Victorian iMac Mod Respects Wood

Do you respect wood? Personally I respect pine. I respect walnut. I respect oak. It doesn’t matter. I’ve even joined the Do You Respect Wood Facebook group. Low grade wood, MDF, it doesn’t matter. I respect wood. And I respect this wooden iMac mod from Old Time Computer.

Built in the Victorian style, or as the kids call it these days “steampunk”, this $265 wood cover slips right over your iMac to create that classy old timey look. It’s made of oak, which I respect, and you can buy them at their site or over on eBay along with other similar items.

Hockey is the Canadian national pastime, and in this victory American hockey players showed the world that there is great talent south of the border.
Hope they make it to the podium!

Luge, Another Sport I Will Not Be A Part Of...

Everyone loves the Olympics.
The ancients were wise and cultured people.
Greeks passed on the love of sports, competition and social gathering through the Olympic Games.
One thing that I am pretty sure was not intended with this gift is the death of participants. Recent tragedy involving Georgian Luge athlete leaves me numb and speechless. Therefore, Luge has been added to the list of Sports I will never be a part of.
As I grow older and more mature (so I'd like to think) there is a list that keeps growing. This list includes things like flying in a Hot Air Balloon, Bungee Jumping, Fencing, Motor Cross, Hot Rod Racing, Gymnastics, Climbing Mount Everest ... and now Luge.
Each of us has a wild side and an ambition to try new things. My aspirations change on a daily basis and there is always some activity or new and exciting adventure that tempts. To learn and be patient is a virtue and this virtue comes at a price of trying less and achieving more with what you already know and love.
This is not supposed to be inspiring or uninspiring to individuals who live to try new stuff and venture forward. This is simply a take on personal choices.

Medicinal Leeches - A Growing Industry in Russia

Leeches are swelling in popularity both medically and cosmetically with big-name enthusiasts from the likes of Demi Moore who recently had leeches suck her blood in the name of detox therapy.

And it is good news for Russia, which breeds 10 times more leeches than the rest of the world combined.

The majority of the country's leeches are born in the International Leech Centre just outside Moscow. Imagine a library, but with jars full of leeches instead of books, and a female-dominated workforce making for a maternal atmosphere.

Farm manager Elena Titova says: "There is always contact and a special relationship between humans and leeches. Women have a maternal instinct so they are better at doing this delicate and complicated work than men."

There are two million leeches at the farm - at one pound per leech, this is big business.

Each leech has three sets of jaws with 90 teeth; their medical value lies in the fact that they secrete a natural anaesthetic that also prevents the blood from clotting.

Feeding time involves buckets of cows' blood and resembles something out of a horror movie - leeches that are about to be sold do not get any food for three months to ensure their appetite is strong when they reach clients.

Another reason not to cheat on your spouse...

Alienation of Affection Law - a legal action based on the willful and malicious interference with marriage relations by a third party. It typically occurs when two individuals are married and a third party does something to interfere with that marriage. A common example is when one spouse has been secretly cheating on the other (with the third party) for a substantial amount of time and then is discovered. The “injured” spouse can then bring an action against the third party for alienation of affection.
still recognized in Hawaii, Illinois, North Carolina, Mississippi, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Utah.

Just one such example below,

They got plenty of ravioli dishes with potatoes, meat or cherries or cheese. They also have 15-17 main dishes. all of them are delicious and under $10. The waiters are fast and speak English so don't be afraid to ask about the dishes :-). The Parking is never a problem.

Prostitute fined $820,000 for unpaid tax

WARSAW (Reuters) – Poland's tax office has levied a fine of 2.3 million zlotys ($820,000) on an unemployed woman for failing to pay tax on income worth at least 13.7 million zlotys she said she had earned as a prostitute.

The woman told the tax office in the southern city of Katowice that she had very "generous" customers, the website gazeta.pl, which is linked to leading Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza, reported Tuesday.

One of her clients paid the woman 5 million zlotys during the 1997-2002 period, she was quoted as saying.

Our prayers with those affected by the earthquake in Haiti

The images and videos coming from Haiti are painful to look at. The already impoverished nation of about 10mm people has suffered a disaster of simply unimaginable proportion. Death toll is rising, millions of people left without shelter, food and basic necessities. The main airport's air traffic control tower destroyed by the earthquake but a US Navy ship is supposedly acting as a makeshift air traffic controller and supposedly first planes with aid are flying in. Countries around the world are committing humanitarian and logistic help, corporations donating money and other resources and people around the world trying to help any way they can. We hear stories of many people even getting ready to fly in and offer a helping hand.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected by this disaster including the large Haitian community here in Brooklyn.

We encourage you to do what you can to help and the quickest and most immediate way to help is to donate money. There are organizations that can use that money immediately to acquire and deliver food, clothing, and other much needed services. Whether a few dollars or few hundred dollars, your generous donation will certainly help make a difference.

Some ways you can help:

From US Department of State website www.state.gov
To help with relief efforts, text "HAITI" to "90999" and $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross, charged to your cell phone bill.

Link to New York's FOX 5 website that has info on several organizations:
www.myfoxny.com/dpp/news/international/100113-how-to-help-haiti-earthquake-victims

As always, there are plenty of scumbags already trying to take advantage of the human suffering and generosity of others. I tried to search for Haiti Relief on Google and already saw some suspicious looking websites trying to install a virus on my computer or others posing as legitimate charity organizations. PLEASE don't fall victim to these lowlifes - take a few minutes and make sure who you are sending money to. I like Charity Navigator www.charitynavigator.org - a good site with all types of information on various charity organizations. You can check if the charity actually exists and also how much money actually goes to the charity cause and how much is used for marketing and six-figure salaries for executives.

Please help any way you can.

Yours,
Three Guys From Brooklyn

AS NEVER SEEN ON TV...........

Best Jokes ever according to University of Hertfordshire

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?”

The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard.

The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?“
-----------------------------------------

A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer.

His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.”

The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”

true art knows no boundaries

if you happened to be an admirer of history and ancient civilizations you will appreciate the following sculpture showing two greeks in a wrestling bout.
the greeks were fond of games in nude, discus throwing, wrestling, javelin and etc...they were also the first to sanctify homosexual relations between men and that is why there are proud statues of muscular men wrapping each other in all sorts of intimate positions.

TIME Person of the Year 2009 - Ben Bernanke WHAT THE $%^&*?

So TIME magazine names Ben Bernanke as Person of the Year 2009. Good article and they credit Mr Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, for averting an even bigger economic disaster or to quote them - "weak economy that could have been much, much weaker".

Hmmmm.. While nobody can question Ben Bernanke's impeccable record as an economist both in academia and government, I strongly disagree with TIME's reasons - "weak economy that could have been much, much weaker". That's like coming home form school with a C+ and telling your parents "Look, I could have done a lot worse, like a D- or even an F" and your parents smiling with delight and doubling your allowance. What's wrong with this picture??

Well I guess that's the new way of looking at things these days. Just like when unemployment rate was skyrocketing and President Obama was saying look, it could have been worse and was claiming to have "saved" some other jobs (with no way to verify the validity of the statement).

Next time I get pulled over by a cop for talking on the cell phone I will ask him to be lenient and recognize that I also could have ran a red light - but didn't.

How to be annoying

Owning a car can be lots of fun
If you like to have fun (whether you live in Brooklyn or not) follow these very easy steps that we'll be posting for you every week so check our blog often for more useful tips on how to be the most annoying driver in yout neck of the woods..
Tip 1. How to annoy your neighbors and make enemies fast ....make sure to take 2 spots by parking your car in the middle so no car can park ahead or behind you. That will generate more cursing and mentions of your mother from drivers looking for parking than NY Giants did in their last embarrassing 41-9 loss vs. Panthers and even more embarrassing 2009 season. Make sure to set your alarm at the most sensitive mode (the cheaper the car the more sensitive it should be) so if anything even remotely touches your car the alarm is going to go off in the middle of the night waking every dog, every baby, every cursing neighbor around you except your lazy ass cause you probably stayed up till 2 am watching pathetic “how to become a zillionaire overnight” infomercials.
So try this tonight and hope you'll have lots of fun. We are not responsible for any damages this blog will cause to you car from your very angry disturbed in the middle of the night neighbors.

Please check our blog soon for more tips on how to annoy other drivers, the cashier at the supermarket, the family doctor, your wife, your mother in law, people at the movies and others around you.

cold like santa's ass

"Wind chill is the apparent temperature felt on exposed skin due to wind."
I am posting a little definition from Wiki for what we here in the Northeast like to refer as the "Wind Chill Factor"
Barely into winter and it has snowed, temperatures have reached their record low's and the public is crying for Global Warming to end!
This is not really a political blog, but I think the folks here could use some of that warming now.

And no, we don't sell fruits and vegetables...

Happy New Year! So here we go - three guys from Brooklyn decided to start a blog.

First, let me make it clear that we are not the Three Guys From Brooklyn fruits and vegetables store. For those who don't know, it's an old negihborhood icon on Fort Hamilton and 65th that's known for pretty low prices. Here is a link to their store - http://3guysfrombrooklyn.tripod.com/. While you are there, it's worth to check out Circus Fruits - a competitor store jut 5 blocks down http://www.circusfruits.com/. Hey - we are from Brooklyn and don't mind spreading a word about our local stores.

This blog went from a simple idea to it's humble creation in just 3 days so we haven't yet hammered out our focus or mission (and they may never be one) .. so just give us a chance for now.
