Everybody needs a good laugh once in a while, even if the laugh ends up coming at someone else’s expense.

This is why Web Watch occasionally wanders over to EMAILS FROM AN ASSHOLE to take a gander on what John Lindsay has cooked up.

Yes, this is another blog-to-book deal, and just like the others, this one is pretty funny.

Find out how many miles your computer mouse travels in a day


Microsoft Computer Mouse

If you’re like Web Watch, you’re constantly using your computer mouse to move that pointer around the screen all day long.  (Actually, if you were like Web Watch, you’d long ago learned those useful keyboard shortcuts to keep you from having to use the mouse at all…but that’s another story for another day.)

Still, have you ever wondered HOW MANY MILES YOUR MOUSE MOVES OVER THE COURSE OF A DAY?  Of course you have. One study even determined that the average computer mouse moves up to a mile in a single week.

The Scrabble rule change doesn’t affect anyone who already knows how to play

The recent announcement from Mattel concerning CHANGING THE SCRABBLE RULESET TO ALLOW FOR PROPER NAMES AND OTHER BLASPHEMY is really not that big a deal.

First, some perspective.  How exactly is the game being modified?

  • Celebrity names and other proper nouns will now be allowed.  What comprises the proper spelling of specific proper names will be left to the discretion of the players at the time the play is made.  In some families, for example, the name “Micheal” may be the proper way to spell the name “Michael” – to them, that would be an acceptable play.
  • Players will be able to spell words backwards on the game board, reading from right-to-left or bottom-to-top instead of the traditional directions.  Web Watch kinda likes this idea.
  • Players will now be able to play words that aren’t connected to any other words on the board.  Web Watch is not such a fan of this.
  • The rules are only being applied to a special edition of the game being released in Britain – the traditional game and its rules are not being modified at all.

The WOOT BAG OF CRAP (aka Bandolier of Carrots) is here!

Woot Off Lights

Web Watch likes bargains, and sometimes you end up getting what you pay for.

Take online shopping site WOOT.COM, for example.   For those of you who don’t know, woot.com is an online clearinghouse of discount, discontinued, overstock, and occasional new product introductions.  The catch is that woot.com only sells one item a day – and once they’re sold out, they’re gone.  The bonus – no matter what you buy from woot, shipping is only $5.

So, on occasion when woot is selling phenomenal stuff, like the TIVO SERIES 3 HD DVR (which normally retails for around $400 new) at a woot-tastic price of $169 for a freshly refurbished model – they can sell out relatively quickly, even when users are limited to buying at most three of each sale item.

Then there are the other occasions when woot is selling inexpensive camera tripods for $1 each, and they do everything in their power to get rid of them as fast as possible and still not succeed in putting a dent in the woot inventory before the day is through.

And that latter situation is what brings us to the famous woot-off, because woot needs to do something with the inventory that even they can’t sell.

Web Watch is not one to deny any 0ne of fulfilling their bacon craving.

This is why we are excited that Kentucky Fried Chicken (or “KFC” for you new-age heathens who refuse to let the words “fried” pass through your lips while you stuff said-named food into your gullets) is officially introducing the KFC DOUBLE-DOWN SANDWICH, to be released nationwide on April 12th. 

The Double-Down features “two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken filets (in either Original or Grilled style), two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel’s Sauce”.

Disney/PIXAR Character Sizing Guide (comparing Toy Story’s Woody to WALL-E to UP’s Kevin and more)

Pixarpedia

Aspiring animators and cartoon artists are constantly trying to size their characters up against each other, to ensure that perspectives and size relationships are maintained throughout the production.

It’s probably why Keifer Sutherland is always filmed from low camera angles on “24”, in order to maintain size ratios with his co-stars and give Keifer the “larger than life” persona he needs to portray Jack Bauer.  But we digress.

With this in mind, artist Juan Pablo Bravo has put together an art piece that compares the sizes of all major Disney/PIXAR characters from TOY STORY through UP (including some of the Pixar shorts, such as Geri’s Game or For The Birds)

It’s been a while since Web Watch last visited the LITERAL MUSIC VIDEO genre.

Trust us, after you watch LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD at the 3:19 mark, you’ll want to go out and dub up your own.

Sing it with us: “knee kick, knee kick (one two three and….) boobie shake, boobie shake, boobie shake, boobie shake (tae bo, tae bo, tae bo, tae bo)”
