Dude narrowly escapes death when his neighbour’s .44 Magnum discharges. The round goes through a bathroom mirror, through several layers of furniture, across the hall, through the dividing wall, and ricochets off his desk before stopping in the wall in front of his laptop, inches from his head.

A collection of real suicide notes.
Married male, age 40
Jimmy!
Remember what I told you and always respect, protect and obey your mother and always remember that I love you so much. I am going to leave you forever because I am too sick to go on. God bless you my Son and when your time comes to go to Heaven you will find your ole Pappy waiting for you.
Daddy

First saw this video on Virob, but couldn’t save it to disk, so here’s a copy I found on YouTube.
It’s not as kinky as it sounds. Seriously.

TODAY article, wherein Mr Brown lampoons those who oppose The Da Vinci Code Superman.
Some of you may say, but the Superman comic and the movie are just works of fiction! Ah, but beneath that comic is an organisation bent on attacking our beliefs and morals! Using pop culture, they hope to make us believe untruthful things such as in people who come from other planets, in super-beings who can fly, and that wearing glasses can disguise you from your loved ones.

Does this make me a bad person?
This was on EA TH, where many times I have played a losing game, only to have my team mates defect to the winning team. These are the people who have no qualms about fighting on the 22-player team of a 32-player game.
Mmm. Revenge.

Woke up this morning, bright and cheery only to find that I had close to 30 email alerts in my inbox, each corresponding to a suspected spam comment on this blog. True enough, each and every one of those comments was indeed spam.
More spam is coming in hard and fast even as I write this. It’s unbelievable… after getting rid of the initial 30, another 29 arrived within the hour, and now I can literally sit at my comment moderation page, refreshing every few minutes and deleting them in real time. I don’t know how they’re getting past my captchas and even posting on posts which have comments turned off.
Anyway, had to remove email notification for new comments so as to avoid flooding my inbox. Askimet is now up and running, in tandem with my keyword blacklist and tougher captchas.
The filters seem to work… for now. Let’s hope things stay that way.
UPDATE: Askimet just caught another 30 comments. WTF is going on?

This is bloody funny. I bet the woman wasn’t too amused though…

At first glance, it looks like the website of an ordinary tour agency, promising “wicked adventures” to those who sign up. From the site:
Wicked Adventures Travel specializes in exotic excursions for those who want a unique experience like no other. Everyone is unique, that is why we make it our mission to design pleasure tours that cater to each traveler. Confidentiality and your safety are our top priority.
When you look twice, however, you realise that something’s afoot. For one, it only offers travel packages to the Phillipines and Thailand. On the online registration page, there are fields one would not normally find on regular tour websites, for example Gender Preference (Male/Female), Prefered Activities, Age Preference (12 and under / 13-15 / 16-17 / 18 and above), and also the ominous disclaimer: “By checking this box, I certify that I am a private individual who desires to travel for personal fulfillment. I am not member of any local, state or federal law enforcement agency of any country.”
Hmm…
Smile! You’re on Candid Camera, FBI style. A 58-year-old Florida man is currently looking at 30 years for falling for this.
Linky to an archived version of the entire undercover website.
