• Hacking Iraq- via The Localist
  "For now, at least, 350 soldiers in Iraq are free to post to their blogs, watch pornography, and order cans of spaghetti-os from Amazon." An amazing story about soldiers setting up and paying for their own networks to plug into the internet.
• Man says he's on heroin to avoid jury duty- via Yahoo! News
  This sounds like something that I'd get into trouble for doing. This line slays me: "Ratliffe filled out a questionnaire form for potential jurors and professed to having a "bad jonesin' for heroin."" Good God that's funny.
• A Comcast Technician Sleeping on my Couch- via YouTube
  Funny stuff.
• Best Colbert Bit Ever- via YouTube
  Stephen's laugh kills me.
• "Snakes On A Plane" parody posters
  Geez, the movie hasn't even come out yet...
