Um... I meant I got the joke with the second t-shirt (AND thought it was very funny), while I didn't entirely get it with the first. At least, it would be safe to say I was extremely underwhelmed by it. Maybe it was funnier for people who used to watch Hollywood Squares?

Okay. I lied. THIS is actually the Best. Tee Shirt. Ever.

So true!

Actually, it was Match Game. And yeah, Charles Nelson Reilly was pretty much one of the biggest reasons to watch, just to see what he'd say next. I loved the "Boring" written on the card in the illustration.

If you like strange t-shirts I highly recommend http://store.engrish.com/. Actually the entire website is hilarious.

I think I'm going to buy my Sensei the "carefully slip and fall down" T-shirt for his birthday.

Wow. Charlie Pellegrino is in some hot water:

If you don't know who he is, he's a sci fi writer and a science writer. He wrote a book called Dust which James Cameron considered making before he settled on Avatar. He's also written a couple of trek novels.

He's also written some non fiction books, including one on the Titanic expeditions that Cameron heavily drew upon for the present-day Titanic sequences. That's how he met and became buds with Cameron. He was a technical consultant on the film.

I interviewed him back before Titanic came out and he declared that Titanic would be the "biggest film of all time" - and I thought he was a total crackpot, great journalistic instincts that I had! But I put the quote in the story and made him look really good.

Anyway, he seems to have fallen for a BS story about the bombing of Hiroshima and put it in his new book - plus there's a little question of the PhD he never got that is listed on his resume.

That said, his book Dust is a really good Sci Fi novel.

Honeybee, Hiroshima seen from today is different from the view of half a century ago. Then the U.s. was looking at possibnly milliions of casualities invading the Japanese Home Islands. That would have taken place because the Japanese Hardliners would not surrender no matter how much the population suffered. Japan was devestaed. Near starvation and their youung Men being killed off in horrifying numbers. So, the bomb saved millions of lives and untoold suffering. but that seems to be ignored today. Actually there were more people killed in firebombings than were in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I wonder if his book will reflect that.

15 funny Facebook fails http://oddee.com/item_96937.aspx .

[justTripn]

Oh those are too funny!

I'll tell you my own facebook fail: I was at my Dad's house and I asked him if he uses facebook much. He said, "No. Every time I go on there, there are all these people on there I don't even know. I don't know how I got so may friends. I never invited them." I said, "Well sometimes you just have to go on there and unfriend people you don't talk to." So he took his laptop and got online and we started through the list: "Do you know this person? Do you know this person?" If he didn't know them or barely knew them, we deleted them. It was bizarre because some of the people were MY friends and there was even one of my Triaxian Silk friends. I said, "This is bizzare." We get halfway through the list and we come across my Dad's own name. I go . . . "Ut oh, how are you a friend of yourself?" Turns out it was my SISTER'S account, she had logged on using my dad's computer and set it up so the computer remembered the password.

Whoops! We had deleted half my sister's friends from her facebook account. She's actually a Triaxian Silk member, though mostly a lurker. lol . . .

SORRY!

That's EXACTLY how my husband and I are. He goes to sleep at 9:00, me 11:00, he gets up at 4:45, me 7:00.
