The most valuable supply of worthlessness on the web
I haven’t had a post about strange signs in a while. Here’s a new set of them that I discovered recently.
There are more. Many are stranger than this. Some are unidentified. All can be found at DarkRoastedBlend.

You know, there are some things in life you just don’t want to get stuck with – Paris Hilton, any of the competitors from any reality TV show, and this:
That, dear folks, is a male anti-masturbatory device from around the start of the 20th century in Great Britain.
This metal device is one of a number of similar devices which were invented in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries to prevent masturbation. A leather strap which would have kept it in place is now missing. Until the early 1900s, many people regarded masturbation as harmful to a person’s health, and it was blamed for a variety of ailments, including insanity.
Personally, I’m nearly blind from over 25 years of masturbation, so I could barely see the device at all, but the name sounded like something I needed to share. Hell, it’s amazing I can even type with all the hair growing on my palms. (via boingboing gadgets)

Check out this awesome poster the boingboing gadget blog put on display. No idea what the text says, but clearly it is further evidence of the coming robot uprising. Note that the image creator must have been coulrophobic – a clown on a pig getting shot at by a robot with a energy-cannon for a belly-button. That, dear folks, is what is called “pure win” by gamers on t3h intarpip3s.

I have no idea why I’m so fascinated with these crazy interchanges, but as much as I wouldn’t want to drive them, I do like to check out the pictures.
That’s just one. There are another half-dozen or so on the hosting site.

I’d read about this recently but not checked it out yet – here is a practice session of a performance of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, as put on by 1500 Filipino prisoners.
And there’s more. Hit my source for the movie to get the scoop.

When you catch someone digging up a corpse for the purpose of, ummmm, getting it on with the dead, what do you do? Turns out that in Wisconsin, they don’t do much at all.
Three men who dug up a young woman’s corpse to have sex with it after seeing her obituary photo cannot be charged with attempted sexual assault because Wisconsin has no law against necrophilia, an appeals court ruled Thursday.
A judge was correct to dismiss the charges against twin brothers Nicholas and Alexander Grunke and Dustin Radke, all 21, because lawmakers never intended to criminalize sex with a corpse, the District 4 Court of Appeals said in a 3-0 ruling.
Guess I’ll have to start making fun of Wisconsin almost as I make fun of Arkansas now.

Russian news agency Interfax is reporting that thieves have stolen a three-tonne meteorite from the yard of the Tunguska Space Event foundation, whose director said it was the part of meteor that caused a massive explosion in Siberia in 1908.
. . .
“It winds up that it disappeared said [foundation director] Lavbin. “Our colleagues are establishing what got lost, where the rock is and why they only came to us about it now,” he said.
Hmmmm. I can’t even begin to hypothesize how that could be stolen?
Oh, and comments after the article suggest that this news item is bogus. I still posted it, because I like it regardless of veracity.

As a hardcore gamer, there are some things you just don’t want to hear in reference to games. Anything referring to Barbie is bad. Barbie and Horse appearing in the title is much worse, because you know only one way that could be a good game, yet you also know there is no way Barbie would be in a bestiality pr0n game. Though Mary Kate and Ashley are hotties, seeing their name on any game is a sure sign you’d want to pass it by. But we’ve got a couple of new entries into the games-you-never-want-to-see-developed category.
Did you know there’s actually a Barbie MMO? BarbieGirls.com is the kinda thing that makes hardcore gamers groan, but there is — a pink-festooned, dolls-getting-manicured, ‘tween girl-focused MMO, and moreover, it’s ridiculously popular. In its first 60 days, it signed up three million users. Now it’s up to four million — that’s half of what Second Life has drummed up in its entire lifespan — and growing at a rate of 4500 a day.
. . .
Not to be left out of the competition, the freaky skank dolls of Bratz are getting in on the action with Be-Bratz.com, another ‘tween girls’ virtual world with a real-world component — you buy a $29.99 Bratz doll-slash-USB key, and it comes with some pink computer peripherals (a mouse and pad) that look like Japanese sex toys.
Please – if you ever hear that I’m playing these games in any serious manner, just shoot me. Neither Barbie nor Bratz should ever exist in a game title that references MMOs. (via Kotaku)

I really can’t even understand intolerant people like this. I mean, I’m a hateful and intolerant person, but not on this scale.
Rev. Phelps says God hates Minnesota, the “land of the sodomite damned.”
The Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., plans to stage protests at funerals of victims of the 35W bridge collapse to state that God made the bridge fall because he hates America, and especially Minnesota, because of its tolerance of homosexuality.
. . .
The signs that the protesters will wave will read:
“God cast down the bridge… Thank God for 9/11… America is doomed… God hates fags… God hates fag enablers… God hates Minnesota.”
Um, WTF? See, the church I go to and the God I believe in teach tolerance and love. Even people who do evil (and given that I have some very close friends who are gays or lesbians, I don’t even agree with their view that homosexuals are evil) deserve love, compassion, and our prayers, according to the biblical teachings I was exposed to.
Maybe Phelps and his followers never learned about Jesus and that whole New Testament thing? (via Deep Something)

I just recently upgraded my cell phone to an LG enV VX9900. While searching online for a decent protective cover for it, I stumbled on this special kind of ugly snap-on faceplate for a different phone. Apparently, it is covered with Swarovski crystals, which is somehow supposed to make me desire adding the ugly to my phone enough to pay almost $150. There are two different faceplates, so be sure to click on each to seem them in their full ugly glory.

Man, people like this really peeve me. Enough for me to feel we need harsher punishments for people who intentionally cause harm to children – thus the price of one bullet question above.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – A Florida woman accused of using aliases to adopt 11 New York children received as much as $2 million in child welfare payments even as she starved, bound and abused them, police said Tuesday.
. . .
Authorities believe Leekin held the adopted children like prisoners in her Port St. Lucie home, often handcuffing them together and forcing them to soil themselves because they weren’t allowed to use the bathroom.
. . .
Leekin’s lawyer said his client denies the allegations.
Every time I read crap like this, I think how much we need another update to the comic character Vigilante (and his updated version known as Vigilante). Read the full article to get a better idea of just how bad this was. I’ve left out some of the more disturbing details. Sounds like the kind of thing that would make one of the children who have since moved out turn all Samuel L Jackson on the worthless ass of this woman some day.

I’m noticing the WTF? category often coincides with the Stupid category on the blahg. Well, in instances like this, I think that is a reasonably accurate way to categorize the information that follows.
A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.
Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently rejected, building the so-called “Gay Bomb.”
OK, so they considered and then rejected the idea. But really, the way to make men more interested in sex than in fighting is to, well, suggest they have sex instead of fight. Provided there are enough willing women to put out for the men, that’s the end of the necessary weapons and attack planning.
See, I should be a military planner – I totally understand men’s sexual desires more than the current planners.
