You know when you're in a busy public restroom and you have to go Number 2 and you have to use a stall that someone just exited and you sit down and the toilet seat is still warm...yeah, that's a strangely awkward feeling.

I just got an email from Samsung about their new stuff, including the Galaxy Tab. Okay, so I went to the Tab site and looked around because I'm pretty interested in it, and this picture, well, check it out



Check out where his eyes are going, what she "appears" to be doing, the exposed leg and the expression on their faces....hmmm, a hint of what the Tab could do? Dirty minds at Samsung perhaps? LOL Whatever Mr. and Mrs. business are doing, they are definitely NOT checking out the Tab up there on the table

I started Castlevania: Lords of Shadow today. It's a gorgeous game for sure, very hack and slash but very fun. I'm really enjoying it so far.

Movie trivia time. One of my favorite lines:

"He has my father's eyes."
"...,take those out of his mouth."

Adam's Family. Love that movie. Gomez takes the place of the ellipses.

And Raul Julia was excellent in that role. As good as the series was, I think I preferred his interpretation of the role.

I took part in a zombie crawl over the weekend, it was a good time, and a surprisingly large turnout considering this is the first year anyone has done one around here.

I have a tree in the back yard that has commitment issues.

So ICP have been evangelical Christians the whole time...? So strange.

That's one hell of a correction. One letter makes all the difference.

The Super Sport, said Mr. Kruta, was built in response to customers who, incredibly enough, asked for a sportier version of the Veyron -- because, obviously, the Veyron was such a sissy cupcake of a car.

Yes, the SS is an upgrade to the original Bugatti Veyron 16.4 - a 987 bhp car, which held the Guiness World Record for top speed at 253 mph prior to the Ultimate Aero SSC reaching 257 mph in '07. The SS has a top-end of a piffling 267 mph. Wanna drag?

The Bugatti Veyron SS has the following specs:

8.0L W16 engine (imagine a pair of narrow-angle V-8's mounted side-by-side)
1184 bhp
1100 ft/lb of torque
4 turbos
electronically limited to 258 mph - because they couldn't get a road-certified tire that would handle faster speeds
7-speed paddle-shifted automatic transmission
1/4-mile in 7.2 seconds
0-100 kph (62 mph) in 2.6 seconds
0-400 kph (248.5 mph) in 32 seconds

It uses special Michelin PAX run-flat tires, designed specifically to accommodate the Veyron's top speed, which reportedly cost $25,000 US per set. The tyres can be removed from the rims only in France, a service which reportedly costs $70,000.

Anybody wanna "loan" me the expected $2.5 million or so to get one?
