I’m sure most people who own their own site or blog has tried to use the power of Digg to get traffic. But even if you have a really great article, it might not always be seen by enough people to push it to the top. That’s where DiggPirates.com comes in. They let you earn ‘PiratePoints’ by digging other user’s submissions, which you can then save up to spend on buying Diggs for your own stories.

DiggPirates.com specifically states that they urge users not to Digg anything which they do not enjoy since it is ‘against the Digg spirit’ and also against the DP spirit. This way good articles can get an the extra boost they need while bad articles do not benefit.

I recommend that anyone who submits to Digg check out DiggPirates. Since the site is so new, I cannot say whether the amount of points it costs per digg will increase in the future, or whether registrations will be closed to the public, so I recommend you join as soon as you can and start saving up points!

There is a computer virus that is being sent across the Internet. If you receive an e-mail message with the subject line “Free Money,” DO NOT read the message. DELETE it immediately, UNPLUG your computer, then BURN IT to ASHES in a government-approved toxic waste disposal INCINERATOR.

Once a computer is infected, it will be TOO LATE. Your computer will begin to emit a vile ODOR. Then it will secrete a foul, milky DISCHARGE. Verily, it shall SCREECH with the tortured, monitor-shattering SCREAM of 1,000 hell-scorched souls, drawing unwanted attention to your cubicle from co-workers and supervisors alike. After violently ripping itself from the wall, your computer will punch through your office window as it STREAKS into the night, HOWLING like a BANSHEE. Once free, it will spend the rest of its days CRUSHING household PETS and MOCKING the POPE.

Some filthy, disgusting miscreant… some no-good, low-down, good-for-nothing DIRTY SNAKE, in twisted pursuit of his own sadistic dreams, is sending this virus across the Net via an e-mail entitled “Free Money.” What is so terrifying about this virus is that you do not even to have to open the e-mail for it to activate. In fact, you do not even need to RECEIVE the e-mail. You do not even need to OWN a COMPUTER. “Free Money” can infect even minor HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES.

How it does this with straight ASCII code is, franky, a matter of some debate… but BELIEVE YOU US, if this weren’t a SERIOUS situation, WE WOULDN’T BE DISCUSSING IT IN ‘ALL CAPS’.

So for the LOVE OF GOD, forward this e-mail to all those you claim to care about, all those you purport to love. Don’t do it later! Do it NOW! Now! Now! NOW! NOW! NOW!

Who doesn’t know Disney? They create children’s movies and TV shows. They seem nice, but they also have a dark side.

1. During the New York premiere of Pinocchio in 1940, Walk Disney hired 12 midgets to dance in Pinocchio outfits on the theater marquee. Whats wrong with that you ask? well, they were all drunk and required to be for the job.
2. Walt Disney mainly used music from dead composers for a soundtrack for Fantasia so he wouldn’t have to pay royalties.
3. Even though Walt Disney had a strict policy against drinking on the studio grounds, but that didn’t stop him from having a few shots every day.
4. Walt Disney was an anti-Semite, meaning he disliked Jews.
5. There are tunnels beneath the Magic Kingdom. They were primarily meant for travel throughout the park, but they are only used for service now, but the entrances are still open to the public, so who knows what is down there? for one thing, rats. many sections of the tunnels are closed off because of rats infesting the place.
6. In The Rescuers during the flight scene, if you look into the background and into a window, you can clearly see an image of a nude woman. the following link contains an image                                                                                     
7. Disney can truthfully declare that they have never had a death in their park. Why? because they claim that the person who is fatally injured is not declared legally deceased until they reach the hospital.
8. A child found a man in a character suit with the head off, and disney sued. Believe it or not, this is true. Disney does not hesitate because without the head on, spectators can see the top-secret aspects of the suit.
9. Disney conducted a research that showed that every seven seconds a male thinks about sex. Disney allegedly puts saltpeter, which lowers a man’s sex drive, into their food. This might be true, but ever wonder why Disney has a policy in which male employees must either eat at the company or take a one-seventh pay cut for “Frequent distractions.”
10. In the train station at Disney parks, you can hear a tapping noise. This is Walt Disney’s 1954 Opening day speech in Morse code.

1. Page yourself over the intercom. (Don’t disguise your voice.)

2. Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Always wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is the opposite gender.)

3. Send e-mail to the rest of the company to tell them what you’re doing.  For example: ‘If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the bathroom.’

4. While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in Palmolive.

5.Put mosquito netting around your cubicle.

6. Insist that your e-mail address be xenawarriorprincess@yourcompanyname.com.

7. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.

8. Suggest that the Coke machine be filled with beer.

9. Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized chair dancing.

10. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it ‘IN’.

11. Determine how many cups of coffee is ‘too many’. (more…)

A thermodynamics professor had written a take home exam for his graduate
students. It had one question:

“Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Support your answer with a proof.”

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So, we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today.

Multi-national personnel at North Atlantic Treaty Organization headquarters near Paris found English to be an easy language … until they tried to pronounce it. To help them discard an array of accents, the verses below were devised. After trying them, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six months at hard labor to reading six lines aloud. Try them yourself.

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.

Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it’s written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.

The tragic results of smashing an innocent looking can of WD40.

Originally from here.

I know being Rick Rolled might have gotten slightly old, but being Rick Rolled by the president? We can’t stop lauging, and neither should you!

Now, when YouTube visitors use the site’s search box, they will see the ad belonging to the winners of the keyword auction alongside their search results.

Google’s YouTube and AdWords on Wednesday solidified their long-rumored relationship, an arrangement that allows video makers to promote their videos on YouTube search results pages.

The union of the couple is called YouTube Sponsored Videos. It promises to increase revenue generation at YouTube and to help obscure auteurs get noticed, provided they’re willing to outbid well-to-do studios for keywords like “movie trailer.”
