Don't Mess with Dad...
I don't know how serious this EBay item is - but it's pretty funny.
Personally, I would have second thoughts about taking on a 6'3" thirteen year old with a drinking problem.

Simpsons Phanatics
From the Too Much Time on Their Hands Dept:
Here is a an accurate Map of the Simpson's home of "Springfield". It is so accurate that it is listed in the Harvard Map Archive.
If something seems amiss, remember that during the garbage crisis, they moved the town.
On the same theme, in the town of Springfield, Nevada, there is a duplicate of the Simpson's home.

Don't get drunk in Barcelona
This USA Today writer isn't nearly as clever nor funny as he thinks he is, but he does write about the interesting Baja Beach Club in Barcelona which will happily insert an RFID tag into you to help you to pay your bills.
Wouldn't a better solution be to make up some bracelets with RFID tags and hand them out when people check in? No bracelet, no drink...

CNN Article of the Day #1 - Redefining Human Limits
Interesting article on how some people can seemingly do the impossible.
I'm not sure that there are lessons here for the rest of us, but it's always interesting to read about somebody who can dive (without any equipment) over 500 feet deep or swim in the antartic wearing nothing but a bathing suit.

CNN Article of the Day #2 - Yeep
Interesting article on the training firemen and other EMS personnel must receive to handle hybrid vehicles.
I've been driving a Toyota Prius for two years now...
Must remember to tell them that after an accident to only approach the car with rubber gloves and boots and if they must cut, only do the roof.

CNN News Items for the day
A couple of interesting/weird news pieces from the CNN web site:
1. If Australia ever decides to do their own version of "Lassie", here is the star.
2. When I first read this, I wondered how serious it was. When I retire, I want to go to work on Nevada's anti-avalanche program.
3. Two Miami DJs have been fined $4,000 for making a crank call to Fidel Castro. Their response? To pay the fine in pennies.
