This is something you’d expect to see in The Onion, but it’s real: I promise!
Description: This recall involves all athletic cups that have the Under Armour logo, including adult, teen, and youth sizes. The cups were sold individually and as part of a set with compression, slider, or jock shorts.
Incidents/Injuries: Under Armour has received five reports of cups breaking, including an injury involving cuts and bruising.
If you haven’t yet seen Stuff White People Like then I suggest you go look at it right now. Seriously, click on that link and check it out right now. It’s hilarious… mostly because it’s entirely true.
In that same vein my friend, Ben Thomas, started up a new site: How white am I? It’s still very much a work-in-progress (it’s only been public for less than 12 hours) but it’s still very funny. Go take the quiz and see what your score is: personally, I’m 39% certified organic white bread.
Ironically silly Ben doesn’t realize that white bread isn’t something white people like, we eat whole grain bread that hasn’t been bleached! Pass it along to your friends, white or not.
… and that drugs are illegal, otherwise you would have written The Pac-man Dossier. Yes, this is serious and I’ve even read some of it. It’s an amazing piece of research but was obviously written by an unemployed man under heavey drug use.
A snippit:
If Pac-Man is moving left, Pinky’s target tile will be four game tiles to the left of Pac-Man’s current tile. If Pac-Man is moving right, Pinky’s tile will be four tiles to the right. If Pac-Man is moving down, Pinky’s target is four tiles below. Finally, if Pac-Man is moving up, Pinky’s target tile will be four tiles up andfour tiles to the left. This interesting outcome is due to a subtle error in the logic code that calculates Pinky’s offset from Pac-Man. This piece of code works properly for the other three cases but, when Pac-Man is moving upwards, triggers an overflow bug that mistakenly includes a left offset equal in distance to the expected up offset (we will see this same issue in Inky’s logic later). Don Hodges’ website has an excellent article giving a thorough, code-level analysis of this bug, including the source code and a proposed fix—click here to go there now.

Ryan’s beard is gone! He’s been growing it for about six months and today he finally shaved it off.
As judge of the competition, I have the great pleasure of announcing the grand winner of Ryan’s Great Contest. And before I reveal the winner, I’d like to share the variety of entries. There were quite a range of choices and some very hilarious requests.
For example, Uncle Ben asked if this was being judged like “The Price Is Right,” where if everyone goes over, does the person who bets $1 wins it all! Well, nice thought, Uncle Ben, but your selection didn’t win.

Drumroll please……
Congratulations to…… BEN THOMAS!!! His guess of 7 grams was exact, right on the money!
Here are some great photos of Ryan pre- and mid-shave.
So Ben, let Ryan know what you want (out of beer, wine, cider or mead)! Thanks to all for entering!
The deadline is about 12 hours away and so far I’ve only gotten four — that’s right, four — submissions guessing the weight of my beard. Don’t forget to get your guesses in to me before tonight, with such little competition the odds of you winning are much higher.
