Best of the Web 7/07/07, Dick Assman |

Today I was doing my usual useless perusal of the internet, and I discovered this on wikipedia:
Dick Assman (born ca. 1934 in Regina, Saskatchewan) is a Saskatchewan petrol station owner whose name propelled him to international celebrity status in 1995. Assman, who worked at Petro-Canada’s Victoria Square Mall station in Regina, was discovered by David Letterman, who was amused by his name.
Now if that isn’t funny, what is?

Best of the Web 7/05/07, Do Men or Women talk more? |

The conventional wisdom says women use 20,000 words a day, while men only use 7,000.Is this correct?
A story in today’s New York Times says no. They quote a study from Science Magazine where 396 subjects wore tiny microphones. The results: Men and Women speak roughly the same amount of words everyday.
So what does this mean? Despite the fact you think your significant other will never shut up about the dishes, guys, you still on average speak as much as she does.

Best of the Web 6/22/07, Firefighters inhaled as ton of pot burned |

I had a good laugh about this story:
EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — Firefighters who spent half an hour fighting a blaze in which 2,000 pounds of marijuana went up in smoke breathed so much of it that they would have failed a drug test, a fire chief said.
It took more than 35 firefighters, 1,000 gallons of water and five gallons of chemical suppressant to extinguish the warehouse blaze on Wednesday, Fire Chief Shawn Snider said.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were investigating the origin of the drugs.
The Hidalgo County fire marshal was investigating whether arson was the cause.
Snider said Thursday the firefighters were exposed to so much marijuana smoke that they would not be able to pass a drug test, despite wearing air packs to prevent them from inhaling toxic or hazardous fumes.
Wow, that’s some sweet gig those firefighters have. Not only are they doing a civic duty beyond reproach, but they’re getting high while doing it.
We should all be so lucky.

Anyone who has a blog, like myself, are usually full integrated into Web 2.0. We use wikipedia constantly, we find videos not only on YouTube, but iFilm, Daily Motion and Metacafe. We look up pictures on flickr…
But we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg with the internet. Imagine what we’ll see in the next 20 years…

There was a time in the 1990’s when In Living Color was maybe the funniest show on television. This was due in part to its parodies of musical acts. (I still remember the Vanilla Ice parody and laugh with glee.)
So in honor, here’s a list of In Living Color’s top 10 musical spoofs. It’s a great list.

My feelings on Jerry Falwell are well known on this blog. Even after his death, I have no problem saying that he was not a nice man, and if there is any justice in the universe, he’s not in heaven.
Apparently the always interesting and controversial Christopher Hitchens agrees with me. Enjoy.

I saw a disturbing video today. Or maybe it was funny. I’m not really sure.
I know I laughed when I saw it. Does that make me a bad person?
