Google’s there for a reason

Yes, I looked up how to microwave rice on google. What the fuck else is the internet there for?

Porn? OK

Movies? OK

Information on useful things in life? Heaven forbid!

Oh, and while I’m admitting my sins, last year I looked up how to tie a tie on youtube, something that was never taught to me.

Potatoes

An old man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his potato garden but it was very hard work as the ground was hard. His only son Fred, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Fred,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over I know you would dig the plot for me.

Ringworm and Radiation

By Barry Chamish August 19, 2004

On August 14, at 9 PM, Israel’s Channel Ten television screened a documentary film which exposes the ugliest secret of Israel’s Labor party founders: the deliberate mass radiation poisoning of nearly all Sephardi youths of a generation.

“The Ringworm Children” (translated in Hebrew as “100,000 Rays”), directed by David Belhassen and Asher Hemias, recently won the prize for “best documentary” at the Haifa International film festival, and in the past year has made the rounds of Jewish and Israeli film festivals around the world. But it had yet to come to Israeli television screens. The subject is the mass irradiation of hundreds of thousands of young Israeli immigrants from Middle Eastern countries — Sephardim, as they are called today. The story goes like this:

Playing DVD’s on Ubuntu Feisty

I’ve never really gotten DVD’s to work reliably in Linux. Ubuntu‘s a great distribution and it’s got a lot of things working beautifully straight off, but as usual I couldn’t get DVD’s to play with Totem. I found Quickstart on the Ubuntu Forums and a lot of people had said it worked fine, as usual with most of the fixes. It didn’t work for me (installed a few other cool things for me though) so I played around a bit, determined to watch Sneakers now that the sound was working 🙂

Just in case someone else comes looking for the solution to this problem like I did tonight 🙂 I found this link by googling a little.

The Raven, in limerick form?

There once was a girl named Lenore

And a bird and a bust and a door

And a guy with depression

And a whole lot of questions

And the bird always says “Nevermore.”

The OKCupid Sexual Hell Test

Your Score: HELL LEVEL 3

Raw score: 95%

There’s a special place in Hell for you: the basement penthouse. You scored the nastiest possible score on the Sexual Hell Test. You have no sexual restraint whatsoever. You’ll take pleasure however you can get it, and my guess is you get it a lot. If for some reason you don’t right now, you will soon, as people in your category only tend to spiral down ever deeper into the abyss of carnality and delicious sin. Congratulations.
