Quest for Lunch


So I'm watching the movie "Quest for Fire" on hulu.com and it's the scene where the canibal neanderthals are having a nice hearty meal of human flesh. Occasionally on hulu, they run little ad bugs along the bottom of the sceen. Is this what Chili's had in mind?

New Band Names

A while ago I posted a blog entry about how you can get a great 80's band name from randomly clicking the captcha on the ticketmaster.com site. They have since updated the captcha and the band names are better now. After about 15 min of clicking, here are the top 30 generated names I got from that site.

Apparently Criminals Don't have Fax Machines

Transcript of a conversation I had with the bank over a credit card bill.

Bank: Your payments have been posted to another account, you need to call XXXXX to get this straightened out.
Me: OK, what is the account number so that I can explain this to this person specifically.
Bank: We can't tell you that over the phone.
Me: OK, can you send it to me in an e-mail?
Bank: No we don't have statements in electronic form. We can fax it to you.
Me: Um... OK
Bank: What is your fax number?
Me: XXX-XXX-XXXX
Bank: OK we'll fax it to you in 24-48 hours.

So, you can't verbally tell me the account number over the phone but you can fax it to me (over the phone lines) to a number that I just gave you? So, aren't you really just telling it to me over the phone in a different format? I guess criminals don't have fax machines. Stupid criminals.

Happy Bar Mitzvah Seth

I rarely post youtube videos here but this is another great example why youtube.com is a national treasure. Feel free to stop the video at anytime.

Can I pass 8th grade science?

JustSayHi - Science Quiz



Apparently I can, and I can get pretty much the same grade I would have gotten in 8th grade without studying. Which I didn't.
