Not Affiliated with the LDS Church

Tired of EBay scams? Think EBay is a haven for criminals? Maybe you ought to surf on over to MormonBid.com.


caller id spoof service

Covert Call allows you to alter the caller id that is sent to the phone you are calling. It can operate just like a calling card, all for the price of a normal long distance call. Caller-ID spoofing for 5¢ a minute, for all your prankster/paranoid/social engineering needs.


Consumer Reports on rubbers

Consumer Reports magazine has put together an excellent comparison of the quality and ruggedness of condoms. Unlike many of their articles, this one isn’t behind the paywall: open to the public.

Strength differs. We test condoms by inflating them until they burst, an established predictor of real-world performance. The best had no premature breakage among the 120 samples we tested for each model. When inflated, they also averaged at least 38 liters of air. The worst, however, broke 18 of 120 times at volumes below our strength threshold of 25 liters.
Size matters. Most models met minimum standards for length and thickness. But some samples of the Durex Extra Sensitive, Durex Performax, larger-size versions of TheyFit, and Trojan Magnum slightly exceeded the maximum recommended width and should be used only by men who require a larger width.

Size Large Baby.


Great Sci-Fi fun to come

Spaceballs, Mel Brooks’ zany 1987 “Star Wars” spoof, will be remade into an animated television series. I’m not sure if this is a good thing, or a bad thing.
Also it looks like the SCI FI Channel has ordered a second season of Battlestar Galactica, now midway through its first season of 13 episodes. And how totally cool was it to see Richard Hatch appear as “Zarich” on the episode that aired earlier this week? Read Hatch’s first-hand account of his long-awaited return to BSG.


Supervillains


These three thugs, caught on closed circuit TV, are wanted for assaulting a man at a burger truck in Canterbury, England. Please contact the JLA if you have any information.


Vegetarian Sex Toys

The Veg Sex Shop sells sex lubes, oils, and gadgets made without any animal products. They also feature the battery-less Solar Sensations Vibe that “aims to please those living off the grid, in a tree, or for the eco-conscious anywhere.” It kinda looks like a cell phone with a geiger counter attachment.


Thank you, Dear idiot.

I get so much joy out of watching idoits around me burning bridges. I’m so glad I’m smart enough and man enough to suck it up and not whine for the sake of whining. Real men don’t whine and bitch for the sake of it. I blame their mothers for it, whining fucking magots.

  • Remember when the ‘net was fueled by porn and Trek?

    I do, and I also remember when you had to avoid the noid. Ahh, dear sweet noid.
    With UPN’s cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise, the Trek franchise is, for the first time in 18 years, without a weekly broadcast show. While many might agree that Star Trek needs a rest, others continue to hope, while producer/right hand of Satan (depending on which Trekkie you talk to) Rick Berman says the series (which is a billion dollar baby for Paramount/Viacom) is going to be off the airwaves for at least three years. Here’s to hoping the rest is what’s needed for a phenomenon that’s fueled a lot of geeks for a lot of years. It’s about time if you ask me, only noids and idiots watched Enterprise anyway.


    Sign-swallowing trees of Spain

    Almost thirty years ago in Cambre, a small village in the northwest of Spain, some road signs were placed on trees to indicate that a taxi stand was nearby. Today those signs are almost impossible to see, because they have been almost completely swallowed by tree bark.
