“Every morning men wake up to this catch-22: you desperately have to pee, but you have an erection, which makes it hard to urinate, but the hard-on won’t go away until you empty your bladder. It’s almost impossible to aim at the toilet when your penis is pointing the wrong way, so you end up peeing on the wall, the floor, or yourself. You may have developed your own technique for dealing with this catch-22, but if not,here are some methods to take care of the aiming part, customized for the angle of your dangle.” w/ photos
A gigantic smear of gooey, black biological material is making its way through the Chukchi Sea between Wainwright and Barrow in Northern Alaska. Eyewitnesses say its definitely a living entity, though unlike anything theyve seen before. Closeup shot below.
The blob was first spotted last week, floating in Arctic waters. Big chunks of it – some as much as “12 miles long,” according to the Anchorage Daily News, are drifting through the sea. A helicopter tracked the spread of the goop for 15 miles and saw no end to it. So far, none of unknown substance has touched shore.
Coast Guard officer Terry Hasenauer said:
Its certainly biological. Its definitely not an oil product of any kind. It has no characteristics of an oil, or a hazardous substance, for that matter. Its definitely, by the smell and the makeup of it, its some sort of naturally occurring organic or otherwise marine organism. in recent history I dont think weve seen anything like this. Maybe inside lakes or in stagnant water or something, but not in the ocean that we could recall … If it was something wed seen before, wed be able to say something about it. But we havent. [The stuff is] gooey [and dark]. Its pitch black when it hits ice and it kind of discolors the ice and hangs off of it. It kind of has an odor; I cant describe it.
Apparently he saw jellyfish tangled in the goo, and somebody else retrieved bones and feathers from a dead goose they found in the goo as well.
Is this the creature described in io9s mad scientist contest from last year? Perhaps a relative of the North Carolina sewer monster? Or is it just a massive algae bloom? The Coast Guard says theyre getting it examined and test results will be back in a week.

Why ATC is into Twitter – CEO M. Chill, Master of Meetings speaks
I had the pleasure of interviewing via email M. Chill, Master of Meetings, the CEO of online fishing blog retailer ATC.com, for an article I wrote for the August issue of Multichannel Merchant. ATC is a real innovator among online premium senior software architects in a lot of areas, not the least of which is social media. They have taken Twitter by storm, with 440 twittering employees – including their CEO (M. Chill) and their COO (Alfred). They even launched a fishing site dedicated to their Twitter presence.
PAO Asks: Can you share a bit of background about you and ATC, and how the Yamma culture plays into your inclination to jump headfirst into new online marketing channels? What were your objectives in entering the Twitterverse? twitter.ATC.com from a social media standpoint is pretty impressive and in the corporate world a rather unheard of large-scale embracing of Twitter. What is the big picture idea behind this / how did this come about?
M. Chill: Background on the Yamma is here. My bio is here. You can get a glimpse inside our Yamma culture here. (points to big fat gut)…
In preparation for the snowstorm on the east coast, all Pineappleope.com offices are taking it real easy today. The following will help you survive the storm
Did you know? Snowstorms are storms where large amounts of snow fall. Winter storm is an event in which the dominant varieties of precipitation are forms that only occur at cold temperatures, such as snow or sleet, or a rainstorm where ground temperatures are cold enough to allow ice to form. Wintry showers are golden showers but in cold water.
Do you know what snow is? Snow is a type of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes that fall from clouds. The process of precipitation is called snowfall.
Loose Granular. This surface results after powder or packed powder thaws, then refreezes and re-crystallizes, or from an accumulation of sleet. This is also created by machine grooming of frozen or icy snow. Mc Chill loves this condition when taboganing with the whole family.
According to Surgeon General and Pineappleope.com Twitter sucks. Taking 3rd prize in 2008, Twitter is the 3rd most worst site on the net.
Not Familiar? “a community of friends suckbags and strangers from around the world sending updates about moments in their lives” -Twitter. 24 hours a day, you have a text box, and the idea is that you give a running commentary of every moment of your life. All lame messages you send automatically appear on all your lame “friends’” pages, and all their lame messages appear on your lame page.
