The Swiss are skipping over the small time drugs like marijuana, and supporting the hard-core addicts with heroin and footing most of the bill. Yep, its now legal to shoot heroin in Switzerland. WTF! Does this seem a little bit odd to you? Read on….. (more…)

IBM, being the geniuses that they are, have finally decided how to split a restaurant bill amongst several people. It took them how many years in business to figure this out????? They are so proud of this fact, that they applied and received a US Patent for it!
Patrons at a restaurant or bar can pay at their table using credit cards, without involving the restaurant or bar cashier and/or wait staff. Patrons are assisted using this system in dividing the bill by displaying the amount due (including tax) and allowing each patron to enter the amount they wish to pay. When the initial bill is presented, a balance due will be displayed and the indication will be provided that the bill has yet to be paid in full. As each transaction is entered, a running total will be displayed indicating the remaining balance due. When the running total reaches zero, the bill is paid in full, and an indication will be provided, such as by illuminating a green indicator light or by displaying a balance due of $0.00.

The end is near folks!!

In Atlanta, the city council is considering an amendment to ban baggy pants. They feel that this type of fashion sense is distasteful as it shows off the undergarments of many men. Also…they claim to be looking out for the physical health of these patrons… ‘ “It kind of doesn’t make sense. It is hard for people to walk,” Martin said.’
I made a new category for this post; “Just Plain Ridiculous,” and for good reason. I read this news feed online, and almost shit myself senseless. Since when has it become the right of our government to control how I want to wear my pants. What if I choose not to wear any pants at all? Are they gonna ban the right to show off legs? I don’t understand how this is any different then just wearing a plain bathing suit. At least pants cover up the legs, who cares if they are low? It’s not like he has nothing else underneath it!
The best part of this story is the racial profiling. I was pretty pissed at the way the Atlanta city council put some of their points, as it was a blatant method to complain about the dress of certain ethnic groups.
