Commenting on blogs

I wander the Internet, surf the web or whatever you want to call it on a regular basis. I like to engage with people I meet, add comments to blogs etc, but I have a pet peeve. Some SEM guru somewhere decided that collecting email addresses and forcing people to "become a member of the site," before they can leave a comment would be a good idea. Wrong.

It is a rotten idea!

Seriously - very bad idea to force your readers to join your mailing list. It annoys the life out of me and - I don't know the exact figures - but I would bet most of the email addresses collected this way are garbage disposable ones. I have several I use to sign up for things that I then delete when the spam gets overwhelming. Thank you Gmail for that.

That is assuming I can be bothered to fill in the application to become a member, validate my email address and leave a comment. Most times I can't be bothered. Stop annoying me - please!  If I want to sign up for your spam email list - I will do so. And if you want to leave me a comment - feel free - I will not make you do anything. I dofollow all links in comments and if you want to join my mailing list - there is a box on the top right of the side bar.

Rant over - here are a few funny images I found in my travels.

Thanks to Surviving the World for the chalkboard.

Relax

Another random collection of funny photos I cannot resist posting

I know, it is not exactly professional blogging, but as I wander the internet, I come across so many funny photos I have to post them or my computer's hard drive will be full. This is the latest batch, and I think the hot dog puppy wins the "best of breed" award and so goes first.

Damn, but that is funny and cute. So cute I have had to promise to take my wife to a rugby game instead of buying her a puppy. Oh well....

Fucking love beef jerky - who doesn't?

Even aliens love beef jerky it seems. This next one is pretty darn funny as well. If you did not know how to prepare kiwis here you go:

musician-meetupThis next one is a shot of a space shuttle taking off at night. Nigel Cook took the photo and credit goes to AP Photo/Daytona Beach News-Journal, Nigel Cook.

Night_launch_of_STS_117_Photo_by_Nigel_CookThis next one has to be awfully close to pornographic advertising - for a hamburger no less. Pretty good shot though - the "Super Seven Incher" by Burger King. I am surprised they got away with it. Pity their burgers taste like reprocessed cardboard.

Photo Collection – Awesome Funny Silly or Great photos

Another collection of photographs I have found in my internet travels. No particular theme to them, but they are all excellent. These first few are from the Stuttgart Museum of Natural History's evolution advertising campaign. I know a lot of you creationists out there do not have an irony bone, so just in case - THESE ARE A JOKE. :)

But, as you can clearly see - it is easy to work out how new species come about through evolution, which pretty much proves there is no god - right?

So - if you were wondering how Ostriches came to be - now you know - proof that they were not created. And while we are on the subject of creationism and religion - here is a quick way to get to heaven.

A graphic depiction of the difference between Science and faith:

All right, that is enough religion-bashing. Here are a few photos of Emma Watson of Harry Potter fame - modeling underwear. Just because she can...........

Great Blog

It is rare that I find a new blog I like, but I just found a new one the other day. Well, new to me at least. Dark Roasted blend. He has the most amazing collection of funny Christian photos I have ever seen. I thought I had a lot, but he's got me beat hands down.
This is a sample. Pay him a visit to see the rest:
