the porno glitch.
16.Nov.2008.16.26
a woman looked at her husband's iphone and found that he had emailed nude photos of himself to another woman.

she confronted him, and he replied that it was a glitch in the iphone software that had been confirmed by a trip to the local genius bar. yes, he insists it was a glitch that causes ranchy photos to be attached to email and placed in the sent items folder even though the lewd message in question waaaaasn't actually sent to his mistress, errr, the recipient.

obviously skeptical, she posted a request in the apple forum. hilarity ensues, at least until apple pulls it.

r. lee ermey returns to the history channel tomorrow night.

his new show, lock 'n load follows the history and evolution of the rifle. not sure it'll have the range of mail call, but it'll probably be worth a watch.

craigslist is working along with law enforcement agencies to curb the number of prostitution ads listed on their site. i wonder if you can still get "dates" on ebay...

you can't marry a comic book character, can you?

a man in japan has started a petition to allow humans to wed virtual characters. the article goes on to list several reasons for such a move, and even says that he's managed to get thousands to sign.

Japanese man petitions to marry comic book wife

they can say what they want about how this makes sense to them, but the closing paragraph is really going to prove how disconnected from reality people can get...

Earlier this month, a woman addicted to manga put out an online message seeking to kill her parents for asking her to throw away comic books that filled up three rooms.

rage against the [taco-making] machine
28.Oct.2008.18.30
today was the day.

this is probably the last mention of free crap for a while. today was the day to claim your free taco at taco bell, thanks to the stolen bases in game one of the (now delayed) world series.

on a personal note, i'm glad to say i was able to hit two taco bells after work to score two free tacos before the 6:00 pm deadline.

i think they were extra-delicious.
