Just in time for Father's Day

Here's a list of the best (and worst) T.V. dads. I'm not familiar with all of them, but it's interesting just the same. Who would you add to the list?

Try this

If you're weird like me, you sometimes talk to yourself, read aloud to yourself, and make smart-alec comments out loud, although you're the only one in the room. This happens to me often when I'm online.

Well here's Instant Rimshot, a nifty little tool that you can use to give your witty remarks a little more zing. It'll make you feel like you're a wacky morning-show DJ, or on a late-night talk show.

I wish I could figure out how to install it as an application on my desktop. For now I'll just leave it in its own little window, like my own little backup comedy posse.

I found this on the Presurfer, a random-interesting-thing website I've recently run across.

Runnin' with the Beatles

You like the Beatles. You like old-school Van Halen.
Now watch this.

Got quarters?

Found in Tokyo: walking Coke bots that are actual vending machines. They are modeled after a desktop-size (11'') coin bank popular in Japan. I would simply have to buy a Coke from one, whether I was thirsty or not.

Now here's something you wouldn't expect to find in a vending machine: live bait! Some visionary converted a refrigerated sandwich-vending machine into a 24/7 bait shop. So many others are converting machines for this purpose, vending companies are designing one specifically for it. Nifty!

Neatorama has many more weird examples of machines like these, including ones for iPods, porn, and toilet paper.

Garfield minus Garfield

What do you get when you take Garfield cartoons and remove Garfield himself? Something completely different. A man has done just that, and he posts a "new" comic everyday. Some of them are funny, some are just plain weird. If you think about it, Jon really is just standing around talking to his cat. What he says and does are pret-ty strange.


From the site:
"Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb."

I used to be a Math teacher, you know

Three old men are at the doctor for a memory test. The doctor says to the first old man, "What is three times three?"
"274" was his reply.

The doctor worriedly says to the second man, "It's your turn. What is three times three?"
"Tuesday" replies the second man.

The doctor sadly says to the third man, "Okay, your turn. What's three times three"?
"Nine" says the third man.

"That's great!" exclaims the doctor. "How did you get that"?
"Jeez, Doc, it's pretty simple," says the third man. "I just subtracted 274 from Tuesday."

Myself, I'd eat it.
