On Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 AM, the time and date will be:

01:02:03 04/05/06.

Well, except for those of you who observe the dd/mm/yy variety of dates. Then I’m a month early, but it’s still rather neat.

Just Another $.50 Toy

I think what I find most amusing about this is that this is the second story of this nature that I’ve read. That crazy claw game is just irresistible to kids. How do they fit up the chute? Is this a case of poor design or poor supervision? This is what I have to look forward to in a few years, I suppose.

Judge Quotes Billy Madison in Court Order

Okay, this is well off the beaten path, but it’s just too funny to pass up.

In response to a lawyer’s motion titled “Defendant’s Motion to Discharge Response to Plaintiff’s Response to Defendant’s Response Opposing Objection to Discharge,” a Texas judge quotes Billy Madison. And it’s a classic.

Online Fling Turns Out to be Man’s Mom

“Sweet Juliette” and “The Prince of Pleasure” carried on an online romance for several months, and began falling for each other. They simply had to meet. They show up at the agreed upon place, and <gasp!> “Oh my God, it’s Mama!”

Fight Club for Software Engineers

I must admit that I’m not sure what to make of this. It’s like your grandmother’s version of Fight
Club, except with software engineers.

Really, I’m at a loss. It reminds me of Starship Troopers and The Blair Witch Project. Mildly amusing, mostly painful, altogether confusing.
