Who wants a pair of $500 sunglasses that you will sit on some day or never wear, when you can pay $7 and get a pair that are made to be strong and easily cleaned? Plus at the $7 price point, who cares if you only wear them a few times a year?! I’m talking about Knockaround Sunglasses, and they are apparently more popular than I thought. After reading about them on The Cool Hunter, I was poised to order a pair, but now their site says the popular glasses are backordered 2-4 weeks. Yikes.

Why are they so popular? Well some guy from Laguna Beach was caught wearing them. So that explains the Teeny-Bopper popularity…But I like them because they have that great 80’s classic sunglasses style look to them, and you can clean them with your finger! And I quote: “And they’re a breeze to clean- just use your fingertips to scrub with soap and warm water.” Nice.

Pick up a pair today and if your nice you can order me some too. (I like the white ones.)

Hasbro allows you to print more Monopoly money on your own, as much as you want, for free. Very cool. You can click on each denomination and its opens a PDF of the bill that you can print out on your own. Yeah for the internet!

Thats all. You’ve probably already heard about it, being on Digg and BoingBoing and all, but I just thought it was cool.

It seems like I’ve been waiting my whole life for this moment. But if that were true, then I would have been wishing for two babies to make out in the early 90’s and they would be not exactly what I’m into. So I guess I’ve only been waiting for this moment for 3-4 years or so. Still fun though.

I’m going to assume you’ve heard about the “Bird Flu” that is doing its best to fullfill the statement: “Today the birds, tomorrow the world” Note, I don’t think to flu actually thinks that, its just a dumb joke I threw in there…unless the flu was released my an evil genius that is somewhere under a mountain sculpted to look like his head petting a cat. If that is the case, maybe that is his mantra. In which case, its not a joke.

Where was I? Oh right the “Bird Flu”. Well if you really into that kind of thing, someone has setup a webcam so you can watch 2 chickens, named Thelma and Louise, in a cage in Europe and see if they get funky…I mean get the Flu. To me this sounds endlessly boring. Its not like the birds are going to start choking and screaming when bumps appear on their skin and their face melts like the solider that dies at the beginning of The Rock. If that starts to happen to one of these Chicken’s let me know, otherwise just watch it on your own with the rest of Europe.

Note: Has anyone else noticed that when the talk of this flu first started it was called “The Avian Flu”, but then the press here in the US decided we were all too stupid to realize that “avian” meant birds, so they changed it?

File this under trendy / weird websites.

20-goto-10.com is a website that’s navigation kind of emulates DOS. Its fun for a little bit as you play around with it but then after you try out each of the 10 commands you get tired of it. The navigation is fun, interesting and crappy to use. The visuals of the site are interesting and lame. Of course none of this is that surprising because it emulates DOS and DOS sucks. Although its a cool trick with some AJAX and CSS, its really better suited as a section of someone’s site, not the whole thing.

Check it out and l let me know what you think. Though I’m assuming you’ll agree with me because I’m awesome.

Enough of this three Apple posts in a row crap. Lets move on to something new an exciting…like another web test. Wait! I’m not talking about another Purity Test from TheSpark, this one is from the BBC and it will tell you if your brain matches your bits a pieces down below.

Its kind of a long test, so its maybe more of a lunch-break or you an “I have a boring job” thing, but it is pretty interesting to see how you well you think about things like: Getting feelings from just someone’s eyes, rotating objects in your mind and your empathy towards others. Also, at one point, the test does require a ruler, for some reason I had one at the office, but if you don’t use this web version.

Ok, go forth test take! I would love to see some results in the comments if you are so inclined. I’ll spill the beans on my test score if others post first. Yup, it turns out I’m a pussy.

Origionally I was planning to author this post through the new buzz-making browser flock execpt that I can’t get it to accept this sites admin system. So right away, I find something that is broken. It is, after all, a “developer release” so some broken features are to be expected. But now that I have left Flock to the greener, more stable, pastures of Firefox, let me fill you in on what Flock is.

First, what is it supposed to be? Flock is being billed as a web browser for “today’s internet”. HTe internet has changed in recent years and we need a new, more connected browser. For instance, Flock hooks your bookmarks up to the social bookmarking site del.icio.us, they have a mini-bowser built it so one may traverse the popular, and recently often broken, photo site flickr and it will someday allow you to post to your blog via the browser (though aparently not today).

So what is Flock in reality? Firefox, which what Flock is based off of, with a bunch of cool extensions baked in. Will Flock change our world? Nope. Is Flock something we really haven’t seen yet? Not really. And lastly…is Flock even worth downloading and checking out? Sure, why not. Though I would wait for the next release.

Today while reading The Register, we here at Hell Yeah Bitch!.com where humbled by their amazing skill on headline writting:

NZ finds Black Cocks hard to swallow

No, I didn’t make that up. See for yourself. Is it immature? My god yes. Does it still make me and, I’m assuming, you laugh (even if its on the inside)? Yes, yes it does.

Some guy made a “Work Blind” for his cubicle.

I had [info]buttercup666 stand in my neighbor’s cubicle and take a picture of me hard at work. Then I straightened the photo, undistorted it, and cropped it to the area in the doorway. I took it to Kinko’s where they printed it onto vinyl, and grommeted the top with a kit that [info]matrushkaka bought me. The result: The Work Blind. Think of it as the modern version of Jughead drawing eyes on his eyelids so that everyone thinks he’s awake and paying attention all day, or Wile E. Coyote painting a tunnel entrance on the side of a cliff.

Here’s an image of it in action

Now, I don’t really work in a cubeicle, so this wouldn’t really work for my environment, but there are lots of applications for this. Fat people on a diet can put a picture of themselves sitting in their room doing nothing, but really they are downing a whole box of Ding-Dongs. You could…ok, helping the fat guy get fatter is the only application I could think of right now, but I’m sure there are more.

I want you to stop what your doing, click on the link below for this video, and then watch every last second of it. Then bend over and pick up your socks that were just rocked off of you. (If you are wearing sandals I suggest putting on socks first before viewing this movie or the skin on your feet might come off or something. I’m not 100% sure, but you can never be too safe.)

I saw a show about this kind of thing on Discover Channel once, but this guy does more flips I think, and we all know the relation to something being cool and the number of flips you do are very closely tide together.
