I love the internet - it is often funny and weird in a wonderfully awkward way.

Man Babies is a perfect example. The premise is simple: edit an image to switch the heads of men and their children. The results, however, are oddly unsettling… yet I can’t look away!

Love it!

I got tagged by Deanna, so here are five random things about me:

1. My right pinkie finger was broken a few years ago and cannot lay flat.
2. I think my wife looks great in gowns and dresses, but I find myself very attracted to her when she’s in bumming-around clothes.
3. I daydream about starting up a website and becoming the next Kevin Rose (digg) or Mark Zukerburg (facebook).
4. I love eating candy more than a grown man should.
5. I am jealous of people in Britain because they can watch the BBC without paying for cable or downloading from the internet.

I now tag Alison & Matt, Posey & Lawrence, Tiffany & Tim, and my wife to list five (5) random things about themselves.

Shannon got back from the eye doctor where they dilated her pupils. Freaky!

So, twice (that I know of) we have been warming something in the microwave when suddenly sparks start to fly:

There doesn’t seem to be a pattern - each of the items in the microwave this time (ziploc lid, carrots, black beans) have each been microwaved before without incident.

Is our microwave dying? Could it have something to do with the iron content of the food? Do I need to buy lead onesies for Libby?

During our recent visit to San Diego we were lucky to drive by the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, or perhaps more commonly known as the “boobs from The Naked Gun movie.” I took a picture so that we may all enjoy the power of nuclear boobs:

I have no idea. Don’t ask. Just watch.

Update: a friend has informed me that the reclined gentleman is the (rather famous) Indian actor Rajinikanth.

Guess who just emptied our downstairs freezer and found 16 gallon bags of breast milk? (psst… it’s me!)

Currently Shannon and I are trying to find the best way to use this milk, such as donating it to a milk bank. However there are at least two possible issues with this plan: some of the milk has been frozen for up to 6 months, and some of the milk suffers from an excess of lipase.

Lipase is an enzyme in human milk that breaks down fat and creates a funky odor (even when frozen). Fat is important in milk, not only for the nutritional needs of the baby but also to make the milk palatable (compared to cow’s milk, human milk is very sweet tasting because of it’s fat content).

A word to the wise: if we could go back in time and scald the milk before freezing then this lipase problem would be greatly reduced. Alas the ability to time travel still eludes me.

I occasionally enjoy a can of Diet Dr. Pepper at work. I began to notice some very strange behavior if the cola was not chilled in the fridge (i.e. taken directly from the case under my desk). I don’t shake it up, the cans are at room temperature, and no mentos are involved. I give you Exhibit A:
Anyone else notice Diet Dr. Pepper acting strange at room temperature?

God, I love Japanese television. Need I say more?

The guy who runs Feast of Crumbs does a lot of “mini” posting, which is a fancy way of saying that he posts short snippets and thoughts. Think Twitter or Facebook status indicators, but within the flow of a blog.

Anyway I thought I might start doing that, because sometimes I want to write something that doesn’t deserve a full post. So here’s a list of a few:

• Pokemon is basically cock fighting for kids.
• Anyone who claims they never poop is full of shit.
• I wish I had heard about the geek t-shirt that says “rm -rf /bin/laden” five years ago - that is freakin’ hysterical.
