Virus author goes to jail

A Minnesota teenager has been sentenced to 18 months in prison and 10 months of community service, after he pleaded guilty to launching a variant of the Blaster worm in 2003. Jeffrey Lee Parson, 19, of Hopkins, MN., was a high school senior when he downloaded and modified the worm, the Associated Press reported. His variant launched a distributed denial-of-service… (more…)

Your Name Here

Thanks to Dirty Dingus for this one. An unemployed but well-endowed lady in England is renting space on her breasts via Ebay.  I kid you not. I think this is right clever, easy to do, and effective advertising for the advertisee.  So far it seems to be fetching her about 410.00 pounds.  Not too bad I would imagine for the… (more…)

Improper Tasering?

(Officer) Macon was called to the nursing home after Margaret Kimbrell refused to leave. Kimbrell has said she was distraught after the staff would not disclose the location of her sick friend, and she became concerned the friend had died. Kimbrell jerked away from the officer and swung her arm at Macon, according to a police report. The officer then… (more…)

Paying for “It”

A new study found that male monkeys will give up their juice rewards in order to ogle pictures of female monkey’s bottoms. The way the experiment was set up, the act is akin to paying for the images, the researchers say. There’s really not that much difference between man and monkey to this day.  Especially when it comes to the… (more…)

Miss Jones in the Morning

Sobriety Test

Now, here’s a sobriety test that would be 100% accurate with men, and, I imagine, most women as well!

Lifeguarding

A long, long, long time ago, I used to lifeguard at the local YMCA.  Someone stumbled across an old video of me in action:

Bad Squirrel

First of all, check this out. I was asked by a friend who viewed this, knowing I live in the "woods", whether this was unusual or not.  Actually, it’s not that unusual.  IMO, the squirrel wasn’t so much as bad, as probably rabid.  Before they start frothing at the mouth and shaking uncontrollably before dying, rabid animals will attack anything… (more…)

Another afflicted Cruise

Cruise Ship With 230 Sick Returning To Port A cruise ship is expected to dock in Florida on Sunday with more than 200 passengers suffering from a stomach virus. Cruise line official say about 233 of the 3,465 passengers aboard the Mariner of the Seas became sick after the vessel left Port Canaveral on Jan. 16 for a seven-day cruise… (more…)

Tsunami Survivor

25 days after the Christmas tsunami struck, this is about the last headline I expected to see: Waving a flag made of his clothes, a tsunami victim dressed only in his underwear was rescued after surviving alone for 25 days on a flattened island in India’s Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, authorities said Saturday. The tale of survival reached Port Blair,… (more…)
