FEMA Humor/Stupidity
A while back, Jon Stewart made fun of this graphic which is found on the FEMA website under the section "What We Do.""This chart, clearly depicting the agencies responsibilities in the event of a disaster....It begins with a response to a disaster, leads to recovery, mitigation, risk reduction, prevention, preparedness...(dramatic pause) and ends up BACK IN DISASTER! In truth, FEMA did exactly what they said they were going to do." — Jon Stewart

Over the last year, we've been asked 15,381 times, "How about printing? When are we going to get printing!?" Today we are happy to answer: "Today!" For now it is U.S. only (we know! we're working hard on rolling it out everywhere!). You can order prints to be delivered by mail, or pick them up at your local Target store for one hour printing, even. In both cases, you get 10 free 4x6" prints to get started.

The White House Chief Usher Gary Walters has a nice transcript of questions from 2003 relating to Whtie House ghost stories.
Oh those silly atheists
Here's an online petition:
Dear Starbucks and its Owners:
We are concerned about the article written by Ms. Grossman of U.S.A Today, telling us of your intention to use religious quotes from The Purpose-Driven Life written by the Rev. Rick Warren. While we have no problems with the use of such quotes, we the Atheists, Humanists, and other Non-Theists request that you give us equal billing. We will be attaching a list of recommended Atheistic quotes to this petition.
Note:
I think they are stupid.

Who is Damian Marley?
Unfortunately he is the opening act for the U2 concert this weekend in Dallas. Last time it was No Doubt.I listened to some samples here, but not impressed. He is also the youngest son of Bob Marley.

Couple of thoughts:
1. The Bible reference listed on the site is 2 Jobs 3:15. I know of a book of Job, but not of Jobs or 2 Jobs. Maybe a parody of Steve Jobs of Apple? I dunno.
2. I'm afraid it would make someone look like Flava Flav.

The longest list of the longest stuff at the longest domain name:
Catchy name.
thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainnameatlonglast.com
For instance:
Who has the longest ear hair in the world?
Or the longest homerun:
May 22 1963 at Yankee Stadium Mickey Mantle connected with a pitch that sent the ball rocketing out of the stadium...almost. It struck the facade just a few inches from the top and bounced back into the infield. Through complex computer calculations, it has been estimated that the ball, had it cleared the facade, would have traveled 734 feet.
So what was the longest hockey game in the world?
240 hours
Or the longest beard by a female?
Obsessed With Costumes
Here is a dude that has documented all of the costumes he has been over the years - since 1975. Some are nerdy, some are pretty creative. Judge for yourself.
