Technology News

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

There's a new super toilet on the market. It's being described as high tech, low flush. Sen. Larry Craig drove one off the lot.

Pamela Anderson's husband is claiming fraud in his request for an annulment. Apparently he thought they were real.

Yay, Mar got it.

No GP, it wasn't about dancing, it was from an episode of "Fairly Odd Parents". Which is one of the best cartoons on TV..

In the episode, Timmy wish for a "super bike" which prompts Wanda to remind him of the talk they had about "super" wish and then named off various "super" items he had previously wished for, one of which was "Super toilet".

Every time the Super Toilet is mentioned, Cosmo drops to a fetal position and mentions something horrible about super toilet, like the comments listed above.



Unlike other shows, this one has gotten better with it's success. Instead of "playing it safe" like a lot of the other shows, this one seems to get a little weirder and more edgy as it goes on..


Yes, I'm 38 and I still watch cartoons..

Yep so do I, I was referring to the Sen. Larry craig "foot tapping" and the juxtaposition of the word "clogging" not as it toilet, but foot movement to find "hidden humor" in the comment!! Since he had a "bad" encounter in the toilet!!

hehehehe

You can't make this stuff up.

Demi Moore Hasn't Lobotomized Herself. Yet.


Preternaturally hard-bodied Madonna swears oxygen therapy is part of her health regime. And remember last year when Debbie Harry casually let slip that she allowed doctors to inject her with sheep embryos in a bid to retain her youthful good looks? Well, Demi Moore -- cougar extraordinaire -- has one-upped Debbie, Madonna and every Botox-ified freeze face out there by submitting to a round of bloodletting by leeches to keep herself looking like a fresh-faced youth.

The leeches, Moore told David Letterman, were placed in her belly button. They bit, swelled and left the 45-year-old actress feeling "detoxified" (yet still married to Ashton Kutcher).

This is the part of the post, you're thinking, where Liz starts to skewer Demi for being a bubble-headed idiot of the first order (and a pretty mediocre actress to boot). Not so. Instead, I say "thank you." Thank you, Demi Moore, for being brave enough to make your struggle with toxification public and share the intimate details of your quackery treatment.

How many other discarded ancient arts can be revived in aid of toxic celebrities? Perhaps a little trepanation is just what Britney Spears needs to be relieved of her melancholia. And what could possibly correct Priscilla Presley's disastrous potato-face plastic surgery than an above-the-neck amputation? And, if we hurry up and get Keith Richards mummified now, he'll last for at least another two Stones tours.

One star, at least, may already be taking Demi's example to heart. Amy Winehouse's publicist says impetigo is responsible for the profusion of scabs on the British singer's face. But since we know Amy to be one woman in need of extreme detoxification, well... think about it.

Shows you what too much money and time, with a lack of common sense and intelligence can do for you if you are vain!

Not to mention being too stupid to check out the fact that our liver and kidneys do a great job of detoxifying the body, else we'd all be dead. But then, nobody got rich telling the truth, especially since some folks don't really know how the human body works. I had a pretty firm grasp of how the human body works before I was in junior high. Yeah, I'm a geek....

Speaking of her, "Dr. Jiffy Lube" was just release from jail and then detained by immigration. He's expected to be deported shortly.

If you're not familiar with the case. This "plastic surgeon", a Dr. from Argentina, was doing home parties injecting women with a product that was supposed to be better than botox. In reality it was an industrial grade silicone.
