Black Day

Update your science textbooks! The new radiation logo now features a trefoil, a skull and crossbones and a man running away. Just in case you don't quite get the idea.

There is now a special kind of toaster that makes skull bread.

Just because there's a little skull on it doesn't mean it is unfit for consumption!

It seems the Valentine's Day epic isn't quite done yet.

February 14th - Valentine's Day
February 15th - Single's Awareness Day (S.A.D.)
March 14th - Marshmallow Day/White Day
April 14th - BLACK DAY

Get this... Black Day is a day when single people to get together and eat noodles with black bean sauce in South Korea.

The idea is that those who didn't give or receive gifts on Valentine's Day or White Day, can get together and eat Jjajangmyeon; Korean noodles with black bean sauce to commiserate their singledom.

Unbelieveable. Can you imagine what they must be saying about you?

Oh you poor thing, you haven't got a Valentine! I guess you could always celebrate Singles Awareness Day. No time to get the friends together? Well, don't you worry, we'll give you an extension. In one month you can celebrate White Day! With marshmallows! Still single then? Well there's always Black Day. And if you still can't find any friends or partners to celebrate that with, I guess you've got Mother's Day in May. I bet your mom think you're cool. And if you can't celebrate that either you can go jump off a bridge.

Kidding... just be grateful you didn't wind up like this guy.

Woman Ties Up Valentine, Drinks His Blood

FORT WORTH, Texas - An Arizona woman is under arrest, accused of tying up her lover on Valentine's Day in order to drink his blood. This woman, 23-year-old Tiffany Sutton allegedly tricked her 43-year-old victim with an offer of kinky sex.

So she tied this guy up, cut his leg and drank from it. When he managed to escape from his bonds and run away, she chased after him with a pickax. Crazy!

Oh, and this is pretty big news for all the gamers and downloaders out there. Still, I'm about a week late with the news so if you're really one with the geek that shall inherit the earth you should already know this.

Hackers discover HD DVD and Blu-ray "processing key" - all HD titles now exposed

I'm guessing what this means is that we're gonna start seeing some fake PS3 games on the market before long. Not that there's gonna be anyone with the means to play them... The PS3s on the shelves of mall have just been sitting there.

This is pretty cool but... 20GB HD movies would still take forever to download. And even a blank HD-DVD or Blu-ray would cost about... well it would cost alot. I don't know, it's not really my thing.

And about the rat thing... it's kinda dead. And it happened when I wasn't home too so bummer.

kengyee: i had rats too, until they all died
[F.G.R.S.]: ...
kengyee: the rats were chewing on the pipes in my house, so there was a leak
kengyee: we left poison bait
kengyee: they died, all of them
[F.G.R.S.]: now why cant we do that?
kengyee: because, it is disgusting
kengyee: these people carried a cage with three rats out.
kengyee: and to make sure they died, they poured boiling hot water on the rats.
kengyee: it was.. wrong

I do have a ton of video of my brother and I chasing around the storeroom for it, but there's only two shots of the rat and like... hours and hours of video to filter, cause we left the camera on the whole time. There's also a lot of video where we just talk to the camera and say things like "the Jews have shifted shape".

I refuse to load that much video onto this computer (it's already jammed up with Heroes) so instead, help yourselves to some more rat stories.

Well it's too late for that now. I wouldn't expose the school to rabies anyway. If I ever do carry out #7 (release animals) it would be chickens or something.

My sister told me a story where Julia killed a small rat by pouring cold water on it.

Jamin: Yeah, she likes to pour things onto other things. Her maid found this baby rat on the floor, in the corner, and Julia just had a glass of water in her hand at the time so she poured it on the rat. And the rat didn't move so she went to take a shower.
Jun Ian: She went to take a shower and when she came back the rat was dead?
Jamin: Yeah. She says...
Jun Ian: I think she just kicked it with her dancing leg and made that story up.
Jamin: ...At the Jogathon, we found a bug in the grass. Julia just snatched the 100 Plus out of my hand and poured it onto the bug.

Talk about coincidence... our girl Julia and her dancing leg are on AEC right now. My sister's watching, she recorded the show and the dance and I'm like WTF.
