I was looking for a podcasting mic and I found this by accident: 

Skype Phone & Mouse in 1 - Yappermouse - VoIP Phones - Deals Direct Australia

Just what everyone wants, a corded mouse that doubles as a VOIP telephone handset….note again it’s a corded mouse.

But it gets better, the mouse vibrates!

This is just bizarre…apparently he’s on ER now, I’d think as a mental patient.

This is insane. And yet amazing at the same time.

What the?

From news.com.au:

THOUSANDS of Japanese have been swindled in a scam in which they were sold Australian and British sheep and told they were poodles…

The scam was uncovered when Japanese film star Maiko Kawamaki went on a talk-show and wondered why her new pet would not bark or eat dog food.

She was crestfallen when told it was a sheep.

Hundreds of other women got in touch with police to say they feared their new “poodle” was also a sheep.

One couple said they became suspicious when they took their “dog” to have its claws trimmed and were told it had hooves.

Police believe there could be 2000 people affected by the scam.

Have you been sold a sheep thinking it was a poodle…or a cat, or even a bird? Or perhaps your poodle bleats and shits all over the place?

This has got to top the weird news stories for 2007.

Looks like Crikey was right: Jabba the Hut is going to Rome. Lock up the spaghetti bars, arm the pizza joints, Mandy Vandy is now Australian Ambassador to Italy. Is she sings “Under Southern Stars” more than once during her stay I’m predicting war between Australia and Italy shortly there after…and I’d be forced to side with the Italians. Mama Mia!

Worth a laugh:

According to the SMH, this is a picture of French Presidential Candidate Nicolas Sarkozy on the campaign trail. Gotta love the tractor:

From the SMH:

Tourism New Zealand has admitted it digitally enhanced the latest images of scenic New Zealand spots in its 100 per cent Pure New Zealand campaign.

No word yet if it was a matter of just cutting out the sheep

I always find it interesting when people say stuff they shouldn’t, then try to undo the damage by deleting the post, ignoring the fact that RSS leaves a trail. And no, for the record I generally don’t delete stuff, although I do often regret writing some of it, but hey, I’m also smart enough to know someone will notice me deleting a post I’ve just written.

Anyhow, looks like Mr Shoemoney himself had a change of heart, because this post got deleted:
