The Corporate Bullshit Generator is a must-have for anyone who has ever worked or will ever work in or around cubicles.

How about Adrienne Claire? Or Fleur Jade?

Isn’t Fleur Jade that dim sum place down the street?

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”.

This is hilar­ious!

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??).

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!

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 9^th 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!

The guy is totally nuts, eh?
