The Power of Antioxidants and Tea

Tea, whether black or green, caffeinated or decaffeinated (herbal teas don’t count), has spectacular antioxidant capabilities owing to large amounts of substances called flavonoids. In addition to preventing oxidation, flavonoids may have an anticlotting effect.

I’m 23 years old, I’ve been drinking tea for about 20 years now. I average about 2 to 4 cups of day, and it sure beats the taste of coffee. The taste is more consistent and there are more health benefits then from a single cup of Joe.

Letters to Santa

Deer Santa,
I wud like a kool toy space ranjur fer Xmas. I’v ben a gud boy all yeer.
Yer Friend, Billy

Dear Billy,
Nice spelling. You’re on your way to a career in lawncare. How about I send you a book so you can learn to read and spell? I’m giving your older brother the space ranger. At least HE can spell.
Santa


Dear Santa,
I have been a good girl all year, and the only thing I ask for is peace and joy in the world for everybody! Love, Sarah

Dear Sarah,
Your parents smoked pot when they had you, didn’t they?
Santa


Dear Santa,
I don’t know if you can do this, but for Christmas, I’d like for my mommy and daddy to get back together. Please see what you can do.
Love,
Teddy

Dear Teddy,
Look, your dad’s banging the babysitter like a screen door in a hurricane. Do you think he’s gonna give that up to come back to your frigid mom, who rides his ass constantly? It’s time to give up that dream. Let me send you some Legos instead.
Santa


Dear Santa,
I want a new bike, a Playstation 2, a train, some G.I. Joes, a dog, a drum kit, a pony and a tuba.
Love, Francis

Dear Francis,
Who names their kid ‘Francis’ nowadays? I bet you’re gay. I’ll set you up with a Barbie.
Santa


Dear Santa,
I left milk and cookies for you under the tree, and I left carrots for your reindeer outside the back door. Love, Susan

Dear Susan,
Milk gives me the shits and carrots make the deer fart in my face when riding in the sleigh. You want to do me a favor? Leave me a bottle of Scotch.
Santa


Dear Santa,
What do you do the other 364 days of the year? Are you busy making toys?
Your friend, Thomas

Dear Thomas,
All the toys are made in China . I have a condo in Vegas where I spend most of my time making low-budget porno films. I unwind by drinking myself silly and squeezing the asses of cocktail waitresses while losing money at the craps table. Hey, you wanted to know.
Santa


Dear Santa,
Do you see us when we’re sleeping, do you really know when we’re awake, like in the song?
Love, Jessica

Dear Jessica,
Are you really that gullible? Good luck in whatever you do. I’m skipping your house.
Santa


Dear Santa,
I really want a puppy this year. Please, please, please, PLEASE, PLEASE could I have one?
Love, Timmy

Dear Timmy,
That whiny begging shit may work with your folks, but that crap doesn’t work with me. You’re getting a sweater again.
Santa


Dearest Santa,
We don’t have a chimney in our house. How do you get into our home?
Love, Marky

Dear Mark,
First stop callling yourself ‘Marky’, that’s why you’re getting your ass whipped at school. Second, you don’t live in a house, you live in a low-rent apartment complex. Third, I get inside your pad just like the boogeyman does, through your bedroom window.
Sweet dreams, Santa

Bush Dodges Shoe’s

Ok, unlike the Nike saying “Just Do It”… Here’s something you probably shouldn’t do. America’s biggest failure President Bush had a pair of shoe’s thrown at him at a conference, who does that? Not only are you going to spend a crapload of time in jail for something so stupid… You just lost a pair of shoe’s! Poor dude didn’t even get a hit. Just a wasted attempt. But he is know the most popular person in the world, at least for the rest of December 14th, 2008.

And, I won’t let you guys down… Here’s the video. 🙂

Toy Warning

Here’s a warning for all you parents out there. Don’t buy the Bonzai waterpark for your kids. It’s sorely misleading and unless you’re kids are midgets, you’re better off having them do laps in the kitchen sink.


Fun for the whole family...

Nothing Exciting Here

Just some general site news, to let you know I’m not dead or completely slacking off. I just upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. 2.7 includes a whole new admin area, which is pretty nice. It’s going to take some time to get used to. Note for other webmasters out there who use WordPress, if you use the Lighter Menu’s plug-in, be sure to deactivate it before you upgrade, otherwise you’ll be wondering where everything went… hah.

As for updates, I’ve been sick the past few days. Almost feeling better… abut 85% I’d say. I’m going to head to bed early tonight and hopefully be better tomorrow morning to finish off the work week. Look forward to a few posts this weekend.

Duplicating Keys via Distant Digital Images

Beware of flashing your keys in public.

Computer scientists at the University of California at San Diego have developed software that can make a duplicate of a key from just a distant photo of it using technology available to almost anyone.

Referred to as Sneakey, the system is capable of “teleduplication–extracting a key’s complete and precise bitting code at a distance via optical decoding and then cutting precise duplicates,” according to Sneakey’s Web site.

Part of the project’s mission is to make people realize that traditional keys are not really as safe as they might think. Relatively modest technology is now capable of the imaging and computer vision algorithms necessary to duplicate an image precisely, according to the group.

To illustrate the point, they photographed a set of keys they casually placed on the table at a cafe from about 195 feet away using a telephoto lens.
