Complaint #661

Sent by Danny

Note: Picture is 100% related. Christopher Clancy (who may or may not have been conceived on the Red October) used six cans of gasoline to set his former high school ablaze and cause over $1.3 million in damages, all while rocking a sweet Joker costume and videotaping the act with his cell phone. Somebody get this man on the honor roll!

He smashed in a glass door and proceeded to spill the contents of one can along the corridor. He then lit the petrol and escaped from the school. "He was dressed up as The Joker from 'Batman'," said Gda Ganny. "He then told us to go around the corner and we would see what he had done." He purchased the jerry cans over a five-week period and hid them in the bushes near the school. He bought 100 litres of petrol from a nearby petrol station. He told gardai: "I am glad I did it because the people will realise they can't treat students as sub-human."

The judge in the case called this a "one-off incident," and seemed inclined to be lenient - she ordered Clancy to get medical help and postponed sentencing until October. Clancy is currently planning to attend the Dun Laoghaire College of Art and Design in September. Medical help and postponed sentencing?! Why didn't I set my high school on fire?! Because I was home-schooled and wouldn't have had a place to live? I know, I know, I should've done it anyways. Teen dressed as the Joker burns down his high school in Ireland for "hypocrisy" [io9] Thanks to [S]d:G, who dressed as Mr. Freeze and froze his middle school for getting made fun of when he could only do two pull-ups in gym.

This is an amazingly well-shot music video of a flamethrower vs. fire extinguisher battle for the Dancing Pigeon's 'Ritalin'. God, I can't even count how many of those things I put up my nose in college. ZERO -- MY BODY IS A TEMPLE! Of doom. Back me up, Indiana. Anyway, this shit looks straight out of one of my nightmares, complete with inbred protagonists and slow-motion effects. Needless to say, I loved (myself to) every second of it. Hit it for the very worthwhile video. Vimeo Thanks to Jason, who can summon a rainstorm with a special dance because the man has magical feet.

Seen here using a remarkably small font for a 400-year old, Ivy Bean, the world's oldest Twitter user, has passed away. Her tweets, and old-lady aroma, will be missed.

From the two-story care home where she lived in the northern English city of Bradford, 104-year-old Ivy Bean would tell her nearly 57,000 Twitter followers around the world what she did each day -- from eating fish and chips to sitting in the garden. Bean's online activity drew headlines in recent years because of her age, and she had been called the world's oldest Twitter user, though that is difficult to verify. She became a member of Facebook at age 102, but she quickly migrated to Twitter because it was easier, she said, and because she could have more followers. She had maxed out her friend limit on Facebook. Earlier this year, Bean tweeted that she had 25,000 pending friend requests.

Wait -- WHAT?! This ol' lady had 25,000 Facebook friend requests and I have to sell my ass on the street like a f***ing hotdog vendor to get you to join the Geekologie Facebook page? WHAT DOES SHE HAVE THAT I DON'T?! Style and grace? Okay what else? Dentures? Pfft -- you think I won't knock all my teeth out?! Somebody gimme an ice-skate, I'm about to 'Cast Away' this shit. R.I.P. Ivy Ivy Bean, 'world's oldest Twitter user,' dead at 104 [cnn] and The Geekologie Facebook Page, WHICH YOU WILL JOIN Thanks to DC_Dewd, who may or may not have cybered with her at some point (he says he did).

Largest private collection of CPUs has been discovered upon one Russian guy has posted a message on a forum. His message says "here is my humble collection for you" and then listed something more than one thousand of different types of computer processors he collected. There are ones from the old times and as well as modern ones, the lost and seemed never coming back relics of Soviet Russian genuine processors that preceded Intel world dominance and many other interesting findings he had.read more..

The Logo Design series is up and running! We're thinking ahead and we want to find new ways to sort these listings. Last week we had a post on logos with clouds... today it's all about logos with wings!

<!--break-->

As usual, we'll search for logos in these galleries: Logopond, Logo Faves, Logo Moose, Logo from Dreams, Logo Gala, WS Logos, The Logo Mix and Wolda. We hope you all enjoy our selection! Cheers. ;)

PS.: Got cool ideas for sorting? Tell us! ;)

Oil is no longer gushing into the Gulf, but the danger of the spill flowing freely once again remains. BP plans to take another stab at plugging the well permanently next week with the so-called "static kill" procedure--sending heavy mud down into the capped well--followed by a "permanent kill," which will hopefully seal the Macondo well permanently with mud, cement, and other substances deposited into a relief well. But not everyone is convinced that the static kill procedure will work. And if it fails, it could have disastrous consequences.

The danger, according to Zero Hedge, is of an underground blowout, defined by Wikipedia as "a special situation where fluids from high pressure zones flow uncontrolled to lower pressure zones within the wellbore. Usually this is from deeper higher pressure zones to shallower lower pressure formations." Zero Hedge explains:

One oil industry veteran engineer describes to me an underwater blowout (UGBO) as quite plausible, with the well being capped plus the static kill adding pressure from the top. That is, capping the well might not be such good news. The more they try to restrict the oil gush, the more pressure could be built up within the wellbore (like a soda can). The increasing pressure could eventually push the leak below leading to a UGBO.

If there is an UGBO, it could potentially cause the seafloor to shift. And that could trigger even more oil to shoot to the ocean's surface, possibly followed by a massive eruption of hot mud (an UGBO in Indonesia has reportedly created a mudflow so big that it is visible from space).

This is all pure speculation, of course. There has never been a deepwater UGBO before--but then again, there has never been an oil disaster of this type and magnitude before either. Still, it's a situation to watch out for in the coming days as BP resumes operations.

Check out the Keith Olbermann segment below for more context.

You thought they were made in a factory, didn't you? Well they kind of are. THE ALIEN PAIN FACTORY! That's right -- tetrominoes are actually Space Invader penises. Who knew?

As Chatroulette becomes a destination for pervs, vChatter has built a family-friendly alternative that's popular among Asian families and migrant laborers.

If Chatroulette had been launched in Asia instead of the U.S., it might look a lot like vChatter. Founded by a group of Indian and American entrepreneurs who previously made a matrimonial match-making app for Facebook, the service has become popular among Filipino and Indonesian families and migrant laborers spread across the globe.

Although Andrey Ternovskiy has been promising some kind of penis-detection technology that would clean up his popular Chatroulette service, so far it's still dominated by wankers. And that's created an opportunity for family-friendly services like vChatter, which has attracted 1.5 million active monthly users. So far about 6 million video calls have been made using vChatter and average time on the site is 5 minutes.

The founders, Hitesh Parashar, Dan Owen, and Will Bunker, specifically developed vChatter as a G-rated version of Chatroulette. But there is a key difference:

vChatter operates within a social container. Using the user’s friend list, a Facebook member can either invite a friend to log on for a video or text-only live chat, or chat with a random fellow Facebook member on the site.

"One interesting thing I noticed when I saw the sudden adoption in the United Arab Emirates was that it was driven mainly by the overseas Filipino workers who got invited to vChatter by their wives and families in the Philippines," says Parashar. "It is used by many families now to remain in touch as people travel everywhere. I observed a similar user cluster that formed in Los Angeles and around because of a huge Philippino population over there.”

Still, vChatter is being monitored for any inappropriate behavior in an effort to keep the public channels clean. "We are determined to make it a safe and enjoyable experience for our users,” says Parashar.

Welcome to the sixth edition of Be Inspired! So this week I’m guessing I’m feeling in a bit of an illustrative mood because it seems to have added up many illustration but maybe that’s just what was presented to me in my RSS reader, which is Fever by the way.

This is a Batpod replica (not to be confused with this Batpod replica) spotted in the wild near Mountain View, California. But as you'll see in the other pics, it actually has Florida tags -- and you all know what that means: no helmet laws! You can smash your brain up all you want and the man won't even give a dang. Freedom! FREEDOM! On a side note, does anybody else think it looks kinda like a Speeder Bike from Star Wars? No, just me? Cool. HOLY SHIT BATMAN IS BLACK. Hit the jump for four more shots of the impressiveness. Best. Motorcycle. Ever. [reddit] via Epic Chopper of the Day [thedailywh.at] Thanks to Brandon, who bought the guy a custom, "if you can read this, Robin fell off" jacket.
