50 Foot Tall Michael Jackson Robot - that shoots lasers

April Fool's joke or not this is hilarious.

Deductive Reasoning

Beware the weed during this coming Passover.

Apparently marijuana has been found to be not Kosher during passover.

"Logic dictates that if the rabbis say cannabis is non-kosher for Passover, it is apparently kosher during the rest of the year," Michelle Levin, a spokeswoman for the party, told the YNet news web site.

Gotta love the logic of those that are high. It just makes sense.

Summit Series Part II

The Russian PM has issued a challenge to Canadian PM Stephen Harper for an eight game series between the two countries.

The challenge has been issued to mark the 35th anniversary of the 72 Summit Series.

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

DON'T throw another shrimp on the barbie.

Australia is moving towards re-inforcing their ambulances to deal with overweight patients. An obesity crisis has struck down under and is not showing any signs of slowing down.

Modifications to the ambulances include reinforced shocks, extra large wheels, and a clone of Richard Simmons riding shotgun.

Missing: One Hour.

Don't know if anyone out there is in the same boat, but this weekend I lost something that is very important to me: An hour of my life.

Interesting post here about whether or not Daylight Savings Time actually decreases power usage.

One of the big points that I got from this article was the fact that gasoline consumption actually increases with DST, as people are more likely to drive than walk while it is dark out.

All I know is that this weekend I lost an hour of sleep. My rage will not subside until this fall when I can snatch that hour from the clutches of the cold November sun. Until I get that hour back, damn you Daylight Savings. Damn you.

No Fault Divorce

Looks like this guy was prepared to give his ex EXACTLY 50%.

Just Because...

Black Donnellys and Plagiarism

I have to agree with Tutsch on the subject of the Black Donnelly's:

It's a mighty good show. The new "Sopranos," methinks. And you don't need HBO. That's all. Continue on with your day...

-Thanks to Tim Tutsch for penning that witty commentary. I am in full agreement.

But did you know that the show is loosely based on the Black Donnellys from Southern Ontario? Paul Haggis, the writer/director of the show is from London, Ontario, meaning he learned alot about the Brothers growing up. Click here to learn more about this crazy story.

You gotta be pretty bad to have an entire town try and burn you alive.

A Tribute

Yesterday the Daily Dyson went down.

Amid the mass layoffs that occured and the cancellation of pensions, there was one true hero who stepped in to save the day.

Greg - you are a true Canadian.

In honour of your herculean feat of bringing the Daily Dyson back from the brink of death, I present you with a pig with two mouths.

My Apologies

To the millions and millions of readers of the Daily Dyson.

Leaving you without a website for much of today and yesterday is unacceptable.

Half of the staff at the Daily Dyson have been fired for this and their pensions have been revoked.

As a treat, I have unearthed some breaking news. Samurai swords have now been banned in the UK. Thank god. I thought this problem would never be addressed.
