Boston Gyms Fine People For Not Working Out
10 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Well that seems reasonable. Harvard graduate Yifan Zhang has started up the Gym Pact program, which offers participants free or reduced rates for gym memberships, provided they stick to pre-arranged workout plans; skipping sessions leads to higher rates, with the thought that this would motivate cheap gym-goers.

An attempted smash-and-grab at a Northampton jeweler was prevented when a red coated woman started walloping the six armed gang members with her handbag. The would-be-thieves attempted to escape on their scooters, but fell over. And got hit with a handbag again. I’ve seen this movie before.

08 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
You may have heard of Groundhog Day and if you saw my article last week then you will also know that because Punxsutawney Phil didn’t see his shadow this year, Spring will come early to the US.
But Groundhog day is also a movie where Bill Murray finds himself perpetually waking up on the same Groundhog Day morning, over and over again.

04 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
Wow. I’m not sure what the appropriate response is here. Finnish folk referring to themselves as the ‘Food Liberation Army’ have ‘kidnapped’ a statue of Ronald McDonald, and are threatening to execute within a week if their questions concerning the quality of McDonald’s food production are not answered.

“Keep Cheering Folks” Creepiest Show On TV
04 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Jim W. Hawkins is just one of those guys who is either an eccentric with a love for school-girl cheerleading or a paedophile or a bit of both. But let’s give Jim the benefit of the doubt and say his is just one in a vast sea of crappy public-access TV shows.

So That Guy Didn’t Get A Million Dollars By Asking For It After All
04 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
We’ve been deceived! By somebody on the internet! My god, but I feel so used. It turns out that Craig Rowin, that guy who put up three separate videos asking millionaires for money and then apparently getting it was totally lying to us. It was all a big ol’ ‘look at me I’m a comedian’ hoax.

03 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I mean, yes, making dominos that trip each other without touching is probably a useless application of technology, but I figure this puts us one step closer to that weird hologram game from Star Wars, and I am for it.

My god, but I love this town. An entirely trustworthy-looking cardboard sign appeared on the M63 over the weekend, advertising ‘THERAPutic Herbal Weed’ which I haven’t called because chances are that the entirely whimsical sign will be made weird and uncomfortable by calling that number.

I’m not sure if this beats prosthetic tentacles, but it’s close. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are building snake-like robots that can reach delicate organs that don’t generally respond well to getting cut open. Because the prospect of surgery wasn’t frightening enough before.

Cannabis Cola
02 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
If you are not familiar with the laws of the State of California, in the United States, then you might not know that Pot is legal… If you have a prescription from your doctor.

I tweeted about this the other day and people lost their minds. Especially when they saw the attached images I took, of the dashboard in the new MINI Countryman.

Badass LEGO Guns are Badass [VIDEO]
27 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Everybody loves guns. My proof: Ask a child aged 7 what he’d like for Christmas and he’d say: “An AK-47 please”. Ask a Nigerian drug dealer what he’d like for Christmas and he’d say the heads on his enemies, a brick of coke and a gold-plated Desert Eagle. Now simply extend my evidence to include all the people in between my two examples.
