I Used to Sleep on The Floor...

Often during my many years of playing Rugby I would need to go out to the bars and clubs after having played several hours of the rough sport followed by a few more hours of drinking during the after game.  Anyone who has tried to drink after a day of doing any sort of physical activity and not pass out will tell you that it is much much harder than it seems.  My problem would be that I would always feel really tired after getting home from the after party, but knew that if I actually took a nap in my bed then I was pretty much done for the night, which would upset my friends and really upset the locks on my door as well as my door frame (as my so-called friends busted down my door to drag me out).  So I started a habit of sleeping on the floor at the foot of my bed. The reasoning being that if you are really tired you will most likely sleep wherever it's quite and dark (my room), but that after the intense fatigue subsided the floor would cease to be really comfortable and you would eventually have to get up.  If you don't just move from the floor to your bed then you should be golden.  It seems like the Chinese have taken my theory to the next level with Extreme Napping, but leave the logic behind as they just sleep wherever, whenever they feel the need.

WTF

I have not RTFA yet, but I can't see how this is a good thing for the people of Vietnam.

Eureka?!

One of my favorite Sci-Fi shows might actually come to reality. Eureka is a show in which the main character is a sheriff of a town of the World's brightest scientists.  Of course with all that brain power these people are constantly on the cutting edge of technology, and are usually finding out the downsides of said technology at the same time.  I wonder if this city in Aussie Land will create a singularity that will destroy the rest of the planet?  I guess who cares if then can create cheap robotic exoskeletons first....

FAIL!!

What an excellent explanation of one of today's funniest sayings...for more Epic Fails watch Attack of Show where they usually showcase an epic failure for all to enjoy at the end of each show.  Olivia Munn is the hottest geek girl on TV, followed by the rest of the female cast on G4 tv shows (Kristin Holt anyone??).

Also, make sure when you go through Airport security all your hot tech gadgets are still there when you get to your destination, if they are not it's possible they were stolen from you by the TSA...
