From the same people who gave us "Tuscan Whole Milk, 128 Oz."...
We get "Penetrating Wagner's Ring", and a series of probing reviews.
(Thanks to Neil Gaiman for the link.)
(In a fully appropriate typo, I first put "Tuscan Hole Milk as the title...)

Disappointing Day
Looking through my Junk Mail folder today, I'm disappointed. Scammers only want to give me $800,000 so far. Usually by lunch it's well over five million.

The Marching Morons
Texting morons, more like. Apparently in Britain there's enough incidence of
people walking into lampposts that they're testing ... PADDED
LAMPPOSTS!
Personally, I think if you're too stupid to STOP and finsih your
message you DESERVE to walk into a lamppost.
Think of it as evolution in action.

Just in Time for Valentine's Day!
The Texas law banning sale of sex toys has been ruled unconstitutional, just in time to get your sweetie that special something.

Best Headline EVER
Gacked from Charlie Stross' blog, is what I have to agree is the Best Headline EVER:
Police Find Crack in Man's Buttocks
(follow the link to Charlie to see a few more amusing headlines)
You have to wonder what's going on in these newsrooms. Does the headline writer truly not understand what he has perpetrated, or is he trying to slip something past the senior editor? I suspect both are in play, from time to time.

New episode in da House ... NOT!
After the Super Bowl, Fox showed a new episode of "House". I'm a big Hugh Laurie fan, from "Blackadder" to "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" to "House", so I was pleased. Especially since new episodes of my favorite shows have been scarce with the writer's strike going on. (Which is OK; if you ask me the writers deserve all they're asking for and more)
So later on, I selected the episode from the TiVo menu and started it ... and got the last 15 minutes of the Super Bowl post-game coverage.
Then "House" started, and my daughter piped up with "Dad...skip to the end and make sure we got the whole episode."
I did, and we didn't. The stupid network didn't push a schedule update to the TiVo, and it cheerfully recorded exactly an hour of video, including the last 15 minutes of the Stupor Bowl and the first 45 of "House".
Perusal of "Upcoming Showings" in the "House" Season Pass showed NO repeats of the episode. We'll have to wait for reruns, or BitTorrent it.
Sigh.

Oh, Man, This is SO WRONG!
Check out this entry over at Pharyngula. It's a Jesus-styled switchplate, and the toggle positioning is, um, unfortunate.
