Same S#%t Different Toilet....

These are some photos I took of the Men's Bathroom signs around Cal State Los Angeles...
Can you guess where each Bathrooms signs belong to???

I wanted to take pictures of the Women's Bathroom signs, but I didn't want to look like a "Smut Peddler."

Don't quit your Day Job...

Have you ever wondered what are your chances on becoming a billionaire???

Let's do some quick math, there's roughly close to 6.75 billion people living on earth, and there's only 950 people who are billionaires in the world. If you do the math there's approximately a 1 in 7 million chances of you becoming the next billionaire. If you live in the U.S, your chances are better there's a 1 in 800,000 chance on becoming a billionaire.

Some people have a hard time visualizing how much one billion dollars is (including myself). Here's a poster that illustrates how much one billion dollars is really worth and how it relates to our world.

One way of getting a billion dollars is by gathering 590 of your guy friends lifetime income or 768 of your girlfriends lifetime income.

It's shocking and depressing to see how much money is being unnecessary spent in the War for "Black Gold" (Iraq), no wonder why the economy is going down the toilet.

The Future in Car Display Panels...

2010 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan hybrids, will include an Eco-friendly/smart efficient instrument display panel (pause). As usual, you will be able to see the speedometer in the middle, but on either side, there will be video screens displaying several Eco-friendly animations, to clearly show you charts and graphs on how your cars is destroying the planet.

The system lets you decide how much information you want to see. It can display such data as battery charge status, engine output power, and amount of power applied to the wheel. If you become overwhelmed by the information, you change the display settings to show you basic info such as how many miles until your tank is empty.

Hopefully, this can help spread more Global Warming awareness to commuters around the world. The display panel reminds of Windows Media play skin.

Marijuana More Potent than Ever....

Some call it, Chronic, Grass, Hash, Herb, Mary Jane, Pot, Reefer, Skunk, or Weed. These leafy green plants, are the most commonly illicit drug used in the United States, according to the U.S Dept. of Justice. The main active chemical in marijuana is THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). Of the roughly 400 chemicals found in the cannabis plant, THC affects the brain the most. Marijuana plant growers and breeders try to cultivate the most potent "pot" possible, by any means necessary. Some drug dealers are even spraying several amounts of "Fly Spray" into marijuana plants to increase potency.

According to a study done by the University of Mississippi Potency Monitoring Program, the potency of marijuana has increased nearly tripled since 1987, and as demand continues for the ultimate high that pot can provide, it looks as though that percentage will be increasing further. Smoking one marijuana cigarette deposits about four times more tar into the lungs than a filtered tobacco cigarette.

About a 6 years ago, I smoked some "Amnesia Haze" from Amsterdam with one of my friends from Venice, his girlfriend happens to be a writer for the "HIGH TIMES" magazine. That was the best marijuana I've ever smoked, I went to sleep for about two hours, it was real strong.

I used to smoke weed back in my days, but nothing comes close to that Amsterdam "Amnesia Haze." I don't smoke weed anymore, for several reasons. People are just smoking chemicals.

A good friend of mine used to smoke weed 3 times a day, since 1999, now he's schizophrenic and living on the streets. These are some the harsh realities of smoking weed, be careful if you smoke weed Jimmy Moss.
