Awkward..
Ok its story time kids, so one day I was at my good friends house having dinner with his family in high school. Everything was all pretty normal, I'd been there a million times so as usual his weird dad was being quiet sitting across from me and the rest of us were chatting. Their dog walked by, and for years my friend and I had jokingly called it "Sandy" instead of "Jesse" in memoriam for our other friends' identical looking but dead dog. I go "Hey Sandy," as it walks by and suddenly the dad stands up, leans across the table and screams in my face: "ITS JESSE! THE DOGS NAME IS JESSE! RESPECT THE DOG! RESPECT THE HOUSE!"
Everyone sat in stunned silence for a second, stereotypically jaws agape, eyebrows raised. So naturally to calm the tension he goes "High five." I hesitatingly gave it to him without a word and the dad sat back down. The rest of that meal was spent in the worst in all-around awkward silence ever.

GRIP!
From the twisted mind that brought us QWOP comes GRIP!, yet another game that is near impossible to play, and yet... why can't I stop? Because I need to get higher, damn it, that's why.
GIRP demands you press your keyboard letters to grab rings and pull your guy up, but you'll also need to hold either Shift or Ctrl to pull yourself up to. Fingers everywhere, which ring to pick, brain hurting, meltdown - this is roughly the order in which your first few games will take. Eventually you'll work out how to climb higher, and all the while it is utterly hilarious.
Do not delay play it now!

Useless Fact of the week.
Believe it or not but there is actually a phobia for the number 666 and believe it or not the name of this phobia is Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia (Don't bother trying to pronounce it, it is impossible). But as crazy as it is to have a fear of a number, 666 has been linked to the "devil" (which originated in the bible, which indicated that it was the number of the "beast") and people with this fear will actually go to great lengths to avoid anything related to the number 666.

Song writing isn't for everyone.
For the past few days the internet has been plagued with rebecca black, who is she you ask? Oh god how i envy you for not knowing. She is the witch who created "Friday"
After that i bet you're questioning how she landed herself a record deal.... and thinking you could write a better song with your left foot.
But the thing is she didn't ,the music video was produced by a little company called "Ark Record Factory". It is a vanity music outfit, where doting parents who think their
little princess is the most talented thing in the world can drop $10k to have a record and video produced. No talent of any sort required, just money.
Unfortunately the people at Ark who mix and produce the music are just as untalented as the poor girl singing. It is certainly possible to make listenable pop songs with the ingredients they've got, but the end result here are dire.
But at the end of the day the real losers here are legit musicians.... like Christina Aguilera for example, who can't even sell albums or concert tickets anymore, or the thousands of unsigned,
undiscovered talents who have to sell records out of their car trunks. And they are all being pushed aside by a girl who thinks explaining what days come before and after friday
is good lyric material. What has the world come to!?
Anyway, whats your thoughts on Rebecca?

Fukushima Nuclear Plant
I'm not sure if you guys have been following whats been going on in japan concerning the Fukushima Nuclear Plant or if you understand what's going on. I know I didn't really have a good handle on it until I did some research on it.
This is a copy paste of what information I have amassed, its pretty much the TL;DR version for those who can't be $#@!ed looking around.
Cooling failures occurred in Fukushima Nuclear power stations oldest reactor just over a day ago, the diesel generators meant to keep coolant flowing through the reactor failed an hour after coming online resulting in an increase in pressure.
The electrical systems rely on batteries when a power outage occurs and are good for 8 hours so the Japanese military (note they call them defense forces) has been trucking in generators and batteries.
At 07:36 GMT on March 12th a large explosion caused the concrete structure surrounding the reactor to collapse.
It was a hydrogen explosion which was a result of water levels in the reactor falling.
The Japanese government maintains that the situation is under control but they moved their initial evacuation of the area from 3kms to 10kms rather quickly, and then last night increased it to 20kms, and they are stopping anyone from entering the area 60kms from the plant (BBC got stopped there)
As of last night people had been evacuated from the area
The four workers injured during the blast are conscious and their injuries are described as non life threatening, 30 employees and 60 patients were evacuated from the immediate area, three received a check up for radiation exposure, two had minor exposure and one had received a decent dose of radiation, they are being decontaminated but there are fears they may have contaminated the others during the evacuation.
Worthy of note, the reactor in question was constructed in 1967, first criticality was in 1970 and it was due to be decommissioned March 26th this month :|
According to the World Nuclear Association (note: who apparently have a reputation for talking $#@!) one worker in a crane by the stack has died :(

Palm Reading
Learn this shit. Right now your probably asking "why the hell would i want to learn how to read someone's palm. The answer is simple, to pick up girls. All girls want to know their future, and they especially want their future to contain true love. You can use palm reading to make a romantic statement with girls you'd like to bang. If you have trouble finding things to say to strangers, palmistry gives you a common language.
Learn the basics of the hand "alphabet" and you'll have girls eating out of your palm in no time.
