First bubble man, now bubble woman

This ad appeared adjacent to an article by Ann Coulter.



Are they kidding? Why would anyone waste money on whatever they're selling. The ad itself probably works better to boost testosterone. Well, maybe it's not as effective when it's in close proximity to Coulter--the anti-testosterone.

Bubble man

The following ad appeared in my hotmail window. Who is this ad directed at? Does anyone in the world actually want to look like this? Even the genitals appear to be "blown up". Okay, maybe that wouldn't be so bad.

Misheard lyrics?

I was just looking at/ listening to a Youtube video of Styx's song Babe. I love this song but right near the beginning, I believed the lyrics posted on the video were incorrect. So, I checked the lyrics on about eight different lyrics sites and they all agreed with the vid I was watching and disagreed with me.       I then listened to (and watched) another video and sure enough, the lyrics on-screen seemed incorrect to me and were different from what my ears were telling me I was hearing. I must hear something different than what everyone else hears. What do you hear?

Do you hear "My train is going. I see it in your eyes--the love, the need, your tears."?

Or do you hear something else?

I'll post what I hear down below the two videos. The first one is the original recording; second is a live performance. The lyric starts at about :49 of the first vid and at about :44 in the second one.
















What I hear is "My train is going. I see it in your eyes--the love beneath your tears."

What do you think?

Google is smarter than I thought

I was searching for a recent article by Ann Coulter, so I clicked on my "google" bookmark, clicked on "news", then started to type "coulter". As soon as I hit the "r" key, low and behold...

Shenanigans

I just realized that I used the word "shenanigans" twice in the last five postings in this blog. Got me to thinking...ever notice how shenanigans are always in groups? I mean, how often have you seen a single shenanigan? I mean besides here. They are almost always in a group. The same goes for "antics". You rarely read or hear about someone's antic. They are always chock full of antics. I guess a person with one antic isn't all that interesting. You need to have at least two antics to be noteworthy.

We have a long way to go

If you've ever felt like the whole world is out to screw you over, relax. You're not paranoid--you're probably right (depending on where you live)! And now you have proof. The following image illustrates the level of government corruption measured as perceived by citizens of each respective country as well as other measures such as the amount of transparency, etc. The darker red colours denote extremely corrupt nations. The darker blue defines less corruption. This is the 2012 version.

(Click on image to enlarge.)


It does not paint (pun intended) an encouraging picture, does it? Most of the world is steeped in corruption. No wonder so many people still suffer in poverty and otherwise.

Here's a chart using the same data:

Katy Perry was quite surprised

Yeah, I was about as surprised as Katy Perry looks by the photo below, but not for the reason you might think. I added the dog to the image...which seemed to me was missing from the original shot. Either a dog was missing or Perry's mind was. ;) The dog might explain her look of astonishment.









What the heck was going on in that moment the shutter snapped? Maybe she had a flashback to the evening before when she was high as a kite and dancing with a dog? French kissing a dog?

Just a bit too obvious


Oprah Tweets how much she loves the Microsoft Surface tablet...from her Apple iPad. One wonders how much Microsoft paid her to say so...and how pissed Microsoft is at her...and how hysterical Apple is at the whole shenanigan.
