Here is where you'll find all sorts of randomness that I decide to share online. I have given up on the "fancy" blogging services and started to use Posterous due to it's ease of use.

I call BULLSHIT on this "Muscle Building Secret" ad

This picture demonstrates BEFORE (Fat Slob) and AFTER (Douchebag).  Is one really better than the other?

The bullshit part is the fact that they actually expect us to think that this guy made the following two transformations:
 
1)  He lost the gut and put on that much muscle mass in 4 weeks.  This is completely impossible and I'd like to meet the fitness expert that can sign-off on these being legit before and after pictures.
 
2)  In between workouts he was able to put aside quite a bit of chair time at the local tattoo parlor.

Oh, if only I had the time to draw up a Lego model. I have a feeling that if I start now (8pm), I will be done around 9am tomorrow. I'll have to try this when I have the time.

Our Trip (2 weeks ago) to see Richard Dawkins in NYC

It's been 2 weeks and I'm just now getting around to posting about it.

Jess and I went to the New York Academy of Sciences to see Richard Dawkins speak on October 19th, 2009.  He talked about his new book (The Greatest Show on Earth) and took questions from the audience.

It was pretty cool because of the small setting.  There were only a couple hundred people there and we got to sit in the 3rd row.

Below are some pictures that unfortunately didn't turn out too well.  For some reason, neither of us are looking at the camera as he signed my book.

Columbian children riding long dangerous cable over raging river to get to/from school each day

I heard Kevin Smith talking about this video on SModcast today. It's funny because we have all sorts of luxuries here in the US, yet I can't just hop on a zip line like this to go places. Instead, I have to get in the boring car.

Funny "DON'T let the dentist fool you" advertisement

I found this ad quite funny:

The top picture is priceless.  I would think that they could find a "model" that didn't have a HUGE gap in her teeth.  Plus it's just funny that she seems so damned happy about it.

The bottom picture appears to feature a bullet hole in the one tooth.  Don't these advertisers have someone that takes a second look at these ads before they're published.

About the actual product ... Why I would I trust a process that a 'mom' discovered?  That's on the same line as taking Airborne "medicine" simply because it was invented by a schoolteacher.
