Strange fruit, hanging from the web

Someone wrote a blog post right before they and their sister were murdered: http://toto247.xanga.com/261268578/item

The police used it to track down the killer.

Do your shoelaces come undone?

[Song of Sverige has been delivering the hard-hitting, relevant journalism that you demand for over two years, and we think you'll find this post to hit especially hard. -editor]

Do your shoelaces come undone? Mine do, all the time. Or at least, they did... Now, thanks in large part to Wikipedia's page on reef knots and Ian's Shoelace Site, I have corrected this terrible problem.

It is a fact almost too shameful to admit, but it is true... Unbeknownst to myself, I, a 26-year-old nearly-college-educated man, have been tying my shoes with granny knots for the whole of my adult life.

I'll leave the technical details out of this hard-hitting blog post, but if your shoelaces come undone, forcing you to resort to double knots, you too may have this problem.

Fortunately, there is hope. Visit Ian's page on slipping shoelaces, and rid yourself of undone-coming shoelaces once and for all!

Isn't it crazy that Pliny the Elder could time travel to the present and read about the atomic bomb in his mother tongue?

The most tortured physical analogy of all time

It is with great pleasure that I present to you, ladies and gentlemen, this, the most tortured physical analogy of all time.

It will come as no surprise that this analogy is from electrical engineering, a field filled nearly to bursting with absurd fictions.

Even if you aren't familier with basic electrical circuits, have a look at this circuit diagram of a camera's flash:



Now, compare and contrast with this baffling and bafflingly unrelated diagram of a cabin's water supply:



Which part of the circuit is the ball valve? What about the other valve? Where the hell is lake superior in the circuit diagram?

Has anybody ever encountered something worse?

Ironically enough, while writing this post, I finally got the analogy. It's really not too bad!
