The world is full of stupid things . . .

Like for instance, somehow my homepage has changed from google.ca to google.fi. Is this google's attempt to teach me finish? Although the page looks familiar, the buttons feature words like google-haku . . . no I don't want to write a haku! I just want to search for some documents and interesting things to distract my brain. Then there is also Kokeilen Onneani, I'm guessing that means "I'm feeling lucky", but how should I figure this out, walk up to some random stranger and say it? On second thought, maybe I will just assume that my assumption is correct and not test that theory.

AND another thing . . . SKYMALL . . . I have wanted to do this entry for a while but needed to wait until I had enough time and a secure connection. In honour of my favorite writer, Paul Jury, I would like to take a look at what people where thinking when they came up with these inventions featured only when people are half asleep and crazy from being on a plane for 12 hours to buy them!

For example the voice activated R2D2 who on earth needs a robot that can play tag with them?! Someone with $120 US dollars too many in their bank account! Although, I guess if you are an only child, it might be better than trying to play tag with yourself. What kind of child has that kind of money?

I guess the child that has that kindof money, would also have the touchscreen atm toy not only does this toy teach children money management it also allows deposits of real coins!

For our grand finale of the day . . . the wall map mural which I actually thought was cool, it would be awesome to put up and keep track of where I have been and stuff. Until I realized the dimensions of this thing! It literally takes an entire wall!! And worse, it's dry-erase. So imagine, you move in to your new place, put up your wall map and all of your other things in their places and you invite your friends over for a housewarming party. Next thing you know all your friends have dry erase marker on their clothes from leaning on the wall AND worse the entire world is in a state of chaos because you have blurred the borders of several countries!

Ah the wonders of skymall . . .

Hey!
That wall map is cool and ps. the markers are for writing on the map..its not like the whole map will erase!
Just if you write "been there" then someone could wipe that off.
I think you should get two.
