Engadget reports that a Mini Hydro Turbine concept could bring renewable energy production to your bathroom. So you shlomp a water-filter like gadget onto the pipe and get free electricity! Yippieee!

Recent news report that a deadly winter storm begins barrage in Northeast and already has killed more than 20 people. Why did this happen? Power line poles crashing on people is one reason. What if they built them underground? That way it is much more expensive, so it all boils down to money and simple economics.

Let me ask you one question: if your multimillion donation to an organization is purely charitable, why do you want it to be named after you? In recent news: IU Bloomington School of Law renamed in honor of largest-ever donor !!! Could it be a manifestation of one of the seven dealy sins: pride?

I like my last name -- it is beautiful, bold and has a meaning for me.
BUT!!!! I want to change it!

Ever since I moved from my home country I have not heard my last name pronounced right. It is very annoying, especially when the offender really butchers it ;(

I have been frequenting online forums recently and was struck by how often people use "would of" (instead of would have) and "his" (instead of he's or he is). Come on! This is not a simple typo, to me it shows a lack of any understanding of the basic structures in your own language. Something needs to be done with the education in this country. Now!

Until there are people like this (and there are millions) roaming the web, it will!

Why would anyone think of shopping at 5AM?

Does your life depend on a HD-DVD player?

Maybe a good nights sleep will bring more improvement to your life?

Ask yourself... 

SnipeMe seems to have a number of good rants on his site. One of them, called Internet Guide For Parents is teaching how to not repeat the same mistakes your parents did, by understanding what the hell is going on in online chat rooms. Enjoy!

 Want to look cool? Put a bad-ass squiggly Japanese symbol onto your shoulder! Seems to be the prevalent choice for over-fed over-stimulated mid-aged american populace. And here are some reasons why:   Â  a) You look misterious, because nobody knows what it means. Do you? b) You look in touch with your inner self in a meditative kind of way. c) Can pass as a tree hugger, claiming the buddist BS.  d) Can pass as a sensitive type (you are thinking of things, instead of just putting a dumb plain-english word onto your skin). 

Another website that lets people confess anonymously. How many more to come, before everyone's conscience is clear?

 I saw this movie titled -Idiocracy- yesterday and got the impression that this is the nightmare we are about to make true. The movie starts by a simple illustration of how people with higher IQ (read "not utterly stupid") reproduce less and less. The dumbest of all (the movie shows a redneck family), quite on the contrary multiply almost every year.  The result: in 500 years the society is run by idiots and is a total mess. 

Antioxidant was a buzz word for a while. Antioxidant supplements such as vitamin A or E were marketed as health improving substances. How many people are taking them? I used to take them every once in a while honestly believing that it'd help me stay fit and healthy. Not anymore. According to this release a systematic review of previous studies shows that beta carotene, vitamin A, and vitamin E significantly increase the risk of death. Unbelievable!

 I hate myself for my stupid internet addiction! HATE, hate, hate! Even now, instead of going home Im posting at your stupid website!!!  You are all fired, if you don't stop wasting your time on the time drain that is INTERNET! All FIRED! And expired! LOL

 What really gets me is that everyone thinks that everyone likes their beer cold....I HATE COLD BEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't taste the flavor if the liquid is cold!!!!Every one---try the beer warm!!! You'll like it! 

I hate it when people talk about something they really don’t know, but just heard it somewhere. ARGHHHGH!!!! It makes me angry!!! Before you open your big fat mouth to say some so-called fact that you picked up from your hairdresser, make sure it’s correct and you are not spreading bullshit. Just F*** Google it!
