Bada Bing!
I’m going to make Bing.com my home page for a month and see how that goes. I’m tired of looking at the plain screen of Google and Bing has some nice photos it shows every day.
I’m not sure how well the search results will be but I’ve heard good things about them so I’ll give it a fair shot.
If you think you’ll be stranded on a deserted island sometime in the future, you’ll want to definitely take a read through this article by Cecil on The Straight Dope. It’s funny, interesting and might actually be useful someday.

I found this on an old blog of mine and it’s kinda funny so I’m reposting:
This is so priceless – and so easy to see happening, with customer service being what it is today.
A lady died this past January. Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and then added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00, now is somewhere around $60.00. A family member placed a call to Citibank:
Family Member: “I am calling to tell you that she died in January.”
Citibank: “The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.”
Family Member: “Maybe, you should turn it over to collections.”
Citibank: “Since it is two months past due, it already has been.”
Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?”
Citibank: “Either report her account to the frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!”
Family Member: “Do you think God will be mad at her?”
Citibank: “Excuse me?”
Family Member: “Did you just get what I was telling you – the part about her being dead?”
Citibank: “Sir, you’ll have to speak to my supervisor.”
Supervisor gets on the phone.
Family Member: “I’m calling to tell you she died in January.”
Citibank Supervisor: “The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.”
Family Member: “You mean you want to collect from her estate?”
Citibank Supervisor: (Stammer) “Are you her lawyer?”
Family Member: “No, I’m her great nephew.” (Lawyer info given to the Supervisor).
Citibank Supervisor: “Could you fax us a certificate of death?”
Family Member: “Sure.” (fax number is given)
After they get the fax.
Citibank: “Our system just isn’t setup for death. I don’t know what more I can do to help.”
Family Member: “Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. I don’t think she will care.”
Citibank: “Well, the late fees and charges do still apply.”
Family Member: “Would you like her new billing address?”
Citibank: “That might help.”
Family Member: “Odessa Memorial Cemetery, Highway 129, Plot Number 69.”
Citibank: “Sir, that’s a cemetery!”
Family Member: “What do you do with dead people on your planet?”
I got this from blog.myspace.com/index….
Back in the days, soap companies like Procter and Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, & Lever Brothers sponsored and produced dramatic serials broadcasted on radio. These serials later became TV shows.

Bathrooms are not usually all that interesting… especially public bathrooms. However, this one is special. It’s borderline strange and definitely amazing!

A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have
dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the
girl announces to her boyfriend that after dinner, she would
like to go out and make love for the first time.
Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex before, so
he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some condoms. The
pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy
everything there is to know about condoms and sex.
At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms
he’d like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack, or family pack. The boy
insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather
busy, it being his first time and all.
That night, the boy shows up at the girl’s parents house and
meets his girlfriend at the door. “Oh, I’m so excited for you to
meet my parents, come on in!”
The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the
girl’s parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace
and bows his head.
A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer, with his
head down.
10 minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy.
Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend
leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, “I had no idea you
were this religious.”
The boy turns, and whispers back, “I had no idea your father was
a pharmacist.”
i was at borders… n while walking, I came across this book called “Why Do Men Have Nipples?”… it was weird enuff to catch my attention… the tagline read “hundreds of questions you’d only ask a doctor after your third martini”
i started flippin thru n found something i’d always been curious bout: “why are yawn’s contagious?” … n it got me thinkin… wat if other things wer contagious… like farting…
i have a very vivid imagination, so of course i started picturing a big lecture hall full of people… n one person farts softly… n den soon everyone starts farting randomly… wit their own way of farting… some squicky n long… some loud n bombastic… lol omg… so stupid yet so funny
i think i’ll have a scene like that in my movie…

TiP: Save yourself from lots of pain… in dating, relationships & dealing with people.
The Truth is in the Pudding (TiP) principle is bout making decisions based on the reality of the situation, without any fake-bullshit. It’s bout respecting yourself and realizing what you have to offer… and realizing that you deserve more.
In relationships and in life, we make lots of excuses for others. For example, if we get stood-up or if our calls don’t get returned, we create tons of excuses for him/her: Maybe something extremely important came up. Maybe they are sick. Maybe they got lost. Maybe they are just really, really busy. YESSS… that’s it… and maybe his/her part of the city got attacked by aliens too. Wake up and smell reality. They just didn’t find you important enough to… show-up, call, remember, whatever… regardless of whether they are suppose to be a friend, a business client, a date or whatever.
Guys, if you ask a woman out and she declines (without a truly genuine reason), realize that the reality of the situation is that you either didn’t approach her in a way that she would want to say yes or she just doesn’t dig you enough romantically, regardless of what she says or seems to show.
Ladies, if a guy doesn’t call you, realize that the reality of the situation is that he just doesn’t dig you romantically, regardless of what he says/said.
The TRUTH is IN the pudding…
Someone can say they love you but if they beat you, you gotta face reality. Someone can seem like they are a real friend, but if they disappear every time you need one, you gotta wake up to reality. Someone can say they have really, really missed you but you haven’t heard or seen them in a year even though they live 10 minutes away, you gotta face reality.
…and if you don’t?
When you don’t call them on it, it becomes the new ‘normal’, upsets the balance of respect and deteriorates the relationship.
Let say you ask out this girl you know. If she declines without a genuine reason and you continue to show her that like her and continue to ask her out… she’ll have complete control of what happens and when it happens. She’ll know this & you’ll know this. If someday she decides to LET you take her out, it’s on you to not screw up. You’re not going to be happy in that relationship. I’ve seen it tons of times. I’ve even experienced it once (you live and learn).
There are better ways of dealing with such situations.
What should you do?
Respect yourself. Know yourself and all that you have to offer… not just your superficial assets such as your car or your hot body… I’m talking bout everything you have to offer! Including your ability to care… your unique prospective on things… your willingness to do things that make no sense, just for them… your ability to make them laugh… etc, etc…
By respecting yourself, you realize you deserve more. You’ll realize you deserve to be friends with people who are there when they need something AND when YOU need something. You’ll realize that you deserve to be in a relationship with someone who’ll find time for YOU.
Respecting yourself is not being needy or egotistical. It’s setting high expectations of what is normal… because people perform up-to or down-to expectations.
TiP is a way of life that will save you a boat load of pain. If you feel you deserve better… let ‘em know.
Maybe they’ll walk away… or maybe they’ll realize whats up n treat you how you want to be treated… juz be ready to do the same…
What do you all think?
Disclaimer: Embrace TiP only when you are ready to respect yourself and are ready to live with the consequences of you’re decisions because you will probably end up loosing touch with some people and pissing off others.
