Mr. Bean Beats the Invisible Drums
Sometimes random YouTube surfing turns up some great moments. Here's Rowan Atkinson (aka Mr. Bean) finding invisible drumsticks, drums, cymbals and a cat (at 4:50). Yes, a cat.Weird Universe does not endorse the abuse of cats, even if they are invisible.

Oh, now I get it! You want a byline of "Higgins-Borenstein" so it sounds just like the elusive particle!
"Higg-Bo" might never be another Woodward and Bernstein, but they made my day!

I used to think working for home would be a good idea, until I saw this commercial.My favorite part is at 33 seconds, where everyone tilts. Well, really my second favorite part.

Follies of the Mad Men #94
Are you as grossed out as I am by the thought of rivers of cow's milk running through the countryside? What if you fell into one?!? Yuck! And what's at the source of these streams? A giant cow being perpetually milked? Double yuck!

Weird 2.0 (3-30-2010)
Weird 2.0March 30, 2010
"To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle"—George Orwell
"A little learning is a dangerous thing"—Alexander Pope
"Nero Fiddles While Rome Burns"—Rome Daily Inquirer, 7-18-64A.D.
The FBI, charged in 2001 with saving America from impending overrun by terrorists, set out to build a computer system that would at the least allow agents access to whatever is already known by federal and state governments agencies about potential suspects. You won't be surprised to learn that last week Director Mueller said the system is still not ready and won't be ready until 2011 at the earliest. As of 2008, for instance, the Bureau still could not pull up many suspects by ethnicity or religion. Now imagine a unit at Google or Microsoft or Apple telling its bosses in, say, 2005, that a system they had been working on for four years wouldn't be ready for another two years at the earliest. New York Times
Religious grift–er, I mean, preachers Anthony and Harriet Jinwright of Charlotte, N.C., will go on trial next week for tax evasion. The government fears they are conspiring with each other to align their explanations and wants them jailed pre-trial, to keep them apart. The judge acknowledged the problem but declined to jail them. However, he did tell them, Now, Y'all don't be talking to each other. Charlotte Observer
Like many states, Florida is running huge budget deficits–but not so huge that it can't sympathize with yacht-buyers. For them, the state's 6% sales tax is proposed to be capped at $18,000 (the amount due on a $300,000 boat). This bill is touted by its sponsors, of course, not as a gift to the rich but as something that will ease unemployment in the all-important yacht-building industry. Miami Herald
