- Capture radiation with groin region. The govt’s fear-mongering warning pictures “are so ambiguous they could mean anything!” Alternate caption for the one to the right: “Try to absorb as much of the radiation as possible with your groin region. The current world record is 5 minutes, 12 seconds.”
- Crack a hi-def DVD code, with some help from hacker arnezami, who in 8 days broke the DVD code “despite the millions of dollars and many years engineers put into developing the AACS (Advanced Access Content System) for locking down high-definition video.”
- Kick George Bush’s ass, courtesy of British performance artist Mark McGowan, who’ll dress up as dubya and crawl on his hands and knees for 72 hours — while wearing a sign on his ass that says “kick my ass.” Kick away.
- Spoil a nice quotation:. “everyone distinctly remembers Ingrid Bergman uttering the words “Play it again, Sam†in “Casablanca,†even though what she really utters is “Play it, Sam.†When you watch the movie and get to that line, you don’t think your memory is wrong. You think the movie is wrong.”

Oh those international signs . . . my favorite is what a blogger once called “Pet your weird looking duck while it goes poop.” An example of which can be found in the purple oval near the bottom of this page — among others — http://www.sparkangel.com/pages/albanypix.html

The signs are def. a mood lifter if you’re feeling down and need to laugh. Of course, sometimes one realizes one’s laughing at one’s own government, which is a bit depressing. Then again, what else is new since dubya was “elected” prez –
