Two men are arrested during a gay cruise for doing what some gay men are likely to do together on a gay cruise. And a reporter is attacked by an angry rooster and it is, naturally, caught on tape.
Those are just a couple of random links I found this week!
1. New iPad? Load it Up!: Time starts off our list of ten with alook at 30 Best Apps for Apple’s New iPad. And yes, it still annoys me greatly that a company that can produce such a cool piece of technology couldn’t seem to come up with an official name for the thing. Just for the record, I’ll refer to it as the iPad3 hereafter, unless Apple officially comes up with something else.
2. Escape from New York: Now that the New York Jets has Tim Tebow, they’re giving him an odd piece of advice: live somewhere else. It seems they are pressuring him to live in New Jersey to avoid the influences of a wild nightlife in New York. We can only hope he doesn’t run into Snooky in Jersey.
3. The Man with the Vibrating Tattoo: There may come a day when tattoos will vibrate to let you know that you are receiving a text alert. Don’t ask me why, but Nokia wants you so connected, that it filed a patent for a magnetic vibrating tattoo that would be connected to a device (or devices) through a magnetic field.
4. What Are You Demonstrating? It’s a simple question until you ask a Christian. Here’s why.
5. Shouldn’t Someone Have Checked? Two U.S. men were arrested on a gay cruise for having sex on the ship while the ship itself was docked in Dominica. Turns out that sex between two men is illegal there, and someone on the dock reported seeing the sexual incident. Two obvious questions immediately spring to mind: A) Even on a gay cruise, why would they make their coupling visible from the dock? and even more obvious, B) Why would the itinerary of a gay cruise include places where gay sex is actually illegal?
6. Do Worry, Be Unhappy: If you really not happy unless you’re unhappy, and let’s face it, it seems like we all have those moments, someone was nice enough to post a list of 13 ways to make yourself unhappy. You might want to do the opposite, though. Just sayin’.
7. Love, Facebook Style: It may be the most popular month for marriage, but according to Facebook status updates, summer may be the worst time for love. Check out the three biggest days for new love here.
8. Actor Takes the Arc: A film adaptation of the biblical story of Noah now has its title role cast. Guess who’s going to be building the big boat!
9. The Reader Generation Gap: If you’re a bit past your college years and wish to feel that much older, here’s a story about how college students feel about eBooks and reading digital media instead of its printed counterpart. Read at your own risk, and don’t forget your Geritol.
10. Reporter vs. Rooster: Things didn’t quite go as planned when Katie Davis attempted to complete a standup, thanks to an angry rooster. Her videographer wisely asks her what it’ll be like when this hits YouTube. I guess they now know.
That’s my Trivial Ten for this Thursday. I hope you enjoyed them!
I like Russell Crowe. I hope the movie is a good one, and I also hope it goes a long way to turn the tide on Crowe’s career before he becomes another Nicolas Cage, starring in films each one worse than the last.
