Monkey Business Causes Flight Mayhem.

A drugged baboon smuggled onto a Yemeni plane caused havoc after it awoke and broke loose during a flight, the official Yemeni news agency SABA reported on Thursday.

Who smuggles baboons? More importantly, are baboons hidden in the same places drug smugglers hide drugs in?

I can\’t link directly to it so I\’ll just post the whole story here.

Asian Man Has Thing For Asian Women
TOKYO– Shoji Furukawa, a 33-year-old Tokyo man, confessed Monday to a fetish for Asian women. \”For some reason, as long as I can remember, I\’ve always been into Asian chicks,\” Furukawa said. \”I don\’t know what it is about them, but they just totally do it for me.\” Furukawa said the preference may be a familial trait, noting, \”My dad was really into Asian girls, too.\”

I haven\’t visited SatireWire in a long time and I missed a lot of good stories:
Business Proverb \”Success Built On Failure\” Being Taken Much Too Literally, Study Says

Investors Stunned To Learn Cisco Not Just Stock, Also Company That Makes Things
Heh heh, I actually work with Cisco routers in one of my classes.

I have to go to work for another 6 hours tomorrow. I\’m finally starting to do some cool stuff though, so it won\’t be as bad as yesterday. Yesterday I spent all day trying to install a piece of shit modem under Windows 95, 98, and ME. That really pissed me off.

Also yesterday, I returned the power supply to Fry\’s. Yeah, I went down there, slammed the power supply on the counter, grabbed the clerk by his cheap button-down shirt, and once he saw how much of a badass I am, he gave me back my money. Actually, I just gently put the power supply on the counter and asked for a refund. I did have that look in my eye though. You know, that look I get sometimes?

Subvert Total Request Live by voting for Daler Mehndi\’s Tunak Tunak Tun video. We did the same thing for our dorm\’s yearbook last year. We got everyone on our floor to vote for Tunak Tunak Tun for \”Most popular song\”, and I think it won cause everyone else in the dorm was voting for their own thing, so no song got more than, like, 3 votes. Heh heh heh. And you have to admit, the song grows on you. The video kicks ass too.

Mass customization is rising in popularity, as it allows people to customize, to a certain degree, products for the masses. I don\’t know about the Dell example though. Customizable computers have been available for years now.

Motorist Booked for Doing 773 KPH. The story\’s funny, but check out the guy\’s name: New Ching Shit. Ha ha ha! That\’s the greatest name I\’ve ever heard.

I\’m debating whether I should go to a screening of Made tomorrow in Westwood. I really don\’t want to drive in traffic on the 405. But on the other hand, Jon Favreau\’s gonna be there! That\’s so money. I should ask him to sign my Swingers poster. Then again, Vince Vaughn\’s on the poster. Jon Favreau will probably kick my ass for that.
