Uncategorized In the wee hours of the morning Chris, the owner of a free hosting website awoke to get a late night snack. It’s a good thing he did, as he walked into his kitchen he could smell smoke.
He grabbed a fire extinguisher that was stored in a closet just in case, and then started looking around for the source of the smoke. Heading down to his basement where he housed a few webservers used for his free hosting website. He Noticing the smoke was a bit thicker but, “not enough for me to freak out.”
“Upon turning the corner at the bottom of my stairs I could see fire! Definitely not an inferno, but flames none the less.”
Chris ran over with the fire extiguisher he had brought down and began spraying it on his small rack of servers and a wall mounted shelf above. Succesfully exstiguishing the small fire, the damages were gone through. Two servers, and a box of letters sent to Chris from family members while he was living out of the country.
Chris says he isn’t risking anything like this again and is entrusting his server needs to a large server management company.
Was this a suicide mission gone successful by technology? Probably not, but it makes for a good headline.

Uncategorized An unnamed 21-year-old devised a fool proof bank robbery and set the scheme in motion. After tunneling underground to emerge in the safe, he missed his target and popped up in the bathroom.
He was arrested quickly after making his undignified entrance to the toilet, said a the French newspaper La Provence.
The target was Banque Populaire in Marseilles, and his plan was to emerge in the room housing the safety deposit boxes, which he was going to get into with another brilliant plan, I’m sure.
Alarms were however triggered when he made way into the bathroom instead, and authorities arrived shortly after.

Uncategorized 
A baby born in San Francisco has six perfectly formed and functional fingers and toes on his hands and feet, say doctors at Saint Luke’s Hospital.
Kamani Hubbard’s extra digits look so normal they weren’t noticed at first, said his mother, Miryoki Gross, of Daly City.
Extra digits run in the father’s side of the family, said dad Kris Hubbard, but none have been so perfectly developed.
Kris Hubbard himself had nubs of sixth fingers removed as a child because they were non-functioning, reported KTVU-TV, San Francisco. That won’t be the case with his son, born three weeks ago, because Kamani’s fingers and toes function perfectly, said Dr. Michael Treece.
“It’s merely an interesting and beautiful variation rather than a worrisome thing,” said Treece. “Imagine what sort of a pianist a 12-fingered person would be” or flamenco guitarist or typist, he said.
“I just want him to see what greatness will be in store for him,” said Kris Hubbard, noting famous polydactyly people include former Florida Marlins’ pitcher Antonio Alfonseca and the late blues guitarist Hound Dog Taylor.

Uncategorized People young and old were gathered around their TVs yesterday in Tucson Arizona watching the Super Bowl. The action was hot, and all of a sudden it got a lot hotter when the game feed switched to a clip from an adult channel showing porn during the Super Bowl.
This wasn’t your made for tv adult action with odd angles where you can never actually see anything. This was full frontal, hardcore action. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how you look at it the porn clip was only shown on standard def TVs
Comcast released the following statement:
“We are mortified by last evening’s Super Bowl interruption and we apologize to our customers. Our initial investigation suggests this was an isolated malicious act. We are conducting a thorough investigation to determine who was behind this.”
*edit*
the clip
this is definitely NOT safe for work :
