Pimp My Snack. Quite possibly the greatest site ever created, it’s good to know that giant Jaffa Cakes, Creme Eggs and Kit-Kats are within reach of us mere mortals.

Possible surprise endings to Snakes on a Plane. “Knowing he would rather die than risk bringing this monster to the mainland, he decides to crash the plane into an offshore nitroglycerin plant.” [via]

409, thats how many Major League players will earn $1M or more this year. Three Yankees top the list as Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and Jason Giambi all earn over $20M. Top Braves earner is Mike Hampton with a cool $14.5M, and he’ll earn that by sitting out the whole season due to Tommy John surgery.

Apple releases Boot Camp that allows Intel Macs to install Windows. Have I entered bizarro world? Seriously? This only makes the purchase of an Intel Mac Mini or MacBook even more desirable…

It’s CSS Naked Day. The idea behind this event is to promote Web Standards. Plain and simple. This includes proper use of (x)html, semantic markup, a good hierarchy structure, the last of which I don’t really do…

Clerks 2 Trailer. A return to the counter culture… Shit’s on, August 18th.

Just a month after easily winning a contested primary for his House seat in suburban Houston, embattled Rep. Tom DeLay has decided to drop out of his re-election race and plans to resign from Congress by the end of May. That’s nice of him, he won the primaries and then takes the cowards way out by changing his legal residence from Texas to Virginia rendering him illegible to run for election in Texas… He must be in some shit with the prosecuters for this to happen. It also saves Bush giving him a pardon, could it easily be the best news since Scooter Libby’s indictment?

The Simpsons Movie Teaser Trailer. July 27th 2007… Hmmm, I’m very unsure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, how can they work a 90 (maybe longer) minute long movie if they struggle to make 22 minutes watchable nowadays? [via]

A list of April Fools hoaxes from Wikipedia. How many did you fall for?

Americans increasing acceptance of religious diversity doesn’t extend to those who don’t believe in a god, according to a national survey by researchers in the University of Minnesota’s department of sociology. University researchers found that Americans rate atheists below Muslims, recent immigrants, gays and lesbians and other minority groups in “sharing their vision of American society.” Freedom of religion… But not freedom from religion.

The final minutes of Battlestar Galactica’s season finale. Sci-Fi do the right thing after TiVo’s accidentally cut off the last few minutes of the season… Season 3 looks like it’s gonna rock. [via]

Snakes on a Plane Trailer. Yes! Fuck Yes! I can’t wait… This will be either the best or worst movie of all time…

A perfect pint of Guiness at home. Everytime. It uses some weird voodoo to make this happen (ok, ultrasonic sound) but doesn’t it look impressive? [via]

The Senate approved a $781 billion increase in US borrowing authority Thursday aimed at averting a possible government default on debt this month. For those keeping score, the deficit is now an astoundingly stupifying $8.965 trillion. Didn’t Bill Clinton leave the country with a budget surplus of over $200 billion?

Brokeback Mountain author Annie Proulx lays down a rant and a half against The Oscars. In a nutshell, she basically calls the 6,000 voting members of The Academy white rich secular retards involved with Scientology, then questions why they didn’t heap praise and throw awards at “her” movie… Sour grapes indeed.
