STRANGE FINDINGS FROM THE INTERNET XXXV

It rained pretty much all Easter weekend here in El Paso which also rained out alot of kids' Easter egg hunts. Oh, sure you could have hidden the eggs and watched the coloring wash off of them to find them easier but where's the fun in that? I would love to do this to a couple of farm fresh eggs just to watch PETA go nuts. However, I'd rather sit back and watch the hilarity of the annual Easter Egg hunt sponsored by the El Paso Lighthouse for the Blind. There's a hilarious story behind that one, I will get to at a later time.

I don't own an iPod. I probably won't for a while anyways, but I've been watching the RIAA go after people who swapped songs illegally (myself included in that at one point) but now they have turned their backs on the people doing legal downloadings. Apple's iTunes has been a success since they started offering $.99 downloads of a huge cache of music they have for consumers. Now the RIAA says that $.99 is too small of a price for a single song download from the internet and would... Oh hell, just read here...

On a related note, it's not that uncommon to go onto KaZaA or Limewire or Napster (before they were shut down) and download what you thought would be Aerosmith's Livin' On The Edge and instead you got Barney's Theme Song (Extended Remix). The perils of downloading videos would be classified under that example as well. Tom has lost all faith in humanity after performing an experiment with simple words, video files & audio files on his computer. I say: Welcome to the club, brother.

Finally (I have to make this short, on company time & computer and all...) if you live in England, contribute to the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London or just have no patience for the most fucked up shit to ever come out of misused money, read this and pull your funding if you haven't already. Oh, and you other LIBERAL colleges & museums who do this need your funding taken away, your doors closed and your staff locked away in our overcrowded & underfunded prison system. Maybe then they will think twice before wasting your money on bull shit.

Donators...
