Boldly Protecting Christmas!

Hat tip and link to The Dave Casper Experience for this week's (slightly early) Friday Funny.

Fri... er, Saturday Funny

Hat tip to ysmarko, here's a mashup of Home Alone and I Am Legend. If you've seen the latter and remember the former, hopefully you'll find this as funny as I did.

What's Your Album Cover?

Since I'm at work and don't have access to Photoshop or anything similar, I will simply offer a tip of the hat to Nick at The World According to Nick for today's Friday Funny, and tell you how to find everything you need to make your own random album cover in three easy steps!

Step One:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is your band name.

Step Two:
http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote will be your album title.

Step Three:
http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture (no matter what it is) will be your cover art.

So, there you go. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow I'll have one up for all of you to enjoy.

The iPhone's biggest drawback...

according to Elliot at From Where I Sit. Go read. You'll laugh, I promise. And if not, well... I can't help you.

Dude, It's Time to Move On

Another story from Reuters for you, this one involving a 61 year old man who not only still lives with his mother, but receives an allowance from her as well. While the article does point out that it is not uncommon for men in Italy to live at home until well into their thirties, this guy is WAY past that mark, and past the age when he should be supporting himself. At the very least, he should be chipping in for household expenses.

In the interest of full disclosure, I'm 25, and share an apartment with my mother, who is turning 48 on Sunday (although if you saw her, you'd probably call me a liar to my face). I don't make much money but I do chip in as much as I can, and help out with household duties. I can cook, I can clean, I do windows, all that jazz. Sorry ladies, I'm not in the market. :-D

Squirrels Like Chocolate?

At least one does. Reuters brings us the story of a squirrel in Helsinki who visits a local grocery store at least twice a day for "Kinder Surprise," chocolate shelled eggs with a toy inside. Reportedly, the squirrel shows no interest in the toy inside, and also does not clean up after itself. More's the pity.

As a side note, this is the first in what will (hopefully) become a weekly feature here at According to Coop, called Friday Funnies. This is a feature I've ported over from my "other" blog, While Rome Burns, which deals with issues within the Christian church, and the Christian blogosphere.
