In the report, it’s just the latest in a string of bizarre injuries among international goalkeepers:

• Spain’s Santiago Canizares missed this year’s World Cup after dropping a bottle of aftershave on his foot and damaging a tendon.
• Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman hurt himself while he reached for his TV remote control and needed surgery.
• Wigan’s Dave Beasant missed matches after dropping a jar of mayonnaise on his toe.
• Liverpool keeper Michael Stensgaard dislocated his shoulder in 1995, trying to catch an ironing board that had slipped from his grasp.

A 33-year-old J. Walter Thompson copywriter named Daniel A. Cohen is overhauling “Western civilization’s canon of nursery rhymes” and setting “it to hip-hop rhythms,” reports Robin Finn in The New York Times. He’s now selling his disc, called “Bust a Nursery Rhyme” at Wal-Mart, among other places. Sample this: “Humpty Dumpty got out of bed, Humpty Dumpty shined his egg head…Humpty Dumpty climbed to the top, Humpty Dumpty felt the beat drop.” Source: Reveries.com

I am glad that this is here as I am also a major Tetris fan. My main addiction was handled by a gameboy as well. I recall getting it as a gift and spending the bulk of a two day drive to Florida from Pennsylvania playing the game. Needless to say I was hooked. I am looking forward to seeing the falling shapes when I close my eyes and when I look at solid colors again…

This is a cool way to scan the blog universe, (aka Cosmos) and see how you or sites you read are being referenced…

Who links to you?: “Find out at Technorati.  “Right now, we’re still building this site, so lots of things are still broken.

I don’t give a damn what Donahue says: When a guy goes bouncing across the hood of your car and he’s wearing acid-wash jeans and a Members Only jacket, that’s pretty much justifiable homicide right there.

The Onion just kicks ass

That was some cheap move, capturing me in some trap. You didn’t have the guts to come looking for me yourself, ’cause you know you wouldn’t last five minutes in the depths where I live. But you knew exactly what would make me come sniffing around, and you set me up good. Well, chalk one up for you, mister, and enjoy it, ’cause it’s the only one you’re gonna get.

I am finally the first listed return for a search on Google.

This site features a host of weird ads for Japanese products starring the biggest names from Holyweird. A good place to start is this crazy clip featuring Arnold.

Give a man a fish…: “Give Bill Gates a fish, and he’ll buy some tartar sauce to go with it.

Teach Bill Gates to fish, and he’ll build a tartar sauce factory and eventually corner the market. The tartar sauce won’t be as good as some other tartar sauce, but people won’t mind, they’ll just think that that faint hint of mercury is how tartar sauce is supposed to taste.

Give Steve Jobs a fish, and he’ll give it back, being a vegan and all.

Teach Steve Jobs to fish, and you’d just be wasting your time, because he really doesn’t eat fish, I just told you.

Give Larry Ellison a fish, and he’ll eat for a day.

Teach Larry Ellison to fish, and he’ll come up with a better fish, one that can’t be captured or killed. (Leading to ecological catastrophe as the lesser fish are killed off by this new fish.)” Source: inessential.com
