Shocking news of the day

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

Britney Spears says that she didn’t plan her second pregnancy, “it just sort of happened.”

Actually Brit, it might have something to do with having sex with KFed. (The original douchepacker.)

I’m so glad we have a category for irony.

if you think this is an animated .gif I don’t blame you, but then I probably had a few too many pints at lunch.

I was just getting bored waiting for some code to run and decided to find out how to make some explosives. Wow, it’s really easy. TATP in particular (the explosive used in the London bombing last year) is made just by mixing acetone and hydrogen peroxide. (Well, you need a catalyst and temperature control is important. It looks like people are just using sulfuric acid as a catalyst.)

So anyway, you make a trip to Home Depot and then big boom.

Kind of makes me wish that I had a big empty field or something similar.

that said, I’m stoked about the release of this film, though cynically it will fall on deaf ears for those who need to see it.

Fun With Amish

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

I spent the weekend at my friend Em’s family’s cabin in northern Franklin County, PA, and on the drive from the turnpike out to the cabin, I encountered a 1-to-1 ratio of cops to Amish buggies (i.e. 2/2).  Over the next couple days, the Amish significantly increased their lead over the cops.

As for us, I discovered my alcohol tolerance has become shamefully low.  I was loopy on less than a shot of rum in about 2 hours.  Pathetic.  I also would like to report that my position as a pyromaniac is secure, as I was able to successfully start and maintain the fire Saturday night for dinner (mountain pies and smores), perfectly timed to burn down to coals just in time for the smores.  Mmm, toasted sugar.   Before we departed, we discovered an astonishing number of people at the nearby Cowan’s Gap state park, swarming like flies.  We had planned on hiking, but couldn’t find a parking space.  Mira was very displeased to not be able to go for a swim.  And she absolutely hated the car ride down to the cabin friday and back home on sunday.
