Brand new ipad getting smashed by a baseball bat (via THISisCaSpEr)


The cheapest iPad is $500 plus sales tax. Assuming that the iPad that they destroyed was functional (for all we know it was a display unit) it means that their idea of fun is to spend $500 on something, then smash it. It could be worse, they could have spent the $500 in heroin or cocaine and went off on a bender. 


On the other hand, they could have sent the $500 to a child sponsorship charity, from 5 minutes of Googling I found plenty that will sponsor a kid for around $22/month, so these $500 could have easily kept 20-something children fed, clothed and in school for a month. Then they could have made a web page called “Here, Apple, not buying your $500 iPad means we got to feed, clothe and teach 20 kids for a month.”


Instead, they smashed the hell out of it with a bat.

On sleep deprivation and Incan Monkey Gods

From: Dilbert comic strip for 08/03/1992 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive. I was trying to show this strip to a coworker who is dangerously toying with the harsh mistress that is Insomnia. What shocked me is how quickly I was able to look up the strip, which was published when he was just 11 years old, and two weeks before my just-out-of-college ass shipped out to US Army Basic Training.

The Black Hole

If this was a minigolf hole, you can't reach B from A. Ever. If this was a room lined with mirrors, and you lit a candle at point A, you can't see it from B, not even reflected.  Update: I guess I didn't explain this all the way through. You can't reach B from A with just one stroke, there's no direct line between them, and there is no way to bounce the ball (assuming perfect conditions). Thanks to Ben for pointing this obvious error.
