Technology is Fantastic.

I saw this story everywhere and had to say something.

While using Google Earth, Swiss police found a two-acre plot of marijuana.

Apparently, they had been investigating a drug ring and found the drugs hidden in the middle of a corn field.

I think this can definitely go in the history books as one of the top weird Google Earth finds. What amazes me is that they were able to tell the difference between the plants and investigate it enough to determine what they were seeing was true? I've used Google Earth several times, and I really don't know how people have such good eyes! It really is pretty incredible what people can do with it.

Go Swiss police!

Radio Shack Update

Sooooo, Radio Shack has evidently withdrawn from its voodoo campaign. Hmmm.....still, why start it in the first place?

Do they really think this will work?

Weird news of the day from USAToday: Radio Shack, which is a U.S. based company by the way, is selling voodoo dolls to Mexican consumers to use against U.S. soccer players.

The Mexican fans are showing their support by mangling the dolls in hopes of giving the Mexican team a leg up and ending a streak of losses.

My first question is: why is Radio Shack, which typically sells electronics, selling these in the first place? Next, shouldn't a U.S. company be showing support for their own country's sports (rather than creating depictions of U.S. players designed for brutal torture)? Weird. Enjoy!
