As a service to our readers in Fredericton, Canada, we would like to alert you of a potentially dangerous situation. It appears there is a renegade cow on the loose in the general Fredericton area. That’s right, a cow that escaped from its farm two weeks ago has been making the rounds on Fredericton’s north side.
Nearby farmer Albert Neill had a run-in with the animal on Saturday. He in on record as saying, “There was no stopping her…”
Authorities (not the Mountees) plan…well, to do nothing. Officials with Fredericton police said they have given up looking for
the cow, while spokespeople with the provincial government said dealing
with the animal is the responsibility of the city, which will look into
the matter further when another sighting is reported.
Please try and remain calm. It is safest to stay locked indoors and away from anywhere cows choose to congregate…Also, stay away from Chick-fil-A restaurants (assuming they have those in Canada)
For more information and the full story read this article from cbcnews.ca.

Greetings fellow How I Met Your Mother fans and those who love awesome motivational posters. It’s no secret that most of my visitors come here for information on Barney Stinson’s Awesomeness Poster. Many of you have also requested some of the other Motivational Posters from Barney’s office. I have also been working on several of the other posters (a post coming soon, I promise!), however until then let’s talk about the Conformity Motivational Poster. 
In “Life Among the Gorillas” not only do we see the poster but we without a doubt know what it says because Marshall reads it out loud. It reads “Conformity, It’s the one who is different that gets left out in the cold.”
The original poster shows a group of penguins (when I figure out the stock photo location I will modify this). However, I felt that a more accurate poster would only have 1 penguin (because it’s alone…try and keep up). So for your enjoyment, I have made up a desktop version of the poster that can be downloaded from here. It is 1680 x 1260 and in jpg format. The photo in the poster is from Eli Duke (flickr page and homepage). Thanks Eli, hope it meets your approval! Download here. Also, check Cafepress (though I may be shopping for a better poster maker) if you like what you see.
Also, some feedback (thoughts, suggestions, what else you would like to see, etc.) on what you thing about the conformity poster would be great. Thanks all.

No, not “Finding In the Closet Women”… this has nothing to do with that kind of closet, but a literal closet. From Reuters:
A Japanese man who was mystified when food kept disappearing from his kitchen, set up a hidden camera and found an unknown woman living secretly in his closet, Japanese media said Friday.
The 57-year-old unemployed man of Fukuoka in southern Japan called police Wednesday when the camera sent pictures to his mobile phone of an intruder in his home while he was out on Wednesday, the Asahi newspaper said on its Website.
Officers rushed to the house and found a 58-year-old unemployed woman hiding in an unused closet, where she had secreted a mattress and plastic drink bottles, the Asahi said. Police suspect she may have been there for several months, the paper said.
“I didn’t have anywhere to live,” the Nikkan Sports tabloid quoted the woman as telling police.
I am honestly not sure how you wouldn’t notice this… Just to be safe I have check all the unused areas of my home and no “guests” were found. I should mention that what the article does not tell you is that the man later remembered this woman was his wife.

The beginning of the episode was predictable. For some reason, I knew Ted would be sitting there(Just a great use of Radiohead by the way, music matters). Either way… I don’t have much to say here, other than to say I stand by my previous posts (or for the lay person “Nah, Nah, I am right”)
On the Robin and Barney issue, I feel that I made a pretty compelling case, and after the way :Miracles” ended, I am more certain of it.
The mother. Despite what others are claiming and last moments of Season 3 that left me screaming “NOOOOOOOOOOO….this went on a while….OOOOO!!”, I still stand by my post about what we know about “the mother”. Despite how I love Sarah Chalke, I still feel confident that Stella is not the mother! (…pssst…the mom’s name is Tracy!)
It’s also always nice to see the awesomeness poster..even if it was only for a fleeting moment….
Well I suppose that is a small episode recap…coupled with bragging and link dropping. Until Later, Be Awesome Instead.

Do you have trouble concentrating while using your computer? Fell as though your just haven’t accomplished as much since leaving the womb? Do you just hate people and thrive on the new wave of anti-social behavior associated with technology? Or maybe you just hate sunlight? Well whatever your reason we now have the solution! New from Stern lab, the Body-Laptop Interface!
I thought at first someone had some issues removing their sweater…but no there is even a pattern on the website!
More photos are available on my favorite photo sharing site, flickr.
The pattern to make your own can be found here.
The number you need to have a friend dial after wearing this for more than 15 minutes is 911.
Creativity can be so humorous sometimes. I wonder if one of these could block the voices I hear in my head…hmm.

I’m pretty sure that the water I was drinking came out my nose when I heard the tile of this article (sorry for the grotesque mental image)… Anyway, I also told my wife about it, and I am certain my marriage was in jeopardy for a moment, until she read the article.
“Great tits cope well with warming”… Now before you get all excited it is about birds (guys everywhere go “oh.”) To be precise the article is about how these particular birds the great tit of Britain…lol I said great tit of Britain, sorry) are coping with global warming, climate change..or whatever all the “cool” (or warm” kids are calling it these days. One has to wonder how long they thought about the title before publishing, although it is an ingenious marketing ploy, I wonder how many views it would get with a different title… Enjoy.
