Japan, land of the insane. If you live there, you may have seen ads for Windows 7 from Burger King. The Windows 7 Whopper is a whopping 7 slices thick, more then enough to get your mouth around. What’s worse, is the Windows 7 Whopper is around 1,000 calories, and costs around $8.50. I am not sure how one can even eat it without breaking it down into smaller parts. Who has a mouth large enough? Maybe Jack in the Box can provide a car jack. Get it?

Geocities Closing Tomorrow
Posted: October 25, 2009 at 7:30 pm by Nathan Driskell
A long time staple of the Internet shuts down tomorrow for good. Geocities, a free online website system, shuts down tomorrow with no intentions to return. All websites being hosted by Geocities will go down, with all data erased forever. Geocities has been around since the beginning of the Internet in 1994, allowing financially challenged individuals free websites. For many, tomorrow will be a dark day.
Meet George, the Hypnotherapist

To the right you will see George, a licensed Hypnotherapist. No, really, George is a Hypnotherapist. Just look at his eyes, the way they gaze back at you, pulling you in. With just a movement with his paw, you are under his control. He will make sure to help cure you of any unconscious material, as he is fully qualified. At least, according to the British Board of Neuro Linguistic Programming (BBNLP), the United Fellowship of Hypnotherapists (UFH) and the Professional Hypnotherapy Practitioner Association (PHPA). In case you do not know, George is a cat.
Is Broadband Internet Access a Right?
Posted: October 16, 2009 at 2:40 am by Nathan Driskell
CNN reported today that Finland is to become the first nation to declare broadband access a legal right. Starting in July of next year, telecommunication companies will be required by law to provide internet access at speeds of at least 1 megabit per second. No other nation on earth currently has this right. Finland plans to up the speed to 100 megabits per second by 2015. While you may think this is a difficult task for Finland’s government to achieve, 95% of Finland already has online access, making Finland one of he most wired countries in the world.
Communism At Work
Posted: October 6, 2009 at 2:06 am by Nathan Driskell
Last week I wrote an article on Psychcomp.com regarding the Empire State Building displaying the Chinese colors on the 60th anniversary of Communism in China. In the past five days, I have had over 4,000 visitors from Taiwan try to access this article. At the beginning I would have bursts of 200-300 visitors every 3-4 hours, as direct traffic to this one article. I tried to determine where this traffic came from, but I could not figure it out.

Genital Retraction Syndrome: Penis Panic
Posted: October 3, 2009 at 4:36 am by Nathan Driskell
In the case of extremely bizarre disorders, Genital Retraction Syndrome takes the cake. Often a culture-specific syndrome, it is a condition where an individual believes his or her genitals are retracting into the body, shrinking, or have been removed. This occurs in both males and females, where men often feel their penis is retracting into their body while women feel their breasts are retracting or shrinking. This disorder often occurs in Africa and Asia, and often in areas where there is little access to medical information, leading people to believe myths and superstition.
