Texting has had an incredibly positive effect on society. Rather than have a conversation face to face, or even have to hear the other person’s stupid voice, we can just send a horribly abbreviated message from the office, the car or even the toilet.
However, it seems there might be one single problem for this gift to humanity: we have trouble seeing where we are going. Apparently the problem is so bad that people in the U.K. keep injuring themselves by walking into lampposts and other obstacles on the average sidewalk. One in ten people over there has that problem, so the a charity is testing out padding on lampposts to help cushion the blow.
This blog just thinks most of the injuries are related to their complicated motor vehicle and foot traffic patterns.

SeriouslyGuys reader, are you Italian? Are you also female? Do you want to cheat on your husband? Then prepare to greet your newest right while under an oath of law: lying! Recently, a precedent was set in Italian courts that a wife could “bend the truth” while under oath if she was attempting to conceal her own extra-marital affair, all in the attempts of preserving her family’s honor. It’s got all the legal confusion of a Florida lawsuit, except with sex instead of hip replacements.
“It is not yet clear whether the ruling might also apply to men who have secret mistresses.”
Sorry guys of Italy. Progress takes a long time to move.

This just in: Kentucky has the Internet.
However, at least one of their lawmakers doesn’t “get” it: “Kentucky Representative Tim Couch filed a bill this week to make anonymous posting online illegal.”
The bill would require all Web sites to force anyone submitting content to register with their full name, address and email address. Any sites that publish comments from the elusive Anonymous will receive fines ranging from $500-1000.
Who would be hit hardest by this bill? Day planners and poetry Web sites, of course. Also affected would be any site publishing the work of anonymous bard William Shakespeare, whoever the hell that was; Mark Twain (real full name: Samuel Clemmons); and the Federalist Papers.
To file your anonymous complaints, be sure to comment on the linked story.

It’s March folks, and that means two things and two things only: NCAA Tournament and vasectomies.
A clinic in Oregon came up with the brilliant cross-marketing plan to tie in sitting in front of the TV after a vasectomy to the NCAA Tournament. I’m sure that there is a “cut the ties then watch them down the net” joke somewhere in this, I’m just not sure where.

There are a lot of people out there that just have to have the latest and greatest thing. They have to have the coolest new gadgets as soon as they are willing to wait in line for hours just to be among the first to get it. These people have never really made that much sense to me.
It just doesn’t pay to be an early adopter. Remember everyone who bought the first copies of Windows Vista? Aside from all of the bugs that have been mostly fixed in the past year, have you heard anyone who actually likes the operating system? Even so, Microsoft announced last week it would take the unprecedented step of slashing prices on versions of Vista. This means that if you waited, you could get the same OS for less cash. Read more
