Along time ago I wrote a stupid C program. This program was designed for one purpose; to freak someone out. It was suppose to operate under DOS and use ANSI characters to display what appeared to be the workings of a giant count down clock. What it did at the end of the count down was the users guess. The program would then spit out words like, "Not ready reading drive C". This of course was a good way to make anyone feel somewhat upset. I gave this program to a few friends as a joke. Of course,...

Just when I thought I knew everything....... Mosquito repellents don't repel. They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquito's sensors so they don't know you're there. Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. (I keep my toothbrush in the living room now.) The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as substitute for blood plasma. No piece of paper ...

I was browsing around my HD today when I came across some old SC screen shots. I don't know about you, but when I use to play StarCraft, I could play that game literally ALL DAY. I've been known to have 9-hour games online. Of course, these games were often not serious games. Who cares, right? As long as you're happy... Anyway, here a re a few screen shots. I was playing around in this one.. Call it being bored. How many Zerg can fit in one screen... I think my favor...

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her.She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up.

In Honor of Stupid People( not us ) In Honor of Stupid People In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods. On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair). On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (The shoplifter special)? On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap."...

Last night I was checking my email when I was rudely interrupted by an ad window prompting me that my 10 hours of free internet had expired. I was a bit bummed out since I'm forced to even consider using dial-up as my only internet option. I can't use Cable internet, since the apartment complex that I live in has its own cable service but no internet. DSL has not yet come in to my area and satellite is simply to expensive for casual internet use. So, there I sit, reading this unsightly error. Wh...
