The most valuable supply of worthlessness on the web
I’m sure someone will get offended by this. But for everyone else, here is a list of rejected Christmas carol ideas for the disturbed, as sent to me by someone at work:

I don’t know my color codes well enough to do this. But I have known geeks who are so focused on their current project that I could see one of them doing something like this.

I haven’t posted one of these in a while, but I still read XKCD every few days to see the latest comics there. I usually get a good laugh out of them. But when I see the really good ones, I have to share. I used to believe this would happen, and I bet most other kids did, too.

Reuters has this tale of a criminal who didn’t practice due diligence in choosing a target or escape plan.
A would-be thief proved himself lacking in key skills like reconnaissance and driving after he tried to pull a heist beside a police-dog training site and then got stuck in the snow trying to flee.
Police in Edmonton, Alberta, said officers were training with a dog at a business late Tuesday when they heard an alarm sound from the building next door.
Yeah, that was bright.

From the Bash.org site I recently linked to:
User1: what should I give sister for unzipping?
User2: Um. Ten bucks?
User1: no I mean like, WinZip?
Please, someone else tell me they find that as funny as I do.

Working through my huge backlog of “Stuff I want to post but usually don’t want to spend time writing up” I found this awesome picture. I have no recollection of where I got the picture. I don’t remember what story went with the picture. But in an attempt to clear at least one item from my backlog, here is a warning against disposal of radioactive animals at one location:

I love it when a plan comes together. And this pilot pulled together a plan beautifully.
A fast-thinking pilot, with the help of passengers, fooled a gunman who had hijacked a jetliner flying from Africa to the Canary Islands, braking hard upon landing then quickly accelerating to knock the man down so travellers could pounce on him, Spanish officials said Friday.
. . .
Speaking to the gunman during the hijacking, the pilot realized the man did not speak French. So he used the plane’s public address system to warn the passengers in French of the ploy he was going to try: brake hard upon landing, then speed up abruptly. The idea was to catch the hijacker off balance, and have crew members and men sitting in the front rows of the plane jump on him, the Spanish official said.
Seems every once in a while, you do see bitching hard karmic payback. (via boingboing)

Have I posted this grainy video before? I can’t recall (and don’t see it on a quick site search), but I laugh everytime I see it, so posted before or not it goes up now.
