Next, he will be Snoop Mountain Lion







The Mac OS versions are named after big game cats: they recently upgraded from "Lion" to "Mountain Lion." Before that, the versions (from newest to oldest) were Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger, Panther, Jaguar, Puma, and Cheetah.

Here is a response from Buckyballs CEO


Interesting related article.

Dogs are statistically over 120 times more dangerous than Buckyball magnet sets. According to the CDC, out of a population of 100,000 there were 129.3 dog bite related injuries treated in emergency hospital rooms.

Tennis injuries are estimated to be 1,228 per a population of 100,000 making Tennis an astonishing 1,228 times more dangerous than Buckyballs. Soccer, Cheerleading, poisoning through common household chemicals are all over 1,000 times more dangerous than Buckyballs. Skateboarding is 890 times more dangerous.

Well, this just sucks. I just wrote a brilliant well thought-out response to the article pointing out the flaws in the numbers, but it all disappeared (my error).

Bottom line:
  • The reference to 475.2 million balls (216 per set x 2.2 million sets "in circulation") is pointless. However, he bases his comparisons on the 2.2 million sets, so I will overlook this.
  • The numbers do not take into account (for example) the number of dogs (78.2 million according to the Humane Society) as compared to the number of Buckyball sets.
  • The tennis comparison is completely incorrect because it is a well known fact that most people blame their masturbation injuries on tennis.
That being said, Buckyballgate is ridiculous - people need to take responsibility for their own stupidity and stop blaming others.

The thing about this story is, that's one HORRIBLE lie if the officers are lying. Which leaves me inclined to believe they're telling the truth. I mean, can someone REALLY tell that dumb of a cover up story?

My best guess...small derringer type pistol in the back of his waistband got missed in the patdown, he pulls it, tries to shoot a window out, bullet ricochets off bullet proof window (or some other part of the car if the windows isn't bullet proof and his aim was just bad from behind his back with cuffs on) and hit him in the head.

Some executive at Little Baby's Ice Cream thought this would make their ice cream seem appealing?!?

BTW: Love Lickers is just as bad. I like the comment on the page:
Somewhere, in an ad agency, sits a smug asshole believing they are "creative."

Theyll get plenty of views - cant say the same for sales.

The sploshing* crowd must love it.

I don't think that's even ice cream. It looks like marshmellow fluff to me. That's about as unappealing as they come. Which I think she (?) did right after filming that...
