More nuclear test shots here.

Wow, quite a posting rampage Double. This one's for you:

This one's for me:

And some astronomy geekery:

Page 4? What the hell?

I'll probably get link owned, but whatever.

Lots of LOLcats stuff here.

You're all welcome.

First thing that Britney picture brings to mind:

<slightly modified Family Guy quote>

Peter Griffin:You sound terrible. You look like if I touched you, you'd be sticky, and frankly, you smell bad. You're pretty much offensive to all 5 senses.

Britney: That's only 4.

Peter Griffin: ...Y'know how a smell sometimes gets stuck in the back of your throat and you taste it? That's you: Truly disgusting, like salty garbage.

Apparently someone thinks Zoolander was an instructional video instead of a bad comedy.

We don't live in a direct Democercy, and neither would I want to. We live in a repersenitive democery.

Will republicans go nuclear? thread.

story

ATLANTA - Investigators are looking into who altered pro wrestler Chris Benoit’s Wikipedia entry to mention his wife’s death hours before authorities discovered the bodies of the couple and their 7-year-old son.

Benoit’s Wikipedia entry was altered early Monday to say that the wrestler had missed a match two days earlier because of his wife’s death.

A Wikipedia official, Cary Bass, said Thursday that the entry was made by someone using an Internet protocol address registered in Stamford, Conn., where World Wrestling Entertainment is based.

I'd be interested in the story behind that, that's just crazy.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Blighty, Lowe's and Home Depot here in the states have a pretty nice range of grout color choice. You buy the bulk of the grout (which is just a bland grey color) seperate from the coloring agent. It's amazing how many colors there are to choose from.

Great Thread!

Since I've done a little rehab work the past year: 3 houses, 1 - total rehab, 1 light remodel and 1 sugar coat. Oh yeah and now that I am finally back in NOVA the wife and I bought...you guessed it a fixer upper :doh:

Anyway here is a little of my handy work...

That is some great work, DoubleB. The tile I put down in the kitchen is just the "stick-on" variety. I didn't want to deal with the hassle of real tile, but I'll probably wind up putting it in at some point.

Zoony, thanks for the kind comments. We tried to sell our house last year (bad timing, I know), the number one complaint we got was that the kitchen was out of date. Hopefully whenver we put it back on the market the work that was done will take care of that noise.

I redid the kitchen in my house, with help from family. New cabinetry and counters are from Ikea. Their stuff looks decent and really easy to put together.

Before:

After:

I removed a wall to turn a really cramped kitchen with almost no counter space (what is in the first picture was almost all there was) and a tiny eat in breakfast area into a single decent sized kitchen. Best part is my wife (a Steelers fan) picked the colors without realizing how close they are to Redskins colors. I just wish I'd taken a better before picture, to show the unecessary wall and lack of space.
