What have I done?!?
Yesterday, I signed up for this fantastic cell phone deal.
Today, I transfered my existing cell phone number to my new account. The entire process was completed within 20 minutes and was relatively pain free. In fact, I was assured my number will be transferred to the new account within 24 hours. Satisfied I had beat the system, I thanked the T-Mobile customer service agent and hung up. Only then did I realize my new phone will not arrive for 4 more days....

Mourning Has Left The Building
The latest news out of East Rutherford is Alonzo Mourning has left the NJ Nets due to his kidney disease. The Nets announced his disorder has taken a turn for the worse, he can no longer play basketball, and is in need of a transplant "in the near future".
In light of this, I wonder if K-Mart feels any regret over his "my kidney, my kidney" line?

Popular Science explains why Kobayashi is a champion gorger
Why do thin guys always seem to win eating contests?: Professional competitive eating, like soccer, is not as popular in the United States as it is in the rest of the world, where expert gorgers compete for tens of thousands of dollars per tournament. But we are arguably a nation of amateur competitive eaters, 30.5 percent of us obese and the rest on the Atkins diet, everyone striving to eat as many strips of bacon as possible in 15 minutes. We also have an annual nationwide de facto competitive-eating event. You may know it as Thanksgiving.
The strange thing about competitive eating, though, is that the world's undisputed gluttony champion is a flyweight. Takeru Kobayashi hails from Japan and weighs 145 pounds, empty. Earlier this year he won the annual Fourth of July hot-dog-eating competition in Coney Island, New York, by scarfing down 44 hot dogs -- with buns -- in 12 minutes, averaging one every 16.4 seconds. Tragically, he fell short of his record of 50 1/2 set last year. Second place went to the 408-pound Edward Jarvis, who downed 30 1/2 hot dogs in the same amount of time. William "The Refrigerator" Perry, formerly of the Chicago Bears, managed only five.
So how does a man roughly a third the size of Jarvis outeat him by half? Answer, at least in part: The size of the stomach at rest is inconsequential. All that matters is the stomach's ability to expand, to adapt itself to the amount of food being shoved down the esophagus. And as in any other competitive sport, stomach-stretching skills require training.
Kobayashi's regimen includes shrinking his gut by jogging for hours, then distending it by chugging gallons of water. He regularly feasts on giant meals of low-fat, high-fiber foods like cabbage, which stay in the stomach longer before breaking down. (By the way, the world record for cabbage consumption is 6 pounds, 9 ounces, in 9 minutes, held by American Thomas Hardy.) And he keeps trim: A skinny man's stomach has little fat to push against it and fight the food for space.
Perhaps most important, Kobayashi must train his brain. Muscles stretch when they relax, and when we eat a big meal, our stomach muscles relax so much that they send a message to the brain, which interprets the signal to mean a full belly. Then our brain stops us from eating anymore. But a good training regimen deadens this communication, causing "the signal to the brain or the brain itself to become less responsive to the large volume of food," says Douglas Seidner, M.D., program director for clinical nutrition at the Cleveland Clinic. In other words, you can eat yourself numb, or at least deaden your urge to stop.
So when you're sitting down to dinner this Thanksgiving, remember this: When your stomach begins to cry for you to slow down, it's all in your head.

Did you guys hear this story:
Kenyon Martin and Alonzo Mourning almost came to blows in practice yesterday. I can't believe what Kenyon said. I'm still laughing about it.
ZO: "This ain't funny. This is about winning."
RJ: "It's not funny, it's hilarious."
KM: "Get more than one rebound next time so that you won't have to do the extra running in practice."
ZO: "At least I'm out there on the court, not in the training room. I'm trying to make the best of my time. You can't be a leader in the trainer's room, crying, 'My ankle, my ankle.'"
KM: "My kidney, my kidney."

Who's Bad?
With Michael Jackson's mug painted across every TV and newspaper today, I thought I'd take a moment to comment on the case. If the charges are true, I believe Michael is not the only one who should be blamed for the crime.
1. What about the parents?
What more does Wacko have to do before parents stop letting their kids go over to "play with his monkey"? No matter how nice a person may seem, no matter how many zoo animals or amusement rides he has, no child of mine will ever be around, let alone sleeping with, a known suspected child molester.
Now, since this seems so obvious, a small part of me suspects the parent's of intentionally putting their son in harm's way. Although they have stated they are not interested in financial gain, can we be so sure? Maybe they're flat out lying, or maybe they allowed their son to be victimized. I may be wrong, but it's worth considering. And as for this not being about money, would you bet against a civil suit following the criminal case?
2. What about the other parents?
I'm talking about the ones who decided to take an undisclosed settlement 9 years ago instead of pursuing criminal charges against Wacko. By grabbing the cash, they ensured their son's alleged molester would remain free. If we assume Jackson is guilty in both cases, should we hold them accountable? What about their settlement? Should the allegedly molested child be entitled to a cut?
Regardless, if the allegations are true, the greatest blame falls on Michael Jackson. In no way am I trying to take away from his personal responsibility for his actions, but I am implying he may not be the only one at fault.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Aiken (PETA)
After Clay Aiken told the Rolling Stones he doesn't like cats [editor's note: has he tried them with a nice Chianti?], PETA has threatening to insult him in a national ad campaign with the slogan "Get Neutered, It Didn't Hurt Clay Aiken".
Now, don't get me wrong. I like making fun of Clay Aiken as much as anyone else. What I don't like is a national corporation such as PETA attempting blackmail. According to this Fox News Article, PETA has announced the following demand.
However, if Clay does accept the offer, he opens a pandora's box. Everyone who wants him to do something will merely have to threaten a smear campaign. In fact, Twisted Fans will be the first to jump on the bandwagon! And trust me Clay, we can come up with far worse things to call you than neutered. To prevent our vicious smear campaign, Clay (or his fans) must send one million dollars (payable to our amazon account).

if Aiken will post a message on his Web site urging pet owners to spay or neuter their animals, and give an interview for PETA's Web site, the ad campaign will be modifiedBasically, PETA is attempting to force Clay Aiken to be it's spokesperson. If this is their goal, I'm not sure they're going about it the best way. If Clay Aiken does not accept PETA's first offer, what's plan B? Sending Bob Barker to his house with an "offer he can't refuse"? Yeah, that's my guess, too.

Mass. Ruling Boosts Same-Sex Marriage: In the nation's most far-reaching decision of its kind, Massachusetts' highest court declared Tuesday that the state constitution guarantees gay couples the right to marry — a ruling celebrated with a popping of champagne corks and the planning of spring weddings.
Luckily for Sox fans this means that legalized polygamy and incest are probably not that far off.
Showed him the damn door: Keyshawn Johnson has been deactivated by the the Bucs for the rest of the season. They will trade him at the end of the season. It sounds like they did simply because Keyshawn is an asshole.
WOW...the MLS got Adu
Police Search Michael Jackson's Ranch: As the raid was under way, Court TV reported that the warrant was tied to allegations brought by a 12-year-old boy.

Previously, K-Cebo posted a link on how to make your coworkers cry. Not to be out done, I've decided to post this little gem:
If your coworker is using Windows 2000, wait for them to leave their pc, then do the following...
- Press the "Print Scrn" button on their keyboard.
- Open Microsoft Paint (Start->Programs->Accessories->Paint) and press Ctrl+V to paste the image of their screen. When prompted to enlarge the bitmap, click Yes. Next, save the image as C:\WINNT\background.bmp and then close Paint.
- Minimize all of their programs, right click on their desktop, and select properties. This will bring up the "Display Properties" window. On the Background tab, click the browse button and locate the image. Once the image is selected as the background, click over to the "Web" tab and click the checkbox labeled "Show Web content on my Active Desktop", then uncheck the box labeled "My Current Home Page". Click "OK" to close the Display Properties window.
- Back on the desktop, right click, go to "Active Desktop" and uncheck "Show desktop icons".
- Drag the taskbar to the top of the screen, and locate it's bottom edge. Drag the bottom edge up until the taskbar is no longer visible.
- Wait for your coworker to return, then laugh at their feable attempts to get their computer to respond.

The Pledge Of Allegiance
There's been a lot of press regarding the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, yet I doubt most people know the history behind it. Before attempting to discuss the current issue, let's review it's past...
The pledge was originally written in 1892 by the socialist Francis Bellamy, and differed in several aspects from the Pledge as it is known today. Here's the original text:
The next (and last) major change occurred in 1954. This was the addition of the words "under God" and was authorized by Congress. The campaign for change was led by the Knights of Columbus, who saw America's religious freedom & beliefs as one the great differencies between the U.S. and the athiestic U.S.S.R.
Now we are on a cusp of changing the Pledge again, this time undoing the last modification.
Personally, I do not feel the term 'under God' is a threat to my constitutional rights [although I agree it is constitutionaly illegal]. However, I believe the term should be removed for the same reason it was added. Originally, this term distinguished ourselves from our greatest threat. Today, our greatest threat is no longer the atheistic communist party, but is instead the religious zealotry and uneducated ideology of terrorists. Removing it would help reinforce the idea that America is guided by the belief in equality, justice and liberty, not ancient religious doctrine.
And since we're on the subject of changing the pledge, let's seriously consider adding the word "equality". Francis Bellamy originally wanted to add this term to the pledge, but left it out. The ommission was due to the fact that many opposed equality for women and African Americans.
For those counting at home, the new pledge should read as follows:

thought i was absolutely crazy when I drafted Ronald Murray in the fourth round of my fantasy basketball draft, but Murray, who is currently averaging 23.5 on 51% shooting along with 5 rebounds and 4 assists for the Supersonics, hit a buzzer beater jumper over Latrell Sprewell in the Sonics 89-87 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight while accumulating 29 points (on 50% + 92% shooting), 6 boards and 8 dimes. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Allen comes back, but for now I'm happy.

Bonzi Wells apologizes -- for whatever it was he did
The following is a transcript of Bonzi Wells' exchange with reporters on Tuesday at the Trail Blazers' practice facility in Tualatin via The Oregonian:
Q: Did you flip off a fan, Bonzi?
A: I don't remember nothing like that, but if I did, I was probably wrong. But I don't remember doing nothing like that. I black out sometimes.
Q: If you did flip off a fan last night, if your memory does come back, would you apologize?
A: Oh, definitely. When my memory comes back, I will. But, you know, I black out and have black flashes sometimes.
Q: Is your memory about ready to come back?

Abusing Math
Does this chart make any sense to you?
Supposedly, this is a graph depicting the "percentage of abortions performed by week of pregnancy", but this is impossible. Yet if it did depict this, then we must infer 22% of all abortions were performed each of the first 6 weeks, for a grand total of a 132%. Instead, this graph random adds blocks of weeks together. Perhaps the information they gathered was based on these random blocks, but most likely it was done for the purpose of supporting their own cause.
To draw this graph correctly by week, the first 6 should be approximately 4%, week 7 & 8 would stay the same, weeks 9 & 10 would be 10%, weeks 11 & 12 would be 5%, etc...
So what's different, you ask? The graph as depicted attempts to portray the numbers decreasing (with the exception of weeks 7-9) for the highest point at the start of the graph, to the lowest point at the end of the graph. In reality, the numbers should show a low beginning, followed by a peek in week 7 and 8, a decline into weeks 9-12 (yet still higher than weeks 1-6), an average of 1% for weeks 13-20, and then an almost neglible rating for the remainder of the chart.
I know no one cares about this but me, but I have a pet pieve about warping numbers to support a cause. And the really aggravating thing is it wasn't even neccessary. Clearly their is a huge drop off in the rate of abortions after the first trimester. So to highlight this, they merely had to draw the graph by month or trimester, instead of by week.
Ok, back to our regularly scheduled blog....

Does this chart make any sense to you?
Supposedly, this is a graph depicting the "percentage of abortions performed by week of pregnancy", but this is impossible. Yet if it did depict this, then we must infer 22% of all abortions were performed each of the first 6 weeks, for a grand total of a 132%. Instead, this graph random adds blocks of weeks together. Perhaps the information they gathered was based on these random blocks, but most likely it was done for the purpose of supporting their own cause.
To draw this graph correctly by week, the first 6 should be approximately 4%, week 7 & 8 would stay the same, weeks 9 & 10 would be 10%, weeks 11 & 12 would be 5%, etc...

Urban sport of"Parkour"
Check out these videos (yes, they're safe for work).
I'm not certain, but I think "Parkour" is french for "Early Death". Seriously, the local emergency room must know each one these kids on a first name basis.
Many thanks to BoingBoing.net for the link.

Revolutions Opens Today
It's opening day for The Matrix: Revolutions and the critics are raving... just not in a good way...
Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Steve Murray
"Oh well, at least we still have The Return of the King to look forward to..."
Chicago Tribune, Mark Caro
"...if you weren't keen on the direction of Reloaded, you're not likely to do an about-face as Revolutions continues down the same road."
filmcritic.com, Christopher Null
"...the Wachowski brothers have delivered a dud so disappointing, they may as well have bussed in Ewoks to save Zion."
New York Times, A.O. Scott
"There is very little that is tantalizing or suspenseful."
ReelViews, James Berardinelli
"Overlong and underwhelming..."
Rolling Stone, Peter Travers
"At the risk of understatement, The Matrix Revolutions sucks."

It's nice to know that the Middle East has people who feel this way.
