Apr 8 2008 Pizza.com Domain Name Fetches $2.6 Million
The pizza.com domain name sold at auction over the weekend for a staggering $2.6 million. It fell short of the price paid for vodka.com ($3 million) and the 1999 sale of business.com for $7.5 million. It was sold by Chris Clark, a man who registered the domain name 14 years ago for $20. Well way to go Chris, how about ordering the Geekologie writer an XL with cheese and mushrooms with your newfound wealth? Oooh, and some of those cinnamon sticks. What do you mean no cinnamon sticks? You cheap bastard.

Thanks to my boss, whose Subway sub I stole out of the fridge in the breakroom, for lunch
Jan 3 2008 Japanese Robot Turns Snow To Bricks Of Ice
Yuki-taro is a Japanese robot that runs down the street taking in snow and turning it into bricks of ice that he stacks on a shelf behind him. He's loaded with two video cameras and a GPS tracking system to help insure he doesn't make ice blocks out of any homeless that may be sleeping in the snowbank he's working on. No word on what the Japanese use the ice blocks for, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say for a sweet ice-domino knock-down. Because that's the only thing that makes sense. Oh, and this was on Foxnews with the title 'Robot Eats Snow, Poops Out Bricks of Ice'. I mean, wtf? Where the hell is Fox's journalistic integrity? Who uses 'poops out' in the title of a serious news story about a robot? Next on Foxnews: Man snarfs world's largest burger, totally blows chunks and still manages to take record-breaking crapola.
