WORD OF THE HOUR

Fragile.

I MADE TEA

I found this pretty cool.

I made tea.

EMOTIONS

Sometimes, they suck.  And make us irrational.

RACIST SPANISH SPEAKERS

At first, I thought it was just the Spaniards.

But now, it’s the Argentinians too.  Seriously, what the f***?!

And to top it all off, this excerpt from the Guardian:

“Last week, the Guardian’s revelation that the Spanish Olympic basketball team had posed for an advertising campaign with the skin around their eyes pulled back led to accusations of an “Anglo Saxon conspiracy” aimed at undermining Spain’s bid to host the 2016 Games. A few days later, a second image, showing members of the country’s Federations Cup team posing in identical fashion, was found on the Spanish Tennis Federation’s official website.”

“Anglo Saxon conspiracy”??! Really?!  I’m glad the Chinese beat the Argentinians.  Now I just have to wait for the “Redeem Team” to whoop the Spaniards.  Racists.

MOBILE MARKS

Does this ever happen to you?

[via engadget]

I would say this definitely happens to more often to guys, since women have handbags.  It’s that marking you get as your jeans gradually wear down.  Your mobile has been in your pocket in the same spot one too many times.  It’s even more apparent with a slimmer cut.

DECISION

I will forgo the iPhone 3G, and wait for the upcoming HTC Dream with Google OS.

I just hope it’s competitive in the design department.

PHELPS = HERPES

This quote from a Kotaku editor was hilarious.

Mini-Bash: Daddy, do you like herpes?
Me: Herpes?
Mini-Bash: Herpes.
Me: Herpes?
Mini-Bash: Yes, do you like him?
Me: Him?
Mini-Bash: Yes, Herpes. The swimmer. In the Olympics.
Me: Herpes in the Olympics?
Mini-Bash: For America.
Me: Oh. You mean Phelps?!
Mini-Bash: Herpes.
Me: Yeah, Herpes is a great swimmer.

In Japanese, “Phelps” is pronounced “Ferupusu” (フェルプス). And “herpes” is “Herupesu”(ヘルペス).

Hahahahaha.

OUCH
