I already knew this one … 
To paraphrase Mel Brooks’ Blazing Saddles movie, Shoes that vacuum while you work around the house
They're one giant leap for man and womankind on the domestic front – shoes with a built-in vacuum cleaner that suck up dust as you walk.
Designers at Electrolux believe the footwear, called the Dustmate, will allow busy people – especially young professionals – to do their chores without having to drop everything.
Research shows the average householder spends almost 90 hours every year vacuuming the house.
But Electrolux says the Dustmate could turn cleaning into an 'unconscious byproduct of everyday life'.
The greencolored shoes have two parts – a rechargeable base that contains the vacuum motor and an elastic sock which holds the user's foot in place.
Viagra for Windows - The little blue disk
There's nothing more embarrassing than having your computer go down just when you're ready for a big demo, yet it happens all the time. The fact is that an ever-increasing number of computer users suffer from Operating System Dysfunction (OSD). Studies have shown that OSD is the number one cause of dented computer cases and defenestrated monitors, and more cases of OSD are being diagnosed all the time.
Most OSD sufferers never admit to their condition in public for fear of ridicule and because they simply assume it's an untreatable condition and that they have no choice but to live with it.
But if you suffer from OSD, your condition may soon be a thing of the past: just one little blue disk and you'll have an operating system that's as stable as a rock and ready to run all night long!
Windows Viagra is not for everyone--for example, if you don't have a computer, Viagra for Windows may not be able to help you--but it has been clinically proven to help the majority of computer users who suffer from occasional or chronic OSD. In many cases, even computers that are no longer able to run the current version of Windows at all will respond to treatment with Windows Viagra and come right up!
Whether you need to get the maximum performance from your gaming or video rendering system or you just want to play with your joystick all night long
Windows Viagra will keep your computer up and running!

Vaginal bear trap will snag a rapist
The anti-rape female condom (aka vaginal bear trap) was invented by Sonette Ehlers, a South African woman. It is intended to prevent rape by hooking onto an attacker's penis, hurting and disabling him.
The device is a latex tube fitted internally with shafts of sharp, inward-facing plastic barbs that could be worn by a woman in her vagina, similar to a tampon. Should an attacker attempt vaginal rape, the penis would be hooked by the barbs, causing the attacker pain and giving the victim time to escape. The condom would remain attached to the attacker's penis and, according to the device's creator, could be removed only surgically, which would alert hospital staff and police that an attempted rape could have taken place.
What do you know in your 50's that you wish you'd known in your 20's?
Being in my 50’s I can relate to this question.
Here are some things the author now knows that he wished he’d known then:
- Accept gracefully what you cannot change. As you age, you will steadily gain wisdom. Unfortunately, it goes right to your prostate gland. This explains why, as a young man, your prostate is the size of a walnut, but as you get older it is the size of a Wal-Mart. The good news is that there are drugs to at least partially control this. The bad news is that these drugs have side effects that can include -- this is the truth; I am reading it right from the package insert -- "breast enlargement."
- For the rest of your life, you will remain locked into whatever music you currently listen to. Trust me, it happens to everyone. It happened to me. Given the quality of popular music of the 1960s, I am fine. Given the quality of popular music of the 2000s, you are toast. Suggestion: Get a job as a jackhammer operator, wear no ear protection, go deaf. At least your taste in music won't make you a source of contemptuous merriment to your children, the way my parents were to me.
- Cleanse your language of certain callow affectations common to your generation, for they will not serve you well later in life. I, for example, employed the word "groovy" well into my twenties, until I once used it as a panelist on a TV political talk show, while discussing the sociopolitical ramifications of a gubernatorial veto. The studio audience actually laughed. In your case, when being interviewed about your nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, you do not want to say, "I was, like, 'No way,' and the president goes, 'For realz, yo,' and . . ."
- The index of male physical pleasure can be plotted by two lines on a chart. One of these lines, which begins very high in one's younger years, represents the pleasures of the bedroom. The other, which begins quite low, represents the pleasures of the bathroom. I am assured by men older than I that these lines eventually intersect. I do not want to presume to tell you how to prepare for this moment, but I will share my plan, if it will be of help. When those two lines intersect, I will commit hari-kari. I will aim for my stomach, but will probably hit my prostate.
- Practice preemptive temperance. You know how you can get completely wasted one night, and the next morning you're okay? Well, one day, that won't be true anymore. And I mean "one day." This change will occur, literally, overnight, and you will discover it too late, as I did, when I arrived for work unshaven, with mismatched shoes, on a Saturday.

36. The day will come when you will have to single-handedly face death, and there isn’t a person alive who can tell you what will happen next.
37. Hemingway shot himself after being sober for two months.
38. When your coworkers ask “What did you get up to last night?” you can smile all cool like and say “Maaaaaan, you don’t wanna know,” instead of chirping “I alphabetized my DVD collection and found out I have two copies of The Truth About Cats and Dogs! Two!”
39. Remember your childhood dream of meeting a brewery heiress and jet-setting around the world on her dime? You think that’s going to happen while sitting in your goddamn apartment watching Captain Picard surrender the Enterprise for the tenth straight episode?
40. It’s so much easier to ring up those old flames and explain exactly where they went wrong.
Help! I'm an idiot
Revealed: The UK's stupidest call centre customers
A HILARIOUS collection of the stupidest customers to ring UK call centres has become a cult hit. Many callers were recorded as they went through some of the silliest inquiries ever received by exasperated operators. They include a dimwit who rang the RAC to ask if he needed to move the steering wheel to the left side of his car to drive in France.
And a baffled computer user who, when Tech Support asked: "Can you see the OK button in the left hand bottom of the screen?", replied: "Wow. How can you see my screen from there?"
The loony exchanges are rapidly flying around the web in a chain email. Here are some of the best...
Customer: I've been ringing 0700 2300 for two days and can't get through to enquiries, can you help?
Operator: Where did you get that number from, sir?
Customer: It was on the door to the travel centre.
Operator: They're our opening hours.Caller: Can you give me the telephone number for Jack?
Operator: I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand who you are talking about.
Caller: In the user guide it clearly states I need to unplug the fax machine from the wall socket and telephone Jack before cleaning. Can you give me his number?
Operator: I think you mean the telephone point on the wall.Caller: Does your European Breakdown Policy cover me when I am travelling in Australia?
Operator: Doesn't the name of the product give you a clue?Caller: If I register my car in France, do I have to change the steering wheel to the other side of the car?
Caller: I"d like the number of the Argoed Fish Bar in Cardiff please.
Operator: I'm sorry, there's no listing.
Is the spelling correct?
Caller: Well, it used to be called the Bargoed Fish Bar but the 'B fell off.Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven.
Operator: Woven? Are you sure?
Caller: Yes. That''s what it says on the label: Woven in Scotland.On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone box told a worried operator: I haven't got a pen, so I"m steaming up the window to write the number on.
Tech Support: I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop.
Customer: OK.
Tech Support: Did you get a pop-up menu?"
Customer: No.
Tech Support:OK. Right-Click again.
Do you see a pop-up menu?
Customer: No.
Tech Support: OK. Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?
Customer: Sure. You told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click'.Tech Support: OK. In the bottom left hand side of the screen, can you see the 'OK' button displayed?
Customer: Wow. How can you see my screen from there?
Florida is just plain weird
Here are a few of the strange things that happen3ed there in 2006:
- Two Escambia County middle school teachers faced felony charges after being accused of taking bribes from students to let them skip gym class. The amount per class? $1.
- The Easter Bunny was fired after he punched a Fort Myers mall customer who was upset that photo ops with the giant costumed rabbit were closing 10 minutes early.
- A man driving in Naples with a pet snake wrapped around his neck crashed his car when the reptile began attacking him. He got out of his car, wrestled with the snake and then drove off, reports said.
- A 74-year-old Punta Gorda woman did a better job of fighting off an alligator. She was bit on the ankle by a 5-footer, but she beat it back with a hose.
"I just whacked him right in the snout with the nozzle," the woman said. "After that, he took off." She finished her gardening before seeking treatment for the wound. - A man doubted whether the crack cocaine he bought was real, so he asked two uniformed Tampa police officers to verify. They did. It was. He was arrested.
- An Orange County sheriff's deputy was in uniform and sitting in his marked patrol car when a man walked up to him an asked if he wanted to buy some cocaine. The deputy said yes, the man pulled out a bag with cocaine and the officer arrested him.
- A 15-year-old boy stole a transit bus in Orlando and drove it about 12 miles, picking up passengers, collecting fares, driving the speed limit and making all the right stops before police arrested him.

Fart Fight
Flatulence Allegedly Sparks Jail Brawl
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. —
Bruggeman, of Hershey, is serving a 90-day sentence for violating a protection order.
Brian Bruggeman caused a stink at the Lincoln County Jail earlier this month and will now have to answer for it in court. Another inmate, Jesse Dorris, alleges that Bruggeman's flatulence, passed in close proximity to Dorris, sparked a Dec. 14 fight between the two at the jail.
Now Bruggeman, 38, faces a Jan. 11 preliminary hearing on the state's complaint of assault by a confined person. It's a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
Bruggeman is accused of injuring Dorris, his cellmate, when he pushed him into cell bars. Dorris, 26, was not charged.
The two began scuffling, County Attorney Jeff Meyer said Tuesday, because Dorris was fed up with Bruggeman's flatulence.
Jail fights are common, Meyer said, but the cause of this one was rather uncommon.
"It's usually about someone hogging the newspaper or someone not happy about what's on TV," he said.

It says the story is not for the squeamish, but it’s not that bad.
The REAL way men think
- If you think you are fat, you probably are. Do not ask us.
- Learn to work the toilet seat. If it’s up, Put it down.
- Do not cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, by then, you are stuck with her.
- If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you do not want to hear.
- Sometimes, we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
- Do not ask us what we are thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as; navel lint, the shotgun formation or monster trucks.
- Sunday = sports. It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
- Shopping is not a sport, and no, we are never going to think of it that way.
- When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.
- You have enough clothes.
- have too many shoes.
- Crying is blackmail.
- Your ex-boyfriend is an idiot.
- Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work. Strong hints do not work. Obvious hints do not work. Just say it!
- No, we do not know what day it is. We never will. Mark anniversaries on a calendar.
- Yes, peeing standing up is more difficult. We are bound to miss sometimes.
- Most guys own three pairs of shoes. What makes you think we’d be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?
- Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
- Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That is what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
- Foreign films are best left to foreigners.
- Do not fake it. We would rather be ineffective than deceived.
- It is neither in your best interest nor ours to take any relationship quizzes together.
- Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. All comments become null and void after 3 days (the next day if we were drunk).

Pick fruit off floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers pry it loose with a sdrewscriver. Sample the vodka to check for tonsisticity.
Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Who giveshz a shit. Check the vodka.
Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.
Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.
Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the vodka and kick the cat. Fall into bed.
You Don't Know Jack
You Don't Know Jack is a great game that I’d forgotten about. It’s played on your computer. I have several versions of the game I bought on CD’s several years ago. Now they have an online version with a new game every day (I think). The graphics are great, there is quite a bit of humor in there, though it is generally aimed at adult audiences.
Company logos and their meaning
You might think the arrow does nothing here. But it says that amazon.com has everything from a to z and it also represents the smile brought to the customer's face. Wow, that is quite deep.
Am not sure how many of you have noticed a hidden symbol in the Federal Express logo. Yeah, I am talking about the 'arrow' that you can see between the E and the x in this logo. The arrow was introduced to underscore speed and precision, which are part of the positioning of the company.
The above are two magazines from the Readers Digest stable. Again, the attempt to communicate what it is about quite figuratively through the logo catches my attention.
There are a few more examples here.
