I love projects like this! This pattern took roughly 1 CSI and one Law & Order episode to knit up! :)

Cat-A-Pult
Do cats really always land on their feet? With the Cat-A-Pult you can put the old saying to the test by flinging felines across the room. Just load one of the 1-3/8' (3.5 cm) plastic cats into the 5-3/4' (14.6 cm) plastic shooting device and pull the trigger! It's the best thing since cat juggling! 4 cats included.
Things We Will Never See On Star Trek
To give you a sample of what's on this list:
- Kirk meets a woman whom he's known for years but never had sex with.
- Sulu and Chekov get to do something interesting.
- The deflector shields hold through the duration of the battle.
- Picard ignores Troi and blows the enemy out of the sky, in spite of their "distressed" feelings.
- A crewman getting addicted to living out violent and or sexual fantasies on the holodeck and having to be forceably removed.
Dumb Computers
Computer scientist Arthur Boran developed amongst other unusual programs, one known as IDMBH - an acronym for I did my best, honest! Not only has IDMBH thus far failed to solve a single problem or even retrieve one piece of data, it has also generated an impressive variety of inane excuses, ranging from I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WANTED IT TODAY to THE DOG ERASED IT.

Copyleft
In a recent interview with C|net, Bill Gates made the statement "There are some new modern-day sort of communists who want to get rid of the incentive for musicians and moviemakers and software makers under various guises." As if money is the only plausible motivator for people.
There have been many wonderful responses to this interview - such as Dan Gilmor's and this article and this one on BoingBoing.

Effects of the Tusanami on the Earth Minor
Not meaning to sound insensitive about the tusanami's awful effects we have heard about, but I was a little surprised that I hadn't heard through my usual media sources more about the ramifications of the fact that the deadly tusanmi caused the earth to wobble & tilt a little. I'm not the most connected of people events-wise at times, so it could very well just be me.
At any rate, I did manage to hunt down this article which did offer a brief explanation of the apparently minimal effect of shortening days by a fraction of a second.

What kind of coffee are you?
I am a Double espresso at three AM:
You are the tortured, nail-biting essence of coffee. You see visions. You could change the world if only you were up at the same time as everyone else. You have created a programming language that throws errors if the code is not written in iambic pentameter, and you are infuriated by the typos in the new edition of Ulysses. You practice sarcasm as a form of tantric sex, and your cats have doctorates. You believe in virgin sacrifice in a good cause.
Take the quiz for yourself
