So I am told that 27 years ago today I was born into this world. I say “I am told”, because who knows if I can trust my parents… They lied to me about Santa and the Easter bunny for years.
This really isn’t a milsetone, but then again milestones are arbitrary anyway. If we [...]
As recommended by a friend and source of always different and enjoyable reading/viewing material, I recently started watching “True Blood”. For those of you that haven’t seen it, I will try not to issue too many spoilers, at least none that a pre-pubescent goth freak couldn’t grasp about 12.5 minutes into the first episode.
The [...]
The other day in the paper there was an article about a 22 year old English man who died due to liver failure. The doctors were quoted as saying “He had the worst case of cirrhosis they have ever seen”. In fact his alcohol consumption was so bad that he was denied a liver transplant on the [...]
I hate “Top” lists. I do. All of them. I’ve hated them since before Letterman tried to make them his own, and I hate them even more now when webpages take 10 links to show 10 pictures of the top 10 potentially homophobic animated characters as judged by someone with the television knowledge of my [...]
It was recently announced that 1 month ago perennial Stoss Blog antagonist Twitter had a security breach when a high ranking executive’s account was accessed by a “hacker”. The hacker correctly guessed the users’s secret security questions to gain access to the account then surfed through corporate data and released it to well known techie [...]
Today I show you some advertisements that came from marketing departments that are seemingly run by monkeys who are either 40 years older or younger than their target audience and/or have IQs in the single digits.
Is it McDonald's?
This ad advertises that mayonnaise and chicken “is McDonald’s”. Correct me if I am wrong, [...]
I mentioned briefly in my last post about the Swine Flu. And today I read that Air Transat and other airlines have suspended flights! Has this world gone mad?!
Swine Flu World Wide Stats
This picture was in the UK morning paper. Notice that the only place that has any deaths in it is [...]
Chapter 3 – 5:
We join the book with a new hypothesis from Mr Keen. Because some people lie on the Internet, we cannot be sure if anything is truth and therefore it is all invalid. Solid idea. Applying this to elsewhere in the world: Because airplanes crash no one should fly, because some people [...]
Sometimes I get to work before anyone else, not because I am overly keen, but I live an 8 minute walk away… Pretty hard to blame traffic.
When I do this I do not turn on the 57 fluorescent lights that line our ceiling so I can sit at my desk in the very back [...]
Yesterday after a meeting in London and a couple of pints I was approached by a 20-something woman who asked if I had a moment. I certainly did have a moment, so here is our (annotated and slightly abridged) conversation:
Woman – “I work for Amnesty International and they are doing a £27,000 ($50,000 CDN) [...]

A Thought Stoss.ca: If you know me, then you should care about my opinion and then ignore it immediately. If you don't then I don't care what you do...
