Peter Griffin as Che

I don’t have a lot of time to post today (what, with the holiday coming up and all), so I’ll just post this nifty wallpaper I made of Family Guy’s Peter Griffin as Che Guevara. Well, I didn’t make the image: I found a small version of it online (thanks, 4chan!) and converted it to an EPS file via Vector Magic so I could enlarge it in Photoshop.

The fullsize version is 1680×1050.

Those Punk Kids!

maryland_license_plateThis is hilarious! Guess what bored teenagers in Maryland are doing?

They’re using templates found on the Internet to create fake license plates, which they then print up on glossy paper with a color inkjet printer. The fake plate is then taped over the pranksters’ genuine plate. They then run a red light or speed in an area known to have traffic cameras, just to get their friends or teachers in trouble with the law!

It seems the cameras Maryland uses for speeding and red light enforcement aren’t smart enough to figure out that the plate is either a copy, or that the fake plate is on the wrong make and model car. So angry teens can easily get back at the bully that threw them into the lockers, or the teacher that assigned too much homework one weekend.

OK, I guess it wouldn’t be that funny if it were you that got punk’d in this way… but as a non-involved observer, I still find it quite amusing.

The Luckiest Kid Ever

Check this out: this 19 year-old kid spends his birthday on the set of The Price is Right. Not only does he make it to contestant’s row, he literally wins everything he can. He didn’t win both showcases, and he didn’t win the $100 for getting with price right on contestant’s row… but that’s about all he didn’t win.

The kid walked away with almost $80,000 worth of prizes on his 19th birthday… pretty sweet!

My cat loves fruit!

So… as you might know, Lisa and I have four cats. Lisa already had Haley when I met her, and a couple of years ago, we got Mimi (Bittle) from the Humane Society. I thought two cats was plenty, but when a friend of Lisa’s family sent out an email about a bunch of kittens they were trying to find homes for… well, I knew we were gotta get at least one more. That one turned out to be two, and now we also have Simon and Chloe.

Here’s the funny thing about those two “country kitties”: they love fruit! Seriously! When Lisa comes home from the store, she has to make sure to put the plums and bananas (and especially tomatoes) somewhere where the country kitties can’t get to them. And little Chloe apparently loves honeydew melon, too:

Restaurant Fail!

This restaurant is located in Louisville, Kentucky. It’s apparently known as the Cardinals CafĂ©, and is located close to the University of Louisville, whose teams are known as the Cardinals (or Cards, for short). Apparently the restaurant got a crappy health inspection, so the manager decided to use that to their advantage:

Classy! You’d of thought that they’d at least done a better job of matching the fonts, though!

A Lamborghini in the Basement

Around a decade ago, a guy named Ken Imhoff started building an exact replica of a Lamborghini Countach. The only problem was that Ken didn’t have a garage or a shed to build the car, and was thus forced to build it in his basement… only the basement didn’t have any doors or windows.

So when Ken finally finished the car recently, he had to hire a contractor to clear away several feet of earth and knock a hole in the basement wall to actually get the car out:
