The site for the "Top Ten Physically Modified People" is down. Probably exceeded their bandwidth from all of us readers hitting their site.

Top 10 Physically Modified People - I feel ill. I get tattoos, but aside from the woman with the skin disorder, such excessiveness seems...wrong

The move your mouse to change the time of day... it's just two pictures blended (look at the boats in the water... they don't move and one set of boats is replaced by another).

Will,

With regard to the Airline CEO, I think this is what the "blogosphere" does very poorly. A guy (the CEO) made a mistake. I'm not trying to defend him, but everything he says is sound from a business perspective. The idea that we're all going to pile on and serve some greater good (particularly when the passengers in question were asking for more than their ticket price) is flawed, in my opinion.

Mistakes happen. People will be tactless occasionally. But the business of human interaction is messy, and the idea that there is some clear cut "right" here--and therefore some reason for public outcry--is dodgy at best.

I think it’s absolutely the same between his remarks on Japan as they were with Vietnam. It's interesting that Bush resisted the association to Vietnam and obviously Japan for years, then when Karl Rove exits the White House, Bush’s rhetoric comparing both materializes (what idiot is running the White House now?). The association is derogatory to the American people who have been forced to listen to the washing machine try to make everything sound so nice and clean. We are not apathetic, unpatriotic, or adverse to blood. The problem is whether we appreciate our brother’s blood being spilled to play a game that is contrived and unbalanced; then have this spin cycle tell us that the next quarter is upon us and it is our duty to follow in our fallen brother’s footsteps. I haven’t even mentioned the atrocious, despicable perversion those comments are to the loss in those countries.

The fabric softener (Snow), the coin collector (Gonzales), and the laundry man (Rove) are all gone. All that’s left… all there really was, is a bunch of hot air (and I guess a pacemaker).

Completely unrelated to anything above, but...

Have you seen this story? This is the first I've heard of a "diaper-free" movement, but what I find more troubling is the fact that (at the end of the article) a woman let her baby girl relieve herself in a public SINK! Seriously, who wants to run up and be the first to wash their hands in that sink?

Holy cow, forget the "reply all" airline story, did you see this comment? Depressing:

first of all im not some big jerk but im sidin wit the ceos on this one its their own fault that they booked so late delayes happen an as for some poasters 3 hours isnt that bad no one here nows the circumstances maybe their way a huge thunderstorm so they couldnt take off an had to wait it out safty my friends and another thing fast food waiting 3 hours who would and when would it take that long these r plains my freinds not dubble dipped donughts at tim hortons sh*t happens an they shouldnt have to pay for their concert and hotel its again not their fault they were bein lazy and cheep y not ask the hotel for money or the concert oh wait cuz its not their fault either its yours for ur stupidity go get a job an quit winin i make over 300 in a week im sure u can do the same ppl like that make me sick silver hairs no dout always got somethin to complain about.

In addition to that comment I'm just generally surprised at how many people fall on the side of being apologists for the CEO (It was an internal memo, who uses an airplane like a taxi, that's what a CEO needs to be, etc.)

On the same site as the top 10 physical transformations, there is also a link to the top 10 physical transformations for a film that is even more interesting. I did see Christian Bale in "The Machinist" (an excellent movie) and was amazed by his transformation from that to "Batman Begins".

Hmm, I must say, that the picture of Hong Kong that transitions between morning and night was quite fascinating, though yes, pointless. xD

Ah, the amazing and scary escalator in Japan would be something that I'd like to use someday, since I love riding on escalators, however, I don't like how it just takes a sharp downgrade after the first two feet. xD

Oh, and I can't wait for the Out of Body experience to come in video gaming, that would be awesome, to be in the game, just not an insanely hard game, maybe. Like Gears of War. xD Some people may fancy that kind of thing though with those kinds of games.

And last, Wow, American Gladiators is coming back? o_O I remember watching that when I was quite younger. That was such and odd, but entertaining show. I might just check out an episode when I see it on sometime on NBC.

As far as I can tell the 'watch the time of day change' is merely a fade between two photos.

I believe the "Watch the time of day change" feature is showing just two photographs that have been played with. Notice how the boats don't move all day. Highly unlikely. I agree it would be cool to see the sun or moon racing across the sky.

Hey. You linked to the Hayden Milk ad. She's not the only "Hero" to make a Milk ad...

Dorkbot, but it doesn't have a high speed photo of a shattering glass in his hand (although arguably it'd be more appropriate to him than to her).

AJ, having one in diapers, yes, I have heard of "diaper free" but I can't imagine the kind of attention it would take to always get it right. My baby is good at "I pooped" but seldom let's us know before hand. One mother I know tells the story of her daughter suffering from constipation as a baby so there was lots of grunting and face making so it was easier to know when it was time to dangle her over the bowl. That baby ended up training really early.

While at the try outs for the American Gladiators that NBC is bringing back, Hulk Hogan is going to be the host. What a poor choice as a candidate NBC! Bring back one of the original AG’s as the host who know first hand what it’s like to be involved in some real action. Who wants to see someone who is an icon from a fake wrestling show. Besides doesn’t he already have his own reality show anyways? He’s obnoxious and cocky.
