Available emblems of belief for US govt headstones
Here's a full list of religious (and belief system and non-belief system) emblems allowed on US goverment headstones. This list had not yet been updated to include the recently-approved Wiccan pentacle.
I especially like the groovy looking emblem shown here, for the Eckankar religion, which was founded in 1964. It makes me think the government should also approve the old EC logo for dead die-hard comics fans.

Dumb inventions that got patents
IZ Reloaded sez, "Here are 6 patents filed with the US Patent and Trademark office that are some of the dumbest inventions out there. Take for example the Helmet-Mounted Pistol. It's a gun strapped to the top of a hat. You have to blow into the connected tube to shoot the gun. Can you imagine using it during war? There'll be a lot of blowing."
Airbag Undershorts (2006)
What better way to magnify the humiliation of falling on your ass than with inflatable undies? These brainy briefs feature accelerometers that detect a tumble in progress, sending compressed gas into balloonlike pockets throughout the knickers. Phew — that was almost embarrassing.

Postcards from 1900 depict tech of 2000
This collection of German postcards were originally give-aways in Hildebrands chocolates in 1900 -- they depict the world as it would be in 2000. Included are a water-unicycle, slidewalks, locomotives pulling houses, personal airplanes, weather control systems, amphibious railways, police X-rays for seeing through walls, and, of course, zeppelins. Beautiful artwork, too.

Sex lube co's data breach exposes 250K+ personal records
Sexual lubricant maker Astroglide is reported to have suffered a data breach recently, and it sounds like a doozy. Personal information about more than a quarter million people -- including names, mailing addresses, and the specific variety of lube they purchased -- ended up on Google-accessible web pages.
Some of the data may have been accessible online for days, months, even years (some records date back to 2003). And some of the data remains available through Google's cache even now, because Astroglide apparently failed to clean up the mess properly.

Gilbert and Sullivan's "Baby Got Back"
MPH Tower remixed some Gilbert and Sullivan film footage (Pirates of Penzance?) with a rousing, Victorian-style cover of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" and the resulting video is pure hilarity. They editing is really tight, and the song is really well done.

Mayor of Boston bans the DEA's website
MIT student David Sheets has been delving into the censorship software used by the Mayor of Boston to restrict access to the city's free WiFi network. It's incredibly badly designed and configured -- as David says, "The engineers or systems administrators who chose and implemented this system should be fired and Mayor Menino should think long and hard about his stance on free speech."

Disturbingly, I could not access many government web sites that inform me of my rights and responsibilities as a citizen, the punishments for various crimes, or available government services. I attempted to access both the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and the Drug Enforcement Agency and was denied access. I could not read about drug crime penalties or how different substances are controlled. I was denied access to information about what law enforcement officers can and cannot demand of me and what the government does to protect children from abuse.
Additionally, the phrase lists in use block many internet dating sites such as match.com, OkCupid, Yahoo Personals, and Plenty of Fish. Interestingly, eHarmony and DateHookup are not blocked.
