Interesting and silly uses for an iPod

50 Fun Things To Do With Your iPod (kottke.org)


I just got one of these sexy 20 GB beasts, and filled it up same day, and it rocks. The only thing is that it's an older 2nd generation model and lacks a little functionality that the newer ones have, still this list gives you a good idea o what I'm missing out on, plus a few silly ideas should I get bored with the sexy silvery white box.

Compact Car For Teachers Launched In Brazil

englishdroid.com : new Celta launched


In a revolutionary partnership, GM do Brasil and the University of Cambridgehave launched a new product: the Chevrolet Celta.

Exclaimeth English Droid, in what I thought to be the standard TEFL japing hilarity we've come to expect from Mr Barne's site.

But no! Shockingly Chevrolet has in fact launched a new compact car called the CELTA, which is now available in Brazil.

Truly THE car for TEFLers....though I think the Cambridge logo (or partnership) might not come as standard, and I gather that much of the English teaching features are a figment of Simon's very fertile imagination, but still it brings new meaning to owning a CELTA

Loony Xian Propaganda T-shirts

Habu The Polytheistic Elephant

Well, imagine you're off to heathen lands like Thailand, and you're looking to convert those heretics to the word of Jeeeeezuzzz.

Well here's just the tool to convice the savages how wrong their ancient traditions are.

Just wear this t-shirt and all the backward jungle bunnies will come flocking to Christ.

See also Mr Gruff - The Aetheist Coffee Drinking Goat, and Mad Prof. Giraffenstein, who thinks evolution is a right load of bollocks.

More Mango Sauce

Mango Sauce is back from it's hiatus. We'r enot sure why he left actually as he was just getting into the big time with citations in the Bangkok Post.

His current postings are a bit more sparse than before and his comment forum has been disabled, but three cheers for the semi-return of Bangkok's naughtiest and funniest blog.

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Perspective

Prequel Generation Questions A New Hope

Whgat happenes when a Starwars prequel mad kid who hasn't seen the classic trilogy watches them all in order.

Lots of interesting questions which show just how many huge holes George Lucas left in there.

- in Ben's hut: "Where is Qui-Gon? I thought Obi-Wan was supposed to be training with him?"

- as C-3PO throws a Jawa body on the pile... "Do you think that R2-D2 started that fire with his jet rockets?"

- "How can the Emperor dissolve the Senate? Didn't he destroy it trying to kill Yoda?"

- "Is Chewbacca the only Wookiee that survives the Clone Wars?" (with great concern)

- "Why don't those ships need Hyperspace rings?"
