Today apparently is don’t-pay-for-software day. I say this because today is both Pirate Day (or Talk Like A Pirate Day) and Open Source Day (or Software Freedom Day). Both celebrate classic ways to not pay for your software.

The other alternative is taking them literally together like this:

We might need to call this union holiday Confused-About-What-I’m-Doing-Day or You’re-Doing-It-Wrong-Day.

Second best idea they ever had.

This is Wil Wheaton’s best post ever.

Some bad dog was recently caught on tape shoplifting a bone from the pet store:

I have hidden the secret moose. See if you can find it.

So there’s some rumors out there about maybe a Battletoads movie. There’s even a trailer.

Let’s talk about some of these things.

• Clips used in the trailer are from other trailer (TMNT , Watchmen, maybe others).
• The voice over in the trailer doesn’t sound like it’s from a good studio. Maybe someone’s basement?
• The domain name is registered by Domains By Proxy, Universal doesn’t do that.
• The movie is supposed to come out in one (1) month and we haven’t heard anything about it.
• IMDB is unaware of the existence of any Battletoads movie, and IMDB is god.
• How the hell is L. Ron Hubbard supposed to produce this movie?
• Will Smith and Sammy L. J. I get, where did Eddie Murphy come from?
• Longcat Pictures and Wirah Productions don’t even exist. I bet Wirah is the handle of whoever made this.

However, it has one redeeming factor. It’s on the intertubes, thus it has to be true. I’m pumped.

Sadly, Bonsai Kitten is no longer in business. But we can get their old site on archive.org – yay for the way back machine.

Bonsai Kitten

Turns out the woman is good for something, pointing me here.

I could end my post there but maybe I shouldn’t. You should read this BEER blog entry about common beer myths since it is amusing. To be honest, I have never heard most of those myths but they are still funny. The one I have heard is about drinking dark beer being like eating a loaf of bread.

This is stupid.

A pint of Guinness Drought (the more caloric one) has 210 calories. That’s .370 calories per gram.

A bottle of Michelob Ultra has 73 calories. That’s .265 calories per gram.

A slice of Wonder Bread contains 79 calories. That’s 2.565 calories per gram.

So beer might very well be runny bread but it’s diet runny bread. Bitches.

P.S. – Sorry for the boring post. The video is good though.
