Today we offer gadgets, games and guns (well sort of). And for all of you anxiously awaiting the results of my soccer match…. We lost 10-2. Apparently the top half of the division is young, fit, and practicing regularly. We are not in the top half. Bring on the consolation bracket! And bring on the rest of The Grind……
Who remembers the "Someone Else’s Problem" field from Douglas Adams? Seems that scientists are learning what the Hitchhikers gang knew all along. People don’t see things that simply don’t fit. This article is pretty amazing. People failed to notice a woman in a gorrila suit walking through a basketball game? I’d like to think I’m more observant but then again….

Once is an accident. Six times is a stunt worthy of "Jackass". Kids, I can’t stress this enough. When playing with your nail guns at home please point it AWAY FROM YOUR OWN HEAD! You may not be as lucky as this gentleman.
Seems file swappers aren’t the only ones ripping off musicians. In the midst of its crusade against file sharing, it seems the members of the RIAA "forgot" to distribute $50 million in royalties to various recording artists big and small. Perhpas their legal fund will dry up a little now.
Guess the logo. Fun game to test your knowledge of fast food logos. Some of them may be regional and therefore trickier but its a fun time never the less. Post your scores as a comment if you dare.
And finally….
Being a smartass has some advantages. I offer the same advice here as I did for the nail gun. Don’t try this at home. Police and the courts tend to take a dim view of sarcasm in my experience. Then again, if you do try it let me know. I am about due for another speeding ticket.
There you have it. The daily Grind. And remember, please wait at least 30 minutes after reading before you go swimming.
