Got Whack?

As I posted much earlier about Google Whacking, part of the game has come true. Once you post a google whack somewhere, it’s no longer a google whack. As with my posted google whack, Llama Esemplatic, now is un-whacked since this site also shows up making it no longer a solo entry.

Speaking of whacking…

A new search engine has hit the cyberspace waves. Teoma wishes to whack google in their junk. I’ve been using Teoma since its debut on Monday and it works very nice. A google whacker? Not likely, at least not yet. Teoma has indexed only 200 million web documents in comparison to googles 1.5 billion. All the same though, as the index count on teoma goes up, I predict it will quickly gain favor behind Yahoo! (why do people still use that piece of junk?) and Google.

Speaking of whacking…

Those Israeli’s are really handing it to the Palestinians, and George Bush handed it to both of them. Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat seems to be confused by why any of this is happening. Well, Yasser, if a Palestinian suicide bomber kills 25 Israeli’s while they are celebrating the first night of passover, what do you think is going to happen? If Israel had launched an attack on a Muslim holiday, don’t you think the Muslim world would be up-in-arms? I’d bet so. Not that the Israeli’s are completely innocent either, but when you have the bigger tanks…

Either way, it’s like Taranis said, it’s like watching two dogs fight at this point.

Speaking of whacking…

Taranis also noted in his earlier post, it’s now ok to whack your cousin. What a relief, eh?

George Goes Bananas

Sure, it may be fitting that my Chinese coworker found this on a chinese language bulletin board, but that doesn’t really say anything about how uncanny is the resemblance between George and a simian horde. And to think that some people don’t believe in evolution.

I’m not sure whether I should be frightened by this or heartened. It seems to me that someone who acts like a chimp probably can’t do much harm. Now if were to to mimic the faces of a Silverback Gorilla or even that of an Orangutan, we might have a problem. Chimps are known as the practical jokers of the jungle. They aren’t as vicious as the Gorilla or as plain mean as the Orangutan. So, basically what I’m saying is that we have a joking panty waist as the president of our country.

Look at his response to the goings ons in Israel. He keeps sending Peacemakers over there, and I’m not talking about the missiles. What we need to do is just step away. Have you ever seen two dogs fighting each other? You try to soak them with water to make them stop. You might throw something at them, yell at them a bit. But what you normally end up doing is just walking away and letting them finish the fight. It is a fruitless battle to try to seperate them and all you do is get bit in the process.

So, take the Middle East crisis, add in a little bit of terrorism paranoia, a lot of Spring Fever, my wife’s ever declining sex drive, and the the fact that I will be laid off from my job next week and you know that I need to partake heavily of the fruits of technology. Especially if they fill the glass with Utopias MMII.
