best of craigslist : Nemesis required. 6-month project with possibilty to extend
I’ve been trying to think of ways to spice up my life. I’m 35 years old, happily married with two kids and I have a good job in insurance. But somethings missing. I feel like I’m old before my time. I need to inject some excitement into my daily routine through my arm before its too late. I need a challenge, something to get the adrenaline pumping again. An addiction would be nice, but, in short, I need a nemesis. I’m willing to pay $350 up front for you services as an arch enemy over the next six months. Nothing crazy. Steal my parking space, knock my coffee over, trip me when Im running to catch the BART and occasionaly whisper in my ear, “Ahha, we meet again”. That kind of thing. Just keep me on my toes. Complacency will be the death of me. You need to have an evil streak and be blessed with innate guile and cunning. You should also be adept at inconsicuous pursuit. Evil laugh preferred. Send me a photo and a brief explanation why you would be a good nemesis.
British accent preferred.

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test … do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
This is a bit old so you may have seen it before. I’ve been staring at my screen for the past 5 min trying to make sense of this. Some people say that they can make the dancer spin in both directions, but she only goes clockwise for me. I can’t make her switch, and it’s beginning to bother me! My brother on the other hand, can make her switch directions just by thinking about it. According to this test, I’m predominantly using my right brain.
This of course isn’t very scientific, I’m just posting it for fun.
A True Story: Walmart Cake
May 20, 2008
A friend of mine sent this to me:
Okay so this is how I imagine this conversation went:
Walmart Employee: “Hello ‘dis be Walmarts, how can I help you?”
Customer: ” I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week.”
Walmart Employee: “What you want on the cake?”
Customer: “Best Wishes Suzanne” and underneath that “We will miss you”.
This one actually made me LOL.
Dog receives degree from Ohio Northern University

13abc.com: Dog receives degree from Ohio Northern University 5/18/08
Ada, Ohio (AP) – A well-trained golden retriever will receive a bachelor’s degree from Ohio Northern University today along with the rest of the graduating class.
Zeeke, a 1-year-old dog, will earn his bachelor’s of science degree in canine companionship. The canine has spent thousands of hours training as a Canine Companion dog as part of a senior’s honors project.
ONU President Kendall Baker said he believes this is the first time the university has ever awarded a diploma to an animal.
Seriously?! A great way to dilute the value of the BSc… (and lose all credibility as a university)
Pandas Sensed China Quake Coming?
In the minutes before a massive earthquake shook central China on Monday, captive pandas near the epicenter began acting strangely, according to an eyewitness account released today. (Watch video.)
The observation, made by a British tourist who had been watching the pandas at the famous Wolong National Nature Reserve near Chengdu, mirrors previous accounts of animals “sensing” disasters before they occur.
Diane Etkins told the Associated Press that the pandas “had been really lazy and just eaten a little bit of bamboo, and all of a sudden they were parading around their pen.
“Looking back they must have sensed something was wrong.”
What’s even more interesting are these Earthquake lights spotted in the sky just before the big earthquake. Here’s a YouTube video of it. How weird is that?
ESPN – He’s blind and 78, but this bowler still sees a perfect 300 – ESPN
As he held his 16-pound bowling ball in his hands and looked down the lane toward the pins standing before him, 78-year-old Dale Davis saw only a blur.
He couldn’t see the lane. He couldn’t see the pins. He couldn’t see the people who had gathered behind him to see whether the blind man could accomplish something no one else at this alley ever had.

Berlin street performer Johan Lorbeer has an unusual approach to street performance. Just by “hanging out” on the side of a building, thousands of locals and tourists marvel as they walk by. He calls the performance “Still Life.”
Very cool.

Argentina’s most valuable export
May 12, 2008
Taking the Piss | ThroughTheTube.com
In homes, apartments, and shanties throughout Buenos Aires, thousands of graying women joyfully pee into plastic containers at all hours of the day.
It isn’t exactly the picture postcard image that Argentina’s Secretariat of Tourism wants spread around the globe.
Gauchos, mountain peaks, tango, Patagonia, steak – now that’s the stuff of travel brochures.
Yet at any given moment, there are thousands more 65-year-old matrons holding a piece of Tupperware between sagging thighs – silently praying that their hand is steady and aim direct – than tight-assed 20-year-olds twirling the Tango.Properly aged piss, it turns out, is one of Argentina’s least-known but most-valued exports.
The liquid gold from the ripe bladders of postmenopausal women has been helping “float” the Argentine economy by tens of millions of dollars a year for the last decade. Somewhere deep within the pungent molecules of senescent whiz – we’re clearly running out of original ways to say pee – is a high-value hormone used to combat infertility in younger women with ripe, but unwilling eggs.
Man Jailed After Daughter Fails To Get GED

Man Jailed After Daughter Fails To Get GED
A Fairfield man is in jail because his daughter hasn’t gotten her General Equivalency Diploma (GED).
A judge ordered the father to stay on top of his daughter’s education months ago and when that order wasn’t followed, Brian Gegner was sentenced to 180-days in the Butler County jail.
The daughter, Brittany Gegner, says her father shouldn’t be punished for her problems.
Especially, she says because she’s now 18, an adult.
This makes absolutely no sense. Why anyone should go to jail for not completing the GED is beyond me, let alone the dad.
The woman who can remember everything

The woman who can remember everything – Telegraph
A woman who has baffled doctors with her ability to remember every detail of every day has broken her anonymity to speak of her condition.
Jill Price, 42, can remember every part of her life since she was 14 but considers her ability a curse as she cannot switch off.
She described her life as like a split-screen television, with one side showing what she is doing in the present, and the other showing the memories which she cannot hold back.
Every detail about every day since 1980 – what time she got up, who she met, what she did, even what she ate – is locked in her brain and can be released to come flooding back by common triggers like songs, smells or place names.
