which is what makes Wal-Mart’s goal so wildly ambitious. If it succeeds in selling 100 million compact fluorescent bulbs a year by 2008, total sales of the bulbs in the United States would increase by 50 percent, saving Americans $3 billion in electricity costs and avoiding the need to build additional power plants for the equivalent of 450,000 new homes.



My Take:


As much as I dislike Walmart (penny savings are killing america by making us constantly looking to trim every penny we can, thus carving out middle men and jobs) this is a good thing for America, Americans, and the Globe.
