Today I got this very cryptic email sent from my contact form. I have no idea what this person was trying to ask me.

Most informative email ever - NOT

Via Clients From Hell:

Can you re-upload the photos on my site? I think they are fading from so many people clicking on them.

Clients From Hell is becoming my favorite blog. Almost everything I read there makes me go “WTF?”.

I think I’ll do this the next time I have to write a letter to someone I don’t like:

This spam subject gave me a good laugh.

IMPORTANT MASSAGE

Best quote ever.

Transcript:

You know it’s real. You can see it, and you can feel it. This change, my friends, is being delivered in a teabag. And that’s a wonderful thing.

This jar of cashews actually has a warning label that says it contains cashews. I’d be concerned if it didn’t contain cashews.

Warning: contains cashew

This was one of those awesome moments when an internet meme and the real world come crashing together.

This has to be the best thread ever in Apple’s support discussions. “Susan” writes:

Please help! I took my husband’s i-phone and found a raunchy picture of him attached to an e-mail to a woman in his sent e-mail file (a Yahoo account). When I approached him about this (I think that he is cheating on me) he admitted that he took the picture but says that he never sent it to anyone. He claims that he went to the Genius Bar at the local Apple store and they told him that it is an i-phone glitch: that photos sometimes automatically attach themselves to an e-mail address and appear in the sent folder, even though no e-mail was ever sent. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? The future of my marriage depends on this answer!

Hilarity ensues, including two posts by her husband under fake names.

The latest meme seems to be pandas vomiting rainbows, first seen at Flickr’s explore page.

Thanks to Google’s 2001 search index, I was able to find my original weblog and worldbeatplanet.

In 2001 I was using Radio Userland for my blog, which I hosted at editthispage.com.

WorldBeatPlanet was a static page, long before I switched first to PHPNuke and finally to Drupal.

MoreCowbell.dj (via metafilter) is lots of fun. Upload a MP3 and it will add cowbell & random Christopher Walken clips. Here’s one I made:

I really love this video. You may recall the song from an iPod commercial.

The AP made an unintentionally funny spelling error when they posted this article, describing Lieberman as the Democratic “vice presidential prick”. Hopefully they won’t fix it, but here’s a screenshot just in case.

I get a lot of these spams, but I found this one particularly amusing because of the name he used.

Mission Bay Community Church is providing a Jeses Mii for anyone who brings a Wii or Wii remote.

This Easter Sunday, we will provide anyone who attends church with a Jesus Mii for their Nintendo Wii console. Just bring your Wii Remote or Wii and we’ll transfer a Jesus Mii to your system.

Then you, too, can box with Jesus, golf with Him, or even bowl with Him! A night bowling with Jesus? What could be better? Especially if you get that turkey and best Him by 100 points! Don’t worry;—He’ll forgive you.

“Of course any comparisons between Fidel Castro and RMS are absurd. One’s a bearded, long-winded Communist dictator who tolerates no dissent; the other one speaks Spanish.” — Anonymous Coward, in response to Richard Stallman stepping down as Emacs maintainer

I found this on Flickr a few days ago.

Make your own CD Cover with the following steps and rocket yourself to mulit-platinum status and start fending off the groupies!

  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
    The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

  2. www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
    The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

  3. www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
    The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover (make sure the picture is CC licensed).
