How Not to Be Seen: Monty Python Plays Halo

Erik, we should have used this as an object lesson to Ben, years ago (or maybe just put him in the games as the moron getting blown away while standing in some large open area wondering where everyone went); such fond memories :-) -JK

Size of the Boat vs. The Motion in the Ocean

Thanks to the boys in Production for sending this one in. It's good to see that so much fills up your day and that the real issues get sent across your desk (and not mine) :-) 3 centimeters? Ouch. - JK

Condoms 'too big' for Indian men

A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.

The conclusion of all this scientific endeavour is that about 60% of Indian men have penises which are between three and five centimetres shorter than international standards used in condom manufacture.

The issue is serious because about one in every five times a condom is used in India it either falls off or tears, an extremely high failure rate.

"It's not size, it's what you do with it that matters," he said.

"From our population, the evidence is Indians are doing pretty well.

"With apologies to the poet Alexander Pope, you could say, for inches and centimetres, let fools contend." (credit BBC News, Delhi; full story here)

This is just one of those videos you can play over and over again and it just keeps getting funnier :-) Don't forget about yesterday's (last night's) post about women who fart and the airlines who detain them (classic!). Still working on the weekend Huntsville photos (and videos). - JK

Flatulence forces emergency landing
American flight diverts to Nashville after woman lights match to mask gas

An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing Monday morning after a passenger lit a match to disguise the scent of flatulence, authorities said.

The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches in an attempt to conceal a "body odor," Lowrance said. She had an unspecified medical condition, authorities said.

The flight took off again, but the woman was not allowed back on the plane. The woman, who was not identified, was not charged in the incident. (credit AP; full story here )

Update: ML Downloads Section

All,

FYI: I have been updating the downloads section of the blog. I'm basically posting freeware utilities here that I use (constantly) and thought that some of you might find useful as well. As a matter of convenience I'll also be able to grab these from the net (quickly) if I don't have them with me.

If you have suggestions for other freeware utilities that I might like or that others would like then just let me know and I might post it there (only freeware; nothing else)
