Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the biggest non-surprise of the day. This was coming a mile away, and I’m eager to see how it plays out.
Angry German Kid. With Translation.
I’m in tears from laughing so hard. And to think, it’s because of Unreal Tournament. https://youtube.com/watch?v=kBVmfIUR1DA
Black Ice
All I can say is….. wow.
Small Homepage Tweaks
I’ve done a bit of tweaking to my homepage. Nothing major, just a few things to clean up the directory structure. It looks 100% the same, but will actually function a little more normally.

The money quote: “Queen Elizabeth has 10 times the lifespan of workers and lays up to 2,000 eggs a day.” Hehe.
Cousins in the JPost
Two of my Bostonian cousins moved to Israel earlier this year to join a program that would allow them to serve in the IDF. However, they changed the age limit on them after they had moved, and now there’s an article about them in the Jerusalem Post Online. Go check it out!
The Lost A-Team
This is pretty amusing!
