I bet you didn't know that there are many misfortunes that can be visited upon your middle finger, and that the loss of it carries unsuspected health hazards. Until now, that is.

Ways To Lose Your Finger

Most people don't realize that giving the finger triggers a complicated, and sometimes dangerous mechanical process in the body.It's hard to believe anything could go wrong after the flip of a successful bird, but this extreme extremity is vulnerable to a cornucopia of maladies. An evil bacteria, an inflamed joint, even a speeding train could all put an early end to a promising finger-flipping career.

But there is hope.

Our man Frankenclam (over at alt.bad.clams) waxes beveragologicaly botanical:

On Fri, 21 Nov 2003 "The Mighty Tim" put his thumb in his one good eye and pulled out a plum of a post...

>> Also, as an imbiber >>of tea, I have taken the liberty of growing my own. Yes, it's true, I have a >>fukien tea tree now

Yer a clammy after mine own cup 'n saucer, that's for sure. There's simply nothing more rewarding than growing one's own tea, and I am so glad that you've finally joined the clamoring throngs in the know. I took up the art, and it can only accurately be referred to as "art", many years ago, and have a number of prize plants, which I water regularly with water just off its second boil.

Matter-o-fact, one of the little dears just yesterday burst into its Fall blooms, perfuming the air far and wide, nearly out to the front hall.

The laughably bad Lincoln Journal Star is at it again.

This morning, right there on the front page, yet another example of "Whitey Don't Get Out Much" also known as Clueless Heartland Newspapering.

Dudes, that photo isn't Eduard Shevardnadze. It's noted alcoholic and former Russian President, Boris Yeltsin. Eduard Shevardnadze look like this.

Oh hell, I'd better just put the photo here, in case someone at the paper reads my blog.

Say it with me kids:

"What The Hell Am I Doing Here?"

Shame on Apple!

And yet, it's still a million times better than Micro$oft.

Anti-advertising to out iPod's dirty secret.

iPod's Dirty Secret is a three-minute movie made by an iPod owner to protest the fact that Apple won't replace his 18-month-old iPod's dead battery. He's engaged in a one-man guerrilla anti-advertising campaign to stencil a warning over Apple's street posters promoting iPod.
