Would you name your kid after a pizza?
9030-large.jpg

I hope your answer is no.

On Friday, Leap Day, Domino's ended a bribe promotion for their BRKLYN style pizza. The contest gave the first sucker on Leap Day, who named their newborn Brooklyn or Brklyn or Brook Lynn (any version of the name), $1,000 in Domino's pizza gift certificates. That's right, in exchange for naming your kid after a fast-food gimmick you'll get the incredible satisfaction of eating roughly 100 freebie pizza's.

Also runner-up babies would receive a "Brooklyn-style pizza party." Since you can't feed a newborn pizza, I guess Domino's was thinking that the lucky named babies would get their first taste via Mom's boob. Shortly thereafter new baby BLYN's would enjoy his or her first gas pain screaming fit.

No word yet if any American fell for and "won" this stupid promotion. Or if people who name their kid "Kings" would qualify since Kings County is the official name of Brooklyn. Anyway if you did name your kid Brooklyn, and you've come out of your pizza coma, here's one form to legally change a name. Thirteen years or so from now your newborn baby will thank you.

I'm Lost
LostTheConstant.jpg

Ok...I started watching what may be the best episode of Lost ever, but halfway through the show my head exploded, And anyone who's ever seen me knows that's not a good look for me.

So I need help again...what the hell is going on with this show. It gets better and better, and weirder and weirder, with each episode. So I have another batch of questions, and only half a head to figure out the answers.

Spoliery questions after the jump.

Quaranta

The Quaranta is a solar-assisted hybrid concept car from Italian design group Giugiaro. Wired calls it ugly. I don’t know what they were expecting, because it looks a helluva lot better than my minivan. And you really can’t fault a car that can go up to 155 mph and runs on sunshine.

Glassbooth on Facebook
GlassBooth.jpg

A few months ago I posted a link to Glassbooth, a site that lets you rank the issues that concern you, then shows you which political candidates share your views. It's a site for anyone that wants to learn more about the politicians they support, or Texas state senators booked to appear on MSNBC.

Well, the fine folks at Glassbooth are at it again. They've created a Facebook application based on their site. Why would I download the app when I've already been to the site, you ask? Because it's a great way to show your facebook friends who you're supporting, and learn a little more about the candidates in the process.

Because sure...you want your friends to know you have 12 people in your posse, and you're a second lieutenant zombie, but showing them how politically aware you are will show them a side they never knew existed.

- Yes, the Plaza Hotel has reopened. You may all go back to not caring.
- This past Friday, some ad morons threw money away in Manhattan.
- Combine Wikipedia with Animal Planet...it's the Encyclopedia of Life.
- Yes, I am curious what I'll look like in 20 years, and I do have $100.
- And last night's SNL was pretty lame. But the Hillary sketch was good.
