Fly Target in Urinal Improves Aim
Today I found a picture that made me smile. Given some psychological stimulus to enhance focus when relieving oneself, it surely proved effective at reducing spillage by 80% says the source. I wonder if it would work with pets.
Top 10 Reasons Why the #10 is Used

Santa: a Misspelling of Satan? Christmas killer.
Santa killed Christ? There is some validity to that statement, but that doesn’t mean Christ or Christmas is gone. Christ is very much alive and swinging after the resurrection according to the Good Book. Christmas still means the celebration of Jesus’ birthday (although his birth most likely occurred during spring, when the census took place)....
Proof that Girls are Evil?
Somebody mathematically proved that girls are indeed evil. I am in no way sexist, but I find this pretty humorous despite that it should literally read time + money. I found the image here. No clue as to who the original author is.
Urinating in Public
It is illegal to relieve yourself behind a tree at a park or on a dark desert night because it is considered littering and a public nuisance. Most of you probably don’t see the big deal, but are we being fair? Dogs get to do it. Are we giving affirmative action to our pets, and...

Exercises that Nobody on Earth Can Do
I’m in the midst of writing a list of good exercises for a future blog entry, but I decided to compile a harder list for the advanced fitness experts that think they can handle the challenge.

Uncommon and Custom Instruments
Odd music requires odd instruments. This website has a ton of pictures of old instruments you won’t see in an American pop group. There are also experimental hybrid musical instruments and information behind them. Most of them are probably too rare for my price range, but I can try to make my own Cigar Box...
Your Phone and Desktop Dirtier than Toilet
Some research done at the University of Arizona shows that your desk and work area may have more bacteria on it than a toilet seat, 400 times more according to the study. I’m sure it varies in area, but they had 7,000 different locations in New York, San Francisco, Tucson and Tampa. I guess it’s...
What to Say in an 18 Wheeler
Ever since the internet was invented, world-wide-web users had to learn a new language- shorthand messaging lingo and text acronyms. We our losing touch with other cultures and underground lifestyles of society. If you don’t have a semi-trailer or don’t know a truck driver, you may be unaware of some interesting Trucker slang. So the...
