         <title>Google To Add Store Views To Google Maps?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="google-storeview.jpg" src="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/08/google-storeview.jpg" width="450" height="310" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></span>

Allegedly<a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/01/heavenly_portal_opens_in_porto.php"> Google</a> plans to feature the interiors of participating <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2008/12/toby_jones_stores_your_stuff_o.php">retail stores</a> on <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/01/i_see_you_waldo_spotted_on_goo.php">Google Maps</a>.  Because, well, I'm not really sure why.  Something to do with controlling the world though, <em>that's a given.
</em>
<blockquote>The report comes from Search Engine Land, which was contacted by a New York company called Oh Nuts. Apparently the almond-monger recently got a visit from camera-toting Google guys, who photographed their entire store, six feet at a time, in every direction.


So essentially, you'd be able to see a storefront in Street View, click on it, and check out the interior for inventory, cleanliness, layout, etc. </blockquote>

Interesting, Google, but you know what would be even more helpful?  Live webcams in Victoria's Secret dressing rooms.  That would be huge.  And speaking of huge -- go ahead and throw some in the plus-size stores as well.  I LIKE 'EM THICK!  I'm serious -- if I can't stand comfortably in one leg of a woman's panties I....throw that pair back and try another dryer.

         <title>Pics Or You Lie: Last Night Shuttle Launch Carries Viewing Portal To Space Station</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="shuttle-launch.jpg" src="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/08/shuttle-launch.jpg" width="450" height="301" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></span>

The last <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/pfft_the_moon_is_so_60s_nasa_n.php">scheduled</a> night launch of a <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/01/who_wants_to_go_halfsies_with.php">space shuttle</a> (besides mine) went down early this morning, and carried a very important payload.  A pickle <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/09/i_must_have_it_magical_unicorn.php">jar</a> full of my sperms?  No.  A viewing <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/01/heavenly_portal_opens_in_porto.php">portal</a> to be attached to the International Space Station (sorry for getting your hopes up, aliens).

<blockquote>On board Endeavor (STS-130) is <em>Cupola</em>, a relatively huge bay window to be attached to the International Space Station (ISS) that will give astronauts the most magnificent view ever seen from space (short of taking a spacewalk). Expect great pictures from this 1.6-ton behemoth -- it's 9.7 feet wide and 5 feet long with seven windows all around, including a 31.5-inch circular window, the largest ever flown into space.</blockquote>

Hey, that's cool too.  Why start a colony of alien GW's when you can take pretty pictures of earth?  Besides every good reason you could possibly think of, including, wait -- I wouldn't have to pay child support for all them freaky alien kids, would I?  Because I'll fight that shit all the way to <strike>the Supreme Court</strike> Maury.  I AM NOT THE FATHER.

         <title>OLD!: Robocop Selling Fried Chicken In Korea</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<object width="450" height="369"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7pOoSe2K5DU&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7pOoSe2K5DU&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="450" height="369"></embed></object>

You ever wanted to see an <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/retro_thursday_japanese_star_w.php">old-ass</a> Korean commercial featuring Robocop hocking fried <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/08/chicken_buns_kfcs_new_wtf_sand.php">chicken</a> strips?  You're sick as f*** if you have.  But this is it anyways, because I cater to you sickos.  With a bowtie and <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/10/i_want_one_a_dinosaur_head_bel.php">silver</a> platter and the whole nine yards.  But if you think for one second I won't spike your drink, you've got another thing coming.  Namely, a spiked drink.  <em>And then I'm gonna gulp it down right in front of you.</em>  HIYO, gettin' crunk on the job!  Haha, what do you mean I'm fired?

         <title>Can You See Me Now?: Verizon Prevents Wireless Access To 4chan, Trolls Pissed</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="no-4chan.jpg" src="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/08/no-4chan.jpg" width="450" height="290" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></span>

<a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/02/verizon_customer_service_reps.php">Verizon</a>, in an act of <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2007/10/nypds_new_license_plate_reader.php">big-brotherdom</a>, has decided to prevent wireless access to 4chan, the sparkling gem of the <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/informational_graphics_state_o.php">internet</a>.  I've got the feeling this <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/08/youre_doing_it_wrong_woman_dra.php">isn't going to end well</a>.  Per 4chan Status:

<blockquote>Over the past 72 hours, we've been receiving reports from Verizon Wireless customers having difficulty accessing the image boards.


After investigating, we found that Verizon is dropping traffic to/from boards.4chan.org, only on port 80 (HTTP). No other subdomain/IP/port is affected, which leads us to believe this block is intentional.

After an hour and a half on the phone, we've received confirmation from Verizon's Network Repair Bureau (NRB) that we are "explicitly blocked."

If you've been affected by the block, please call Verizon NRB at (866) 298-5373 to file a complaint.</blockquote>

Wow.  Enjoy all the goatse pics, Verizon.

         <title>You&apos;ve Gotta Be Kidding Me: Pajama Jeans</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="pajamajeans.jpg" src="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/08/pajamajeans.jpg" width="450" height="675" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></span>

Because<a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/12/teenage_mutant_ninja_turtle_sn.php"> Snuggies</a> alone don't <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/03/ooh_pouchy_carry_your_kid_like.php">suck</a> enough ass, somebody went and <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/06/goodbye_cruel_world_the_wearab.php">invented</a> Pajama Jeans.  What are Pajama Jeans?  I don't even want to know.  But you do, don't you?  Fine, I'll randomly <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/10/aha_so_thats_how_twins_are_mad.php">copy/paste</a> some paragraphs and hope they do the trick BUT ONLY BECAUSE I'M A HARD-HITTING JOURNALIST.  <em>*pow!* </em>:

<blockquote>"We were noticing that people were wearing their pajamas on airplanes and in grocery stores. But a lot of people have mixed feelings about it because they think it's inappropriate and sloppy," Stacey Buonanno, merchandising manager for The PajamaGram Company, maker of the double duty "denim," explained to StyleList.


"A lot of people wear their workout clothes out. But we thought it would be easy to take a pair of jeans, style them similar to a yoga pant, give them all the jean detailing, but make them stretchy and soft so that you wouldn't mind wearing them to bed," she told us.

Adding that, "The cool thing about the fabric is that the outside looks like a typical twill but it definitely has more of a jersey feel. And the inside is really, really brushed, so it almost feels like the inside of sweatpants or fleece."</blockquote>

$40 scores a pair.  And, for a limited time only, if you send them to me along with $20 I'll sign them and sleep in them.  Extra $10 for a Polaroid of me passed out on the couch with a penis drawn on my face, $5 for a custom stain.  It's really a bargain if you think about it.  Drunk.  Think about it drunk.  

Hit the jump for a worthwhile two-minute commercial.]]></description>

         <title>Scientists Discover Dinosaur&apos;s True Colors</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="dino-feathers-1.jpg" src="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/08/dino-feathers-1.jpg" width="450" height="326" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></span>

Finally <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/05/dinosaur_blood_extracted_from.php">scientists</a> have proven that, despite what popular kid's programs would have you believe, <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/11/youre_gonna_burn_in_hell_dino.php">dinosaurs</a> were not all purple and sing-songy and allowed near children.  Nope, some has <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/08/i_love_science_scientist_plan.php">feathers</a>.  <em>Red ones.</em>

<blockquote>The researchers removed 29 chips, each the size of a poppy seed, from across the dinosaur's body. Mr. Vinther put the chips under a microscope and discovered melanosomes.


To figure out the colors of Anchiornis feathers, Mr. Vinther and his colleagues turned to Matthew Shawkey, a University of Akron biologist who has made detailed studies of melanosome patterns in living birds. Dr. Shawkey can accurately predict the color of feathers from melanosomes alone. The scientists used the same method to decipher Anchiornis's color pattern.

Anchiornis had a crown of reddish feathers surrounding dark gray ones, and its face was mottled with reddish and black spots. Its body was dark gray, but its limb feathers were white with black tips.

Given the full detail of the findings, Dr. Prum said, "it was like writing the first entry in a Jurassic field guide to feathered dinosaurs."</blockquote>

"....like writing the first entry in a Jurassic field guide to feathered dinosaurs."  Where the hell do these people come up with this stuff?  Because I want their power of similes.  Could you imagine?  A word wizard of my caliber mastering the art of similes?  I'd be like an unstoppable tornado of raw power and supple skin that you just want to feel against your cheek so badly but can't BECAUSE I'M A F***ING RAGING TORNADO AND WILL TEAR YOUR GOTDAMN HOUSE DOWN.  Suck it, wolf.

         <title>20-Minute Avatar Review By The Same Guy Who Did 50-Minute Phantom Menace Review</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<object width="450" height="369"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uJarz7BYnHA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uJarz7BYnHA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="450" height="369"></embed></object>

If you haven't already seen it, this is a 20-minute review of <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/01/china_renames_mountain_to_hono.php">Avatar</a> by the same monotonously voiced cat who did the <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/12/better_than_the_movie_a_50minu.php">nearly hour-long Phantom Menace review</a>.  It's pretty good.  Not as good as you're looking this morning, but God must have put <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/01/ready_my_spaceship_nepture_and.php">diamonds</a> in your eyes or some shit because you are lookin' finer than a steak dinner.  Are you getting this, romance writers?  I'm thinking about holding a workshop.

         <title>Mechanical Bull: Red Bull&apos;s Conceptual Bike</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="redbull-bike-1.jpg" src="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/08/redbull-bike-1.jpg" width="450" height="341" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></span>

This is a conceptual Red Bull <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/12/crazyass_predator_inspired_mot.php">motorcycle</a> as designed by Barrend Massow Hemmes.  Riding it makes you look like you're <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2008/10/um_coooool_a_big_cat_motorcycl.php">boning a giant</a> red bull from behind, which, I suspect, is the reason the <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2008/01/v12_engine_is_made_out_of_pape.php">internal combustion engine</a> was invented in the first place.  Is there anything sexier?  Yes, but it involves mermaids and a wet t-shirt contest and....God, I got the shivers just typing that.  And by "shivers" I mean "garden hose from the garage".  Tell your sisters, Ariel.  Cash prizes.

         <title>Zelda Would Be Proud: Triforce Finger Tattoo</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="finger-force.jpg" src="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/08/finger-force.jpg" width="450" height="800" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></span>

Well folks, not only did the<a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2008/10/master_chief_loves_football_ne.php"> Saints</a> win the <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2008/10/apparently_optimus_is_a_saints.php">Super Bowl</a> (and save my bookie the trouble of bending my knees backwards), but I beat 'Zelda: Spirit Tracks' last night.  So, just like that Ice Cube song: <strike>it was a good day</strike> I can do it, put your ass into it.  This is a <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/01/jessica_chobot_getting_a_trifo.php">Triforce tattoo</a> on a <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/02/zelda_tattoo_chick_please_cont.php">girl's</a> finger.  I say girl because of the red nail polish, but it could be a really, really feminine <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/12/for_you_and_the_ladies_a_trifo.php">guy</a>.  <em>*ahem*</em> I'm looking at you, Peyton Manning.  WHO DAT?!

         <title>How To: Disappoint A Friend On Their Birthday</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="stupid-balls.jpg" src="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/06/stupid-balls.jpg" width="450" height="333" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></span>

Send a <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2008/01/simple_music_sequencer_uses_ba.php">ball</a>, that's how.  Or nothing.  Honestly, I'd <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/07/great_gifts_on_a_budget_ghetto.php">prefer</a> nothing.  At least you won't piss my <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/01/iffy_mailbox_allegedly_counts.php">mailman</a> off (he already f***s up all my packages).  

<blockquote>Send a Ball, the online store that lets you create personalized inflatable balls for any occasion, made its ABC Shark Tank debut tonight. Here's how the business started: "One day I [co-founder Michele) was in Osco, saw a BIN of bouncy balls, grabbed one and thought "I can mail this". Took a sharpie, addressed it to my BFF Sharon, wrote "Have BALL with your new baby", went to the post office and mailed it." </blockquote>

Balls start at $20 and include shipment to anywhere in the US.  Which, for a $1 ball and $1 worth of postage, is a 1,000% markup.  Which I think we can all agree, is the American way.  Also: fat with a false sense of entitlement.

         <title>Finally!: New And Improved Ketchup Packets</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="ketchup-packets.jpg" src="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/06/ketchup-packets.jpg" width="450" height="483" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></span>

Finally, after years of watching me struggle with those impossible-to-open packets, <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/06/usb_microwave_is_worlds_smalle.php">Heinz </a>has decided to take my advice and <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2007/12/jet_engine_toaster_heats_bread.php">invest </a>in new condiment <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2007/03/pronto_condom_applicator_wins.php">applicators</a>.  Impressive, but I suggested spray cans.  Named (and trademarked) the Dip & Squeeze, the new packet-y things offer both traditional ketchup squeezing capabilities with the added benefit of -- wait for it -- DIPPING!!  <em>I'm gonna need a spit cup.</em>  Plus, 3x the ketchup as a regular packet.  Are you thinking what I'm thinking?  If you answered, "I'll never have to buy ketchup from the grocery store again", you are.  High-five, cheapskate!

<a href="http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/02/04/the-future-to-go-heinz-reinvents-the-ketchup-packet/">The future, to go: Heinz reinvents the ketchup packet</a> [crunchgear]

Thanks to emerica and Julie, who put ketchup on everything including their partners.  Kinky!  ]]></description>

<strong>NOTE</strong>: Song is arguably<strong> NSFW</strong> due to language like balls and the f word.

This is a pretty funny <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/10/okay_man_raps_eminem_songs_in.php">rap song</a> about <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/01/sure_why_not_dude_laser_etches.php">Super Mario Land</a> for the Game Boy.  It's particularly worth watching if you ever <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2009/05/nes_rap_99_lives_and_a_power_g.php">played the game</a>. I had it and I'm proud to announce that not only did I beat it, <em>I smoked it.</em>  Mmmm, plastic fumes.  Get in my brain!

Thanks to Janice, who beat the game, then around the bush because she doesn't like to brag.  Come on, be proud.]]></description>

         <title>You Silly &apos;Lil Dwarf: Detailed Images Of Pluto</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="pluto.jpg" src="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/05/pluto.jpg" width="450" height="360" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></span>

Remember when Pluto was a planet?  Me neither, I drink too much.  And, I don't know if we can really trust anything NASA tells us anymore, but these are allegedly the most detailed images of Pluto ever taken.  As you can see, we still have a long ways to go.

<blockquote>NASA today released the most detailed set of images ever taken of the distant dwarf planet Pluto. The images taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope show an icy and dark molasses-colored, mottled world that is undergoing seasonal changes in its surface color and brightness. Pluto has become significantly redder, while its illuminated northern hemisphere is getting brighter. These changes are most likely consequences of surface ices sublimating on the sunlit pole and then refreezing on the other pole as the dwarf planet heads into the next phase of its 248-year-long seasonal cycle. The dramatic change in color apparently took place in a two-year period, from 2000 to 2002.</blockquote>

Jesus, a two-year period?  Somebody rocket that dwarf planet some sanitary napkins!

         <title>Planet Of The Apes Real, On Google Maps</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="ape-planet.jpg" src="http://www.geekologie.com/2010/02/05/ape-planet.jpg" width="450" height="392" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></span>

Somebody went and made it look as if the iconic Statue of Liberty scene in Planet of the Apes appears in Google Maps (larger version <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/image.php?path=/2010/02/05/ape-planet-2.jpg">HERE</a>).  Cute.  Fun fact: did you know a time-traveling simian from Planet of the Apes is responsible for AIDS?  It's true or my name isn't Dick Dragon (it really does is the thing).
