Giant Gift Bows for Cars

You’ve seen those giant gift bow ribbons on the cars in those fancy car commercials, right?  I know that Lexus makes those giant red bows available for a rental/damage fee when you buy a car from them (which makes sense, considering that they make a big deal about giving a Lexus as a gift to your loved one).

But if you don’t want to rent a bow from a dealer and would prefer to have one for every day giant bow use, you can always order a giant bow from CAR BOWS or KING SIZED BOWS. 

Prices range from $30-$100 and more, depending on the size of the bow you need and other factors.  But at least you own the bow, so you can use it for any other gift you’re planning on giving that requires a big giant bow.

How to Improve Your Scrabble Play

All you need to do is learn some new 2- and 3-letter words.

In what appears to be a bad case of timing from their reporters, The Wall Street Journal finally reported this week of a dramatic change in the world of Scrabble that took place in October 2005: 

THE ADDITION OF NEW WORDS TO THE SCRABBLE DICTIONARY. 

Words such as “ZA”, “QI”, and “ZZZ” were added recently, according to the WSJ.  Apparently, “recently” means “in the past 4-5 years” to them.

Regardless, here at Web Watch we believe in making sure that you are not sucked into the same vortex of bad Scrabble-playing that the WSJ would lead you down if you had to wait a few years to discover that there had been a Scrabble dictionary update.  So here are the list of handy two- and three- letter words that you should have at the ready the next time you need to impress your Scrabble-playing friends…along with the unexpected WSJ followup:

List of Facebook Statistics

A few days ago in talking about how Disney is handling their new D23 community with regards to how large companies deal with fan clubs, Web Watch mentioned that Coca-Cola was the #2 most popular fan page on Facebook behind Barack Obama.

Since then, some have asked what the rest of that breakdown was.  So here is a LIST OF FACEBOOK PAGE STATISTICS.

Rules of the Internet

In case you were wondering, THE INTERNET DOES HAVE RULES. 

Sure, some would say that the Internet should be like the wild west of old, with the whooping and the hollering, the rustling and the stampeding… but all that is so 1998.

Still, there are a few Internet rules that should be shared and noted. One in particular, as it was brought up by someone after looking at the Lightning McQueen autopsy from yesterday.  Yes, that is Rule #34.  We’ll get to that in a moment.

Where do Ticket Scalpers Get Their Tickets?

Nine Inch Nails’ lead singer Trent Reznor has not been shy in the past about airing his opinion about other musicians or the music industry in general.  More often than not, he’s been the one willing to talk about the elephant in the room that everyone else ignores.

So it should come as no surprise to anyone – let alone Nine Inch Nails fans – when TRENT POSTED A MESSAGE ON THE OFFICIAL NINE INCH NAILS MESSAGE BOARD explaining exactly what happens when NIN goes on tour with regards to what they do to minimize ticket scalping.  As part of Trent’s post, he includes a number of links to ticket scalping-related news articles that offer additional insight to the problem.

It’s refreshing to hear a band’s opinion of the whole mess. Here’s what Trent has to say about how the whole thing works:

SideTaker.com – Whose Side are You On?

You know why those weekday afternoon television judge shows are so popular?  Because everybody likes to hear other people’s dirty laundry and then voice an opinion on it by yelling at the TV.

Of course, yelling at the TV doesn’t effect the outcome of the situation.

So if you are looking for a place where you can hear an argument and take a side, you’ll want to check out SIDETAKER. 

If you are having an argument with someone and just can’t come to an amicable agreement, why not take your case to the Internet and have other people decide who is right and who is wrong. 

Some of the questions that are posed are relatively benign:

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.
