Strange things are afoot on the internet.

Thanks to the internet, in less than 20 minutes you too can be a comic book hero. A Paperback Writer found this website, The Hero Factory, and I had to go check it out myself. So, this is me, as the "Intimidating Spectaled Pike"

What? It doesn't look like me at all? Yeah, well they didn't have the "grey hair and beer gut" option. But I have been called intimidating before, and I do wear glasses. Close enough, isn't it?

How NOT to play with a laser pointer.

Thanks to jmpnmark for sending this to me, click on the picture to see the video.

DPRFFTS?*

.... Contemplate the sign a minute.  Hmmm, if you can pay someone ten to twenty thousand a month to train, why can't you spring $10 for a sign that isn't hand written?  Or how about: In this economy you can pay $10 to $20 thousand a month to train, why do you have to advertise at all?  Shouldn't people be knocking down your door? And if you do have to advertise, why in the median on 21st So. and 13th E.?  Or: if you're going to pay someone $120 to $240 thousand a year to train, shouldn't you have a professional firm screening applicants?  Why can't you afford a professional firm?

.... I'm not even going to venture a guess as to what the scam is, but I'll bet you dollars to donuts that a scam it is.

* Do people really fall for this shit?

Laughed out loud.

.... One of the things I love about CSI (the original) is how they weave humor into a TV show about murder, rape and other crimes.  Today I was watching a newly downloaded episode (A Space Oddity) and it made me laugh out loud.  Literally.

.... The first few minutes of CSI they introduce the story, Grissom was famous for pulling off a cute little pun right before cutting to the credits.  In this episode two of the minor characters meet at a Star Trek convention, although they call it Astro Quest and they make no direct reference to the Star Trek characters.

.... The murder takes place on the bridge of the imaginary spaceship, a set brought along for the convention.  The two minor characters immediately identify themselves as CSI, secure the scene and call the regular Police Detective, guy named Jim Brass.  Hodges, the CSI calling Brass simply tells him that there is a situation at the convention.  When Brass asks him what it's all about, Hodges relplies:

He's dead, Jim!

Being both a CSI and Star Trek fan probably helped.
