The number one search term this week on our Funny Celebrity News Swicki, is erm, Wombat. Wtf?

I have never heard of a famous person called Wombat. Have you? I know plenty of celebrities who deserve the affectionate name tag - You fricking wombat." but that is for another time.

Neither have I ever claimed to be an expert on the real wombat, a pesky Australian (is there any other type) marsupial with the reverse entry pouch.



So I was sat here scratching my own pouch, pondering why anyone would come here to use my Celebrity boiased Swicki to search out definitive explanations about the wombat.

What the wombat?

Looking down the Swicki search results, though, I stumbled on a site called Wombat, and after watching the Global Insights video through cynical eyes, maybe it does make sense to come to a humor site for wombatic insights? Save the world, take care of wildlife, be kind to the environment... what absolutely comical concepts in today's corporate race for resources. What do you think?

Web search bar

In case you ever get lost for options to search for all things wombat, there is a whole Web Search Bar on the Pisstakers.

So, pour yourselves a cup of wombat wine, put on your wombat shoes, nibble on a stuffed wombat Aussie burger and peruse the results from Google to Kartoo to Paid-to-search... (See, we try to be helpful in addition to playing el smart ass.)...

'Tis the season to be nostalgic and I revisit some past tongue-in-cheek tech news and see where we are at a year on. As a heads up, the law still says email must be archived, a mail spam filter is still a must, and musty old inboxes are still full to overflowing. Oh, and my desktop is still a cluster full of icons.

Yesterday's funny quote of the day was inspired by a brush with knitting. Mrs Ed is washing wool right now in preparation for dyeing. I hope this isnt the raw material going into a pair of surprise baby socks.

Talking of which, what are you expecting for Christmas? Guys, if the wife says she doesn't want anything, don't believe her. As my old man says, Maybe they won't say anything on Christmas Day, but you can bet that one day next year all hell will burst like a fury from your wife and you will be reminded that you didn't read correctly between the lines.

You've been warned. Happy days, people.

Lest we forget, avatar toolbars are glorified binary, enabling users to create icons in their own likeness, or in the likeness of others. Zwinky is pretty lame, but some systems offer the capacity for avatars to get XX-naked, and some can be quite fantastic - in a lewd Lord of the Rings fantasy way!

Read all about the latest naked avatar news from Zwinky and Second Life and World of Warcraft.

But don't get too disturbed! Remember, no toolbar can force sober souls to deviate from the straight and narrow and create bare-fleshed icons - unless, of course, you want to. The disturbed amongst you should therefore check out a full range of Naked Zwinky posts from The Pisstakers.

Now, time for me to sort out my kinky Santa Claus avatar for the festive season.
