Bible references in the most unusual places

For all the young hot chicas out there - next time you shop at Forever 21, take a look at the bag.
Forever 21 and Bible bagging
Forever 21 is a "cheap chic" retail chain selling junior and women's clothes. Apparently, Christian evangelism comes free with purchase. The fine print on their bags reads "John 3:16," referring to a Bible verse. Of course, Forever 21 isn't the first to employ this tacky tactic. In-N-Out Burger has been doing it for years.

bit-tech.net Forums - Dark Blade by G69T

I bought a dremel tool a while ago, and it's come in handy once or twice. Little things here and there - it's an awesome tool.
Seeing Dark Blade by G69T, however, just made me hang my head in shame. While my lack of skills is depressing enough, I have a feeling anyone who sees the amazing craftsmanship of this PC case (no, not the one on the first page at the very top) will hang their head in shame, and bow in respect. Wow! And the scary thing is - this is just the water cooling block!

GTA3 can be dangerous to your health...

David Robinson, 14, of Middleton, New Hampshire, was playing Grand Theft Auto 3 during a thunderstorm when he was zapped by lightning that struck outside his bedroom and traveled through his PlayStation controller. Fortunately, the shock only left Robinson exhausted and with a black spot on his left hand. From Foster's Daily Democrat:
"My TV went out a few seconds before I got a shock," Robinson said, adding the current traveled through the television, the gaming system and into him through his game controller.

Robinson said he doesn't remember what happened next, but believes the electricity traveled from his left hand and exited through a toe on his right foot, part of which he shot off with a .32 caliber rifle during an accident in October...

"I was shocked myself that it (the electricity) traveled through his whole body and didn't damage it," (his mother Wendy) Smith said, adding there was a distinct hole and black spot in Robinson's left hand where the electricity entered his body. His body was also severely stimulated to the point of exhaustion...

"I was worried my Play Station was broken," Robinson said, adding the television, the video game and the Play Station were undamaged, but the controller was fried by the charge.

Gmail Drive for Windows


Gmail not just for e-mails anymore

Gmail is now offering 2 gigs worth of space for e-mails. Personally I find that I can’t fill that much of space with mail if I tried. Apparently I am not alone. Not to long ago a few individuals figured out that they could link their Gmail accounts to their computers and use it as a drive. First this feature was only available to the lucky Linux users. However, recently a wonderful Danish chap has reengineered the idea and has made this great feature available to the average Windows user like myself.

The Gmail Drive works just like a regular drive on your computer with the only difference being that you must login.

Down side, no one knows how long this little treasure will last. Google is bound to shut it down sooner or later. I hardly doubt that they actually expected anyone to fill up their accounts to the max 2 gigs, boy are they in for a surprise

If you didn't figure out that the title is the link, here it is again: http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm
