| | I Heart Hiroshima -- Candy Cut | ] |
Mathematically Correct Breakfast An ideal knife could enter on the black line and come out exactly opposite, on the red line. But in practice, it is easier to cut in halfway on both the black line and the red line. The cutting surface is a two-twist Mobius strip; it has two sides, one for each half. After being cut, the two halves can be moved but are still linked together, each passing through the hole of the other. (So when you buy your bagels, pick ones with the biggest holes.) Previously, previously.

| iPhone worm |

First iPhone worm discovered Apple iPhone owners in Australia have reported that their smartphones have been infected by a worm that has changed their wallpaper to an image of 1980s pop crooner Rick Astley. Once in place, the worm appears to attempt to find other iPhones on the mobile phone network that are similarly vulnerable, and installs itself again On each installation, the worm - written by a hacker calling themselves "ikex" - changes the lock background wallpaper to an image of Rick Astley with the message: "ikee is never going to give you up".

The Yelp Tee: Almost More Brilliant Than Pizzeria Delfina's Pizza Genius idea: The worst of Yelp's reviews now gracing the tees at Pizzeria Delfina. Delfina is taking back the night, so to speak. Instead of simply bitching about Yelp, they've made Yelp their bitch and taken quotes from one-star reviews posted on Yelp about the pizzeria and made them into T-shirts for their staff to wear. (They also have one that simply says, "This place sucks," a quote from yet another typically eloquent and insightful Yelp review.) Previously.

| Jokers Charged with Terrorist Conspiracy |
[Mon, 18-Aug-2008 6:24 PM] |
Perhaps their mistake was in only leaving cards, rather than also making stultifying speeches about the nature of anarchy: Two Pembroke teenagers have been charged in connection with a series of playing cards that were defaced with threatening writing and left at stores in Christiansburg and Pearisburg -- a gesture police said the teens admitted had been inspired by this summer's Batman movie, "The Dark Knight." Justin Colby Dirico and Bryan Eugene Stafford, both 18, admitted to leaving cards that bore handwritten messages inside the Pearisburg Wal-Mart, according to police Chief J.C. Martin. Both were charged with conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism. Dirico and Stafford are being held at the New River Regional Jail without bond. |

Why has nobody yet hacked one of those "I lost me to meth" billboards into
"I lost mini-me to mini-meth"? |
