Want to see a pilot episode of a show pitched to FOX in 1999 that starred Jack Black, Owen Wilson voicing a motorcycle, and Christine Taylor and husband Ben Stiller? The show was Heat Vision and Jack and it has the strange humor you'd expect from both Jack Black and Ben Stiller. And the 30-minute pilot is on YouTube. (Obviously will take a while to load)

I came across a link online to the supposed 25 best Arrested Development moments including things like Gob's Chicken Dance, Tony Wonder, the literal doctor, Singles City, Hot Cops, and much more.

Check out the list, and then post your own suggestions/modifications in the comments section.

According to TechEBlog, a new LG phone has dual-sliding pieces. The first sliding portion unveils the standard keypad. The second uncovers additional multimedia keys. Unfortunately, this slick phone will likely not be available in the US.

There was a great piece on the radio this morning about Prince, and I had to verify if it was true. Sure enough, the Smoking Gun has posted about it. Apparently, Prince decided to do some redecorating in a home he was renting. But the changes were far from minor:

In a January complaint, Carlos Boozer, a forward with the Utah Jazz, sued Prince/MPG Music over unauthorized work done on the 10-bedroom, 11-bath West Hollywood property, which is owned by the C Booz Multifamily I LLC. According to the lawsuit, Prince/MPG Music violated its eight-month lease by "painting the exterior of the [house] with purple striping, 'prince' symbol, and numbers 3121." Prince's new album, "3121," is scheduled for release tomorrow.

Inside the home, among other renovations, a purple monogrammed carpet was installed in the master bedroom and plumbing and piping was added in the downstairs bedroom "for water transfer for beauty salon chairs." As part of a promotion, Prince is expected to hold a private concert at the Hollywood property--which recently was listed for sale at $11.9 million--for album purchasers who find a Wonkaesque "purple ticket" inside their CD cases.

The Boozer corporation filed its lawsuit two months after hand-delivering a "three-day notice to cure or quit" to the Sierra Alta Way property (which can be seen in the aerial photo above). Responding to the lawsuit, Prince's counsel denied the owner's allegations, adding that rent was accepted for December and January "without objection." In mid-February, a month after the complaint was filed, an attorney for the Boozer company sought the suit's dismissal, a request the court approved. Since the dismissal was granted "without prejudice," the landlord has the ability to file another suit on the same claims.

dave submitted an ABC story about a vitamin-enriched beer.

You've heard of energy drinks, vitamin water and light beer -- well get ready for vitamin beer that is supposed to keep you from getting a hangover.

Fred Matt, one of the brewers, says Stampede Plus is aimed at active, healthy consumers. "Essentially when you drink your alcohol, you are depleting vitamin B and what we're doing is putting vitamin B into the beer, and so you wake up the next morning and you feel a lot better," said Matt.

So, is it solid science, or a strange brew? Dr. David Robbins, an internist at Beth Israel Hospital, confirms that vitamin B is one of the nutrients depleted by alcohol consumption, but he questions the hangover claim.

You won't find the vitamins listed on the bottle of stampede plus because the FDA won't allow it, saying it would give consumers the impression that beer is good for them.

The impression that beer is good? It's already a scientifical fact.

dave submitted a Smoking Gun story about a court order to dismiss pleadings and motions containing illegible signatures of lawyers as it was becoming a big problem.

The irony? The judge's signature on the order is illegible.

dave submitted two bathroom innovation related stories. First, a company called Atech Flash has created an iPod-docking toilet paper dispenser.

Sporting both a USB slot for the iPod Shuffle and a dock for iPod models with dock connectors, the speakers are housed within the arms that support the toilet paper holder. Navigation buttons allow you to control your player with ease, freeing your other hand for [insert favorite bathroom reading material]. Don't forget to order your complementary RIAA toilet tissue here.

Second, a flushless urinal design has won awards for becoming a potential water saver.

How does it work? The flushless urinal contains a liquid consisting of alcohol and mineral oils, which are lighter than the urine which flows through the liquid and down the drain. There’s a special cartridge that replaces the conventional drain that makes this possible. It wouldn’t be much fun to be the poor soul who has to change those cartridges, though.

The iPod thing sounds pretty absurd. Next they're going to sell me an iPod-docking hot dog or something. And for the second story, the comments in the article about how it doesn't eliminate odors are not encouraging.

junosand (mark) submitted an article with the description "Compare the top-rated burger joints in the cities of Chicago and St. Louis. Chicago has local places throughout the list. The #1 burger restaurant in St. Louis - Hardee's. Also on the list, Steak 'n' Shake and Whitecastle."

So yesterday on local news I heard that 2 Chicago guys accidentally called 911 while talking about an upcoming heist, letting 911 dispatchers listen in on their planning. So today I went to look for more details and found the article I linked above. However, when looking for "accidental 911 call," I first found another article also from yesterday. In that article, 2 guys planning automobile arson accidentally hit a button that called 911 where dispatchers listened to them for 4 hours!

Two questions: Why are these people so stupid, and what the hell kind of phones do they have?!? Is it a phone with a giant red 911 button covering the face of it? - A phone where you can't sit down without hitting the button? How do 2 sets of criminals accidentally call 911 in the same day while planning their next activity?

Yes, yesterday was light on posts. And today will be as well. It's March Madness! Scores can be found here, and leave any comments relating to the tournament and brackets under this post.
