Random stupid things on your mind. Post them.

This will give you goosebumps (assuming you're not just a real killjoy). Egyptian statue appears to turn in time-lapse security cam: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/weirdnewsvideo/10137556/Mystery-as-museum-statue-starts-turning-in-display-case.html The explanation is rational enough, and it's not hoax. I do like the little frisson it causes though.

I saw this yesterday and it made my skin crawl lol.  The time lapse video is just plain freaky.

Reminds me of this mystery, although it doesn't move as fast as the Egyptian statue.

Morning after Blackhawks win, 25% of Chicago work force calls in "sick": http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2013/06/25/blackhawks-win-can-be-a-hangover-for-business/

Wouldn't this be a pretty good place for Edmund Gibbon's observation about the direct relationship between the degree of corruption and debauchery of ancient Rome, the demand of the masses for bread and circuses, and the ruling class's willingness to placate them by the increased giving of such distractions?

about the statue:its only moving during the day when people are walking around the place and im sure things are vibrating.  differential friction sounds like it makes sense although it's not really explained in that article.

I noticed that too. But wouldn't it be so much more satisfyingly creepy if it moved at night?

You have all been deceived. That statue is the only thing not moving. The whole building and all its parts are moving and the pivot point is that statue... god you guys miss everything.

Congrats to Chi-town and Clark W. Griswold's favorite team.

You know, I think there was more absenteeism the day after the Steelers lost the Super Bowl than after any of their wins. Odd city, this...

[Sardondi]

           Aaron Hernandez signed by the Raiders yet?

No, they see him as too much of a goodie two-shoes. A single murder? Pffft. Don't come 'round no Raiders with that weak-ass shit.

Speaking of Hernandez, I think the US at large is about to get a huge schooling in how our own oh-so-cool digital devices are nothing more than the police state's little snitches. It also sounds like there is an embarrassingly large amount of evidence showing Hernandez killed his "fiancee's" sister's BF. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/pats-player-hernandez-taken-home-handcuffs

It seems Hernandez and Odin Lloyd were going to strip clubs (give me that 'fiancee' business again, okay?) and got into an argument, after which Hernandez killed him. Lloyd apparently even smelled trouble, since not long before he was killed, he texted his sister to leave a message that he was with "NFL". Lloyd added, chillingly, "Just so you know." Sounds like a man who wanted to leave a trail of breadcrumbs before he went into the deep, dark forest.

Info is still sketchy and new, but already we can tell that police used Hernandez's phone, computer and even his own home security system (they've got his own security system's surveillance tape of him leaving his house, at just the right time, with a gun) to tie him up in what looks to be bound-for-pound-me-in-the-ass-prison knots. Cells calls and locations, texts, security system entries and tapes, emails. All that's missing is your own car giving you up about where you drove it. Wait. Don't cars with OnStar do just that? And soon aren't all cars going to be able to located regardless of whether the owner has an OnStar satellite locator system?

Oh yeah. I predict there will soon be a new career opportunity for tech geeks: counter-security consultant for professional athletes. If a player is gonna be a playa, he needs to assume there's a big target on his back. And I bet the Hernandez case will bring home to these guys that their toys are nothing more than having da bitches miniature lawyer living in his hip pocket, trailing him, watching his every move. They need help with this. I'll give them their first tip for free: PUSH-TO-TALK. Okay, here's another: prepaid cells.

According to what WBZ reported from today's hearing, the cops were able to trace Hernandez's locations on "the night in question" by tracing his cell phone tower records.  I don't know exactly what the technical terms are, but the fact that his cell phone "logs on" to a cell tower as it passes within the zone.

Yes, kiddies, we are now all carrying our own tracking device.  We've chipped ourselves.

It's classic "triangulation". It's like how they did it in the movies when the Germans were trying to locate the radios used by the French Resistance. They'd send out multiple radio trucks, which got a directional beam on the radio, and, using the trucks' known location and compass bearing of radio signal, they'd draw lines on a map to see where they intersected.

With cell phones, each cell tower has three sides, A,B and C. Every cell call from an area with reasonable service shows up as being made from a location which reads like this: "A side of Tower 156; C side of Tower 178; B side of Tower 167." You draw lines from those and see where they intersect and, voila, you get a location. Most calls can be determined down to what block, some can even be located by building address.

You're a real piece of work.  Show off, very sad attention seeking asshole.

I miss the raw energy posters such as this one put into the forum.  This was actually a PM from Lilly to me.  I look at it once and a while when I feel like I need to be taken down a notch or two.

Obama beat them to it.  Hernandez now has a cushy job directing the US domestic Drone program.

I love mysteries like this one.

Not only are you chipping yourself with your cell phones but you are holding a miniature microwave oven next to your head. Not so Smart phone.

Exploding Actresses 03 - Disney Princesses

Okay, so that was curious...  It seems like a fair bit of work (and potential copyright infringement grief) to produce such material.  I find a lot of the Disney princesses to be pretty insipid, sure, but I think I might prefer that the Ken-doll-like escorts (Prince Charming and co.) get exploded.

Let's get the hidden translation cam in on this:
"My shoulders are big enough to sling a football pro style. But my wrists is so stiff and non-limp, I can't flip a frisbee for diddly. Damn, sometimes being so incredibly hetero is such a drawback to life."
