Reading, PA is known for its outlet stores (at least it used to be, many of them have closed since it got the title of outlet capital of the world so I cannot see calling it that any more). So it is no surprise when things that aren’t even outlets start calling themselves outlets like the Reading Comedy Outlet. With a name like that you would expect to get funny on the cheap, but you don’t. Tickets sell for the same prices you would find at any comedy club for big name laughs. This August you can come see funny guy John Reep from the TV show The Last Comic Standing.
Oh, when you head over to the Reading Comedy Outlets website don’t laugh it’s not a joke. It is just an awful website and will most likely pop up on websites like webpagesthatsuck.com.
A 58-year-old homeless woman was arrested on Friday in Japan for trespassing. She had been living in a man’s closet for over a year.
I know I don’t go into every room in my house every day, but how the heck could you have someone living in your closet for over a year and not notice them?
She was finally discovered when the homeowner noticed that food was missing and installed security cameras.
I have been toying with getting some IP cameras myself. Perhaps this will finally push me to get them. Who knows who might be living in my attic!
A little kitchen voodoo going on here. I love this guy. Stabbed multiple times standing on your kitchen counter. It is soooo much better than those standard blocks of wood.
Available from ThinkGeek.com. This unique artistic knife holder is made of heavy duty ABS plastic and will be the talk of the party! It’s an innovative knife suspension system with individual protective knife sleeves for each blade. The five knives are made from heavy gauge durable stainless steel. The slots are magnetized to secure knives in the holder. Overall, we’d say The Ex Knife Set is very cutting edge!
Okay, my limited physics classes did not teach me about Schrödinger’s Cat, or if it did I did not retain the information.
Oddly enough two different TV shows this evening seemed to think the average Joe would know just who Schrödinger was and what was so god awful important about his cat.
In quantum mechanics atoms can exist in two or more different quantum states. But the question was raised whether a complex object made up of large numbers of atoms could exist in more than one state. In comes the cat.
The thought experiment takes the cat and puts it into a box with a vial filled with poison. The box is sealed. Since you cannot see the cat and do not know whether it is alive or has fallen victim to the poison. Therefore the cat is both alive and dead at the same time. Existing in both states. Until you open the box and observe the state of the cat.
First show I saw this in was Big Bang Theory. I have to thank the guys for geeking out and telling us what they meant when they used the term. In fact it was very relevant to what they were discussing.
The second show was Bones. Unfortunately they did not explain what Schrödinger’s Cat was and left their viewers in the dark. (I know, I know Google is a handy tool to have and so is Wikipedia, but when watching a show sometimes they need to fill the audience in on the science jargon.)
Get your geek on (I half expect to see Sheldon wearing one of these t-shirts on The Big Bang Theory some night) with the Schrödinger’s Cat tee.
Live View GPS will help you locate anything anywhere. Really. This is great for corporate fleets to keep an eye on there drivers. But who cares about that. What will this GPS Tracking service do for my family and me? Plenty.
Use it to track your teenage driver. Is she really at Sally’s house like she said or is she across town at the mall instead? Know exactly where they are at all times. Works great with elderly too. If your older parent wonders off you’ll quickly be able to find them no matter where they are and return them to safety.
Live View GPS is a really affordable way to keep your peace of mind. Now all they have to do is make a really small waterproof device for pet collars and your entire family can be protected.
The workshop will begin on June 18th and will run from 6pm to 9pm every Wednesday for eight weeks. Only 20 people will be able to benefit from Kelly’s acting expertise. The cost of the acting classes is about $400 per person.
The Community School of Music and the Arts was founded more than 50 years ago by Werner von Trapp of the von Trapp Family Singers. You know them as the family from the film The Sound of Music. Pretty cool, huh?
Incubus Dreams is the twelfth book in the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K Hamilton. Sticking with the formula that she knows well this story is full of vampire sex and murder. Although this particular story seems to be more sex than mystery, but it does eventually get back to the question at hand of who or what is murdering these girls.
I have been listening to the audio version of the book. It is nicely read. However, the production leaves a little to be desired. They felt the need to add odd porn like music to the beginning and end of each disk. (I guess the music is pretty fitting when you think of the amount of Vampire/Human/Werewolf sex in this story.) Along with that noise they also tell you the disk is over and to put the other disk in when you do you are greeted by the new disk number and a repeat of the last few lines from the previous disk.
They really could have left those little extra features off the disks as they are more a distraction than they are a help.
What better way to cheer up after a hard day at work than watching someone working way to hard for a little bit of fun. And all the hard work only seems to be a turn on for the guys watching the video as the only see the hot chick and not the hydroslide it is supposed to be promoting. Let me know what you think this video is all about — the girl or the hydroslide?
Frontier(s) is a horror film coming out of France (seems like all of the really good scary films these days are foreign). I am telling you just the trailer will scare the pants off of you. If you like Hostel (the first film not the sequel) or SAW (any of them) you are bound to like Frontier(s).
This is the only horror movie from Horrorfest 2007 that was too disgusting and horrible for mainstream theaters. However, even though it is unrated and bloody disgusting Frontier(s) did make it to a few select theaters this past May 9th. I see it is still running in Philadelphia so maybe I will get the chance to see it on the big screen although the unrated, uncut DVD hit streets May 13th.
Lionsgate films sure know how to get our adrenalin pumping.
Mom always told me that people that had diabetes like her were shaped like her with thin legs and rounder in the middle. Turns out she might actually be right.
Scientists are now saying that the fat found around the hips and thighs may actually protect you against getting the disease. So it turns out a big bottom just might be good for you. Hey, my fat ass just might save my life.
According to the Rueter’s article, “Researchers have known for some time that fat that collects in the abdomen — known as visceral fat — can raise a person’s risk of diabetes and heart disease, while people with pear-shaped bodies, with fat deposits in the buttocks and hips, are less prone to these disorders.” So I guess she was right.
They have found that transplanting subcutaneous fat from those areas to the stomach can help improve a person’s sensitivity to insulin.

New feature for me. While I could fill this blog with a daily I want it post I think I will stick to just Wednesdays (mostly). I cannot help it if I am overcome with the feeling of ‘I has to have this’ therefore making me post on other days to, but I will try to stick to just Wednesdays (but I won’t promise not to post more than once each Wednesday). Since this is the first ‘I Want It Wednesday’ I thought I would post something pretty sweet. I have been reading about the robotic dinosaur known simply as PLEO for awhile now and he is finally here and I want one! He is a little out of my price range so if any kind souls wish to donate one for further tests and studies I am the slacker for the job
Remember the Furby? Well Pleo is a Furby to the 100th power. He learns, plays games, sings, walks, and can even talk with other Pleos. There is a whole community out there for Pleo owners at PleoWorld.com. People and animals really respond to Pleo. Check out this video of a Pleo at SeaWorld. The dolphins just don’t seem to know what to make of this little dino. I just gotta get a Pleo. Thanks to the folks over at BotJunkie for reminding me I wanted one of these bad boys.
Pleo will set you back about $350, but after you see this video you won’t mind.
The other night I was watch a TV show called Most Evil where it profiles different aspects of serial killers. I thought it was just a special but apparently it is a series on the Discovery channel. It is pretty interesting. I always find myself drawn to these kind of shows.
The show I was watching highlighted several well-known killers, but one stood out for me that you might not know. His name is Ed Gingerich. He is Old Order Amish. He is the only Amish individual to date to be convicted of murder. I don’t normally think or murder and mayhem when I think of the Amish. Edward Gingerich has changed that.
On March 18, 1993 he murdered his wife in front of two of their children in the kitchen of their Pennsylvania farmhouse. He had pushed her down, crushing her skull with his foot. Then he eviscerated her with a kitchen knife stacking her internal organs next to her body.
You would think his story would end there, right? Well it doesn’t. He was only sentenced to 2.5 to 5 years for involuntary manslaughter. He was a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic prior to the incident, which mostly helped with his reduced sentence. He was released from prison in 1998.
The Amish society he had lived in had shunned him therefore he was no longer welcome there. Other than Jim Fisher’s website Edward Gingerich dropped off the media’s radar after his release that is until April of last year when his 17 year old daughter went missing. He was later charged with criminal conspiracy to commit concealment of the whereabouts of a child; concealment of the whereabouts of a child and interfering with the custody of children (everything short of kidnapping). The girl was found about two hours from her home. (Is that two hours by car or by horse and buggy? The article doesn’t say.)
This February he was back in front of a judge. This time for a weapons charge, which can carry a maximum of 10 years in jail. Perhaps it is time for that maximum sentence before someone else gets hurt.
I just found a fun site where you can post your point of view on many topics in a very unique way. Just Tell Me Why offers up dichotomies to be solved by the general public (that’s me and you). There are lots of hot topics to choose from entertainment to politics.
