Is your printer really out of ink?

How deceptive. Printer companies *may* (notice I said may not will) be ripping you off, making you buy a new cartridge for your ink-jet when you really don't need one just yet. That is, your printer may read "empty" for your ink cartridge, when in actuality there is still quite a bit left over to use.

The above is a link to an article about something called melamine. Check it out. I hope it is useful. Just another one of those shocking eye-openers.

Images you probably think were "photoshopped" or otherwise doctored

15 images you will not believe aren't photoshopped

15 MORE images...



I didn't really believe these were real until I saw the original links the person posted along with these pictures. Number 6 (from 15 more images) I thought was for sure "photoshopped", but if you watch on the youtube video you'll see that it isn't fake. Well, for those of you who have already seen the bird before... well nevermind then. Nothing to see here.

Mutant/Unexplained "powers?"

Mutants? Super Powers?

Interesting article I found thanks to someone on my facebook. I don't much care for the the way the person wrote the article but it's an interesting article nonetheless. I particularly like the one about the Swiss man who's got a jet pack. Pretty awesome!

Lack of a good night's sleep causing memory loss? Other problems?

Circadian Clock, memory, and sleep

I found this Dr. Mercola article talking about getting good sleep and how if you don't get enough sleep, this can cause you to forget stuff you learned the previous day. There's also some great links in this article, so if you're curious about it, check 'em out. If you find this article useful, I would forward it to people you know, especially if you know they are having problems with sleeping or with too much GABA, etcetera, etcetera. There's also other information too, it's not just about memory loss.

Improv Everywhere Group

A friend of mine told me about this youtube video that he found from this group based in New York city, New York called Improv Everywhere. This group basically does street pranks, or maybe what you could call 'surprise missions.' Basically they go around and do things that people don't know they are going to do, calling them 'missions' according to the text in the beginning of each video. For example, the first video I saw (and the one my friend showed me which got me interested in the group) is of this huge group of agents who are told by the leader that at a specified time they will all just freeze in place like as if someone were to pause a movie and the characters appear frozen. Of course people are wondering what's going on; it's kind of funny but at the same time kind of eerie because people just stop what they are doing. The location in this one is Grand Central Station in New York.

Anyway, they seem to have some interesting ideas, sort of a spin on the 'you're on candid camera' thing. You can check out more videos and learn more at their website, here. They have their videos up on the site itself using something called revver, but they also (obviously) have an official youtube account with which they use to post their videos as well.

LOL - Lots of Laughs

LOL wow this is funny stuff. I don't know if anyone is familiar with engrish.com, but it gives you some well needed laughter when you're having a bad day for one thing. Anyway, this site is really hilarious with all the improper translations over in the Asias. I think it's mainly a site for Japan and China, but I can't be sure. They recently updated the website, and there's now a convenient link for "most popular engrish" on the left-hand navigation. There's 100 of them. Sure to give you some laughs. I hope you enjoy this site as much as I have.
