Facts To Make You Unpopular at Parties
Aug. 25th, 2005 07:50 pma.k.a. random things in my brain today.
- A new transportation bill passed a few weeks ago that approved $231 million to build a bridge longer than the Golden Gate and taller than the Brooklyn Bridge. Where does the beautiful example of human engineering plan to go? It connects a tiny island in Alaska with 50 people to the closest inland town of 8,000 people. That's about $29,000 per person. Our tax dollars at work and thank g-d for Republicans being anti-big government and not wasting our money on federal....oh.
- The cost to manufacturing a regular car is EXACTLY the same as building an SUV. That $10,000-20,000 mark-up on the price tag? Pure profit into the pockets of the car industry.
- Flesh-eating maggots and blood-sucking leeches will now require FDA approval before being used by surgeons. What's that you say? You didn't know they were already being used? Wait, maybe I should wait and continue this one until after you've eaten a full meal.
- An american moving to Singapore got arrested for having 58 porn videos, one of them entitled 'Lord of the Strings'. I love that I know this because some reporter deemed it necessary to the news story. Remember that kid who got caned a like 10 years ago? Yeah, me neither. Well, only just barely. But if you google "singapore cane teenager", voila!
Okay, I should stop rambling about facts and IMing with cute boys and do something productive with my evening. Ooh, my cell phone is ringing. I have a new ring: Still D.R.E. and it makes me so happy to hear whenever it goes off.
