Child's Play

So here's a pretty funny article I came across.

Apparently they have Elmo dolls that can learn kids' names and talk to them. Personally, I think that's pretty creepy.

Anyways, this one particular doll owned by a 2-year old named James was working perfectly. It's batteries died, and upon resurrection (didn't this kid's mom fucking read Mary Shelley?) the doll became evil and started saying "Kill James". There's a video of it on the link above, and this isn't some paranoid mother hearing things like she's playing Lucy In The Sky backwards. Elmo is actually fucking saying "Kill James".

This is either an awesome prank by someone at Mattel (or whoever) or a lesson that the dead should not be fucked with.

Fucked Up Animals

I hate having to get my news from yahoo, but since I don't have time to watch TV (well, the news at least) or read the paper, I'm stuck with that.

Anyways, I was looking up some cardiovascular nonsense on yahoo and ran into this article and had to look it up.

Hexapus? Six-armed octopus?




Sounds awesome. Apparently the scientists who discovered it are toting "Henry" as a result of a congenital defect and not a result of (de?)evolution of the octopus lineage or the bastard product of a wood-chipper accident.

Speaking of fucked up animals, let's take a trip halfway around the world to our old acquaintances, Hamas.

No moron, not the chickpea dip you eat with pita, the militant Palestinian organization.

Apparently has come out with a children's program that touts a bunny that is vaguely reminiscent of a live-action Bugs, claiming that-- Allah willing-- he will eat the Jews. Here's a clip.

This is weird for a couple reasons:
1) I didn't think rabbits were carnivores.
2) I feel like of all the various demographics, the Jews would not be one of the more tasty. Just my opinion.

Does this remind anyone else of the killer rabbit from The Holy Grail?



Gruesome!

Alright, that's all for now. Later bitches.

Daniel Plainview Announces Presidential Bid

I thought this was pretty funny, if you've seen the movie. Good impersonation.

It's about goddamn time

This is the change America has needed

Revival

I'm gonna ~revive this, but it'll be less poker content and more "life" content, because I play so little now.

I did play in a $2 rebuy +1 tournament. With $2 rebuys, I managed to blow about $80 on the tourney. Nice work, me.

Anyways, I stumbled across this website the other day. It's pretty interesting.



I was (re)watching an old WPT and saw Paul Phillips, and decided to check out his blog which I haven't look at in a while, and he'd also put up a link to this. A couple comments on his site pointed out a few interesting facts regarding this webpage:

• Compare the differences between "The Holy Bible" and "I don't read".
  
• Those who read "The Bible," as opposed to it's Holy counterpart, score roughly 150 points higher on their SATs.

I think it's also important to note that Russian authors dominate this list, and that apparently Mormon's are much smarter than Christians. I'm curious as to where the Koran would fit on here, as my Muslim friends all seem to be smart as fuck.
