Mad Coinz

Tired of paying money to those handicappers who can’t win you money anyway? (“Call Jonathan Rock Sports now to get the Rock Hard Pick of the week. He feels you can move on this game like it’s already been played!”) Unlike those guys, the experts at Liquid Egg Product give away ALL their NFL playoff picks on their website FOR FREE!

The problem is we couldn’t agree on a lot of the picks. So, uh, just go with the guy you think knows more about football.

It tasted better than it looked

Palak Paneer, for the most part

Today, I finally did significant food shopping, and randomly, I noticed prepackaged Indian meals by some company called Ashoka (that’s original). Just boil or microwave, and presto, it’s done. Being slightly wary of such products, I bought one of the Palak Paneer variety just to see if the meal would end up tasting non-awful. Well, two actually; it was buy one get one free.

Needless to say, how it looked on my plate was a modicum different than how it looked on the package. And I didn’t get any cute Indian chicks dropping by my place, either. Nonetheless, the quality was adequate enough to keep a couple in reserve for those nights I don’t want to do any real cooking.

Researcher rips off H.G. Wells

Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry predicts that man will have split into two races within 100,000 years. Apparently, he has read the Time Machine by H. G. Wells.

Bad Science has more to say about the good doctor.


Speaking of time machines…try this idle thought on for size. A time machine will never be invented (note this is different from saying it’s not possible). If it is going to happen, there would have been some time machine user with a desire to visit various eras of the past and make him/herself known to its inhabitants. So we would already know about it.

(Yeah, I’m waiting for the hole-poking.)

How Bush can save face in Iraq

If you aren’t tired of the war by now, please let me know (apathy doesn’t count). It would be a bit easier to stomach if it looked like the Iraqi government were well on its way to handling its own business. It doesn’t look like that’s happening anytime soon.

If our government is simply willing to spend a little more money, here’s a way it can start to plot a new direction in Iraq.

Short of that, I’d just send in Shaq, Chuck Norris, and the Cheat Commandos, and call it a day.

“A brand new Nissan Navara, people!”

They’ve got a point. Jesus must have meant that “blessed are the poor” stuff for those other Christians.

Doctors have a good guess as to what dose your kids need

Many medicines are not fully tested on children before licensing, meaning consultants have no official guidance on doses to refer to when prescribing.
