OK so this one is slightly involved, but it’s totally worth it. Take a look at this eBay auction. It’s a dude selling a Ferrari. Nothing all that unusal, right? Next click on the seller’s feedback link. (It’s the “66″ next to the seller’s name). Still nothing that exciting there - just a normal list of feedback. Excellent buyer, A+++, whatever. Now, click on the item number of the last thing the guy bought - from “aftenterprises”. In case this changes, that would be item 180056785182.

Now that is funny. I guess it’s true what they say about Ferrari owners.

I’m pretty sure I’ve read this story once before, but it was pointed out to me again by JWZ. For anyone who hasn’t already seen it, this first-hand account of living with a tapeworm is hilarious.

Tapeworms sure do sound like an effective weight management device, though… what do you think, more or less bad than anorexia?

Oh, and be sure to read some of the reader-supplied comments at the end of the above story - there is some truly cringe-worthy stuff in there. I hope none of that stuff ever happens to me. Ever. Seriously.

I’ve been spending a lot of time on phone and video calls to Australia lately, for various reasons. The project I’ve been spending most of my time on lately is based there (which I’m totally hoping will score me a trip to Sydney), and I keep finding myself doing phone interviews of aussies.

Anyway, the audio wasn’t working very well this afternoon on the Sydney side of the VC meeting, and the microphones are in the ceiling (!?!) in that room, so one of my colleagues decided to get closer to them. Here he is dancing on the table so we can hear him.

So, while I do have a cat with a water fixation (Balin), I’m very glad that he hasn’t figured out how to do this. Check out this video.

(please ignore the “View this video on Google” link for now - I’ll get that part of my video embed plugin working later)

I pity their water bill.

Naughty elevator - DSCN0016c

I love other languages. From the flickr description:

A lot of elevator call buttons in Denmark display this curious message; it actually indicates that the lift is “in motion”.

Wooo … this collection of images made me laugh out loud. Favorites: No Head, Do Not Set Yourself on Fire (which can only be from Burning Man), Flatulence Emergency. I’m sure everybody else on the planet has seen this already, but it’s all new to me, and I love it.

So, while I’m still all pissed off from the previous rant, I’m getting a great amount of amusement from this: Fuck You And Your H2. Someone had better cheer me up before I stab somebody.

So I discovered a new web comic, Married to the Sea, which is amusing in an amusing way. There’s just something about it. This, for example is great. So is this. And this. Maybe I just have a strange sense of humor.

This right here is the coolest thing I’ve seen all week. It’s a catapult.  It launches pigs, enabling you to smite your enemies with flying swines at distances of up to 15 feet. Way cool.
