Your eggbeater or your life

Police: Armed burglars demand man's eggbeater

It really must have been a special item. According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, two men entered a man's home early Sunday and demanded his eggbeater. One suspect was holding a pistol while the other brandished a knife to the resident's neck.

Police caught the men outside the home and they are being held in Orient Road Jail. One suspect also faces a charge of aggravated assault.

Police found the eggbeater in the man's left pocket.

I swear the strangest crimes aways happen in Florida. Why would someone steal a eggbeater? Do people still use eggbeaters? I make scrambled eggs every weekend I have never used a eggbeater. I use a fork. I see no use for a eggbeater, or for any reason to steal one.

Is Magneto planning on destroying the world?


A Giant Breach in Earth's Magnetic Field

NASA Dec. 16, 2008: NASA's five THEMIS spacecraft have discovered a breach in Earth's magnetic field ten times larger than anything previously thought to exist. Solar wind can flow in through the opening to "load up" the magnetosphere for powerful geomagnetic storms. But the breach itself is not the biggest surprise. Researchers are even more amazed at the strange and unexpected way it forms, overturning long-held ideas of space physics.

"At first I didn't believe it," says THEMIS project scientist David Sibeck of the Goddard Space Flight Center. "This finding fundamentally alters our understanding of the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction."

The magnetosphere is a bubble of magnetism that surrounds Earth and protects us from solar wind. Exploring the bubble is a key goal of the THEMIS mission, launched in February 2007. The big discovery came on June 3, 2007, when the five probes serendipitously flew through the breach just as it was opening. Onboard sensors recorded a torrent of solar wind particles streaming into the magnetosphere, signaling an event of unexpected size and importance.

"The opening was huge—four times wider than Earth itself," says Wenhui Li, a space physicist at the University of New Hampshire who has been analyzing the data. Li's colleague Jimmy Raeder, also of New Hampshire, says "1027 particles per second were flowing into the magnetosphere—that's a 1 followed by 27 zeros. This kind of influx is an order of magnitude greater than what we thought was possible."
So what does this actually mean?

The magnetosphere helps to shield the ionosphere from the solar wind. So without this shield, we then get blasted from the sun whenever there is a big solar flare. Without protection from solar flares our electronics would get fried. (and you think the lack of posts recently on theLucky is bad now)

But don't go into a panic yet, the magnetosphere is not our only protection from solar wind, our dense atmosphere helps out as well.

I guess someone could make a case that this might contribute in making our poles shift, (north pole now becomes south) but I am not so sure of this. Because we are overdue for this shift to happen. And I am sure on the internet somewhere you can find information on when the pole do shift it will be the demise of man kind. But I think this will have no effect on the poles.

So what I do find interesting is the timing. So we have a hole in our magnetoshpere 4 times the size of earth over the North Pole. And this happens a few weeks after we detonate 9 atomic bombs in the Atlantic Ocean at the Magnetic North Pole.

War is crime---On November 17 and 18, 2008 nine H-Bombs were exploded below the Arctic Ocean, near the North Magnetic Pole, within Canadian waters. The explosions were concentrated in an area about 16 km by 16 km (10 miles by 10 miles), were in the 5 to 10 Megaton range, all were 10 km (6.2 miles) deep. They punched a hole in the crust and will allow petroleum from the bottom of the crust to leak into the Arctic Ocean. This could destroy life in large sections of the area.

At a later point I will get into why we blew a gigantic hole in the North Pole. But how come I am the only person that thinks a giant hole in the sky that can possible kill all electronics on the earth is a big deal? People flipped out during Y2K when they thought that their VCR clock was not going to be able to record Law and Order at 9PM on Monday nights.

I just don't know anymore.

But the good news about this is the hole is directly over the North Pole, and hopefully it might cancel Christmas.

Christmas shopping is killing me, literally

So I have giving up trying to find my mom that special gift. Its been to hard to find, plus I have been freezing my ass off in the woods each weekend trying to catch the stupid thing.

I thought ordering gifts online would save me some money, because every time I go to the mall I end up buying something for myself. I ordered about 12 different things from Amazon.com, what I didn't realize until checkout is that each item is coming from a different location, which required each item to have its own shipping cost. But fuck it, it probably tripled my costs but it saves me from walking around a mall.

But I did have to go to the mall yesterday. I was hoping that going to the mall someone would call me with a bar crawl to go on, like last weekend. But no. After buying some little nic nacks and Xmas cards, I ended up at Williams Sonoma. I figured I could at least get some peppermint bark for myself, but no those cock suckers were out of it. But I did see a set of Rooster dinnerware that would be great for my mom's new kitchen. And at her age she could use the extra cock around the kitchen.

After buying this dishware I knew it was going to be heavy, and it was. At least Williams Sonama have some fancy bags to make it easier, but it was still heavy. So I lugged this shit home. I noticed that during the walk my fingers felt a little tingly, but I just figured that the way I was holding one of the bags it was just cutting off the circulation to my fingers a little. But now one full day later I still have numbness in my finger tips from carrying this cock set home. I feel that this numbness is somehow related to my neck nerve pain, but its just a pain in the ass. I thinking it will go away on its own, but it just adds to my disliking of x-mas shopping.

And on something completly random, how did Umass beat Kansas?

Are the Polish really that dumb?

The 5th most searched item in Poland on google this year was this video. The 5th. I just don't get it.


Actually since I am part Polish and listen to it a few times, I think I will be singing this on the way home.

Strange stuff with deers

I was recently reading about this weird story about a deer that jump through a window in a 4th grade class and kicked a boy in the head, and thought strange shit always happens to deers.

4th grader injured when deer jumps through class window

COOPERSVILLE, MICH. (WZZM) - Sometimes the children see deer near the Coopersville Schools Complex, but never this close.

"There is this loud crash and I see glass flying," says 4th grade teacher Leslie Venlet. "And there was this deer standing there looking at me straight in the eye and I thought 'Oh my gosh'."

The big, 6 point buck interrupted class near the end of the day at Coopersville East Elementary School.

10 year old Drake McKinley has a small cut on the head after the deer accidentally kicked him in the head while he sat at his desk.

These are some trail cam pictures with some strange orb flying around.

The flying milk bottles.


The Milk bottles look a lot like this object. Which was also trying to take the picture of deers.

A deer with dingleberries all over.
If you remember the Stephenville case from the beginning of this year. Here is a video of beam of light around a deer feeder.

And of course, how can you forget the deers that drop out of the sky.

Classic Fail

An anti-theft program captured the image of a man who may have stolen a laptop computer from Hiram Johnson High School, the Sacramento Police Department said.Sgt. Norm Leong said the theft took place on Oct. 14 sometime between 4 p.m. and the next morning after someone got into a school office.The school's anti-theft program allows computers to be tracked and photos to be taken of people who may be using them, Leong said.

There so many things I love about this story. The most important thing is that you shouldn't steal, specially computers with web cams. I had no idea that computers had such cool anti-theft devices.

Its a fabulous picture of the guy, looks like he was completely ready for his picture to be taking. Little bit of "OOO" face going on. Can't wait to see what his mug shot will look like.

Looks like the guy is in Grounds Keeper Willy's shed.

The guy totally has a tissue in his hand, I can only imagine that the dude's pants are either around the ankles or about to be.

After knowing that, does the school really want its lab top back? Definitely needs to be sanitized afterwards.

Yankees harpoon CC Fatbastardia


LAS VEGAS – CC Sabathia is not going to play on the West Coast. He is not going to play in the National League. CC Sabathia is going to be a Yankee, The Post has learned exclusively. After three straight days of face-to-face meetings between GM Brian Cashman and Sabathia, the big lefty decided he wants to spend the next six years of his career as a Yankee. The decision came late last night after Cashman flew to see Sabathia at his home in San Francisco. By the time the meeting was concluded, Sabathia had informed the Yankees that he had made his decision to call New York his baseball home, the Post has learned.

Like there was any doubt he was going to sign there. The Yankees were throwing so much more money at him than any other team. The Players Associate was putting pressure on him to take the deal because it would have screwed other players of larger contracts.

This is a typical Yankee signing. Sign a guy coming off the best years of his career, and only have him productive for maybe two seasons, then complain about the guy for the remaining four years when he sucks.

He is a fat man who has thrown the most innings in the last two seasons. This is a recipe for disaster. Fat people need to take it easy or they will break down. Probably by year three of the contract. My guess is that a knee will go, because of all the weight they have to hold up.

CC should as fit in perfectly with A Rod in the postseason too. They can compete on who can get booed more. CC has a career 7.92 ERA in the postseason. He loves dominating the crappy teams, but he is not a clutch player.

2009 season prediction with the Yanks: 17-11 3.82 ERA 210 innings 189k's. Not bad, but this will be his best season with the Yanks.
