The McBournie Minute: The phone case that will shock you

There was a time, if you can think back that far, where people had to share a phone line. In fact, there were even people with party lines, which was basically sharing a phone number with your neighbor (despite the inherent creepiness, this really did exist). Then came the cellular telephone, and everything changed.

They didn’t really catch on until the phones were made affordable and there were actually networks providing signals, but eventually the ball got rolling. For years, there was a great battle between people who had cell phones, and those who didn’t. Now, if you don’t have one, people assume you’re either a senior citizen or just got mugged.

It’s amazing what phones can do these days, but they’re about to do stuff like follow your eyes. Continue reading The McBournie Minute: The phone case that will shock you

Dentists are bad people and they should feel bad

Dentists are a bunch of jerk. There are only two kinds of people that enjoy going to the dentist: masochists and other masochists. Even other dentists hate going to the dentist.

That’s why it should be no surprise that a dentist is scaring kids. Well, outside of it normally happening.

A billboard advertising a prosthodontics service shows the benefits of the treatment (think going from The Walking Dead to The Smiling Alive). Apparently, the parents of a Georgia daycare must be in a great need of new teeth, as the billboard was placed right next to the daycare. This has caused the kids to be slightly more fearful of living in the state of Georgia than normally. Worse, it’s prevented some of the kids from wanting to partake in recess.

This shall not stand! No child should ever deny himself the greatest of all classroom periods: recess! Take down that billboard and place it somewhere else, advertisers! I’m sure there’s somewhere in Norcross, much less the entire state, that could benefit from it.

Next time, Mr. Bond

The U.K. is slowly calming down after a scare that it was being invaded by crocs.

Last week, a retiree was out riding his bike along the River Thames, better known as that river that flows through London, when he saw a crocodile in the river. This set off a wave of panic throughout the country, as citizens rightfully wondered if the animals were going after the royal family. But, as it turns out, it was just a fake gator used in Live and Let Die, you know, the James Bond movie that takes place in Louisiana.

The prop, which was used in the scene where Roger Moore runs across the backs of gators, was stored on an island by a man who worked on several Bond films, and likely washed away during recent flooding.

Had the Thames gator, or croc, or whatever, been the real deal, we’re sure that Bond would have handled it.
