Jaywalking academic assaulted by Atlanta police

By Kiran, on January 12, 2007

Because there really aren’t bigger problems in the world.

The professor had hoped to spend the afternoon listening to discourse on arcane topics. Instead, he was handcuffed to another suspect and fingerprinted in a detention centre, where his peppermints were confiscated, “presumably on the suspicion that they might be some kind of narcotic”.

Crazy Patents

By Kiran, on December 27, 2006

Stumbling across the Free Patents website couple of days ago, I put it into my del.icio.us bookmarks and revisited it today. After registering with a free account, I was able to view the detailed patent information for all the patents listed here (like, lots).
Anyway, I’ve been browsing through the Crazy Patents listings on the site and there’s some really twisted stuff people come up with! Like the “vehicle mounted toilet seat” (When you’re on the go and you gotta go??) or the nifty “inclining coffin” (When you’re dead but want a seat on the breakfast table??). Complete w/ wild illustrations this site has some great (and many insane) ideas… for something… I know I can figure out what.

How To Be an Expert on Anything…

By Kiran, on September 3, 2006

Stephen Colbert imparts sage wisdom in Wired Magazine…

DON’T BE AFRAID TO MAKE THINGS UP. Never fear being exposed as a fraud. Experts make things up all the time. They’re qualified to.

PICK A FIELD THAT CAN’T BE VERIFIED. Try something like string theory or God’s will: “I speak to God. I’m sorry that you can’t also.” Security experts are in this category: They have security clearances, we don’t. We can’t question the expertise of the NSA because we are not in the NSA.

GET AN HONORARY PHD. They work wonders. I have a doctorate in fine arts from Knox College in Illinois. All I did was give a speech, and now everybody has to call me Dr. Colbert.

This guy is on fire!

Y.A.A.F.M. – Scientology

By Kiran, on December 8, 2005

The South Park episode #912 entitle “Trapped in the closet” addressed the Church of Scientology, in particular its 2 famous faces, Tom Cruise and John Travolta. In what is my favourite episode of the 9th season, Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Co. masterfully exposed the inane concepts that form the basis of this religious cult.

This excellent flash cartoon (adult themed) from ZipperFish.com, also exposing Scientology, its founder L. Ron Hubbard, and its followers is a must-see!
