  3. Somethings should never be and smart toilets are one of them because they can be hacked:
    “The air-dry function for your undercarriage could also be activated without warning, but possibly worst of all, the “posterior nozzle” water-jet bidet feature could kick into action just when you’re least expecting it, a situation which, as Crowley himself says, could cause “discomfort or distress” to the user.”

  4. EBD….thanks for the song. Reminds me of way back in ’78 when I married by better half in Louisiana,and we spent our wedding reciption in a little bar in Tibadeauax(sp?), with an all girl band who sang the same lyrics.Damn.Even as a Canuck I miss those times.

  5. Hey ratt….you are from that area.How the heck do you spell it? Hey.Maybe you were even there,December.

  8. ‘LOVE Levon Helm and his rendition of The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. Thanks, EBD.
    I was fortunate to see The Band, the “opening act” (!) for Janis Joplin, at the Festival Express at the Exhibition Grounds the summer of 1970. We were all young then …

  10. You’re right, smart toilets are a dumb idea. The dumb toilet in my house does one thing and it does it very well, it doesn’t need to be smart.
    The whole ‘smart appliance’ thing is not a good idea, it just makes people stupider, and most are too stupid already.

    Death wishes for the forty-third president of the United States. Who could’ve seen that coming?
    George W. Bush is recovering from a successful procedure to address an arterial blockage discovered during his annual physical exam.
    Mouth-foaming Bush-haters are nothing if not predictable.

  17. Noticed that Hedy’s partner had a pinned sign claiming she was a woman. The purpose if that in a pride parade eludes me. Does Hedy look stoned or does she always look like that ?

  19. by far the largest source of particulate emissions – the part that lay people like yourself consider pollution and that are the key manmade ingredient in smog – in the LA basin is now from the grilling and frying of food – has been for decades. Cars – especially gasoline and NG powered ones are almost nil emitters of them.Posted by: Gord Tulk
    yeah right
    Southern California’s chemical stew is the product of tailpipe emissions from cars and diesel pollution from trucks, trains and ships linked to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
    http://articles.latimes.com/2011/apr/27/local/la-me-california-air-20110427
    around 50% or more of the air pollution (smog) in Southern California is due to car emissions. Automobiles have become the primary source of air pollution in Los Angeles
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Natalie_cali222/Los_Angeles_Smog
    emission control measures in Southern California have been effective. Although emissions of precursors have declined, motor vehicles remain the dominant source of emissions in Los Angeles.

  20. Want a cheap and easy hack for the loo? Replace the spray bomb of air freshener in the ladies’ with a spray can type air horn (but take the horn off). When you hear the honk watch for the red face.
    If you’re known for pranks be prepared to duck.

    Earlier in the day the media wasted no time damaging the reputation of the pet store.
    “Calls to the pet store by The Canadian Press were not returned on Monday but Comeau said Reptile Ocean was licensed to operate and “everything was according to our bylaws, to the provincial guidelines.”
    Reptile Ocean’s Facebook page was flooded with angry comments Sunday after a post saying commenters should “be ashamed of themselves” for blaming the store. It also said it would temporarily deactivate its page to “avoid further demeaning comments.””

    “The political beauty about climate data is that it can be easily manipulated in order to fool the public.
    The National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently released its State of the Climate in 2012: Highlights. To no one’s surprise, the report gives the reader the impression that warming is galloping ahead out of control. But their data show just the opposite.”

    “Misopaedia and the Insolence of Gay Monarchy”
    “Today’s issue of depreciating childhood dovetails perfectly with my previous installment on infantilizing adults: both are reflecting a loss of the sense of maturity and responsibility in our Western culture. For instance, today every newborn is burdened with a four to six figure number of debt depending on his or her whereabouts ( cf. David Willets; “The Pinch – How the Baby Boomers took their Children’s Future-and why they should give it back”, Atlantic Books London: 2010, p.259, 269). Now the first dramatic example of instrumentalizing childhood was the Bohemian version of the Dreyfus affair. In Prague it was the Jewish cobbler Leopold Hilsener who was falsely accused of ritual murder. A little Christian girl called Anezka Hruzova had been found dead on the 1.4.1899 in Polna. And it was the first Czech president after gaining independence in 1921, Professor T.G. Masaryk, who made is name with the revision of the court indictment finally exonerating Hilsener. Nevertheless since then the West is drifting towards a gradual and not merely symbolical – think of child rape and “pedophilia”- reversal of the Abrahamic abolition of child sacrifice.”

  27. This from CBC Hamilton.
    A reptile expert says some snakes do not make good pets.
    What a brilliant statement. DUH!

  28. Sorry batb but Marie Antoinette never ever said that. It has been falsely attributed to her.
    Whoever said it meant for them to eat brioche. Long story but is explained in one of Ann Coulter’s books as well as other publications that escape me now.

  30. PS: JJH is a friend of mine who hates the CBC more than I do, however he is computer illiterate. He wanted to make sure I got this out!! He`ll be tickled pink.

  33. LindaL….I wonder who the “inspector” knows that wants to buy this land,to turn it into a suburb? Follow the money. The three most distinct,extinct species in the world’s history? The dinosaurs,an honest politician,and an honest politician.

  36. I love to hear Levon Helm and The Band Play “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”. This band includes Robbie Robertson, who wrote the song. You usually only Joan Baez sing the song. She didn’t do it justice and she mangled a lot of the lyrics.
