The Internets Love Robots - Five Second Rule Edition

Slow Monday here at BOTI world HQ.  I just (accidentally) spend a half hour on the toilet with my Nintendo DS and came back to zero messages.  That's... good?

Sure when you turn eighteen you can buy porn and vote (but not drink), but I don't think you really reach adulthood until you find yourself at Home Depot at 8:00a on a Sunday morning contemplating what kind of grass seed to purchase.

Food & Drink

  • I basically quit drinking 'real' soda after I finally understood that, at 200 calories a pop, drinking carbonated sludge would not further my goal of actually fitting in my pants.  I still love the stuff though and every once in a while I'll order something exotic from Sodafinder, a site Drmorley dug up some years ago.  The proprietor is kind of a dick, but where else am I supposed to find Cherry Lemon Sundrop in Chicago?  Bonus soda link:  Orange Soda has ridicoulous amounts of sugar in it.
  • I was about to write something pity about Zagats recently released ratings of fast food and chain restaurants, but the main site is behind a paywall.  Tsk, tsk Zagats.  Trying to keep your dead tree edition relevant in a digital world is not the way to go.  See also:  Newspapers.  The entry for one of my old clients, Bob Evans, amused me: (fucking PDF won't let me cut and paste and there's no way I'm going to transcribe it manually.  One more example of Zagats' irrelevancy.  DL the PDFs if you're really interested).
  • Is the five second rule a myth?  Answer:  Kinda
