Bob’s PSA: Other ways to enjoy the web
There are lots of other fun places on the web (I know, you thought Bob was it, right?). Here are some of Bob’s favorite places:
This is why you’re fat

Is it social commentary, or just an excuse for people to think up new, sick ways to deep-fry food? We may never know. But now they have a book!!
Robot a Day
http://robotaday.com/
“Robot a day” is now “robot a couple of times a week”, (due to a new, secret project?) but it’s still the same cuteness. With over 280 robots – and counting – the creator is amassing a robot army to take over the world. Educate yourself. Be perpared.
Cracked.com
http://www.cracked.com/
Ah, yes. Can you really describe a website that posts almost daily articles with such titles as “6 Movie Plots Made Possible by Bafflingly Bad Decisions” or “Hollywood’s 6 Favorite Offensive Stereotypes“? Not really. There will always be those people that get offended at such comedy. Don’t be that person – Bob doesn’t much care for that person. Just enjoy it.

The Pirate Primer
WHAT IS IT?
Even pirates need a guide book! But where is a bile-laden sod going to find such a treasure? That’s where George Choundas’ Pirate Primer: Mastering the Language of Swashbucklers and Rogues comes in handy. Bob bought his and he’s been arg-ing and aye-ing ever since.
Here’s some of what you can learn:
crossgrained [crarss-grayeend] perverse; troublesome
crowing [crowin'] pompous or arrogant without good reason; self-aggrandizing
AND MORE! Learn greetings, calls, flourishes, commands, threats, oaths, curses, retorts, etc etc etc! The best part about the primer is that it’s more than a dictonary because it covers grammer and syntax as well.
WHERE DO I GET IT?
Any fine bookstore will carry it, but to insure you can find it you might want to order it online. the average price is going to be around $20, and it’s hardcover.
