This is absolutely great! I was looking for images of Bolsheviks on the web (don’t ask), and I happen to come upon a picture of what looked like Bolshevik lunchboxes. Well! I was intrigued. Turned out, they were from this online store called Archie McPhee’s. Along with the Bolshevik lunchboxes are this KGB hip flask and this Nodding Diablo in Wicked Suit. The stuff is pretty cheap, too… I’m all about that flask, though.

Guess what! Apparently, Russians enjoy drinking, specifically Ol’ Yeltsin! Check out the article here.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you my NEW favorite sight. An elegantly put-together collection of things that creationists hate. Just remember: “I DIDN’T COME FROM NO DAMNED MONKEY!”

Thank god for German engineering. Megacar is the collaboration between two German firms, one tech, one engineering. It is a rolling techie heaven. This car has bandwidth to spare with 156kbps, 5 LCD flatscreens, DVD, 30fps teleconferencing, AND and NT Server in the trunk (so, it’s not Linux, but DAMN… like I would care). Not to mention, the new version is built on the Audi A8… gaaaaaagh… must… move… to… deutschland(sp?)…

Prince, previously known as %$#&, previously known as Prince, has re-renamed himself to Prince. He’ll be returning to his hometown of Minneapolis for a week long celebration, or a brutal pummelling by those who think that “Prince Rogers Nelson” is a wussy name. CNN has the story.

Ever wonder what happens when a geek gets a framegrabber, edits geek movies and adds his own geek text? Wonder no more, friends, Detonate.net has the answer. First up, we have a geek-ization of the Matrix, followed by Star Wars: A New Hope. Be forewarned, geek knowledge may be needed to get all jokes.

This here is a little story about a woman and a miniature vacuum. This article is a litle strange for Salon, but its an interesting read. Continue to page two (2) to read all the gory details. Included is the reference to a clitoris as “the little canoe driver”. Wow. I’m going to towel off.

Check it out! Nigel has arrived, and he’s taking requests. Go here, and read it, and then play with the Nigel demo. I don’t know if he’ll work with multiple people at once. If you use the demo multiple times, and it keeps giving you the same sound file again and again, try the REFRESH button on your browser.

According to this article at CNN, NBC will be debut a couple of new shows, and cutting Dateline NBC from only 8 nights a week to 1 24 hour period. Ok, so that’s not true, but the new shows are. First up is Michael Richards in “The Michael Richards Show,” where he plays, umm, errr… Michael Richards as a wacky private eye. Then we have Steven Weber in the…. wait for it! wait for it! “The Steven Weber Show” where he plays an ex-sitcom star back from banishment or some such junk. Oh well, at least Kirstie Allie isn’t around anymore.

Meanwhile, somewhere in an alternate universe, someone pays attention to critics and fans and cans Jesse, and lets Sportsnight stay on….

According to this article the government, during the height of the Cold War, had plans (involving none other than Carl Sagan) to detonate an atomic bomb on the MOON! Just to one-up the Russians, at that. Apparently the Armed Force (namely, the Air Force) were more concerned with some show of astro-might, rather than destroying one of the most pristine areas man has ever set foot on. It’s a good read and a good example of the ludicrous notions that thankfully never came to light during the cold war.
