If you're going to act like a ninja, I recommend starting with "preform martial arts while in a black jumpsuit" and not "jumping over a five-foot fence."


Attractiveness, religion at work and play, crooks at work, hell of a different sort, why buy when you can rent, and stocking stuffers gone awry

Someone really ought to look up the meaning of the words "Protect and Serve"


Oversimplified, overly polite, more good news about dihydrogen monoxide, as if the real thing wasn't enough of a health hazard, a sea you don't want to dive into, and more sage advice


Cheap and charitable, it's all downhill, just cheap, cheap and malicious, a welcome return, more signs North Korea is evil, a course we could not have in North America, and words of wisdom.

Microsoft to pay RM to de-index from Google

Talk about desperation. This is the equivalent of Burger King paying DOT to have a tollbooth set up in front of Wendy's drive-thru...

That was in the original episode. I remember them having revised the description for the Imaginationland episodes. I'm probably wrong, though.

White House Corrects Conference Call Number After Directing Reporters to Sex Line

Anytime a mistake like this is made it's just too funny. I almost spit Dr. Pepper on my keyboard when I read it. I also wonder how my reporters might have stayed on the line for a while....

The publisher I worked for put out a gardening book that inadvertently listed a gay sex hotline number instead of a gardening supply place's number. They also quoted Satan on the bible verse page-a-day calendar without realizing it. Pretty fun stuff.

I just found something a bit like this from long ago:

The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Ontario presently has an exhibit of at least some of the Dead Sea Scrolls and in addition to information about the scrolls themselves and the time period they were written in, the exhibit also looks at the impact of the Torah and other ancient Hebrew biblical texts over the centuries and the following story, among a few others, is described in the exhibit:

In 1631, King Charles I ordered 1000 bibles from an English printer. The printer omitted the word “not” from the seventh commandment (the one dealing with adultery) in this printing. The king was infuriated and ordered all the copies destroyed. This book became known as “the Wicked Bible” and at least a few copies survived and are worth quite a bit money these days.
