The 17 Worst Bar Shots Ever Created



If you've ever wanted to get back at someone, or just get your friend completely plastered for their 21st birthday ... take a look at this list of awful tasting shots that are sure to lay anyone out.

As I was reading this list of truly disgusting concoctions, actually feeling my liver wince and head hurt, I was happy I no longer was in college and was expected to try and down disgusting mixes. One good thing about having a birthday during college's summer vacation was that my 21 run was pretty calm, I only had to down a cement mixer and brain hemorrhage (something like the abortion from the article.) Check out the list and see how many you have had the (dis)pleasure of trying.

Censorship with your free Wi-Fi?

Ah, another "service" provided by DIA, makes Albuquerque's sound better and better.

Denver International Airport is the biggest in the world to offer free Wi-Fi. But now a Denver newspaper reports that the connection is censored. The airport actually blocks blogs like BoingBoing and other "potentially racy sites."

Here's anther case of unnecessary censorship. I like the fact they are claiming it's catching the "potentially racy sites" which translates to "Oh, somebody might get offended" sites. For a "free" service I'm sure the traveler is going to be charged for through raised airport fees, I think they should have the right to see whatever they want. I guess you still need to bring a book, since all you will be able to do on the internet is check e-mail, until they figure out that people send people "potentially racy" e-mails.

Can Owlgore Be Wrong?

Here's an interesting interview from Fox and Friends via breitbart.tv from John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel. He is accusing Al Gore of using global warning to fraud the public into buying carbon credits and making millions. I have always wondered about carbon credits and if they actually go towards reducing carbon emissions in other places than Al's mansion. Check out the video here.

John also made some disparaging comments about The Weather Channel and how they have moved away from reporting the weather. I have to agree with him, I watch for about 1-2 minutes in the morning just to see what their radar is saying, which I get just as much info looking out the window on my way to work. I think their resources would be better used to report the weather in more areas, such as Southern Colorado instead of lumping us in with Denver. But then again, it is the valley, "and no high-falutin' weather telling machine would never be able to figure out the weather here."
