"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

There are large electronic billboards along the Causeway Bridge connecting New Orleans to the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. The Bridge is about 24 mile long. The boards are used to provide warnings about road/weather conditions up ahead, and for other messages to motorists. My favorite is the one that goes something like this:
"DO NOT READ WHILE DRIVING". Cracks me up every time. |

In a customer relations FAIL, the owner of Goomba's, a Palm Coast pizzeria, is charged with pistol-whipping complaining customers:Calzone Complaint Leads To Assault
Authorities Say Restaurant Owner Assaulted Customer Who Complained
POSTED: 9:41 am EST January 28, 2009
NEWSVINE: Calzone Complaint Leads To Assault
PALM COAST, Fla. -- An angry restaurant owner pistol-whipped and beat a customer who complained his calzone order was incorrect and requested a refund, authorities said.
Goomba's Pizzeria owner Joseph Milano is charged with aggravated assault and battery with a deadly weapon. |
Hat-tip to Dumb as a Blog, which quoted from a positive review of the restaurant:This family-run eatery is owned by Brooklyn-born Joey Milano and his wife Kristy. Joey's parents are also involved in running this family restaurant.
From the Sicilian appetizers to the marinara sauce (a secret family recipe) luscious cannoli, cheesecake and Tiramisu, “everything is homemade,” says Kristy. The rice balls appetizer, a house specialty, is a blend of rice, ground beef and seasonings that are breaded and fried. Understandably it “sells out like crazy,” Kristy says.
Put Goomba's on your agenda to experience a little slice of Italy right here in Palm Coast. |

How is this a fail? It sounds like the owner was just delivering an "authentic" Sicilian experience.

Well, yes... but he forgot that his own surveillance camera was catching the action.

Here's another from FAIL Blog, in video form. The lesson of this FAIL is to always have distinctively different ring tones downloaded into your clothing iron and your cell phone.

Update on this one. Looks like the guy was a mob hitman, in a witness protection program. Was.
Who'd have guessed?

Why do I get the feeling that I have seen this in a movie? If it hasn't been done, it surely will be done now.
Also, there is a myth that Mafia guys are smart. Hmmmm... |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

I have this horror story from a colleague of mine that was teaching biology in high-school.
One of her students was pregnant, not a rare occurrence apparently, and, during a sex education class, decided that 'Neisseria is such a nice sounding name, I will call my daughter like that'. |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Carl Sagan - 1996 |
