- City removes actual fork in the road. Guerilla art comes to Carlsbad, California, in a very laughbale way: replacing an ordinary street sign with a fork statue. The oversized kitchen utensil was 6 feet high, made of wood, painted silver and mounted in the concrete island at the intersection of Levante Street and Anillo Way in south Carlsbad.

She says…He says…. New Vision
I have immense respect for a couple’s relationship whether they are married, engaged, seriously dating, shacking up, out on a date, or whatever. With that said, it is incredibly off putting to encounter an insecure female who reacts in public as if she is trying to steal her man.
Friday’s Conversation Topics
You’d like to know things so you can talk about things. Because having nothing to talk about is just dead air, isn’t it? As well as lost opportunities too. Read my best picks from the news this past week and have something to talk about.
8 ways to clean windows. Oddly enough W thought there was just one way and that is to call someone that knows 8 ways to clean windows. OK, so maybe this is the second-to-last thing you want to talk about, the last being about Octomom as a stripper! UPDATE: No stripper gig, just porn for Suleman.
The latest edition of criminals being idiots on Facebook. You gotta love (hate!) how tech involves everyday criminals with the everyday life of the legal system.
This Week’s Conversation Topics
You’ve missed a lot this week, and I hope you’re enjoying Chemistry.com‘s Free Communication Weekend too. When you need to have something to talk about this weekend I have the solution for you: the best news stories of the past week. Share to enjoy!
- Octopus eats seagull. Caught on camera by amateur photographer and shared in this video. Bizarre!
- Man impersonates dead mother in scam. Some people will go far for an easy dollar. But this? Manicured nails, lipstick and oxygen mask? Ick! Sorry, no pictures.
- The deeper the tanning salon tan the crazier the mother. In New Jersey this mother is charged with letting her 5 year old girl getting burnt at a tanning salon. BUT you have got to see the pics of this grossly tanned mother! Ick Ick!! Pictures include ugly-mom with light and dark tans. And another reason to avoid that tattoo ink lip liner. Followup: This is tanning mom lashing out after all the todo is made hysterically public.
- You can’t go to college, you’re dead. It’s a hell of a story for your retirement party. Future of high school senior’s plans now on hold or he’s got a helluva reason to bail.

Friday’s Conversation Topics
News that you might have missed this past week that makes for great conversations…
Even if this is just my idea of things to talk about.
I mean, it’s hard to figure some people out so you have to just keep talking until they open up.
But what you say is just as important as how you say it, so speak clearly and carefully.
And start with some fun conversation topics like:
- The Big Internet Names Sued For Privacy Violations. Now, I know as well as you do that in this free-styling-information-sharing-world the most important identity is our own. The question is “How much of ourselves do we sign over to social networking sites, email services, etc.?” Do you think this lawsuit filed this week has merit? You’ll notice I’m not using any names here, I’ll let the article speak for itself. Certainly a must read for all of us, if only for enlightenment.
- 3 Child Shootings in 1 Week in Western Washington State. I don’t know what I’m scared of more, the access children have to guns or the fact that they’re so many guns apparently just lying around. Something has to be done and if it means the mother and her boyfriend spend 5 years in jail than so be it. That’ll make for great encouragement for parents to lock up their weapons, or at the very least, if you’re a convicted felon, don’t have any guns at all.
- This is so gross all I’m going to say is that it’s so gross. — Then there’s just stupid.
- Why she wants to get out of her bra. No, not because of you, dude, because 8 out of 10 women say they never fit well. Dammit. With bonus pics of young woman in various bras and panties. Ok, it’s worth a look at the article at least.
- You can’t make this stuff up!” 30 minutes later plumber gets kingsnake out of toilet. Clorox Greenworks failed this test… LOL
Have a great weekend!

The week slips by so quickly but have you learned anything? Yeah, right…. So put your thinking cap on and follow along with these news stories so you have something to speak about when it’s your turn to open your mouth.
- 15 Beds That You’ll Never Have Sex In. Complete with pictures. You might (?) sleep comfortably but most certainly alone. Although the pink rollercoaster bed could be fun.
- The crack is out. Teen’s backside baring due to the “baggy pants phenomena” and the exposing victim calls police. This was inevitable, wasn’t it? I mean, I’ve been “flashed the crack” in all kinds of places, usually by people that desperately need a belt.
- Math Problem #1. “Green aliens landed in Chicago and rounded up 1479 math teachers. The bloodthirsty aliens then sucked the blood of 828 teachers and left them for dead. The aliens tied up the rest of the teachers and marched them into 3 UFOs. If there were an equal number of poor math teachers in each UFO, how many teachers were in each UFO?”
Really, that was question number one of a third grader’s math homework. Parents were decidedly shocked. From the article you can get to the pdf of all the gory math homework questions.
- 10 disgusting food facts. Definitely not for the queasy, these food facts will give you pause about that next bite. Seriously, don’t read this while hungry, or just after lunch… or maybe at all. Just so gross!

I find it funny the things some people will do on the job, attempting to get away with their disturbed sense of humor through anonymity but getting caught anyways. Suckers!TSA Will Reportedly Fire Agent Who Wrote ‘Get Your Freak On’ After Finding Sex Toy. If the traveler wants to get her freak on don’t leave messages in her luggage cheering her on. And when you work for the TSA you will get caught and you will be fired for bringing to notice a passenger’s personal sex toy. Better hope the Chinese cookie factory is hiring fortune cookie writers, numbnuts.

Sometimes you don’t stop all of the ‘bargain shoppers’ but eventually they get busted. Property crime detectives said the suspect knew about weaknesses and soft spots in Target’s security operation and used the knowledge to his advantage. The theft suspect would just load the items into a shopping cart and walk out, police said. Detectives had a trailer full of stolen evidence from the man’s residence. They seized movies, video games, clothing, electronics, and even crayons, to name a few things.

Not into online dating? Maybe your personal info is…
Gotham Dating Partners is going to start a new niche dating service that will have profiles of people created for them from the publicly available information about them.
Scared yet? You should be. Quote from press release: “An initiative to verify existing profiles and even create new ones for individuals from public information gleamed from social networks, mailing lists, marketing surveys, government census records, real estate listings and business websites.” End quote.
There is a reason to be scared of yet another mega-personal library of all that might be accumulated over the years from your public/private online activities.
For more details, contact Gotham Dating Partners Inc., at 347-414-5691.
And if you believe this quote from them, then you deserve to get what you don’t see happening to you: “Gotham Dating Partners Inc. fears, if they don’t take these measures, the nation will have more incidents like that in Arizona, Columbine, and other bizarre acts of violence by sociopaths who have public profiles that were inaccurate. This would make all of our members transparent before the eyes of the world.”
