Apple has generated a lot of chatter with its newest innovation. But it may not be quite the conversation it wanted.
As people waited in anticipation on Wednesday, Apple unveiled the iDork, a cyber hero for the 21st century. He’s a combination of genetic mutation, cloning, and good ol’ android tech.
Many women are saying the name evokes awkward associations with specific adult acts. People from Boston to Ireland are complaining that “iDork,” in their regional brogue, sounds almost indistinguishable from “iDirk,” their beloved show about a lifeguard at Loch Ness, starring Dirk Benedict.
Apple made the announcement in a stunning show with an amazing flash developing animation video of the hero’s new theme song. Rap group Green Brothers says the theme sounds a lot like ‘If You Believe’ a song on their 2009 Soulsville record.
So, now the most hyped and anticipated product of the new year has been presented by Steve Jobs, showing off the new Apple iDork’s 6 Million Dollar bionic skeletal structure. One thing is for sure- the future of spandex will never be the same… at least until the unveiling of Google Eyes ocular implants for men, with x-ray vision.
So I got emailled these. I am not sure where they came from – although there was thought they may have originated from College Humor.
Still, this makes me think – Who has the time to put this together. Better yet, who is the ingenious person that took the time. Or even more – Where is Leia’s Facebook profile and can I be her friend.
What other Facebook profiles can you imagine? Star Trek? Gremilins? Good Times? William Katt from Greatest American Hero is on Facebook – Check out what he says.
In the meantime, here are the posts. Pretty friggin hillarious.
In the wild, there also are dorks. Here is the proof.
One morning, A Viroqua WI man awoke to find his concrete Elk statue lying on the ground. He went outside to investigate, wondering what punk kid was able to knock over the heavy stone beast.
Then, the situation had become clear. A short distance away lie a dead Deer. The 180 pound animal, in the rut, decided to challenge the Elk statue for male dominance.
So, Dorks do exist in the wild, they just don’t live too long. I guess that is natural selection for ya!
I went to college for music education. One of my classes was conducting. I had worked on many songs and understand how to conduct. But now you can do it via your iPhone.
Bravo Gustavo is the conductor of the LA Philharmonic. A pretty active conductor, it’s always been fun to watch him. So when I heard about this iPhone app, I was intrigued.
The program is simple: You pick the song and you either tap the screen or wave it in the air like a baton. As you do that, the song progresses. The program comes with 2 songs (or at least parts of the songs) and you can purchase more.
I have to admit, I was disappointed with this application. While I didn’t expect the world from this, I did expect it would work a little better. It really doesn’t show people how to conduct at all. If anything, it’s just an application of pictures and music.
If you don’t know the music, you can get lost in the clip provided. I ended up using the “4 finger tap” method, which sped up the song immensely. I think if I did that for my orchestra, they would coup.
At least the application was free….
Can you believe some of the cool inventions that we don’t use today? Check this one out – It’s a Bananna injector. It was a patent for a needle – like injector that not only takes out the middle of the bananna, but also can fill it with things like Ice Cream, cream cheese or jelly.
Ya know, you add a stick to that and even chocolate coat it. Sprinkles on top. And a Cherry. Mmmmmm.
The patent was filed on July 4, 1933 by Phillip Marchio. It is United States Patent 1917137.
I have watched for dumb laws for a while. I have seen a lot of them. Don’t put an animal on your head, don’t Jay walk on Sundays of the full moon, don’t wear your pants on backwards. Hey – It’s could happen that you just so broke a Dumb law.
If you haven’t been to Dumb Laws, then you should pack the kids up in the internet vehicle and see what you can or cannot do in your State. You will be surprised what you might not be able to do.
For this, we did stick in the US. Not to say there are not dumb laws in other countries. Don’t think just because you live in Australia, means that you have perfect laws.
Still, todays’ post, we decided to highlight 15 laws. Whether they are the top dumb ones or not, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that people think that these were smart ideas at the time.
No random order:
Indiana – Hotel sheets must be exactly 99 inches long and 81 inches wide.
Can you say “Hospital Corners”
Texas – Beer may not be purchased after midnight on a Sunday, but it may be purchased on Monday.
If you gotta think about this, then you need to stop drinking. Bottom line, you cannot purchase Beer for a whole second.
Connecticut – It is illegal to dispose of used razor blades.
So what do you do with the razor blades? Turn it into a mobile? Maybe a Kids playhouse? Oh look – Johnny lost an ear. How cute…
Oregon – No person may allow his dead dog’s carcass to remain on public property.
Where’s Rowdy?!? (Scrubs reference)
Colorodo – One may not mutilate a rock in a state park.
How do you mutilate a rock? What do they call mutilation? I could urinate on it and that could be mutilation. If a bird poops on a rock, do they get in trouble?
Louisiana – Persons could land in jail for up to ten years for stealing an alligator.
That is, if they haven’t lost an arm or leg stealing the alligator in the first place.
Michigan – It is illegal to let your pig run free in Detroit unless it has a ring in its nose.
Just one piercing? That doesn’t sound right. What about tattoos?
Alabama – Boogers may not be flicked into the wind.
I did that once. Once. (Johnny Dangerously reference)
Iowa – One-armed piano players must perform for free.
Well at least they have one arm.
New Jersey – It is illegal to wear a bullet-proof vest while committing a murder.
If the vest don’t fit, you must acquit.
Hawaii – Coins are not allowed to be placed in one’s ears.
This is actually a tragic story. Little Johnny lost half of his face when Bop-o the clown tried a magic trick that went awry.
Florida – It is illegal to sell your children.
Yes. Trade them in for 18 year old females. Oh wait. You can’t do that either? Well that sucks.
Mississippi – Exterior burglar bars which are viewable from the street are not allowed.
At first I thought they meant Taverns, but in reading again, this might not be a stupid law. They just want to make things look pretty.
South Carolina – It is perfectly legal to beat your wife on the court house steps on Sundays.
God bless America and all that is holy.
Nevada – It is illegal to drive a camel on the highway.
See, even in Nevada, you can’t do things. Besides, Camels know how to count cards and the Casinos won’t let them in anyway because of that.
Found this on Facebook. If you are not a Facebookaholic or are going through FBAA (Facebookaholic Anonymous), then we’ll help you out. I highlighted the good ones.
You might be looking at your family photo and thinking – Why did I wear THAT sweater? Why did I wear that much makeup? I look like a clown. The whole family looks like clowns. And what the heck was the dog doing in that picture?
Well, if you don’t have one of those and would like to scoff at others that do, then check out Awkward Family Photos, a website dedicated to those pictures you want to burn before someone with a scanner gets their hands on it.
Teased hair, acid wash jeans, polyester jackets and oversized glasses are what you will find here.
You look up and see this old antiquated CCTV camera. You think that it’s got to be a fake. Well it is, but not in the way you would guess.
It’s a birdhouse.
That’s right. You now have a new use for that large box that hangs from your house, business or front gate. You can also give a bird a home.
Maybe on the inside you could put a web cam, then uStream a bird. Hopefully the bird signed a release. Hey – bird lifestreaming could happen.
The most favorite pair is Moose & Squirrel. But how bout Moose and Cat? Moose and Chipmunk? Mabey even Dog and Cat.
Over at “Let’s Be Friends”, they show you that you can live in harmony with your fellow beast. No matter what the situation, combination there is no separation between the two. There is even a Snake and Hampster, although neither are doing a Hampster dance…
I would guess a couple are Photoshopped and others are staged photos. For instance: While the cat in the picture does not look really happy about it, he’s definitely got a monkey on his back.

Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a friend out of my Hat!
I love it when people think outside the box. This person thought outside the credit card. Then they put their iPhone on it.
I have made credit card art before – you don’t want to just throw away a card – so you turn it into a mobile or some wall art. Well, maybe you should have your credit work for you.
If you are watching a movie off that iPhone, this is a handy item to have around. It will stand your iphone up so you can watch the video. Of course, you can also do other things with the iPhone like read a book or follow a recipe when you cook.
Make.com has all the instructions on making this little helper. Then again, use it for more than your iPhone. Those Wizard of Oz collector plates maybe?
‘Nuff said, fanDork! Now, go see the Watchmen movie! In the meantime, check out this Bitstrips comic:
