Crazy Guide to the Internet

Washington, DC - Dreams do come true! Especially if you’re an ex-Vice President looking for a new career!

Vice President Dick Cheney plans to take up the mantle of being an OB/GYN physician as soon as his term expires next January. He also plans a few short-cuts in receiving his Doctorate by taking a home study course while still serving as the nation’s VP.

“I’ll also pull a few strings too,” he quipped to reporters, as he showed them some homestudy books and the anatomically correct life sized female form he had near his desk. “My practice patient,” he said, “I like the artificial insemination part best.”

When asked where he planned on setting up his practice, he replied, “Somewhere where there are lotsa young women who want to have babies. If fact, I can help! Yes, sir. When Dr. Dick is in town they’ll be nothing to worry about!”

When asked for a comment, President Bush had this to say. “I wish him good luck. I know Lynn always talked about Dick all the time and I ‘m glad to see others will have a chance to use Dick too!”

A third undersea Internet cable has been damaged in the Middle East, adding to the disruption in online services after two other lines were cut earlier this week, the cable operating firm said. The Falcon cable was cut 56 kilometres (35 miles) from Dubai, between Oman and the United Arab Emirates, according to its owner, FLAG Telecom, which is part of India’s Reliance Communications.

The repair ship had been notified and was expected to arrive at the site in the next few days, the company said on its website.

Flag Telecom owns another cable that was damaged off Egypt on Wednesday. A repair ship was expected to arrive by Tuesday to restore that cable and repairs were expected to take a week, the company said.

The outages have disrupted business across the Middle East and South Asia, including in India, where businesses said it may take up to 15 days to return to normal.

As many of you know, I recieved a kickass Sony Ericsson K750i from my friend in the UK a few weeks ago. His service provider sends him the new latest phone for free every year so since he recieved his K800i, he was fine with sending his old one to me. He only charged me for shipping, which was 11 pounds, so I gave him 20. The phone really does retail for around $300-400, so I was getting a sweet deal.
But, as it turns out, Cingular uses the 850 band frequency for their towers. This phone is European and, although Tri-band, doesn’t pick up that frequency. Therefore, I was unable to make calls from the comfort of my own home, school, well, basically anywhere. It was truly an inconvenience and I decided I might as well sell it on eBay.
So I set up an auction, 10 days, starting price $70, $10 shipping. In the last hours many people battle it out, with the victor being acube_a1, an eBay member with private feedback (so I don’t know what others say about him). eBay says this person resides in New Zealand. Okay, that’s fine. I’ll ship it globally.
So I wake up hoping to see a “You’ve got money!” email from paypal. What do I find?
