Cut Steak with a Laser and Make a Vegan Angel Lose its Wings

Knives are so passé—it's time for us to be able to make steak with a lightsaber. The guys over at Instructables have put together a tutorial on how to cut and make a delicious steak with a laser—or, more specifically, how to cut the words "PETA" out of a delicious steak with a laser and then cook the letters to consume PETA's courage. -via engadget

Pastor had sex with daughters to teach them to be good wives

A fundamentalist church pastor had sex with two of his teenage daughters to educate them on how to be good wives, a South Australian court has heard.

9/11 Debunkers Hide From Slam Dunk Evidence Of Controlled Demolition

Professor Steven Jones presented brand new and compelling evidence for the controlled demolition of the twin towers and WTC 7 recently, but the 9/11 debunkers and the corporate media are loathe to tackle it because it represents a slam dunk on proving the collapse of the buildings was a deliberate act of arson.Those of you who said it was thermite that took down the towers are only half correct. It turns out as Prof. Jones says that it was thermite added with sulfur to make thermate. Our government straight up blows and you don't need science to prove that

Real Halo 3 update

Continuing my upcoming video game coverage. I want to share with you some halo 3 news. I've heard that some people in our school "beta'd" the game but here is more news. We've got new guns, weapons, vehicles, and more. And we also now have 4-player co-op. Here's a link and there's links in the link so here's the link

StarCraft 2

O how i remember being 8 years old. Those were good times. Probably a huge amount of those times were spent playing starcraft with my friends. The game was just straight up sick. Like i had played age of the empires but who wanted to sit around and get forage berries from a tree for hours at a time. Starcraft had aliens. And when you're young. anything with aliens beats anything with out aliens. Finally nine years later they are making a sequel. Starcraft 2 appears to be even better than the first one. It looks like they payed attention to the right places. One of the big problems i had with the third installments of these strategy games (AOEIII and WIII) is that while the graphics were upgraded beyond belief, the actual game play was only improved marginally. Looking at the screenshots for StarCraft 2 makes me think that more than just the graphics have been changed. And if I'm right, this game should totally dominate everything. Check it out

Rain, Gadgets and Blue Jeans

Continuing my series of obsenely lame posts. Today i will continue to post on my amazing life. I'm still sick but the doctor gave me medecines to fix that so i'm drugged up but straight none the less. It's rainging out and rain blows. I was sitting in my backyard when the piece of shit rain had to come down and ruin me. So I decided to go in my shed, i'm sitting there on the phone when i hear something fucking tunneling inot my shed. That freaked me the fuck out, but i digress. I am in the need of a new cell phone. Since I am probably the biggest in the closet gadget freak you will ever know (yeah i know the ladies love it) I am hoping to grip my latin fingers around a nice chunk of tech. I'm hoping to buy a treo 700wv for verizon off of ebay because it turns out that if you get a phone new in box from ebay it's cheaper than buying it new in box from the vzw store. I shit you not. And as for the least important segment of my three part show for you today I need jeans. I hate buying jeans where everyone else does. I hate the idea of a "look" bought from a catalog or borrowed from one tree hill. I'm pretty straight on where to fit my upper body and feet. But for the sake of my life i can't find anything to cover that black ass of mine. Not that any of you will actually care, but i need somewhere to buy jeans, desperatly. ciao

Marijuana does NOT cause cancer!!!

The largest study of its kind surprisingly finds that smoking marijuana, even frequently, does NOT cause cancer. With no realisitic overdose, no cancer, and no physical addiction, marijuana is now CLEARLY less harmful than alcohol and cigarettes. LEGALIZE in '08 - and which candidates will do so: Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, and Ron Paul! VOTE OR DIE!!

UPDATE: Thanks to an anonymous commenter, another article has been brought to my attentnion, the government apparently knew about this in '74

Useless Facts!!

I come across a lot of these, "top ten___" or "the ten funnest _____s you can fit in a woman's _______'' lists. Most of them are just completely horrible and make me really hate myself for wasting my hard earned time reading them. This one i found was actually pretty interesting. I expected it to be useless because the title says it is. That being read, I was prepared for the worst. Still, against my gut I read it. Honestly it was a decently entertaining yet useless read check it out

if any of you 2.5 people find any not so true facts, leave a comment

Beatboxing

In my eternal quest to assist all of you on your journey to become half as bad ass as I am with the flu, I've come across a beat boxing tutorial for your learning pleasure. I honestly thought that beat boxing was one of those talents that you are either born with or you'll die without. The interesting thing is that the sounds that most wannabes (me included) try to use are not the correct standard beat boxing noises. As the tutorial shows, there are certain sounds to use and it even points us beginners in a good direction with starter beats and cool ways to make your friends jealous and impress the ladies. After researching this vocal discipline for almost half the day, i still can't come to think of how the really good beat boxers can blend and mess noises together and even do whole songs with lyrics and background tracks. here is the tutorial

Also, apparently franch beatboxers are the best? so here is a video of a downright amazing one.

God?

Now that this video got me thinking, all i ever really do is post videos on this thing. I should really switch to putting insightful things on here. Anyway i was looking on teh internets when i found Dewey's (from Malcolm in the middle) epiphany on god. Enjoy

GUMBALL 2007 !!!

At time of posting gumball starts in 24 days. IMO it is the best "rally" (not a race) in existence. Every year they change the route but if I'm not mistaken its a 3000 mile checkpoint to checkpoint rally that includes everything from racers to celebrities to eccentrics of all sorts. My favorite car that competes is the Polizei 144 BMW M5 interceptor. What's cool about the guys who drive it is that they outfit it like a different police car every year. Here is a video of their antics..

Ill Mitch

I've been following Ill Mitch for a few years now. i always thought he would just die off but his shit is on itunes and he just started a vblog. Here is the first episode, it just debuted this week.

That's pretty underground

I really haven't thought of anything to post lately so i think I'll post this video i found on break. It's pretty funny. The best part is that it speaks volumes to too many people i know.

If you blood throw it up

I'm not even going to write anything about this

Don't Watch This?

Apparently, watching stuff for free is illegal? Well that's what Viacom says about youtube having comedy central clips on it. So is watching this illegal? Are there cops on the way to your house right now? Am I going to stop asking questions? Only time will tell?

300 (the pg version)

This is a bit late considering everyone in the entire world has seen the movie 300, and quite frankly if you haven't you should just end you're meaningless existence. But anyway Matt sent me this to post on the blog because he is too mentally disabled to remember his password to log in. That leads me to my next point. If you think you are worth a sh*t enough to post on my glorious blog, just hit me up someway. And if you don't have my contact info, my number is 911, ask for the stalker department. So without further adieu, here is the pg version of three hundred.

STFU mac users

Yeah, so all of these mac users are always talking about they are somehow better than (us) pc users. Honestly, they really aren't.IMO most that i have encountered are acually major POS's. Enough with the acronyms. Long story short, get off your high horses mac users and realize that you aren't as chic as the commercials tell you that you are. Article after the jump.

Ahem..

due to breaking news of a rival piece of shit trying to get on my turf, i am going to be posting a lot more for the viewing pleasure of the 3.3 people who actually read this blog.

Lock Picking #2

Now this is the proper way to pick a lock, go hunting, kill someone, or even cook a dinner. Also available is the grenade launcher but thats for advanced users only so most should stick with the Grenade.

How to crack a combination lock

How to crack a combination lock.

I have seen a lot of these tutorials on the Internet but i actually tried this one and it's the fastest and it actually works. I'm going to tell you how to get all of the numbers. 1st number: Pull on the handle part(the part that pops open) not too hard that the knob won't move but put pressure. While pulling on it, turn the knob to the left until it won't move anymore. Then add 5 to that number. that is the first number. 2nd number: Ok, spin the dial around a couple of times, then go to the 1st number you got, then turn it to the right, bypassing the 1st number once. WHEN you have bypassed. Start pulling on the handle and turn the knob. It will eventually fall into a groove and lock. While its in the groove turn the knob, if it's loose turn till it locks again. Keep testing the looseness until it's really locked in a groove; that is now your second number. 3rd number: Spin the dial a few times. Then enter your two newly acquired numbers. Then turn to the right and pull at all the numbers in order. It WILL open at one IF you did it right. This kinda information is when makes me keep my wallet ipod and cellphone in my gym shorts when i wear them. HAVE FUN
