Beer test

Scientists have revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones. To prove their theory, the scientists fed 100 men 12 pints of beer and observed that 100% of them gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became emotional, couldn’t drive, and refused to apologize when wrong.

No further testing is planned.

Mario. Game over.

Tag: Funny, Videoshighena @ 5:42 pm

I was wondering what happened to Super Mario. After a bit of browsing on the net I came accross this. The moustachio Italian has still got a thing for magic mushrooms, but Princess Peach has turned into a miserable nagging cow.

Talk show giggles

Tag: Funny, Videoshighena @ 5:38 pm

Everyone’s had a fit of the giggles once or twice in their life, but when you’ve got a TV show to present you’ve got get yourself under control in such a situation. You can’t just start laughing at the guests like this presenter did. The fact that he’s laughing at their unfortunate affliction makes it even more… funny.

Business directories

Tag: WWWhighena @ 5:27 pm

Over the past few days I’ve been submitting a friend’s business to the directories on the web. There seems to be a bit of a race and a battle going on to get businesses to sign up for their priority packages. I signed up with Scoot only to get a phone call an hour later from Emma at ITV Local, who informed me that Scoot - as well as192.com, Ask Alix and a lot of other directories - had been bought out by ITV.

For £450.00 a year for the keywords related to the business we would be guaranteed top spot on the listings in our area of the country. To show me Emma prioritised our listing for 15 minutes to show us how it would look. 24 hours later and we’re still top. Bit of a glitch there. hehehe. In that 24 hours it seems we’ve had 42 hits from the listing, so if we decide on the £450 package it could be money well spent.

ITV Local has only been on line 6 weeks, but is already getting a hell of a lot of traffic, and because of the buy outs of the other directories I’m sure it will soon overtake Ufindus.

I found this company’s salesman to be quite annoying and, quite frankly, full of shit. Firstly, he phones me up half an hour after I’ve just submitted to a directory where you can view the latest submissions. So, this prick’s watching another directory, then targetting the businesses with his lame sales pitch.

First lie: he asks for me by name, then says he came across the company website and decided to contact me.

My name is no where to be found on the website.

Second lie: Ufindus gets 10 million hits a month.

He tells me this while I’m checking the stats on Alexa.

The funniest bit about his sales pitch was his opening line. “You’ve probably seen our advert on the break in Coronation Street.”

He seemed quite upset when I said I had a life.

Anyway, when he phoned up again this morning to badger me I just told him I was going with ITV Local. I heard a big snort down the line, then, “Where are they on the search engines?” he scoffed.

He actually hung up on me when I told him that ITV had bought out Scoot, 192, etc, and would soon blow Ufindus out the water. And they’re cheaper.
