Grag Bag

I often find myself blogging just 2 lines and pointing to another news article online.  I decided that, rather than stopping doing this, I would just combine a bunch together to make it a little less lame.

So, here goes:

1) For all those annoying people who say "It's ridiculous to stop serving peanuts on a plane" and "oh.. you can just take the nuts off that cake and eat it", here is an example of why people need to be more sensitive to food allergies.  If that doesn't make you think more about it, then you're (notice I actually used an apostrophe and "re" there... huh?) a heartless bastard and you can go screw yourself.

2) Sick of navigating the labyrinth of "press 1 for toys, 2 for lubricants, etc"?  (what!?)  Well, this guy is great.  He's got a website that gives shortcuts to phone systems to that you can talk to something with a pulse.

3) This is just plain hilarious.  It's like something out of a bad sitcom..

4) I was just talking with someone about idiots burning stuff down with turkey friers...  It's pretty common, apparently.

5) Thankfully, some people in the middle east are acting (a bit) rationally about the terrorist attacks out there.  Apparently, Al-Zarqawi's family in Jordan has disowned him for attacking innocent children.  I don't know why this kind of thing took so long, but it is very welcome to me.

6) Google proves that you don't have to let the business weenies run everything.

That's it for this one..
