I was 40 minutes late for work today. And unlike my old job, I can't sneak in cause my boss' office is right next to mine and I have to walk past it to get to the door. Luckily, though, my boss thought I was coming in at 2:00, not 9:00. So I could've taken my time instead of rushing this morning. Oh well.

Remember those two jackoffs who wanted sponsors for their college education? Well, they actually went and sold out. First USA, a credit card company, is sponsoring them for a full year of college. In exchange, they have to "spread the First USA-sponsored message of smart budgeting and financial responsibility. Among other things, they will make campus appearances, serve on a student advisory board and publicize financial tips for students on their Web site. In the meantime, of course, they are also attracting millions of dollars in free publicity with an image that is cool, blond and young." They also have the First USA logo on pretty much everything they own. I hope these guys are happy. They've sold their souls to an evil much worse than the devil.

Metallica
Delays Recording As Frontman Enters Rehab
Metallica lead
singer and guitarist James Hetfield has entered a rehabilitation facility to
undergo treatment for alcoholism and other addictions, the hard rock band
said Thursday on its official Web site.
You just know they're
going to somehow blame this on Napster. "Yeah, man, I started drinkin' cause
of them fuckin' mp3s and all the money we was losin'."

I never knew that humans have a blindspot in each
eye. The webpage has a little demonstration so you can see for yourself. It
seems like it's a pretty big area too, funny that I never noticed it before.

One of the few things I learned in computer science classes is that random number generators aren't really random. They use special algorithms that generate numbers that appear to be random. Hotbits, however, generates strings of numbers that are truly random. I don't fully understand the process, but they do it by "timing successive pairs of radioactive decays detected by a Geiger-Müller tube interfaced to a computer." So now when you do a Lotto QuickPick, you have greater chances of actually winning!

Peanut butter slices sounds like a pretty cool idea. They come individually wrapped, like slices of cheese. This is probably a dream come true for you people out there too lazy to actually spread peanut butter on bread. I wonder how they're going to keep the peanut butter from sticking to the wrapper, though.

And now for my daily whining:It's the 3rd week of summer school, meaning it's half over. My stupid 2.5 hour math class is getting really tedious. I'm tempted to skip class tomorrow but I can't cause we have to turn in homework which I haven't done yet. Ah well, 3 more weeks...
This concludes my daily whining.

20-Year-Old 'Has Tongue Bitten Off During First Ever Kiss'
I don't know which is weirder: the fact that the guy's tongue was bitten off, that the woman he was kissing is 56 years old, or that the woman was charged with acts of sorcery.

Here's a pretty inventive way to smuggle yourself into the US.
