Michael Jordan look-alike sues NBA super star

A Portland, Ore., man is suing Michael Jordan and Nike founder Phil Knight for a combined $832 million. Allen Heckard filed suit, contending he has been mistaken for Jordan nearly every day for 15 years and he's tired of it. "I'm constantly being accused of looking like Michael, and it makes it very uncomfortable for me," Heckard said. Heckard is suing Jordan for defamation and permanent injury and emotional pain and suffering. He's suing Knight for defamation and permanent injury for promoting Jordan. At 6 feet tall, Heckard is 6 inches shorter than Jordan. But he does bear a resemblance with a shaved head, an earring in his left ear and conditioning from, yes, playing basketball. How he decided to sue for $416 million each? "Well, you figure with my age and you multiply that times seven and, ah, then I turn around and, ah, I figure that's what it all boils down to."

Spiderman (Made in Japan)

Apparently Japan had Spiderman TV series a long time ago. And of course, since this is their own version of Spiderman, they gave him a giant robot to fight against giant monsters (yup, for some odd reason all his enemies are giant monsters)..

Funny thing is, you'd think that Spiderman's robot would (at least) look like him or maybe a spider. Heh apparently it doesn't look like him at all..It just looks like...Well, looks like any other giant robots.

So are you, like, the computer dude or sumthin'...?

This morning my friend emailed me about the recent event that just took place at his workplace. I seriously couldn't stop laughing after reading his email.. It was just too funny and sad at the same time. So I decided to post it here (and yes, I took out all the references to him, his company, and all that crap). So here it is...

So, remember that pot-smoking temp who last month approached me and said, "Are you the computer dude? Dude, my computer's broke."

Well, about an hour and a half ago i get an urgent call from my network security consultant. He is freaking and - since he is normally cooler than the other side of the pillow - when he freaks, there is cause for concern.

It seems a computer on our network with a certain IP address has been camping at myspace.com, become infected with a nasty trojan through a backdoor, and all keystrokes on that machine are being recorded and transmitted... And that machine accesses an important database. After feverishly hunting through the network, i discover and unplug her machine; trojan horse network traffic immediately goes dead.

As i start to run the virus scan on her machine, she returns from lunch. I inform her that her machine is compromising security and that i have pulled it from the network. She looks at me then and says, "So does that mean i can't access hotmail?"
