This is close to my house in German village. It's kind of hard to see, but on the graves are written the names of the teams the Buckeyes have beaten so far this season. Pretty funny, and the new graves are out there mere minutes after a victory.

Who would even think of this?

The trailer for this film dropped on the internet earlier today. It is based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller (same guy who wrote Sin City). Looks quite sylistic and looks like there will be some good quotable lines. It is a fictionalized account of the Battle of Thermopylae, in which a vastly outnumbered alliance of Greek city states held back the Persian army. Check out the HD one if you can.

Here is a youtube version, the QT version looks a lot better though.

This song is by the Bloodhound Gang and consists of lyrics that are nothing but Ralph Wiggum quotes. The song is about a year old and was on the album Hefty Fine. I had never heard it till today though. Pretty funny stuff.

Seen this before I think, but figured it was worth posting.

1. Your house plants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up.
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff".
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going to drink that much again."
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save Your sorry old ass.

Thought this was pretty funny.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A car dealership's tongue-in-cheek radio advertisement declaring "a jihad on the automotive market," will not be changed, the company said, despite drawing sharp criticism that the ad's content is offensive.

Gotta love the wiki. Here is a list of movies sorted by the number of time the word fuck is used. A movie I had never heard of tops the list, but Jarhead, one of my favorite movies from last year cracks the top 3 (suprisingly).

The top 10:

Nil by Mouth
Casino
Jarhead
Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat
Goodfellas
Narc
Made
Dirty
Running Scared
Bully

The complete list.

String Theory, the most promising explanation of how our Universe operates at all levels is apparently close to being done. Why? Lack of experiments to prove it.

A regional election in Germany saw a province dip back into the darkest parts of the country's past. In the end, the result was as bad as everyone had feared. Germany's neo-Nazis pulled off a widely anticipated electoral coup last night with the far-right exceeding the 5 % hurdle necessary to win seats.

Known as "separation Saturday". Some thoughts from the days games.

1. Ohio State vs. Cincinnati. While off to a slow start had a pretty dominating game over Cincinnati. Antonio Pittman is a very good runner, they should go to the run game more. I felt Ginn actually had a turd sandwich of a game, but the stats will tell a different story. Smith, very reliable. Glad to see the 2nd team in there getting some work, Small looks like he will be a good receiver, and the TE got involved today too.

2. Notre Dame vs. Michigan. Well, guess the party is over in South Bend. One of two things, either Michigan is back or ND was very over rated. Maybe a bit of both. Brady Quinn got absolutely hammered today. And Mike Hart of Michigan had a monster day. Circle that 3rd weekend in November, I have a feeling there will be a battle in Columbus that day. ND got pwned today, plain and simple.

3. LSU vs. Aubrun. LSU blows the last second chance to come away with a win at Auburn. A really classic battle here of 2 defensive powers. 4 yards away from winning this one were the Tigers. The SEC is so tough this year, best conference in the nation by far. Very exciting game, very hard hitting. On a side note, the CBS announcers are far superior to the ABC and NBC ones. They really called the game well and that stadium was rocking. You could feel the energy.

4. OK vs. Oregon. The end to the OK - Oregon game was insane. Oregon scores a TD to go up by 1 with 30 seconds left. OK gets a big run back right off the kick off to get within field goal range. Then, inexplicably, with no time outs, OK runs Peterson! What are they thinking?! No time outs, less than 20 seconds, you take one shot to get closer, then kick the field goal. I don't care if you have Jim Brown and Barry Sanders in the back field, you don't run the ball with no time outs in that situation! They managed to spike the ball with 2 seconds left, then Oregon blocks the field goal! Great ending here, very exciting, but some rather questionable officiating towards the end.

5. Miami vs. Louisville. Louisville gets maybe the biggest win in their programs history. Miami is in big trouble this year, and Coker is probably on his way out. Miami did a pre-game cheer on the logo in the middle of the field, Louisville wasn't too happy about that. Good job Miami.

6. USC vs. Nebraska. Nebraska actually looks much improved, but they are no match for the football factory that is USC. If I hear one more thing about great John David Booty is, a guy who has played in 2 games against 2 rather mediocre defenses, I may throw up.

7. Clemson vs. Florida St. Well I guess we can say that neither Miami or FSU are very good this year. Not taking anything away from Clemson, but FSU used to be a powerhouse in the ACC. Now they lost at home to a Tigers team riddled with injuries.

Those are the games I saw the most of. There were many others that I didn't see like Florida vs. Tennessee, but with so many games on, there are only so many I can take in.

Is it just me, or do the pictures of Tom Cruises baby look like he bought a Tom Cruise wig and glued it to the baby's head?

Earlier today as I'm sure all have heard by now, Steve Irwin aka the Crocodile Hunter was killed by a stingray. He was filming a new special for Animal Planet, and was actually just filming a bit about the coral reef, when the stingray hidden underneath the sand stabbed him through the heart with its poisonous barb. According to Wikipedia, this was only the third known fatality in Australian history from a stingray attack, and the first since 1945. As of 1996, only seventeen worldwide fatalities have been recorded.

He may of come across as an idiot to some, but his passion for animals was always evident and he has probably been seen by millions across the globe, as well as teaching millions about animals. Tragically he leaves behind his wife and 2 young children.

YTMND is full of tributes today, some more tasteful than others. However, being a giant nerd and all, this one struck home for me the most. I'm not a religious man, but I like to think that his spirit does live on in all of us and we can bring the enthusiasm he showed on a daily basis into our own lives.

During my browsings of the internets today, I found this, The Angry Nintendo Nerd. I have never so much as heard of this, but I thought it was pretty funny especially for the games that I have played before. Warning, this is not safe for work and if you are offended by foul language don't bother.

Well college football is here. I was watching the Boston College/Mississippi game tonight, and they showed the Mississippi QB take one of the hardest hits that I have seen in awhile against Clemson. Here it is slowed down, but it looked worse at full speed. He was actually fine and led the Eagles to a victory in that game. But this must of really hurt.

Two weeks ago, one of Cindy Kienow's regular customers left her a $100 tip on a tab that wasn't even half that. This week, he added a couple of zeros. Kienow, a bartender at Applebee's, got a $10,000 tip from the man, for a $26 meal on Sunday.

According to this, Pluto is no longer a planet.

Ah well, Pluto had a pretty good run. The thing I'm worried about is how schools will have to change the pneumonic devices to remember the planets....
