The Hover Hand — Or, How to Spot a Virgin (PICTURES)

It’s a tough world out there for guys, with all the muscle-bound bros taking up all the womanly resources it’s real hard to gain the strength each day to get out of bed, and put on yesterday’s clothes just so you can go outside and attempt to talk to one of these soft and delicate creatures (no mom, I’m not talking about you!!!)

So what’s a guy to do? We meet these badass babes and we need to document the evidence as it’s probably going to serve us well in the defense of being called a homo, or whatever your brother’s “cool” friends call you when you’re busy pwning hella noobs in Counter-Strike (1.6, obviously. Source is for noobs!!!). Well to answer the question at the start of this paragraph, the best thing to do when you’re getting that new Facebook profile picture is to pull what we call the “hover hand”. It’s a phenomenon only geeks are known to do, because we like to show women respect by not touching them. Because they don’t like to be touched, even in a friendly, completely non-creepy way. Show them you’re the caring dude your mom taught you to be!

Update: Added more pics, and tracked down the source of most of these at bodybuilding.com forums

Man Pays Homage to ‘Chuck’, Legally Changes Name to ‘Captain Awesome’

captain awesome licenseThere are fans, rabid fans, and then there are fanboys, fans so devoted they’ll do anything for the object of their passion. Meet the fanboy formally known as Douglas Allen Smith Jr, now legally known as “Captain Awesome” in homage to a character from the NBC spy show “Chuck.”  The unemployed cabinetmaker from Oregon got the legal go ahead for the identity upgrade from a judge last month, along with permission to alter his signature from actual letters to a glyph:  a right pointing arrow, a smiley face and a left pointing arrow.

We can only imagine the documentation he’s going to have to carry around with him to verify his identity. In these days of tightened security and red tape, Captain Awesome might just find his new identity isn’t so awesome after all.

Motorola Droid Explodes in Owner’s Ear

BERJAYA

The robotic uprising may not be upon us just yet, but you can chalk up first blood to the Motorola Droid 2 phone. Either by fluke or evil plotting, one hapless owner’s phone exploded while he was holding it to his ear. Aron Embry of Texas told reporters he was talking on his new phone when he heard a “pop” and felt something dripping. That something turned out to be blood, and the popping sound was the screen’s glass shattering outward, directly into Aron’s ear. The victim of this high tech attacker didn’t suffer any hearing loss, though he did require four stitches to repair the damage his phone did to his ear. Oddly enough, the phone still works despite the shattered screen and newly acquired blood stains.

BERJAYA

While Aron and his family consider law suits, Motorola released the following statement: “Motorola’s priority is, and always has been the safety of our customers, and all Motorola products are designed, manufactured and tested to meet or exceed international and local standards for consumer safety. We will reach out to the consumer and investigate this thoroughly.” Until they get to the bottom of this, we suggest that you show your cell phone a little affection and make sure the bloodthirsty things don’t know we’re onto them.  Blowing up in your ear, apparently there’s an app for that.

BERJAYA

Over the holidays every post office is laden down with packages, parcels and cards as consumers around the world shop and ship their presents. Amid the holiday wishes and innumerable boxes of fruit cake though, some postal carriers were unsuspectingly transporting something a bit more nightmarish; tarantulas.

Sven Koppler a German entrepreneur who has been charged with illegally importing wildlife, specifically of the 8 legged freak variety. He was arrest December 3, 2010 in LA when he flew in to meet with an associate. It all started when a routine inspection turned up 300 live tarantulas in a packaged mailed to Los Angeles, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife services began investigating, intercepting two more packages, one containing another 250 of the fuzzy arachnids and another carrying 22 Mexican red-kneed tarantulas, so rare they are protected under international treaty.

The investigation was dubbed “Operation Spiderman” and the agents ordered more of the spiders from Koppler, getting their hands on five more packages of the critters, both alive and dead. Agents believe that “Spiderman” has made about $300,000 selling the spiders to people in dozens of countries.
