Tired of all that sanctimonious crap inside The Bible ?

Replace it with something vastly more interesting instead then….

The Good Book Flask is the ultimate place to stash your booze. On the outside, it appears to be a regular Bible, but on the inside is a secret hidden compartment that hides a stainless steel flask. I wouldn’t bring it to Church with you for any reason and recommend filling it with wine only, but it’s your soul. So wrong and yet so cool.

Official Description:

“All your secret prayers have been answered. From the outside, there’s nothing more to see than a gold-embossed bible, held shut with an elastic closure. On the inside, blank pages are die-cut to hide a brushed stainless steel flask. Because honesty truly is the best policy, right?”

This is rather spiffy. Google has “officially” added some antique map layers to Google Earth so you can compare todays sat photos with maps of places from a hundred or so years ago.

To use this, expand the Featured Content -> Rumsey Historical Maps in the Layers panel.

While this is an official Google service, they are not the first people to do it.

The rather good blog, Digitally Distributed Environments did a similar thing some time ago (and they used an older map!).

It would seem that God is German

I don’t object to the textual smilies people use. However, I utterly butterly loathe the yellow graphics
…especially those spawn of satans animated versions.

My email client tends to convert text smilies into the graphic versions - yeuk.

Except, when it goes wrong. In the example below, the silly program interpreted part of a UK postal code as being a smilie. It should read as EH8 8DP

Opps!

Sitting here typing while being entertained by the symphony of sniffing from several work colleagues.

Why can’t people blow their noses properly anymore?

It’s the same on the tube on the way to work. If bird flu takes off as expected - I want the government to make it illegal for sniffers to be seen out in public.

Good for our health - not to mention, it will just be a damn sight more pleasent to ban people who cant use a tissue properly.
