The Human Litterbox Bet

I do not know anyone who would be willing to take this bet.  It certainly would make for an interesting end to March Madness tournament betting, especially for those who are always looking for the ultimate bet payoff with one’s friends:  THE HUMAN LITTERBOX.

All the loser has to do is use a cat litterbox for a week instead of the toilet.

Sure, you’d have to figure out what to do about using the facilities at the workplace, but that could be easily arranged as litterboxes are fairly portable.  What could possibly go wrong with this idea?

Apparently, this is not a new concept.  Cats are writing advice columns on how to deal with messy humans, and Half-Bakery even has a suggestion on using kitty litter as a way to keep your bathroom clean between scrubs…and they’ve done the math in how humans and cats differ in pee volume.

I know what you’re thinking – someone did think that there was a practical reason to poop in a cat box.  GEM718 asked Yahoo Questions the following: “Can I Poop in My Cat’s Litter Box to Train her to Do So?  My kitten is 5 weeks old, and she just will NOT use her litter box. I needed to know if I were to take a dump in her litter box, would she get the idea?”

You’re just going to have to click the link to see the answer for yourself.

How To Pick the NCAA Basketball Bracket

Whether you call it the NCAA Men’s College Basketball Championship, March Madness, Bracketology, or the World’s Best Office Pool, every year office work grinds to a halt as millions of people sweat over their 63 game selections as they fill out their basketball brackets – hoping ultimately to win their local office pool.

How tough is it to pick the perfect tournament bracket?  Try 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 1 (nine quintillion, if you lost track of the number of commas in that number).

Officially, the NCAA does not support using the grid in any form of gambling, and frowns upon the amount of effort thrown at filling out the brackets for monetary gain.

Got that?  Good.  Now that THAT is out of the way, let’s talk about the 10 BEST WAYS TO FILL OUT YOUR BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT BRACKET SO YOU CAN WIN YOUR OFFICE POOL

(Okay, we may cover more than 10 rules for you to follow while filling out your bracket, but who’s counting?)

Making Money at Guitar Hero

If you’re a band trying to make it big by touring college campuses (like I LOVE COLLEGE‘s Asher Roth) or just waiting to sign a deal with a label (and finding out with a music royalty calculator that you owe more to the label than they’re paying you), then maybe you need to rethink your game.

Maybe you need to focus your energy on making music for Guitar Hero and not for CDs and MP3 downloads.

Why?  Because that’s where the real money is these days.  Video games and music tie-ins.  Heck, the music-related video games like Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and others pulled in US$2.3 billion in three years.

10 Things You Don’t Know About… Seattle

Seattle is a great place to visit.

It’s a nice town.  A bit damp, but very nice.  Good people, good food, comfortable weather, if you don’t mind the mist.  Well worth the trip if you haven’t had a chance to go.  (Here’s a hint:  take the city bus from the airport to downtown.  It’s reasonably priced and will get you where you want to go.  All the locals do it.)

I thought about linking over to 10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE MOVING TO SEATTLE, but the list started off with…

  1. It rains
  2. No really, it rains a lot here

I’ve watched the Seattle Convention and Visitor’s Bureau promotional video – they claim that Denver has more rain than Seattle does. Comparing what the video tells me just didn’t jive with the “Moving to Seattle” list. 

So I decided to go with the TOP 10 THINGS SEATTLE GIRLS SHOULD DO TO LOOK HOT.  Here are the highlights:

  1. Wear Makeup
    Do Seattle girls just not care, because every time I see one, I throw up a little. However, this one is tricky. Too much makeup or makeup improperly used can make you look like a hooker or a clown.
  2. Wear Cute Dresses and Skirts
    blue jeans and a black Northface does not constitute as dressing up.
  3. Work Out That Butt
     
    girls in Seattle tend to have wider loads.
  4. Wear Heels
     
    heels are sexy. They also make your butt look sexier.
  5.  Stop Looking Like Men

Disney’s New Membership Club: D23

Those of you who follow Disney business news are already aware of Disney’s new fan club, D23.

For those of you who don’t follow the business side of the Disney company, D23 is something that the Disney marketers have put together to compete in the value-added, information marketplace that was left with a giant void when the various Disney Club, Magic Kingdom Card, Disney Magazine, and other promotional programs closed down.  They’re calling D23 a “fan community”.

For $75 a year, D23 members get 4 glossy, high-quality magazines a year, along with some extra doodads and opportunities.  Other websites have done a wonderful job dissecting the D23 program announcements, so it is unnecessary to repeat the bulk of the details here.

Legacy Locker – In Case of Emergency

A friend of mine recently visited his parents and they had “the talk” with him.

The Talk consisted of who the accountant was, what the lawyer’s contact info was, where copies of all the Important Documents were, and so on. Just In Case something were to happen.

The parents were thorough – every month they sent a CD backup to the safe deposit box with electronic copies of vital accounts, usernames, and passwords that would be needed In Case Of Emergency.

LEGACY LOCKER is a bit like that emergency backup CD, except that all that important information is stored online.  Their marketing material says that “Legacy Locker is a safe, secure repository for your digital property that lets you grant access to online assets for friends and loved ones in the event of death or disability.”
