He’s been hanging around Clinton a bit too much

0609_george_bush_bikini_girl_03_wm2

If I were to tell you there’s a picture of a woman in a bikini sitting on a former president’s lap, you would automatically think Clinton, right?

The lady in the picture is from “A Chorus Line.”  The cast was invited over to the Bush’s home in Maine to celebrate Barbar’s 84th birthday.

But the socks really get my attention.

BlindSearch

Welcome to BlindSearch, the search engine taste test.

Type in a search query above, hit search then vote for the column which you believe best matches your query. The columns are randomised with every query.

The goal of this site is simple, we want to see what happens when you remove the branding from search engines. How differently will you perceive the results?

This was a fun little experiment, and yes,  I spent way too much time on this web-site.  I thought most of the time my preferred search engine would have been Google, but sometimes it turned out to be Yahoo! and Bing, the new Microsoft search engine.

Corrupted-Files.com

So you’re a college student that has to turn in an assignment online, but you need more time.  So instead of turning in a cruddy assignment, you send your instructor a corrupted file.  Since the instructor will be unable to open your assignment, he or she will ask you to resend the assignment, perhaps buying a day or two in the process.

Step 1: After purchasing a file, rename the file e.g. Mike_Final-Paper.

Step 2: Email the file to your professor along with your “here’s my assignment” email.

Step 3: It will take your professor several hours if not days to notice your file is “unfortunately” corrupted. Use the time this website just bought you wisely and finish that paper!!!

President Obama’s French food tested by ‘taster’

I’ve always heard of this, but never knew if it was just an urban legend or not.

PARIS (AFP) — A US “taster” tested the food being dished up to President Barack Obama at a dinner in a French restaurant, a waiter said Sunday.

“They have someone who tastes the dishes,” said waiter Gabriel de Carvalho from the “La Fontaine de Mars” restaurant where Obama and his family turned up for dinner on Saturday night.

“It wasn’t very pleasant for the cooks at first, but the person was very nice and was relaxed, so it all went well,” he said on the Itele news channel.

Asked by AFP to comment, the restaurant confirmed the report.

The US Secret Service has always refused to confirm that US presidents travel with a food “taster”, in line with their policy of discretion on all security related issues.

But it is known the Service goes to great lengths to scrutinise the source and the preparation of food served to US presidents whenever they eat out of the White House to ensure it is not tampered with.

Our Population Center is Moving

The mean centre of US population is “the point at which an imaginary, flat, weightless and rigid map of the US would balance perfectly if weights of identical value were placed on it so that each weight represented the location of one person on the date of the census”, in the definition of the US Census Bureau itself.
