WillItBlend.com is a site that’s devoted to finding out if things blend.
Interestingly and expectedly, they’ll take any item you’d not normally put in your blender and see “if it blends”.
Take a look if you want to see them take the shit out of toy cars, mobile phones, and an iPod as per this example

This caught my eye in SCMP today. A lady took a wrong bus and ended up separated from home and family for 25 years!

A 76-year-old woman from southern Thailand who got on the wrong bus 25 years ago and ended up living at the other end of the country has been reunited with her family.
Unable to speak, read or write Thai, Jaeyaena Beuraheng boarded a bus in Malaysia thinking it was bound for Narathiwat, one of three Muslim-majority provinces in Buddhist Thailand’s far south, where most people speak Malay.
Instead, she ended up 1,200km to the north in Bangkok.
Her predicament grew worse when she boarded a bus she thought was heading south only to end up in Chiang Mai, a further 700km to the north, the Nation newspaper reported.
She eked out a living as a beggar for five years before being arrested in 1987 and put into a centre for homeless people in a nearby province, where she has remained ever since.
The woman was finally reunited with her eight children - who were told she had been run over by a train - after three students from Narathiwat came to work at the centre and spoke to her.
“It was only when the students in Muslim clothes visited her and she started chatting to them that we realised she wasn’t mute and could actually talk,” centre director Jintana Satjang said.
The woman had been known as “Mrs Mon” because centre staff thought her mutterings sounded like Mon, a tribal language in neighbouring Myanmar.

How come every year the winner of the Miss Universe pageant is from earth?
This show must be rigged.

This picture is taken by the hubble telescope. It’s a picture of some distant star cluster. Made me think of the all seeing eye of Sauron in Lord of the Rings.
Nice picture. If you like more of this, click here, which takes you to a Google search on the same.

It’s that busy time of the year again in the office. Seemingly all projects are coming to the same deadline and everyone is struggling to keep clients happy.
In the midst of it all, the building management of the office we lease has decided to put up the Xmas decoration. That’s fine, however, this year - as a bonus - they also decided to change the elevator music and the music you hear in the washrooms…
NOW WHAT’S THE BLOODY POINT IN THAT?
Does the building management really think that listening to “AVE MARIA” and “THE POWER OF LOVE” and other sentimental touchy feely Xmas songs will make the people feel better in their daily work?
Think again please.
Cheers,
Marc
