The Stanford Prison Experiment

Check out The Stanford Prison Experiment: A Simulation Study of the Psychology of Imprisonment. It’s a fairly interesting and still strangely pertinent look at how imprisonment affects prisoners and their keepers.

Say bye-bye iPod! Say hello to the Dell DJ. If you want to recycle your iPod with the irreplaceable battery you can do so now and pay only $99 USD for Dell’s 15GB Mp3 player (about half price). I think I may have to break down and pick one up. Not that I have and iPod to trade but $199 USD isn’t bad for a 15GB player.
More info on the Dell DJ via dell.ca. It looks like $349 Canadian. Still not too bad.

Update on the duck

I too was hoping that we were going to see the duck shot through it’s head, but so many people emailed me I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I see our usual trolls wanted death for the duck so to appease the masses I’ve come to a compromise and found a picture of a rubber duck that had been (there are photos of other plastic and stuffed animals strung up right here). And of course there’s always this photo of a dead rubber duck:

If you want to buy your own dead duck you can do so here at Archie McPhee. I hope all you animal lovers and ghouls are satisfied. I feel so dirty. I’m such a sell out.

Liberal Minority

There will be no coalition, Martin says
Oh well. Minority governments can actually create some truly effective legislation. They can’t steamroll everyone so they have to really be careful on the bills they attempt to put through. This could turn out to be the best case senario for Canada after all. The change in numbers is good and, honestly, was all I really wanted anyway. It would have been nice to have had a tax break but such is life. We’ll see if anything really does change. My bet is all stays status quo…

Mill Ends Park is the world’s smallest park at only 452 square inches and and claims to be the home of the “only leprechaun colony west of Ireland.” It can also be found in the top 10 quirkiest landmarks along with the world’s largest chest of drawers. Hehe! Drawers…
