In another disgusting display of sexual profiling, a flamboyantly dressed Nurse Shark was assaulted last week by a couple of oppressive scuba-divers in Jupiter, Florida.

The divers identified the free-swimming creature by its neon-pink dress collar, and proceeded to jump the shark in an inhumane frenzy of shallow water judgment.

This single despicable act may have set gay shark rights back 100 years; not to mention a devastating blow to the already damaged public image of Nurse Sharks worldwide.

I can only hope we will one day accept Ginglyhomostoma cirratum as noble, respectable creatures.

This article breaks down what you can expect HTML 5 to do and not do. The primary changes look to be native support for rich media like audio and video and some logical division of document sections negating the need for extremely common div classes - ie footers.

It also looks like some style stuff like underlining will become the sole responsibility of CSS.

This is going to wreak havoc on SEO.

Scott Fujita, a Linebacker with the Super Bowl winning New Orleans Saints has signed as a free agent with the Cleveland Browns. Before leaving however, he donated half his Super Bowl earnings to charity. The gift was divided equally going to both Haiti relief efforts and New Orleans restoration projects.

It's nice to see that there are NFL players who make non-football news without shooting, robbing or raping someone.

Sacha Baron Cohen of Ali-G, Borat and Bruno fame scares the Oscars people so much that they'd prefer he just stay home. Apparently they rejected his bid to host early on and recently cut his presentation skit as well. He was going to be poking fun at James Cameron and Avatar by dressing up as the avatar girl and pretending Cameron was the father of her love child.

Whoever Oscar is, he clearly doesn't have a sense of humor.

If I were them, I'd now be extremely fearful that Cohen was gunning for me. I'd not want to be on that guys shitlist.

Publishers, guided by the attributor.com enforcement company will be starting some level of legal campaign against sites that pirate their media and violate their copyright. Essentially they don't want people taking the contents of entire news articles and putting them on other sites.

They are not seeking past damages. they just want infringing sites to either stop using the material, or pay licensing fees for it.

I'm curious if any of the publishers in the attributor coalition don't offer licensing fees, or if this is just a strong arm advertising campaign for publishers that do.

Either way, remember to be vigilant when writing article summaries to links that you don't accidentally copy it verbatim.

Cool article by Brandon Reinhart of Valve discussing the upcoming engineer update for Team Fortress 2. He goes into detail about a new item - The Repair Node - that was fully developed but ultimately canned due to it's impact on the overall game.

If you are into this kind of thing, this article gives some really cool insight on the game design behind Team Fortress 2 and how they come up with their weapon and map designs.

From the article: "This is usually how we approach our game design: Identify a problem, then discuss the ways it could be solved. Our experience told us that even when the Engineer didn't feel immediate pressure, he still couldn't range out away from his base. If a Spy, Soldier, or Demoman found the base unguarded, it didn't take long to blow up. The further away an Engineer was, the fewer buildings he would be able to save from sapping. We also felt that the Engineer invested a lot of up-front work to establish bases that were very easily destroyed. Thus the repair node was born."

A girl working at a drive through window was handed a leaflet by a customer. The leaflet explained that if you had received it, its because the way you are dressed is tempting men to rape you...even if only in their minds.

It makes me think we should just carry around an arsenal of leaflets for different reasons.

side note: i was also amused that the url was truncated by 1 letter indicating that ungodly dressed women provoke rap. i couldn't agree more.

The FAA has blown a fuse over a child clearing two aircraft for take off. The kids father brought him to work to JFK's air traffic control tower and with an obvious supervision allowed the boy to use the radio to direct the planes to take off.

MS 4-0-3, contact departure, adios," the boy said.

"Adios, amigo," the boy said.

"Adios, amigo," the pilot responded. "Over to departure, Jet Blue 195."

The boys father and his supervisor were forced to take leave pending an investigation.

The FAA is blowing a good thing out of proportion. Its not like it was Jenny Mccarthy's or Sarah Palin's kid...or Sarah Palin for that matter.

Apparently the duo responsible for the record setting video game Modern Warfare 2 and is predecessors are not getting along so well.

There is speculation that Activision is determined to get possession of the Modern Warfare title rights as Infinity Ward apparently has them.

If IW doesn't want to do a Modern Warfare 3, Activision probably does and needs another developer...hence, they need those rights.

Essentially, the Northwest Yeshiva Girls Basketball Team forfeited a game because it was on a holiday (Fast of Esther) where they are not allowed to drink water. The coaches decided this was not a safe way to play (dehydrated i guess). The article mentions that some people admired the girls for honoring their faith. it also mentions some people being upset that the game couldn't be rescheduled. No one mentions that this is just another example of a religion getting in the way of things.

Say what you want about atheists. At least we never have some bullshit excuse for why we can't get something done.
