One Safety Plate Please

Making the rounds ...

Exploding office chair kills boy from below

image

A 14-year-old boy in China was killed when his chair exploded, sending chunks of metal into his rectum. The bleeding this caused killed him.

The alleged explosion came from the gas cylinder that was in the base of the chair, the part that allowed the user to adjust the seat up and down.

No, I have no idea how much the kid weighed, or how hard he sat down, or what brand of chair it was. Or even if this is fake. It’s one of those blog stories that’s going around. Pretty sure the original starts out here ... if you can read Chinese, please tell us what it says.



So, while you spend the rest of your afternoon working while standing up in your cubicle, here are some nice teeth. With hair too!. More? Fine with me.. Ok, now you’re getting greedy.

COMPUTER GEEK BUILDS HIS OWN GIRLFRIEND … STILLS AND VIDEO. BIZARRE BUT INTERESTING.

Hey, was it the Mills Bros. or the Ink Spots who once sang,

I’m gonna buy a paper doll that I can call my own.

I didn’t post the whole article here so use the link provided for more photos and text.
It is interesting but ..... ??  Don’t know.  Kinda creepy having this around wouldn’t ya think?

Hey, remember an episode of The Twilight Zone with this very subject?  Stared the late Jack Warden.  Hmm. Funny I recall that.

Computer geek too busy for romance builds himself the perfect girlfriend

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 9:06 AM on 11th December 2008

If blind dates, speed dating or websites haven’t led you to the love of your life, you could always take a leaf out of inventor Le Trung’s book - and build your perfect partner.

The 33-year-old has created Aiko - a ‘twenty-something’ robot who not only looks feminine and sexy but also does household chores and his accounts.

But despite her shiny hair and 32-23-33 figure, Aiko - whose name means love child - is no trophy partner.

She is accomplished too with a talent for maths and a 13,000-sentence vocabulary - in English and Japanese. She can also recognise faces, read aloud from a newspaper and give directions.

Aiko, a fembot made from silicone and A.I. technology, is a genuine labour of love for Mr Trung.

He has taken out credit cards and loans, sold his car and spent his life savings on perfecting the machine - at a cost so far of £14,000.

The former software programmer, from Ontario, Canada, said he never had time to find a real wife but has not built Aiko as a sexual partner - although she is touch-sensitive and reacts if she is shown affection or is hurt.

Another public service announcement

This post is neither from or about Europe

As we belatedly found out in the previous post, September is/was Library Card Sign-up Month. September is almost over, so it’s probably too late to sign up for a library card this year. Better luck next year. Please mark your calendars.

I thought it would be a good idea to find out what October holds in store for us. I’ve found that October is one very busy month indeed.

Filipino American History Month
National Arts & Humanities Month
National Hispanic Heritage Month
Italian American Heritage Month: Italian Heritage and Culture Month
Polish American Heritage Month
Celiac Sprue Awareness Month
Health Literacy Month
Healthy Lung Month
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
National Dental Hygiene Month
National Down Syndrome Awareness Month
National Infertility Awareness Month
National Lupus Erythematosus Awareness Month
National Orthodontic Health Month
National Physical Therapy Month
National Spina Bifida Awareness Month
National Spinal Health Month
Rett Syndrome Awareness Month
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Awareness Month
World Blindness Awareness Month
National Pharmacist Month

I don’t see how I can fit all of that into my schedule. I got a head start on being aware of Down Syndrome thanks to Governor Palin. That will help.

That is all.

September is was Library Card Sign-up Month.

(Who decides these things?)

This meant . . . a poll. Another useless poll. Full of useless facts. Facts like:

two thirds (68%) of Americans currently own a library card.

I’m not sure I believe it is that low. I’d like to know their definition of ‘American’. Do they include hostile invaders illegal aliens? That would bring the percentage down.

Some other worthless ‘facts’ from this poll:

News For The Gullible

Chinese Cat Sprouts Wings




It’s sad really, that Fox News, the one news outlet that even tries to avoid a huge leftist slant, has fallen so low that they now run stories usually reserved for the gossip rags. What’s next, a recurring series on what Bat Boy has been up to lately? Secret inside scoops that Obama is actually an alien? Hey, I’d believe that!



image

While most cats are known for their ability to land on their feet, some in China may soon be able to glide to safety on their mysterious wings.  A tabby from the Qingyan province in China recently sprouted a pair of fur-covered wings on his back during a hot-weather spell, the U.K.’s Daily Mail reported.  Immediately, the unique kitty became a spectacle to behold, as visitors flocked to see the unusual feline.  One cat owner, identified only as Feng, claimed her pet’s wings were the result of stress from too many females desiring to mate with him, the Mail reported.

Yeah, that’s right. This old tom was getting too much, so he grew wings so he could fly away for a bit of rest. Oh brother.

But the owner later grew fearful that the tabby would either be stolen by envious admirers or that it would fly away and decided to cut one of the two flappers off, World Entertainment News Network said.

Oh that was “sheer” genius. Now nobody can prove the story by examining the cat. What’s that smell? Um, I think the litter box needs cleaning.

Cats with wings can be explained through several scientific explanations, including leg deformities, huge mats of hair or a condition known as feline cutaneous asthenia or FCA, which causes the cat’s skin to grow in heavy folds on its back or shoulders, online magazine Cryptozoology reported.

They can also be explained by putting a fat cat on a diet, then pulling on the loose skin and taking a picture. And laughing your ass off when this nonsense becomes international news.

policeman ‘victimised’ over opposition to homosexual event

Please allow me to state at the top as it were, that I do not personally have anything against these folks except the following.
Certainly not all but a very vocal and perhaps large group want me and apparently this cop, to accept their queer (as in very odd) behavior as normal.

Well okay.  I will concede that perhaps for some this is very normal.  For them however.  For nobody else.  But not only do they expect, no they demand that this be accepted as normal, they go further.  They want everyone else to celebrate their abnormality.  The police dept. in this case also want their officers to wear a pink ribbon.  How utterly absurd and totally STUPID!

I am not religious. However, I fail to understand how quoting a biblical phrase and believing it is somehow “homophobic.”
Why is it homophobic of me to think that there’s something not quite right in the world if a guy would rather kiss me (GAK) then say Kate Moss. That’s not homophobic.  That’s the norm.

I do not have a problem with people who just happen to have a lifestyle that really is at odds with nature.  And it by golly is.  But I don’t hate anyone because they’re homosexual.  I don’t even dislike them for that reason.  But I have a hell of a problem with all this homosexual pride crap.  And damn it give me back that word you hijacked.  Gay is NOT queer damn it!  You are.  Get used to it. 

It also occurs to me that very many homosexuals (not all of course) are perhaps somewhat ashamed or embarrassed by their proclivities. If they weren’t, they would not go to such lengths to make the rest of us buy into their self delusions.  They wouldn’t need parades nor would they insist that we are never to be critical and if we are, there should be laws against it.  A police department should NOT insist that cops wear any kind of anything to promote anybody’s lifestyle whether homosexual or heterosexual. 

The homosexual community must deep down be rather a sad lot if what it take to make em happy is a pink ribbon worn by cops to prove what?

I just can’t wait to see what comes next. Hey, some folks are attracted to little kids.  The majority of us think that is sick beyond measure but hey wait.  For some ppl it’s ... just normal behavior.  How long will it be before they want parades and ribbons also?


Christian policeman ‘victimised’ over opposition to gay queer pride event
By David Thomas
Last Updated: 8:31PM BST 20/07/2008

A Christian policeman is taking his own force to an employment tribunal over claims that it “harassed” him because of his religious opposition to homosexuality.

Graham Cogman, a constable with 15 years experience, is taking action against Norfolk Police as he claims he was victimised for refusing to wear a pink ribbon on his uniform to mark a ”gay homosexual pride” event, and for questioning the force’s stance towards gay queer acting men and lesbians.

The 49-year churchgoer, who circulated emails to officers quoting the biblical stance on homosexuality being a sin, claims he is being singled out because of his beliefs. The force has responded by saying it will not tolerate any “homophobic behaviour”.

His case echoes that of London registrar Lillian Ladele, who recently won a tribunal after refusing to officiate at same-sex civil partnerships because of her religious views.

PC Cogman, a father of two, said reconciling his religious beliefs with his job was becoming more difficult because the force’s stance on homosexuality was at odds with his religious views.

“The blatant support for homosexual rights in Norfolk Police makes being a Christian officer extremely difficult,” he said.

“I am not undertaking this action lightly but I have to make a stand when things become so blatantly biased against me just because I hold a faith.”

His complaint stems from a circular email sent to officers in early 2005 encouraging staff to wear a pink ribbon on their uniforms during Gay History Month.

After receiving the email, PC Cogman sent a reply to his fellow officers featuring biblical quotations about homosexuality being a sin. He objected again the following year when a similar email was again sent to officers.

He was subjected to a disciplinary tribunal and fined 13 days’ pay.

A spokesman for Norfolk Police yesterday said that PC Cogman’s behaviour “fell well below the standard which we expect”.

“Whilst the force fully respects the officer has strong beliefs, it is only correct that he respects the beliefs and wishes of others,” he said.

“The force will not tolerate any form of homophobic behaviour.”

At the beginning of July, Islington registrar and devout Christian Lillian Ladele won an employment tribunal after claiming she was bullied and treated as a “pariah” for refusing to officiate over same-sex civil partnerships.

un-bee-leivable road hazards

CHERRY HILL, N.J.  — Drivers on the New Jersey Turnpike have to cope every day with traffic jams, pollution and even the occasional deer. ( about one every 1/8 mile - Drew )

They ran into a new obstacle Saturday as thousands of honeybees swarmed around their vehicles.

Turnpike Authority spokesman Joseph Orlando said the swarm came from a beekeeper’s beehive that apparently fell beside the highway in Cherry Hill.

The Turnpike Authority was looking for its own beekeeper to deal with the problem.

It’s about 95 today, hazy, hot, and humid. Typical summer day here in Joisey. Hope these folks had their AC on and the windows rolled up. Pity the poor folks in convertibles!

Cherry Hill is the “nice neighborhood” just the other side of Camden, which is the worst hellhole in the state, right across the river from Philadelphia. Nothing says “Welcome to New Jersey” more than picking up your expensive toll ticket and then getting stuck in traffic on a blistering hot and damp summer day, followed by having a zillion bees go on the attack. Highly unusual and yet utterly typical at the same time!

English Civil War ‘ghost’ captured on film.  (That’s the claim. Take a look.)

Well now, I really don’t know what to make of this. How about you? I never buy this sort of thing. After all the centuries wouldn’t we have heard from Caesar
by now?  And surely we’d have heard from Elvis.  Oh yeah, some already have.

English Civil War ‘ghost’ captured on film by paranormal enthusiasts
Last Updated: 8:25PM BST 13/07/2008

A ghostly figure, supposedly the spirit of a dead soldier from a key battle in the English Civil War, has been captured on film by a group of paranormal enthusiasts.

image

The Northampton Paranormal Group caught the figure on camera during a visit to the site of the Battle of Naseby, a field between the villages of Clipston and Naseby in Northamptonshire, last month.

The visit coincided with the 363rd Anniversary of the Battle of Naseby. Members said they heard clunking noises as well as sounds like cannonball fire.

When the group then looked through pictures they took during the visit, they spotted what appeared to be mysterious figure walking out of the dark carrying something in its hands.

Emma Whiteman, leader of the group, said: “The picture was taken about an hour after we heard the noises but we didn’t see anything at the time.

“When we saw it, when we were looking back through the pictures, we were gobsmacked.

“We’re saying that it’s a soldier. Some people can see it sitting on a horse and some people just see it as a walking soldier.”

The Battle of Naseby in 1645 was a key win for the Parliamentarians over the Royalists in the English Civil War.

The battle involved more than 21,000 troops when the Royal army, under Prince Rupert, was beaten by Parliamentary troops led by Sir Thomas Fairfax.

Adrian Perkin, an author and ‘ghost detective’, said he thought the image was a soldier with a musket or pike walking through a gateway.

He said: “If this is genuine it’s a very, very, good example. It’s the best I have seen for many years.”

Sceptics said the effect was caused by the camera itself.

Anne Haddon, of The Naseby Battlefield Project, said: “I haven’t heard anything like this at the battlefield in all my association with it. It’s fair to say I’m a bit sceptical.”

Meet Awe Kooda Bilaxpak Kuuxshish

Obama, Wooing Voters, Takes an American-Indian Name

The newly named Awe Kooda Bilaxpak Kuuxshish—better known as Barack Obama—faced east, the symbolic source of new life. His adopted Crow father, Hartford Black Eagle, prayed over him.

An unfortunate choice of name? Or conscious identification with friends? Awe Kooda/Al Qaeda?

Drew, how do you add categories to this blog? We need an ‘Obamination’ tag.

I Guess She Said NO

A 12-year-old boy and his family said they were searching for the owner of a diamond ring found floating in the San Francisco Bay.

Joe Carter said he saw something floating in the water that appeared to be a charcoal briquette while he was boating Sunday with his father, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday.

However, when the boy took the item out of the water, he discovered it was a Macy’s jewelry box containing a diamond ring—complete with price tag.

“Romance Princess. One-quarter carat. Diamond Wedding Ring. $499,” the tag said.

Carter and his family said they took out a lost-and-found ad on an Internet bulletin board for the ring, which experts said is actually worth closer to $150, but no one has yet come forward to claim the item.

“I think it would be pretty sad to be someone reaching into your pocket for a diamond ring and find out it’s not there,” the boy said. “I hope I can find whoever that person is. That would be great.”

Nah, I doubt this one was actually lost. I bet the owner tried to set up one of those “perfect moment” situations to propose in. The beach at sunset perhaps. And she didn’t show. Or she complained about the sand the whole time. Or maybe she just laughed at him and his stupid ideas. So he got pissed and chucked the thing out to sea. We’ll never know. The only thing we really learn in this article is that Macy’s jewlry is way overpriced. And that isn’t news either.

Of course, now that the press has published the kid’s name, and the brand, style, and size of the diamond, he’ll be swamped by people claiming it was theirs, but oh sorry, I lost the receipt.

The lesson to be learned here, all you young turks, is twofold: a) always save the receipt, b) don’t buy a ring if you aren’t 500% sure she’ll accept it. You don’t need to ask. You should know. If there’s the smallest doubt, don’t go shopping.

This I Just Had to Post About.

Over at her blog Zoe Brain writes about Feminism getting piled higher and deeper. The post is about women in science, and how certain parties get the reason why women are disproportionately represented in certain field so wrong. Zoe is commenting on Math is Hard by Jonathan Kulick. As part of the article Mr. Kulick presents the following quotation.

The privileging of solid over fluid mechanics, and indeed the inability of science to deal with turbulent flow at all, she attributes to the association of fluidity with femininity. Whereas men have sex organs that protrude and become rigid, women have openings that leak menstrual blood and vaginal fluids. Although men, too, flow on occasion—when semen is emitted, for example—this aspect of their sexuality is not emphasized. It is the rigidity of the male organ that counts, not its complicity in fluid flow. These idealizations are reinscribed in mathematics, which conceives of fluids as laminated planes and other modified solid forms. In the same way that women are erased within masculinist theories and language, existing only as not-men, so fluids have been erased from science, existing only as not-solids. From this perspective it is no wonder that science has not been able to arrive at a successful model for turbulence. The problem of turbulent flow cannot be solved because the conceptions of fluids (and of women) have been formulated so as necessarily to leave unarticulated remainders.
(Hayles, N. K. (1992) “Gender encoding in fluid mechanics: masculine channels and feminine flows,” Differences: A Journal Of Feminist Cultural Studies, 4(2):16–44.)

As so many have so aptly observed, the stupid, it burns.

Really odd news

Blind man can see again after having son’s tooth implanted in his eye

WTF??

DUBLIN (AFP) - An Irishman blinded by an explosion two years ago has had his sight restored after doctors inserted his son’s tooth in his eye, he said on Wednesday.
Bob McNichol, 57, from County Mayo in the west of the country, lost his sight in a freak accident when red-hot liquid aluminium exploded at a re-cycling business in November 2005.

“I thought that I was going to be blind for the rest of my life,” McNichol told RTE state radio.

After doctors in Ireland said there was nothing more they could do, McNichol heard about a miracle operation called Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis (OOKP) being performed by Dr Christopher Liu at the Sussex Eye Hospital in Brighton in England.

The technique, pioneered in Italy in the 1960s, involves creating a support for an artificial cornea from the patient’s own tooth and the surrounding bone.

The procedure used on McNichol involved his son Robert, 23, donating a tooth, its root and part of the jaw.

McNichol’s right eye socket was rebuilt, part of the tooth inserted and a lens inserted in a hole drilled in the tooth.

The first operation lasted ten hours and the second five hours.

“It is pretty heavy going,” McNichol said. “There was a 65 percent chance of me getting any sight.

“Now I have enough sight for me to get around and I can watch television. I have come out from complete darkness to be able to do simple things,” McNichol said.

Put the coffee cup down ... you know I’m gonna say it ...

I guess this must have been one of his eye teeth?

Sorry, I can’t resist the really easy ones sometimes.

Man Rapes Sleepwalking Woman

MSNBC

Man charged with raping sleepwalking woman
Homeless, HIV-positive man, 52, allegedly attacked student near highway

CINCINNATI - A homeless man was indicted Tuesday on charges that he raped a college student while she was sleepwalking along a highway near her home.

The woman, a 23-year-old University of Cincinnati student, woke up during the attack and fought back but could not get away, said Hamilton County prosecutor Seth Tieger.

Dexter Ford, 52, was also charged with felonious assault because he knew he was HIV-positive, Tieger told The Cincinnati Enquirer. Police said Ford told them that he is HIV positive, and Hamilton County Municipal Judge Fanon Rucker ordered Ford to be tested for venereal diseases. It wasn’t clear if the woman has been tested.

Wow.  I’m not that familiar with the phenomenon of sleepwalking, but holy cow.  To wake up and find yourself walking down the road would be one thing, but to wake up finding yourself out in the road being raped by a homeless guy is another kettle of fish altogether.

Strange.
