What do you get if you cross the venerable xkcd and dinosaur comics? Why, xkcdinosaurcomics of course.
Now, why have I only just found this? :)

Facebook – become a fan
Users don’t like new “Facebook login page”…
Seems a lot of clueless users have been trying to get to Facebook by searching for “facebook login” rather than going to Facebook, and landing on a blog post titled Facebook wants to be your one true login from ReadWriteWeb, not understanding that they’re on an entirely different site, and bitching (in depressingly moronic ways) that they don’t like the new Facebook login, or can’t understand how to log in.
The comments on that post (all 7 pages, as of last time I looked) make for depressing reading.
Now, I don’t like to make fun of people just because their computer skills might not be particularly good, but the lack of literacy, reading skills, logic and general comprehension shown in the comments is just… it’s depressing.
Some examples:
WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN ON WITH THIS FACEBOOK.. FIRST YOU WANNA CHARGE NA YOU WANNA NOT LET US LOG IN….. UGH STOP CHANGIN IT I LIKE THE OLD FB…. IF YOU ARE THE NEW OWNER YOU SUCK AND I WISH YOU WOULD CREATE UR OWN SHTY AND LEAVE FB ALONE LOSER………

Ok If I have to I will comment,I love facebook so right now just want to log in if thats ok with you..lol Keep up the good work…
OK, that’s enough examples of epic fail.
It makes you wonder how some of these people survive in general life, and how they managed to get on the Internet in the first place.
*Yoink* Om nom nom…
A little windy… Metcheck fail
Hmm, Metcheck seem to think it’s going to get a little breezy next week:
Forecasting 305mph winds on Wednesday night? That would be rather far off the wrong end of the Beaufort scale, and I don’t think my fence would take kindly to that :)
Jacko dominates the charts, again
Michael Jackson was a true legend, one of the best musical entertainers for a long time, and of cause his untimely demise was a big shame.
But, what’s with the number of his songs in the charts?
I don’t understand this – the real fans who will really miss him will already *have* his albums, so why are his singles now suddenly selling so much? Who are these people who presumably didn’t think much of him when he was alive, but now want to buy his music so much now he’s passed on?
Granted, it’s good to see the quality of the music in the charts inproving, but how’s this for mad (this is looking at the chart for the week of 2009-07-06):
| Position | Song |
|---|---|
| 2 | Man In The Mirror |
| 10 | Billie Jean |
| 12 | Thriller |
| 13 | Smooth Criminal |
| 19 | Beat It |
| 25 | Black Or White |
| 26 | Dirty Diana |
| 32 | They Don’t Care About Us |
| 33 | Earth Song |
| 34 | The Way You Make Me Feel |
| 35 | You Are Not ALone |
| 38 | Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough |
| 40 | Bad |
| 43 | I Want You Back (Jackson 5) |
| 46 | Ben |
| 50 | ABC (Jackson 5) |
That’s just those within the top 50 – there’s a few more between 50 and 75 too.
It’s a fitting tribute to a great entertainer, but it still puzzles me.
Ryanair “standing room only” plans?
Ryanair passengers could soon fly for free – if they want to stand for their journey
Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary told Sky News the low-cost airline was considering ripping out the back few rows of seats on some flights.
Um, what? I’m pretty sure that won’t fly.
The FAA regulations definately require suitable seats with safety belts:
Sec. 121.311 – Seats, safety belts, and shoulder harnesses.
(a) No person may operate an airplane unless there are available during the takeoff, en route flight, and landing —
(1) An approved seat or berth for each person on board the airplane who has reached his second birthday; and
(2) An approved safety belt for separate use by each person on board the airplane who has reached his second birthday, except that two persons occupying a berth may share one approved safety belt and two persons occupying a multiple lounge or divan seat may share one approved safety belt during en route flight only.
(b) Except as provided in this paragraph, each person on board an airplane operated under this part shall occupy an approved seat or berth with a separate safety belt properly secured about him or her during movement on the surface, takeoff, and landing. A safety belt provided for the occupant of a seat may not be used by more than one person who has reached his or her second birthday.
Pretty sure the CAA/JAA will have similar rules.
My first instinct was to check whether this story was published April 1st, but clearly not.
Now, does someone think this will really work, or is it just a PR stunt to get people talking about Ryanair again (much like previous suggestions on charging to use toilets etc)?
If you’re having a bad day…
Found out about FMyLife from a colleague. If you’re having a bad day, have a read, and I’ll bet you won’t feel so bad anymore.
A few class examples:
Today, I was holding a lit cigarette in one hand and a lollipop in the other. Guess which one I licked? FML
Today, my family was preparing a turkey for my grandma’s birthday dinner when my aunt noticed a utensil on the counter and asked what it was for. My mom said it was used to keep the turkey’s legs together. My aunt responded to her by saying, “Maybe you should get one for your daughter.” FML
Today, while driving home I had to pee really bad. I decided to speed to get home quicker. I got pulled over for speeding and peed my pants. The cop, assuming I was drunk, made me take a sobriety test. I had to walk a straight line with piss all over my pants at 2:00 in the afternoon. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend’s parents for the first time. We got on the discussion of animals, and I showed them a picture of my cat on my phone. Being a touchscreen, when her father grabbed it, it changed picture. To a picture of my girlfriend, fully nude. FML
Today, is my mothers birthday. I decided to take her out to lunch. On the way there, we had a car accident. It was my fault. For my mothers birthday I gave her: 3 broken ribs. FML
Today, was my first meeting with business partners as I am new to the team. Instead of saying that I was looking forward to “stretching my legs” or “spreading my wings”, I told them I was anxious to start “spreading my legs”. FML
Today, I was driving home at night when I saw a billboard flash “report drunk drivers”. 15 minuted later, I saw someone drive recklessly as if they were drunk. When I called the cops, I got pulled over by another cop for talking on my cell phone. I got a $150 ticket. FML
Today, I went to meet my girlfriends parents for the first time. I accidently drove past their house the first time, but saw the whole family outside waiting to meet me. I pulled a U-Turn and heard a thud. The whole family watched me run over their dog. FML
Today, I had my first real meeting with my girlfriend’s parents. We had dinner at a pretty upscale restaurant and everything was going great. When the check came, I offered to pay and I stood up to take out my wallet. When I opened it, 3 condoms fell out on the table in front of them. FML
Today, I was on Facebook looking at pictures of my boyfriend, who was in his friend’s wedding this past weekend. He said that none of the girlfriends could come because it would cost too much for the couple. I spent the weekend alone, and all his friend’s girlfriends are in the pictures. FML
Twatspotting
Just a quick post to link to a couple of new blogs set up by my friends:
- London Fashion Victim – highlighting excellent examples of Shoreditch twattery – the fine art of people around Shoreditch to make a complete and utter twat out of themselves in the name of “fashion”
- Mind the Twat – "inconsiderate bastards on the tube"
