The morning coffee and dates, expiry and online

February 19th, 2010 No comments

We get started today with The Bloggess, who reveals that Obama is made of meerkats.

It would appear that expiration dates are only for show. Maybe. The article appears to be concerned only with expiration dates in the United States … and not for all products. So ignore them at your own peril.

Another kind of dating gives us some interesting math: An inch of height is worth $30,000 a year in salary … for men in the dating pool (and the women who would date them).

The morning coffee and the muppet rhapsody

November 25th, 2009 No comments

President Obama is encouraging the development of robotics. But he is also keeping an eye on them, ever-vigilant for the day they turn us.

We are the last to post the following video to the Internet. I have seen it tweeted multiple times, and on every website I visit on a regular basis. It is still sufficiently awesome to include in the morning coffee:

If you’re adopted and looking for your birth father, finding him is not always a good thing.

Norway: Powered by osmosis.

And now it’s debunking time!

We begin with the Economist taking on the myth of the fundamentalist atheist.

There are still those out there who insist that Obama was born in Kenya, and his presidency is illegal. They are now clinging to a purported Kenyan birth certificate that has surfaced. The birth certificate, as it turns out, appears to be a really, really bad forgery.

The morning coffee goes hacking

June 5th, 2009 No comments

Today, Iran’s PressTV reports that terrorists have successfully hacked President Obama’s Blackberry. The report appears to be based on the publication of the book Obama’s Blackberry by the comedy group Kasper Hauser.

Excerpts of the book can be found on the Fox News website. Dangerous stuff, indeed.

A woman in California allegedly bought Cap’n Crunch’s Crunchberries for years, under the delusion that they were a healthy cereal that contained real fruit. On discovering that “Crunchberries” are not an actual fruit, she sued. The verdict is now in, and is a victory for everybody who thinks that we ought to be able to assume that people are smart enough to identify Crunchberries as balls of coloured sugar.

Is a traditional bayonet not good enough? Add a chainsaw. Want a crossbow on your machine gun? Go ahead. Cracked takes us through some over-the-top modifications of deadly weapons.

We close this week of morning coffees with some XKCD:
