"The clergyman, in his 50s, told nurses he had been hanging curtains when he fell backwards on to his kitchen table. He happened to be nude at the time of the mishap, said the vicar, who insisted he had not been playing a sex game.The vicar had to undergo a delicate operation to extract the vegetable, one of a range of odd items medics inSheffield have had to remove from people's backsides or genitals." - Alejandro S. via Bookmarklet

Funny how they always "fall" on these objects. - Jonathon

Tilt-Shift photography is basically the use of of camera movements on small and medium size cameras. In many cases, it refers to tilting the lens relative to the image plane and using a large aperture to achieve a very shallow depth of field. The result is a blurring of parts of the image for de-emphasis purposes and the possible effect of reducing huge objects to miniature models. - Jonathon via Bookmarklet

"Buy Nothing Day Confronts the Economic Meltdown Press release: “Now in its 17th year, Buy Nothing Day is celebrated every November by environmentalists, social activists and concerned citizens in over 65 countries around the world…”" - Jonathon via Bookmarklet

Amen to that. - Jonathon

KevyKev, lol. I don't know what I was thinking. - Kamath ॐ

"If you live in the US or Canada, like it or not, your English pretty much sounds the same to the outside world...and the Google iPhone application.   Those outside this area have been having less success with the Google iPhone voice recognition application it seems ... at least that's what some of our commenters have said. " - Jonathon via Bookmarklet

So Jonathon... My very best "cor blimey guvnor" accent just won't cut it? BTW, where the 'eck have you been for the last month? - Fox Tucker

I think the app was a good test of whether I still have a British accent. As it failed to understand even a basic word like "Pizza" I think I'm still in good shape :) - Jonathon

cuz they 'give it up' more easily? Never know when the next shag is coming? am i right? am i? - Fox Tucker

I like this bit from the article:- When a man propositions a woman, she can respond in one of two ways; she can say “yes” or she can say “no.” When a woman propositions a man, he can also respond in one of two ways; he can say “yes” or he can say “yes, please.” He has no realistic choice to say no. - Jonathon

"Don't hold your breath waiting for the iPhone to support Adobe's Flash software: Apple's terms-of-service agreement prohibits it. Although Adobe says it is working on a version of its popular Flash player for the iPhone, Apple is unlikely ever to permit it to appear in the handset's App Store, no matter how much customers want it." - Jonathon via Bookmarklet

*argh* - JasonTFleming †

Anyone making use of this in their products? - alphaxion via Bookmarklet

The PS3, and XBox 360 both support this. There are a number of servers and consumers out there. I use mediatomb on linux to serve media to my PS3. - matthew john ernisse

I use Media Link to play Mac content on my PS3. Love it. - Jonathon

Happy Belated Birthday Sarah! - David Cook

"Hey, you know that post-Marxist-afro-cuban-experimental-Wiicore band you always reference when you're trying to impress people with your obscure taste in music? Cut it out, everybody knows it doesn't really exist. Maybe next time, try referencing one of these hilariously obscure (and real) genres instead." - Stupid Ninja (aka Tina) via Bookmarklet

I'd forgotten about Candlemass - death metal at its finest. - Jonathon

Funny list, although I'm not sure obscure Candlemass or doom metal are. Then again I also kinda "nintendocore" so maybe I'm not the best judge. - Costa Walcott

The Art of DeTouch explores the manipulation of images related to the human form. - Jonathon

"Kayabuki, a Japanese tavern in Utsunomiya, recently employed 2 Macaques monkeys to act as waiters. Fuku is 12 years-old and Yat is a young 4 years of age and both seem to enjoy their new work. japan-monkey-waiter01 Restaraunt Uses Monkeys as Waiters picture Kaoru Otsuka, owner of the tavern, says the 2 monkeys are their household pets, but one day he noticed one of them mimicking a waiter by giving the customer a hot towel in the restaurant. Mr. Otsuka thought it would be an interesting idea to have them actually serve the customers." - Stupid Ninja (aka Tina) via Bookmarklet

How much do you have to tip a monkey? - Jonathon

Do they wash their hands after flinging poo? - ha3rvey

Love how he practically throws the beer at the clients :D - Rui

How many times have you seen the same variations of witches, vampires and superhero costumes? Boring, I say, utterly unexciting. So, we decided to bring you the wickedest wearable stuff, bordering on insanity, that would be next to impossible to forget - the kind of costumes that would shock in their wake, rather than just mountains of candy. - Jonathon via Bookmarklet

"In January 2009 Clark will be presenting a solo show: "Down The Drain - The Legacy of George W. Bush" at Ruby's Clay Studio in San Francisco, California. This urinal of George W. is a sneak peak at what Clark is creating for this show. You can see and flush this fully functioning piece at his mission district studio by appointment." - Cee Bee via Bookmarklet

Let it go. - Anika Malone

no: it's rewarding bad business....well on that count, they did it with the banks, although the car industry has been a lot worse for a lot longer - Duncan Riley

GM has been struggling for years. If they haven't been able to turn it around yet, it's their own fault. Would anyone really miss seeing Pontiacs on the road? Other side of the coin is all the Joe Six Packs it will affect in an already struggling economy. But regardless if it stays or goes, tons of people will end up getting fired. For GM to stay in business, radical measures will need to be taken. - Matt

These are sculptures by New York sculptor David Rogers. Yes, you see correctly, these are giant bugs made out of wood, or more precisely various combinations of whole trees standing or dead, green saplings and other forest materials. - Jonathon via Bookmarklet

The 2008 Breeders' Cup World Championships were held last weekend at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.

I agree so much, I almost passed out, - Vijayendra Mohanty

Looking through "hot" female friends late-40s & early-50s to post sexy pics, but they've done a great job not posting public pictures (For most, I think their "looks" have created too much attention over the past 25 years). No luck. :-( Some good photos of early-40s women (e.g. Sandra Bullock 44 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...), but often pics were taken in late-30s. Was Nigella's photo taken recently? - Mitchell Tsai

Madonna http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M... looks good at 50 (but she's not a personal friend). One friend looked great at 52, but in the past few years (now 55) hasn't fared so well. - Mitchell Tsai

"Autumn is here - a time for transition. In the northern hemisphere this means cooler, shorter days, the appearance of colorful foliage, harvest time, and feasts and festivals. Collected here are 34 photos of the season, from around the world." - Jonathon via Bookmarklet

Cee Bee: Really? OK, 6:30 am it is. :D - Secret Ninja Steven

MISINTERPRETING BAD PUNCTUATION SINCE 2005 - Jonathon via Bookmarklet

So you’re racing down the road in Burnout Paradise and you’re all, “Was that an Obama ad?” Yes, yes it was. EA has confirmed that the Obama campaign is running ads in several of its video games including Madden NFL 09, Need For Speed: Carbon and, as you see here, Burnout Paradise. - Jonathon via Bookmarklet
