Lebron jokes around with Cavs bench. Why?

At last night's Cavs vs Heat game, Lebron James was frequently seen hanging out near the Cavs' bench, looking like he was having fun. this was enough to steam Charles Barkley, who felt it wasn't very professional. Lebron handled himself well though, although it really seems he was out to show off to his former fanbase. Whatevs Lebron.

Hats off to Cleveland fans though, who didn't stalk him or throw stuff at him the way other rabid fans may do.

Does Google Instant Know What You're Thinking?

Google, the most popular search engine on the internet, recently released Google Instant -- a speedier way to find what you may potentially be looking for. Type in a word or two in google.com's search box and suggestions will appear as you type. The suggestions are often hilarious and supposedly based on trends. Does Google know what you want? Here's a sampling:

Typing in "why" pulls up "why is the sky blue?" and "why is a raven like a writing desk?"

Typing in "who" results in "who won American Idol?"

"How come" nets "How come you don't call me?" (partial title of a Prince song) or "how come lyrics."

"Where can" brings up "where can I buy silly bandz" and "where can I watch free movies online."

"What if" once again goes the music route -- "What if" lyrics and "What if God was one of us."

"Why do" nets "why do cats purr?" and "Why do dogs eat grass?"

"How long" results in "how long does it take to boil corn?" and "how long does it take to get a passport?"

"What do I" turns into "What do I want to eat?"

Based on these results, it seems google users as a whole like music, free movies, silly bandz and for search engines to tell us what we want for dinner.

So does Google Instant know what its users are thinking? In this case, not at all.

Cleveland trashes Lebron


Cavs lovers know just what to do with a cardboard Lebron standup. (Perhaps alcohol was involved.. hmm.) More here: http://weirdeststuff.com/2010/07/cleveland-trashes-lebron/

which will do a better job for the oil spill cleanup: BP or goverment?

We came across a headline earlier hinting that people trust BP more than the government as far as getting the oil spill cleaned up. Interesting. what do u think?


(gross reference alert -- stop reading if you don't want to see the next part!)







maybe tampax should step in..just saying.

I think I'm going to change my name to vuvuzela

it just sounds nice (unlike the horns themselves which are the instrumental equivalant of Gilbert Gottfried's voice).

heavenly help 101

while this isn't really a news item, i thought it would be helpful to those going through whatever difficulties life presents. It certainly has helped me quite a bit.

here you go:

1.whatever one's thoughts are focused upon grows and expands, so it's important to thinkonly on good things. When troublesome thoughts arise, if need be, askoneself, "is this coming from a place of love?" If it's not love, move themind on to something good, even if there's only one small good thing onecan think of.

2. Nothing or no one is more powerful than God. There is nothing in anyrealm - physical, emotional, mental or spiritual - above God. ALL ofthat can be overcome and/or returned to the nothingness from which itcame when we ask for God's help and know it is already here. Rely noton one's own understanding. Ask and it is given unto you. Falseappearances/dark thoughts have no real power other than what we givethem, so cast 'em aside and be free. God is stronger than anything.
