Dogs in cars.

Such a simple concept. Numbers 23, 28 and 97 are particular faves.

That shoots that theory.



Friday, May 9, 2003 - LONDON - Give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, the theory goes, and they will eventually produce the prose the likes of Shakespeare.



Give six monkeys one computer for a month, and they will make a mess.



Researchers at Plymouth University in England reported this week that primates left alone with a computer attacked the machine and failed to produce a single word.

But I digress.


This little nugget is from their latest newsletter:


It must be quite dull being a web designer, having to build sites to sell crap stuff all day. So we salute this fellow who, in his boredom, has crafted one of the most preposterous front pages ever to grace a site about pie packaging.

Probably the most painful video I've seen in years.

Major, MAJOR fremps. A 13-year old girl forgetting the words to The National Anthem in front of 20,000 people at the NBA playoffs. But the Blazers' coach, Maurice Cheeks, steps in for the John Hughes' ending, and all's right with the world. What a classy guy.

Watch the video
