Link of the Day: http://www.buriedlede.com/projects/sweater.html Kevin F Sherry cleaned out his closet and found his entire collection of 80's sweaters. What better to do with them than model them and post them on a website?

Ha ha ha. Go to Google. Type in Arabian gulf. Click 'I'm Feeling Lucky'. Tee hee.

If at first you don't succeed...

Alin Prica, the blind Romanian who stole a car and smashed into a tree last month has done it again! Literally. Alin has again stolen a car - this time with another blind dude and a somewhat sighted dude instructing him as to where to point the steering wheel.

To his credit, he did manage to drive 25 miles this time before smashing into a tree. Last time, he only made it a tad less than a mile.

Go, Alin, Go!

Cell Phone Etiquette

Some schmuck went to a performance of the Danish Symphony Orchestra in Copenhagen the other night, but forgot to turn off his cell phone.
Boy was he embarrassed when somebody called him. Infuriated by the ringtone in the middle of his orchestra's art, the French conductor Marc Soustrot immediately halted the concert.

The orchestra remained silent as Marc waited for the ringing to stop. Once it stopped, he had them start all over again from the top.

(Personal note: I was at a Lyle Lovett concert a couple years back...when someone's cell phone rang during it, he took the phone from the audience member and advised the person on the other end of the line that his friend was "kind of busy right now, can he call you back?" Tee hee.)

I'm an Excellent Driver

A 78 year old dude was driving his vehicle down an 80mph expressway in eastern France when his onboard GPS computer suddenly told him to "Make a U-turn immediately."

So the septuagenarian hung a U-ey in the middle of the expressway as directed and, shockingly, caused a nice auto pile-up.

'Nuff said.

Wanna get rich? Put your food on eBay.

We all know about the Blessed Grilled Cheese Virgin Mary of the past month. Now we have the Kellogg's ET nutri-grain nugget. Seems Chris Doyle was just about to pour milk on his cereal and, well, eat it, when he noticed that one of the pieces had an uncanny resemblance to ET. Of phone home fame.

Acting quickly, he rescued the nugget from the bowl of lowlier, more common pieces, and lacquered it to preserve it. And put it up for auction on eBay.
"I just didn't think it would go this far," he said. "I was just trying to find someone who feels the same way about E.T. as they do about the Virgin Mary."

It sold for $1035.00.
