Farkin' Links Vol. 149 9/20

I don't really have any good stories for today; I did end up doing a signing in the hood last night but it was relatively uninteresting. No shootings, stabbings, muggings and only several sirens over the course of an hour; not too terrible for the area. Of course, one way to know you're in a bad neighborhood is if you're in a fast food restaurant and the server is behind bulletproof glass like she's working a bank. It's probably not a good idea to go for an evening walk. I can't wait until winter when I'll get to drive through these areas in darkness...that'll be tons of fun. Monica asked that I give her the links to my two vacation albums from my trip to Cambodia and Vietnam, so I figured I'd just do it here. I'm lazy like that...enjoy the links.

Mon, here's Cambodia and here's Vietnam.

The best part about this video...well, besides the two women making out, is how this guy answers the question the girl asks.

Wow...I hope drugs were involved in the decision to fight with these stupid rules. Ads not safe for work.

This is an interesting science project...what is it about condoms that people are so fascinated by?

They say Tyra Banks is crazy...but it sounds to me like it's a good kind of crazy.

...and on that subject, here's a helpful article on how to detect fake breasts. All I have to ask is...who cares?

This is a pretty neat find...I wonder if they were land pirates?

Zee Germans don't allow smiling on their passport pictures anymore. I'm surprised it had to be voiced; I never saw a smile on a local the whole time I was in Germany.

Holy aqueducts, Batman! You really CAN find anything on Google!

This seems like a lot of money to spend on getting yourself killed, but hey, it's a free country.

I'll try and remember this the next time I drop a can of soda instead of handing it off to an unsuspecting friend.

Here's a simple fighting game to kill time with...

Yikes! The spirit of Lorena Bobbitt lives on.

Whoops...maybe this guy needs some new tires...and a new body, most likely. With today's technology, I'm sure they can build him better...stronger...faster...

I wonder if this works? If it does, I'm having a coke tonight.

...and if you're stupid enough to go skydiving, you might wanna look this site over. It tells you how you might survive a parachute malfunction...so you can be a happy cripple, I suppose.
