Why is Google Earth So Fun!

I mean, you can totally just stalk your friends houses! You could say, "yeah, that shingle type tool toooootallly does NOT work for your neighborhood type!"

I don't know if people actually talk like that. If you know someone who does, I'm sorry for you.

Actually, the google earth app is another one of my favorites on my iPod touch. Sometimes I just cruise around the city, and I can learn cool things I didn't know about Seattle along the way! (I guess if I learned it I wouldnt have know it before...)

You get the option of having Wikipedia articles of significant places on the earth appear on the screen while you're browsing. I love Wikipedia...

I Sell Propane and Propane Accessories

One of my favorite apps for my iPod touch is Funny Pics. All it is it tons and tons of pictures for your entertainment, with more added everyday. Best of all, it is totally free!

Although there's also a paid version of Funny Pics, I'm content with the free one. I'm only deprived of the ability to comment on photos and go without ads on the screen at all times. It makes me happy that I can read he comments, as most screen names people choose for themselves are tv characters and famous people, my favorite being "Hank Hill".

If you don't know who Hank Hill is, where have you been?    Hank is the main character of "King of the Hill", originally aired on Fox and more currently on Adult Swim. As a propane salesman and a Texan, this father has a lot of stern opinions, which makes "his" comments more entertaining on these pics. Here are some examples:







Really, it makes more sense knowing the show and that he really isn't the type of person to comment on these types of things. I can't believe there's someone out there that actually has the time to go and comment on all the new pictures as Hank Hill. It's just one of the many stupid things that we waste our time with on the internet.

Yeah, no duh.

TRY THIS!!!! AOCDRNDICG TO RSCHEEARCH AT CMABRIGDE UINERVTISY, IT DSENO'T MTAETR WAHT OERDR THE LTTERES IN A WROD ARE, THE OLNY IPROAMTNT TIHNG IS TAHT THE FRSIT AND LSAT LTEETR BE IN THE RGHIT PCLAE. TIHS IS BCUSEAE THE HUAMN MNID DEOS NOT RAED ERVEY… LTETER BY ISTLEF, BUT THE WROD AS A WLOHE. IF YOU CAN RAED TIHS, PSOT IT TO YUOR WLAL. OLNY 55% OF PLEPOE CAN.

This is one of many stupid statuses circulating on Facebook. It claims that there was research done about how people really only read words as a whole and not letter by letter. Supposedly, only 55% of people can read it. CAN. The people who can't just don't have a Facebook account, don't speak English, or are illiterate.

I can't believe that people really believe this. They only changed a few letters around in the paragraph above. Try reading this:

dlaond mhraecd anorud a sgrante palilr and terhw a ggniaitc sntoe

And yes, I did copy this sentence from the internet.

Most Facebook Groups Are Fake

So yesterday, as usual, I sat down and scrolled down my (very confusing) newsfeed on Facebook, when I come across this:

First 750,000 Get a Free Smiley Hat To Help Promote Our New Clothing Line!!!



Unfortunately, I can no longer locate the page itself. This page basically claims that anybody who likes the page before they hit 750,000 likes will get a new hat from their "new clothing line".
At first I was like "wow, maybe I can get a crappy hat for free!!" But after looking at the page, I saw that the hats were actually the high-quality kind, meaning that they would probably sell for about $15, making the total cost of all the hats around $11,250,000. WHAT KIND OF COMPANY WOULD DO THAT?!?!
Well, no company at all. Nowhere is it said what this "new clothing line" is. I'm sure that the maker of this group would have changed the name right when the group hit about 700,000 likes, only for the satisfaction of having the massive amount of likes, or a virus would be sent by email to the people who actually went and decided to post the color that they wanted on the one (this was one of the directions for getting the hat). And if they do ask you for your mailing address, SHOULDN'T YOU BE A LITTLE CONCERNED?!?!?!
I feel bad for those 300,000 people that I saw had liked it... Stupid people.
