Jon's Short List - Homemade Robots

So this 49 year old guy in China makes his own robots out of scrap metal at his farm. Apparently he has spent a boatload of money on it since starting making them in 1986. He also almost burnt down his house and almost got divorced for spending all his money on robots (or maybe because his wife finally saw Terminator).

Jon's Short List - The Quintessential Security Check?

SO - posting images and videos and junk on Facebook or wherever nowadays you have to type these security checks. I'm going to try and remember to make note of the real bad ones where you can't even read it... BUT this one I came across was silly because usually you have to type maybe 5 letter or so words, but you want me to type in tickled quintessential? Really?

Jon's Short List - Political Fingers

I just came across these today again and I got a chuckle out of them. I'm not very political, so I put one up for each party.
(I also love that we call them parties! As far as I can tell they're all lame as hell.)

Getting Drunk At Work: No Longer Allowed??

So this is something that will piss you off:

For years, workers at Carlsberg Brewery (the no.4 brewery in the world) have been able to drink all day at work. SUDDENLY, the brewery seems to think that they should only be drinking at lunch and removed all the beer from fridges and stuff around the workplace!

WHO THE HELL DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE TRYING TO TELL ME WHEN I CAN AND CANNOT GET DRUNK AT WORK??

Jon's Short List - Aliens Living Among Us?!?

April Fools Prizes & Fun

Now, I don’t expect that anyone besides the 3 people who have access to this blog actually read it. Heaven’s no. But, in the off chance that a stray electron on the internet accidentally sends you here, let me tell you what we’re giving away tonight. And what buffoonery you might expect.

First off: TWO (2) pair of 2-day passes (That’s 8 days of passes! Sort of!) to workshops at the Cosmic Connections Convention courtesy of the National Enquirer columnist & astrologist Maria Shaw. That’s April 9th through the 11th. But you already knew that. because you’re psychic... or are you?

Secondly, I for one, plan on giving you false news and information tonight, because it’s April Fools, but also because I’m a pathological liar... or am I?
