Pet washing

I came across this "Pet Spa" today, and at first you think it's a great idea. You put the puppy in dirty, and (s)he comes out clean. I bet my puppy would love it, although she would probably try to eat the water. From every nozzle. At the same time.

There seems to be a problem with cats, though. Apparently, cats don't like water, especially not in enclosed spaces.

Isn't it awefully nice?

I'm a little behind the times, but the other day I was watching the Today show (it's on in the mornings) and they were doing a story on fake drugs. Apparently there is big money in making fakies for Viagra, Cialas, and the like. By contacting one of the larger distributors in China, they were able to obtain some fake Viagra. They took these fakes to Pfizer, the makers of Viagra, to have them analyze the pill's contents.

It's a good thing I didn't have a mouth full of milk when they announced that the chemist that they were working with was named John Thomas, because the tv would have been white.

For those of you that don't get the irony, you've not seen Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, or don't recognize the British slang. I'll leave looking that up as an exercise to the reader.

I'm going to Google...

I will be the chief chloroform in a new rose shaped building.

Seriously, what is the fascination with google based april fool's jokes today? I've read 4 blogs now that say they all got a new job at the googleplex. It caught me the first time I saw one, but after reading it over and over, it's getting really old. At least there was one where a y! guy and a goog guy swapped jobs, and swapped blogs as well.

Maybe I'm just jealous because I didn't come up with it first? Dobutful.

Outsourcing gone too far?

Yet another funny cartoon. I could almost see this in a south park episode.
