Wow, RoboCop becomes RoboSoldier - Robot Grunts Ready for Duty
Okay, this story is a bit of a departure from my normal fare of funny/cool/techie, and all I can say is wow. Fairly inspirational story, I'd say. I'd never even heard of Harlequin Ichthyosis disease before, but this guy has it, and he manages to be a triathelete. Weird disease, but amazing guy.
How can something be so disgusting and so funny at the same time? I can't explain it. You'll just have to check out RoboDump 1.0 for yourself.
Definitely guy humor.

You gotta love the stupidness of some people, especially when those people are college kids.
Check out Points in Case.com - occassional language from some contributors.
I particularly liked Candie's quote:
"Hey you guys. I can hear what your saying about me. I'm not blind you know."
Frat boys are fun:
"One time I was in the library, and I kept banging my head on the wall to psyche myself up. That was such a bad idea."
Let's learn about geography:
"What is that blue stuff on the map?" -Amanda, looking at a map of Japan
But sometimes, it's just the simple things:
Katie: Hey, what does "Monological VS Dialogical speakers" mean?
Lindsey: Monological's one, dialogical's two.
Katie: Ohhhhh, "VS" means versus! Nevermind then, pretend I didn't just ask that. I got it all under control.

Quite a lot of fun - take and create a cartoon character - Southpark Style.
The challenge is trying to make it look like yourself.

Pictures from the war the news won't show you.
For these ones, scroll past all the text at the top. The text is good though, so maybe give it a read.
For these ones, they're all right there front and center.

Careful what you post online - one day it might come back and snap you on the rear.

I didn't know about this. Did you know about this? Well Big Brother, wait till my good side is showing before you snap a picture.
