Technology + Freaks= Hilarity

So I was reading one of my favorite blogs, Gizmodo, when I came across this article entitled "Headset Hotties- The Blog". Apparently there's an entire website dedicated to ranking the relative hotness of the headset-adorned stock photo girls found in advertising. Yes, you read that right. Ranking the hotness of headset wearers.


Yes, people spend time doing this.
And I spend time making fun of the people who spend time doing this.


This got me thinking about what other bizarre or random stuff I could find on the internet today. Stuff like this is why I love the internet.

Strange Maps:

This blog targets odd maps of all kinds. Interesting for about 10 seconds, right? Wrong. What the simple name and blog description don't tell you is that the site is visited by a large population of oddballs. Oddballs who see maps in common items, like these:


The United States found in a piece of Naan. First call centers, and now this...

Star Trek fans are hooligans!
According to the ABC7 news in Denver, a man wearing a black mask held up two 7-11's at 2 AM...with a Klingon replica weapon! Yes! If you're going to be robbed, is there any better weapon to be used than a fictional race's two-handed axe-like thing?


"Give me your money...and three of those Zagnuts."

Crazy Airport Lady

There truly is nothing better than a crazy lady flipping out in an airport. I've been privileged enough to have seen several episodes firsthand and they are as amazing as you'd expect. Even better, crazies tend to love the inevitable attention that they receive during aforementioned flipouts.



In conclusion, I relish the ridiculous. I adore the absurd. I love the ludicrous. And I have a lot of free time on my hands.
