Leslie Nielsen Has an Awesome Tombstone


Now that is how you do a tombstone. None of this sadness, but actually celebrating a life. That is how you should go out. Or at least your tombstone. I am going to have to start deciding a more clever saying to go on my tombstone.

It also fits in with the fact that Leslie Nielsen is a comedian. So it's perfect for him.

On one hand it could be a fart joke or referring to Rest in Peace (though who really thinks it's referring to the latter).

This lovely tombstone can be found at Evergreen Cemetery in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Octomon: Finally Some Sense

Octomon's (whose real name is Nadya Suleman, which isn't nearly as catchy a name) doctor (Dr. Michael Kamrava) who impregnated her is getting his license revoked. Mind you he didn't just impregnate her with one kid but with eight.

Another option would've been to just to put him on probation, but the Medical Board found that wouldn't do much good.

Finally there is some sense in this! Finally a group of people are punishing those that brought this insanity on us. Maybe this means Octomon's time in the limelight is really coming to a close now.

S&N: The Change 4

Focusing more on this strange world, I thought that the afterlife was not all it was talked up to be. I looked at the door and I was able to tell what it was made of as well as a list of what could possibly destroy it. After a few seconds I realized that I wasn't dead.


Looking through my mind, I found a file that confirmed what I already thought. I was an M-4 which was a new model of Machines.


I looked at the metal of the wall and saw a tiny glimpse of my reflection. I seemed normal but I knew that metal was underneath. Why not stick with M-3s, which my files now confirmed were real, if they wanted infiltration units?


More importantly, though, how could I ever get back to Samara since I was a Machine? How could I ever get to her again when I was tainted? Before I could get through these emotional questions, I heard some footsteps down the hall. Even though they were down the hall, I could hear them very clearly.


A middle aged man opened the door and I looked at him. My files said he was called York Smith and was partly to blame for my creation. I wanted to kill him and then kill myself. He made a motion with his hand and I found I couldn't move.


"M-4," He addressed me. "Follow me."

I followed the order without thought. Well, I followed the order only because I had no other choice. I tried to run into a wall but couldn't. I just kept following the man until I was in another room with a woman from Karma. This woman was tied up and screaming. The woman pleaded while tears came out of her eyes and York just stood there.


"Kill this woman." Was all York said and all he did was point at the screaming woman.


In a few seconds, that would've taken awhile to think about, a complex dialogue with myself went through my head. It all boiled down to the fact that if I was going to kill this human I'd let Netty win. I would start down on a path that would take me far away from the humanity I knew. But, really, if I did kill this human I'd only be following programming and it wouldn't be my fault.


The decision was made for me and I punched the human through the chest and broke her heart. It went through so easily and the human stopped screaming after a few seconds. Those few seconds were so long to me and I realized I was lost.


"A little more work with you and then I'll have another working M-4." York said. "Go back to your cell."


As I went back to my room I saw two M-2s talking to each other in the Machine language that I now could understand.


"M-4s aren't fiction anymore. If The Net follows this path then logic will be in danger." The M-2 that spoke turned to me and looked away. It didn't consider me important and it didn't concern my current mission.

Anthony Weiner: Twitter Helps Make the News

This is a story that I think nothing of. That means it has a high chance of becoming important.

Anthony Weiner was a very eligible bachelor back in the day. In fact, he was known for dating 'high profile women'. Most likely they weren't ugly looking either. Things seemed to have changed for Weiner. In fact, they looked to have calmed down. However, Twitter seems to have unleashed a new story about Weiner sending a 'crotch shot' to a woman.

The woman, that the picture was sent to, said the story is a hoax and that Weiner never sent her the picture.

Whether that story is true or not: Why should we care? A lot of people send others 'sexy pictures' all the time. As long as one party isn't complaining, it should be left alone. I think people care so much because it's a politician and politicians are above human feelings, right?

Another point about this story is that it was on Twitter. Twitter is a social networking site that a lot of stuff seems to come from nowadays. I'll be glad when it's in the background or at least not talked about so much.

Gettysburg: History for Modern Audiences

I didn't realize Civil War week started this year. Heck, when I read a friend's Facebook status update, I assumed it was something that went on every year but I didn't know about. I'm not very good with keeping up with television shows.

The History Channel starts off Civil War Week with a movie called Gettysburg about the famous battle. From what I've read up on it, it seems it's a combination of graphic live action and documentary style film.

I don't really like documentaries. Some are interesting, but it's not really my thing. Ken Burns' documentary of the Civil War I couldn't get through. It was very informative (from what I read about it and heard) but the way of a normal documentary is too dry.

Nowadays films that are documentaries have live action bits to keep audiences interested and watching. Because, really, what's the point of something if no one watches/sees/hears it? Having pictures of what you're talking about is interesting, but it doesn't match the power of live action video.

With this Gettysburg documentary having 'graphic' imagery it'll have more of a chance to draw audiences. While some people don't like to see violence, the good majority of people like to see violence. Hopefully the violence will have some good information backing it up making it a good documentary.

Do you live more in the past or the present?

I'm not sure. I do like to enjoy the present but the future and past affects me.
