Chrome Confusion

DungeonMaster — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 06:44:01 +0000

I went to visit the web site for one of my favorite bands (Judas Priest) tonight, and found that my favorite browser, Google’s Chrome, was a bit confused. It helpfully offered to translate the web site.

Chrome Offers To Translate

The only problem with the offer to help is that the web site isn’t actually in German.

Burned Out TnT Store

I’d been meaning to upload this picture for some time. It was taken near St. Cloud, MN during our trip there during the summer of 2009.

"TNT" Store

We had pulled off the freeway to get some coffee and saw this, a burned out “TNT” store. We started laughing like crazy as I’m sure many others did over the months that the building was under repair.

The store’s actual name was “Treasures N Things”.

Scale Commentary?

When did bathroom scales begin commenting on things other than weight?

Humorous Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop can be used to bring a lot of humor to images. I saw this last night while browsing apps in the iPhone AppStore.

Photoshop "Lice"

Yep, mobile Photoshop has lice.

Now, I’m sure that’s not what was intended (it is the license agreement after all). It is humorous nonetheless.

Google’s Logo of the Day (Revisited)

A little while after I posted a screen shot of Google’s bar code logo, I stumbled upon this version of Google.

Google's Disappearing Page

Google was apparently conducting some experiments with a minimal and “fading” home page today. See this for more info and a video of the effect.

I had to do a double-take and laugh when I saw today’s Google logo.

Sometimes You Just Have to Give the World the “Finger”

DungeonMaster — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 05:26:04 +0000

My wife snapped this picture recently of an egg she had just cracked into the pan.

Egg Giving the World the Finger

If you aren’t from a western culture, you might not understand what this symbolizes and why it’s humorous. It’s humorous because the egg is telling my wife that it is unhappy about just being cracked onto a several hundred degree grill for the purpose of becoming her breakfast. This Wikipedia article might help clarify the meaning of the gestrure that this egg resembles.
