From Letterman last night

#3 cracked me up the most

"The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny"

A musical tale of the greatest battle to ever occur ever.

A great Flash animation of a mega-battle between the likes of Godzilla, Batman, Abe Lincoln, Shaq, Optimus Prime, Carebears, Captain Kirk, Robocop, Mr Rogers, and of course . . . Chuck Norris.

Doesn't sound appetizing to me. I'm not one for mixing bacon, Tang, and peanut butter.

The Death List 2006

The DeathList committee draws up the list at the end of each year with the objective of selecting the celebrities most likely to die in the next calendar year. The list comprises 50 celebrities, with no more than 25 who appeared on the previous year's list. Candidates are not eligible if their only claim to fame is that they are likely to die shortly. Candidates must also pass the famousness test - which is basically that their death will be covered by the UK media.

This is just stuff I'm totally not familiar with. Another reason why I prefer to be cremated.

BabyPlus Prenatal Education System

BabyPlus is a series of 16 scientifically designed rhythmic sounds that resemble a mother's heartbeat. The rhythm of the sounds increases incrementally and sequentially as the pregnancy progresses. The BabyPlus sound pattern introduces your child to a sequential learning process, built upon the natural rhythms of their own environment.

A site devoted to peeling eggs

This site is dedicated to all the poor breakfast eggs that spend their lives being peeled with boring methods like just picking it with a spoon. We decided to show up different ways giving you an idea on how to end the lifecycle of your egg a bit more interesting.

Personally, I thought the 'Circular Saw' method was pretty cool.

Number 2 No More!

Just like Bill Simmons (The SportsGuy on ESPN Page 2), I decided to keep a running journal of the Rose Bowl (the national championship football game.)

You can view it here. I'm sure there are a ton of spelling and grammatical errors.

If you like this sort of thing and enjoy my writing, I may consider doing the same for events like the Super Bowl, Grammys or Oscars. Just let me know.

For the fans of Despair.com

If you are familiar with Despair.com, the company that mocks corporate inspirational pictures and messages, you can make your own here. I don't think this site is affiliated with Despair.com.

Here is mine.


And speaking of Despair.com, you should check out some of the videos on the site. Hand sanitizing cracked me up.

Letterman vs O'Reilly

I'm sure this isn't getting any news, respectively because of the tragedy in West Virginia. But this David Letterman and Bill O'Reilly exchange was very interesting.

You can view it here, and if that doesn't work, try here and view it on ifilm.

Some highlights:

- O'Reilly calls Iraq a 'giant massive screwup.'
- Letterman lets his emotions get the best of him regarding Cindy Sheehan.
- O'Reilly appears nervous or emotional as you can see his leg shake.
- Letterman admits he is not smart enough to debate.
- Letterman tells OReilly that he does not represent an objective viewpoint.
- Letterman tells O'Reilly '60% of what you say is crap' and 'be careful what you say.'
- O'Reilly tells Letterman he respects his opinion, he should do the same.

I really like it when Letterman speaks from the heart..

Blonde Joke

I usually don't link to jokes, but this blond joke had me laughing.

A Google Computer?

Here is the latest roomer I fou found:

Speculation is mounting that Larry Page will use a keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Friday to unveil details of a low-cost computer or internet-enabled device that will run on a new operating system developed by Google.
Because the device - similar in concept to the Mac Mini unveiled last year by Apple's Steve Jobs - doesn't use Microsoft's Windows, it could cost as little as $200.

Bunny Trance

Putting bunnies in a trance can be very useful when you need to trim toenails, give medicines or calm a panicky bunny. To trance a bunny, you need to flip them over on their back and pet their cheeks and nose area at the same and they should start to go out.

Prove Christ exists, judge orders priest

Interesting court case in Italy.

AN ITALIAN judge has ordered a priest to appear in court this month to prove that Jesus Christ existed.

The case against Father Enrico Righi has been brought in the town of Viterbo, north of Rome, by Luigi Cascioli, a retired agronomist who once studied for the priesthood but later became a militant atheist. Conintued . . .

Back to the grind

My apologies for not updating BON as of late. But, now I'm back in the saddle again.

Empty Church Turns Into A Rockclimbing Centre

The church has stood empty for four years after the dwindling number of worshippers forced it to close its doors. Its condition was deteriorating fast, but now, thanks to an emergency repair grant from English Heritage, it's ready to start its new life as Manchester's first dedicated climbing centre.
