Prison Finds New Way to Deter Escapes: a Bear on the Grounds

Digg: “I love that bear being right where it is,” Warden Burl Cain said
Monday. “I tell you what, none of our inmates are going to try to get
out after dark and wander around when they might run into a big old
bear. It’s like having another guard at no cost to the taxpayer.”

After Mister Jalopy
posted a link to mmk_kobayashi’s “tasteless, frequently mean,
sporadically NSFW, sometimes jaw dropping and generally hilarious”
Flickr photostream my productivity ground to a halt.

BSG Closing Animations

Someone has collected a bunch of the hilarious closing animations from the end of BSG:

Charlie Rose interviews himself about technology in edited video

I don’t know why I thought this was so funny, but I was rolling…

Boing Boing:
“Filmmaker Andrew Filippone Jr. edited an episode of Charlie Rose to make it look like he’s interviewing himself.

Something has happened to PBS favorite “Charlie Rose.” The
erudite conversations and sober intellectualism have been replaced by
an absurd world where illogic, inane dialogues, and open hostility
rule. The one-on-one interview between Charlie and his guest begins as
usual but quickly goes awry, so much so that Charlie is warned that,
somewhere, a man named “Steve” is “not happy.” Though this seemingly
random statement might confuse us, Charlie understands it for what it
is — a threat. But who is “Steve” and why is he angry? And why does
the mere mention of his name stop Charlie cold? Using appropriated
footage from a single episode of “Charlie Rose,” filmmaker Andrew
Filippone Jr. creates something both disturbing and farcical in
“‘Charlie Rose’ by Samuel Beckett.”

Rickrolled: How a little web hoax got huge

Digg: “The New York Mets announced that “Never Gonna Give You Up” had received
5 million online votes to become the winner of the team’s eighth-inning
sing-along song, thanks to sites like Fark and Digg that stumbled upon
the vote and urged users to pick the Astley croon.”

Farmer Performs Tai Chi to Make Cows Happy

Neatorama:

“Dairy
farmer Rob Taverner believes that a happy cow is a productive cow, so
every morning he performs tai chi in front of his herd to get them “in
the right moo-d to produce lots of milk”:

The 44-year-old organic farmer visits the animals at
9am each day to run through his ten-minute routine of slow movements
and breathing techniques – dressed in his distinctive overalls and
wellies.

He said: ‘Tai chi is all about leaving your problems behind and
getting into a better zone and my mood definitely transfers to the cows.

Like all animals, they are very receptive to human emotions and can sense feelings such as relaxation, calmness and happiness.

‘Some people think what I do is ridiculous but I have some very
content cows and I would do anything to keep them that way. As any good
dairy farmer will tell you, a happy cow is a productive cow.’”

Confirm your geeky marriage with CAT5 connector wedding bands

DVICE:

“They say opposites attract, but that certainly not the case in any
marriage where both parties are willing to wear wedding bands made
using male and female 8P8C Ethernet connectors. Fashioned from sterling
silver by designer Jana Brevick, I guess you can couple your rings
together when you want to engage in geeky ersatz sex. The female ring
is available with the plastic insert in orange, black, turquoise, or
white, and each set sells for $175.”

Shakespeare’s Pulp Fiction

This is classic…

Boing Boing: “Livejournal’s Ceruleanst’s produced a couple of passages’ worth of Pulp Fiction, as written by William Shakespeare:

J: And know’st thou what the French name cottage pie?
V: Say they not cottage pie, in their own tongue?
J: But nay, their tongues, for speech and taste alike
Are strange to ours, with their own history:
Gaul knoweth not a cottage from a house.
V: What say they then, pray?
J: Hachis Parmentier.
V: Hachis Parmentier! What name they cream?
J: Cream is but cream, only they say le crème.
V: What do they name black pudding?
J: I know not;
I visited no inn it could be bought.
