Oil 'burped up' in woman's home A co-worker found an article on CNN today about a woman in Texas who struck it rich. She had come home from work to find crude oil bubbling out of her toilet. Our combined sick humor was fueled by this picture that looks like something else happened. This just fuels my theory that Potty Humor is the most accessible type of comedy.  Cross cultural, age neutral, non-gender specific... gotta love it!   12:00:58 PM    comment []  trackback []

friends and acquaintences "Still about "friends". Knowster. The problem with Orkut is simple: it lets you label as friends anybody you know. So the choice is too damn binary. Is Anita Hooker your friend or not? Yes or no? So I have a simple suggestion: add a new variable: "know." As in, Do you know Anita Hooker? Yes or No? If yes, is she a friend? That's it. Hate to bump 120 people down from friend to acquiantence, but it would make a lot more sense. Doncha think?"
