90210 Day

Yes, I know, this is a ridiculous day to acknowledge. But it flooded Twitter and Facebook as this “thing.”  Like Mafia Wars and Farmville.  Or like celebrating Flag Day.  Or Boxing Day.  And what the hell is Boxing Day anyway?  I don’t know.  But here’s to 90210 in all of it’s incarnations, I guess.   And while we’re at it happy 931 area code day because, that’ makes sense too.  Or how about it’s Friday!  Don’t worry, we’ll revisit this further down the list.

More Trouble in the Gulf.

Are you kidding me?  As soon as we think that maybe this whole BP oil spill thing is behind us, an oil platform explodes and catches fire.  Thank God nobody died this time.  But holy smoke, just when you thought the waters couldn’t get any blacker…well, it’s blacker.  But what’s another month of pollution between friends, right?  I stopped counting the months anyway.

Stephen Hawking to God: You Didn’t Create The Universe!

In a soon to be released book, Stephen Hawking argues that God did not create the universe.  Spontaneous creation evidenced by gravity is the reason that the universe exists.  We are waiting for God to respond to Stephen’s hypothesis about the creation of the universe, but he was currently out of the office for the Notre Dame game  and couldn’t be reached for comment.

Samsung Galaxy (Pad)

Yes, it’s true. Apple has the iPad and Google now has the G-Spot.  I know that’s not the name of the new competitor to the iPad, but it should be.  I mean, frankly, someone in the marketing department at Apple should have seen the jokes coming from a mile away and vetoed the iPad’s name.  And now that Samsung has released a Galaxy line of Android powered devices to compete with the iPad we have no choice but to champion the new devices that also boast front and rear facing cameras, WiFi, bluetooth and 3G.  Tell me you didn’t just make a funny moaning noise as your read this.  You see?  The G-Spot isn’t such an unreasonable name after all.

T.I. Back In Jail

Frankly, I’m shocked.  And not exactly for the reasons you might be thinking.  Yes, he’s probably not the brightest bulb on the planet especially when you consider that he’s on probation for gun charges.  He should probably  never leave his house – If I were him, I’d stay home.  But I’m not a famous rapper.  Fine.  But what I want to know is how a cop smelled marijuana coming from his car as he was passing it.  Sure he did.  That must have been quite the party…epic…Method Man and Dave Matthews proportions.  I buy that.  Where are Chris Tucker and Ice Cube when you need them?

Skateboard Fail (Courtesy of Failblog)

You have to see this because sometimes telling God that gravity somehow created something that makes sense really doesn’t make sense.  Not if you’re riding a skateboard.
