Unusual (and fun) date ideas
Hey guys and girls. I was stumbling around the internet the other day and happen to come across this which I thought was quite good. I hope you enjoy it.
- Go on a search for as many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as you both can in all of them. Compile photo evidence.
- Go to a major chain bookstore and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favourite books.
- Have her dressed up as a ghost and you dress up as Pacman. Walk around downtown holding hands. Whenever anyone sees you two pretend to be embarrassed and run off screaming “wocka wocka wocka”.
- Create photo evidence suggesting that you went on an adventure that didn’t really happen.
- Dress up as superheroes and stop at least one petty crime. i.e. jaywalking or littering e.t.c.
- Build forts out of furniture and blankets then wage war with paper airplanes.
- Try and visit as many people as you can in one night. Turn as many things inside their apartment upside down as you can, without them noticing.
- Go to the airport and get the cheapest, soonest departing flight anywhere. When you show up stay there for a weekend.
- Write a piece of fiction together, outside at a café. Ask strangers for help when you get stuck.
- Dress to the nines, pretend to be married and test drive very expensive vehicles at an auto dealership.
- Do the lamest tourist thing in your area that you have both secretly wanted to do forever. Have an unabashed good time!
- In the middle of the night drive to the beach so you arrive just as the sun is rising. Have a breakfast picnic, then fall asleep together. Bring a sun umbrella.
- Drive somewhere unknown and have dinner in a city you’ve never been to, with fake names.
- Go to a minor league baseball game under the stars. Tell each other stories about how bad you are at athletics. Randomly cheer for both teams. Eat lots of Cracker Jacks.
- Go around the city with sidewalk chalk and draw hearts with equations inside on random things.
- Walk around a city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras.
- With a camera and a pair of boots, make a photolog of a day in the life of the invisible man.
- Walk around the city all night and find a place to eat breakfast at dawn.
- Go to a restaurant and convince the cook to create something completely new for you.
- Rent a movie you’ve never seen before. Set it on mute and improvise the dialogue.

9 deadly words used by a woman
I stumbled across this little gem today, and thought it was a good read. Maybe this will help all of us guys out there a bit. I hope you enjoy it. 
- Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. - Five Minutes
If she is getting dressed, this means a half hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. - Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end fine. - Go Ahead
This is a dare, not permission. Don’t do it! - Loud Sigh
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing). - That’s Okay
This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. - Thanks
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add in a clause here; This is true, unless she says “Thanks a lot”, which is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say “You’re welcome”. That will bring on a “Whatever”). - Whatever
Is a woman’s way of saying “F*** YOU!” - Don’t worry about it, I got it
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking “What’s wrong?”. For the woman’s response refer to #3.

Microsoft launches IE6 Countdown
Microsoft is monitoring the worlds usage of Internet Explorer 6 by launching a website, IE6 Countdown. Their aim is to try and get the global usage under 1% so more websites can drop Internet Explorer 6 support which will save web developers a lot of work trying to support a web browser that is 10 years old.
At this point in time 12% of the world is using IE6 which is down 9% from last year. China has the highest users of IE6 coming in at 34.5% where Norway and Finland come it at just 0.7%. Australia is only at 3.2% while the US comes in just under at 2.9%.
If you have a website and would like to join the cause you can add a banner to your website asking the user to upgrade to a newer version of Internet Explorer.
