Today's Sundae: Monkey claws, pet AT-ATs and problems with eggs!

Goodbye Rock-Paper-Scissors - Hello Monkey-Pirate-Robot-Ninja-Zombie

Deciding to evolve the game of Rock-Paper-Scissors is a grueling task. I've tried before! Hell, my friend and I even got some "media" attention for it. Too bad that magazine went under before the article was ever published. Sigh. Anyway, someone outdid me and made a whole new set of flinging hand motions (gang-free) that may actually work.

Mark Rayner's Monkey-Pirate-Robot-Ninja-Zombie may seem complicated at first with the addition of two more weapons of choice, but following the original set up of "every item that can beat two can also be beaten by two", the game checks out. At least as far as my brain is willing to go right now (which let's be honest, is never that far). And because every item has a reason for beating another, here's Mark's list of who can do what to who.

Now, if you disagree with any of these rules, which I'm sure some of you will, just remember how paper beats rock. Because really, when was the last time paper kept you from opening your Christmas presents?

As for my personally designed edition of Rock-Paper-Scissors, I don't really want to get into it. But I will tell you this: the entire game was inspired by the CD booklet of 50 Cent's Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. Maybe it's not too late to get the ball rolling on that one...

The World Cup Gets Catty

The USA may be out, but there are still many other countries to root for and stupid-looking fans to snicker at. As for all of those who don't really understand the World Cup or football/soccer in general, it's time to get your act together. Even these cats can play a decent game. What's your excuse? Yeah? Well, not good enough.

AT-AT Is Still The Best Pet Ever

About a year and a half ago, Flickr-er NickIsConfused began posting the painfully adorable pictures of his "pet" AT-AT, ATilla. From playing with cats to frolicking in the fields, this little guy could have been mistaken for any dog, as seen also in Patrick Boivin's AT-AT Day Afternoon. I mean, except for all the steel and artilery. I guess the AT-AT trend has really kicked off, blessing many individuals and families alike with someone special to love. Who doesn't want one? Someone with a cold heart of stone, that's who. Or maybe just someone with an aversion to Jabba poop. That I can understand...

Country Hip Hop Dancing - The Tragic Collision Of Two Worlds

I'm not sure what it was but I must have done something really good or really bad because I have yet to decide if this video is a reward or a punishment. But seeing that I'm an optimistic kind of sinner, I'll just look on the bright side and call it a gift. Unfortunately though the weekend might as well be over by now and these moves will have to wait until Friday. That's okay. It'll give me plenty of time to achieve my spandex under denim shorts combo. Just gotta make some adjustments in the rear for that classic pancake butt look.

P.S. Anyone have any idea why is Jamie the only one without any gangsta bling?

EU Hates Eggs By The Dozen - Demands Eggs By Weight

Well, this is a mess.

Until now the UK has been exempt from regulations of the EU to sell food by number, not by weight. As in one buys a dozen eggs in a pack. But the EU has had enough and is cracking down on the UK to start cracking their numbers in grams and kilos. And everyone is pissed!

For the first time, eggs and ­other products such as oranges and bread rolls will be sold by weight instead of by the number contained in a packet.

Until now, Britain has been exempt from EU regulations that forbid the selling of goods by number. But last week MEPs voted to end Britain’s deal despite objections from UK members.

The new rules will mean that instead of packaging telling shoppers a box contains six eggs, it will show the weight in grams of the eggs inside, for example 372g.

Apart from the pain of acclimating to a new system mentally, this change could cost retailers and distributors millions just to change their packaging and labeling in order to adapt to these new standards. Unfortunately for new Prime Minister David Cameron, his epic call to action to stick up for the Brit's best interest with the EU will be a fight over eggs and bags of bread rolls.
