Police Dog Accused of Racial Profiling

A Pennsylvania councilwoman has accused her borough’s lone police dog of racial profiling, leading to calls that the canine be killed.

Dolpho, a 5-year-old German shepherd, can sniff out the difference between marijuana, heroin and cocaine. The dog came from Europe two years ago and is trained in drug detection and patrol.

But councilwoman Wanda Jones Dixon said Dolpho can also tell the difference between blacks and whites, and should be put to sleep.

Vanilla Coke Review

So I picked up my first bottle of Vanilla Coke today and I’m still not sure what to make of it. Is it good? Kinda. The closest I can come to describing it is it’s like drinking the left over Coke of a Coke Float. Or, really, its more like the foam from a Coke Float, just a hint of Vanilla that grows the more you drink it and eventually can get overpowering. At first it’s a slight Vanilla, but the more you drink, the stronger it gets, almost to the point of too sweet. I’m not sure I can finish my bottle here.

I can see kids digging it, all 28 grams of sugar per serving (which a 20 oz bottle has 2.5 of) but I’m not sure adult taste buds can take it.

Would I recommend buying it? Sure, why not, give it a try, but I probably won’t get more than this one bottle myself, it’s just not my bag.

Targeted Serendipity Weblogs aren’t just glorified pages of links and rambling personal sites; they are an antidote to mass media. According to the author of “The Weblog Handbook,” Rebecca Blood, they are also bringing creative expression to everyday people when they need it most.

And have I linked to Microcontent News yet? I’m gonna add a perma-link too.

At Airport Gate, a Cyborg Unplugged Steve Mann, an engineering professor at the University of Toronto, has lived as a cyborg for more than 20 years, wearing a web of wires, computers and electronic sensors that are designed to augment his memory, enhance his vision and keep tabs on his vital signs. Although his wearable computer system sometimes elicited stares, he never encountered any problems going through the security gates at airports.

The Incredible Rubberband Machine Gun! It’s the only fully automatic machine gun that’s legal in all 50 states! This beauty is a fully functional machine gun with TWELVE rotating barrels and a live action trigger. Loads 12 bands per barrel for a whopping 144 rubber bands that shoot off as fast as you can turn the handle! Great fun for kids of all ages. MORE than just an amazing machine, this is a true work of art.

To: ALL *NSYNC FANS How are you guys? I’m OK, but a little upset, and disappointed…I wanna show you all something that I’ve ‘definitely’ noticed within the past 6 months or so. First of all…When *NSYNC first started out, they clamed to be 5 Young Christian Men, Clean Cut, No Dirty Music, And So On. Now Look at whats happened…..The world and Satan has totally destroyed them and their faith in God, recently, they’ve all denied there faith in God, and have admitted to being embarrassed about it, some of them have problems with cursing, and they’re not clean cut at all really, just listen to some of there songs like – “Digital Getdown”, “You Got It”, “I Just Wanna Be With You”, “If I’m Not The One”, “Supersize It”. (Watch the Supersize it performance, I have it taped)

Rapture Letters After the rapture, there will be a lot of speculation as to why millions of people have just disappeared. Unfortunately, after the rapture, only non believers will be left to come up with answers. You probably have family and friends that you have witnessed to and they just won’t listen. After the rapture they probably will, but who will tell them?

Skeletor Looks for a Job

Man, do I suck…

…but not for free. Yeah, yeah, it’s been a week since the last big update and it’s not because I’ve been busy, I’ve just been lazy. Well, that and work. But not too busy, so I have no excuse. But, hey, it’s my damn site and I’ll do whatever I want! Yeah! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

Actually, I’ll see what I can do. In the meantime, check out past links (there are a lot) and talk in that message thing on the left there and all that good stuff. Or pick up a book. That would be cool.

Ah, turkey day

Hey, folks, I know, I slacked off Tuesday and, guess what? I’ll probably slack off today too! HA! And, beyond that, there probably won’t be much here until next Monday because of the horrible four day weekend I’m FORCED to take. Darn, what a life, eh? I might pop in time to time, we’ll see.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.

Update: Okay, no real slacking, just a bit.
