Monday monday

Hmmm once again I find myself listening to Iced Earth and wondering what to talk about this morning, so it's likely going to be all over the map again . . . so let's start out with a bit of a point to make . . . the local paper is often thin on stuff to put in it, I mean it's not every week that you can slip in an advert thinly disguised as an article for a local merchant (BTW where's the story about the new candy store in town?) but the March 25 edition went into great detail with an almost daily breakdown of the local OPP detachment's call out stats for the March Break week.
.
Normally the paper won't print anything controversial or negative about the town, but if you were passing through or just happened to pick up a paper and look at it, you would think that was run of the mill and only contribute to the sometimes ill informed perception that many have of this town, but this week they chose to do something a little different I suppose. I just think it's looks bad for the town and the residents of the town, or maybe this is going to be a regularly weekly section in the paper, but I've got my doubts. It was probably a one off because the local OPP detachment sent the paper a press release with the information in it.
.
But that's just me, what do I know . . . well okay maybe don't answer that right now.
.
And for something a little less serious, here's a collection of the most embarrassing photos from last year. The picture of you passed out on the toilet is strangely absent.
.
If you're here you've got a computer and odds are it's a PC, so here's an article with some fast fixes for common PC problems . . . but remember the first to try is always rebooting the computer. Don't ask why, just do.
.
Ever wonder what the Mona Lisa would look like if she were painted by other artists, well wonder no longer, here it is.
.
While we're on the topic of art, how's about a sweet video showing 500 Years of Female Portraits in Western Art. The music it's set to is Bach's Sarabande from Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major, performed by Yo-Yo Ma.
.
Everybody who's cool likes comics, and you're here so you must be cool, therefore you too like comics . . . so you're in luck because here's a collection of the 50 greatest WTF moments in comics. BTW here's a definition of WTF in case you aren't in the know.
.
It's no secret that I loves me some cover tunes, so here's a nice collection of some of the oddest on the net. But if you're into covers and think the ring-a-ding-ding lounge lizard rat pack vibe is where it's at check out one Mr. Richard Cheese, trust me, you won't be disappointed.
.
And I will sign off with is possibly the best warning sign ever.
.
Until next time.
