Cow with two noses via Digg
Kind of a light news day, or at least to my Technorama funny bone. This cow was born with two functional noses. Her second nose sits on top of her first and looks like a little piggy’s nose.

Why Mathematicians Now Care About Their Hat Color via Digg
This is a twist on the Prisoner’s Puzzle where a group of people will get a large prize if they can guess the color of the hat (red or blue) they are wearing by only looking at the hats everyone else is wearing. Colors are randomly assigned. Victory is when nobody guesses incorrectly and at least one person guesses correctly.
The kicker is that there is a strategy where victory can be achieved as a group 15 out of 16 times, even though the individual chances are still 50/50.
Geekiest Bowl Ever (pic) via Digg
More like a Pi pan. The odd thing is, even though the picture is hosted on whatonearthcatalog.com, I can’t find a link to buy the actual product.

Once again, another quality broadcast brought to you by a couple of bumbling geeks…This must be some kind of record.

I was going to release this as an audio short between shows, and I still may, but since I’m not in the studio at the moment and I really want to get rid of this piece of paper with notes scribbled on it here goes…
Sunday as I was sitting in Church, my friend Bob had his digital camera case sitting next to him in the pew in front of me. I glanced down and immediately recognized the hardware. A Nikon D80 and D200. Oooo! Say it with me. OOOOO!!
On the D200 he had a 50mm lens (f1.4) and on the D80 he had a 70-200mm zoom with image stabilization. Say it with me again… OOOOO!
As I started to drool on his cameras I said “I don’t see anything in the Bible about coveting thy neighbor’s gadgets.” Which got me to thinking… should we come up with a 10 commandments for geeks? Think about it, some people already treat Apple like a religion.
What else can you come up with?
The plan is to post more often to the blog. Let me know what you think.
It’s a bird! It’s a Plane! Wait, wait…it just a podcast.

The LEGO Testament via Digg
I keep staring at this and I still can’t find the hidden message. It’s gotta be right there and I’m missing something. Oh wait, is Jesus supposed to be Qui Gon Jinn?
