By jesser | Published: 8:27 am

Or was it the Charlie and the Half-Blood Prince Extravaganza? The world may never know. In either case, the night before we left for Bahamas, we hit the opening night of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was amazing, and stood in line with a few folks to pick up our copies of Harry Potter [...]

Atlantis Resort, Bahamas

By jesser | Published: 10:33 am

As I mentioned before, we stayed at the Atlantis Resort in Bahamas. It's located on Paradise Island, just off New Providence (where Nassau is). The setting is beautiful. White sand, gorgeous water, warm weather, warm water, Lovely. Atlantis, however, doesn't measure up to nature. It's not cheap to begin with. You pay quite a lot [...]

That Makes Sense!

When Helen Adler accidently took the wrong pills, her life was in danger. Her granddaughter Deborah Adler was inspired. She came up with the new Clear Rx packaging being used by Target Pharmacies nation wide. It features a label that doesn't wrap around a curved surface, large easy-to-read writing of the prescriptions name, a handy [...]

Star Trek vs Star Wars

By jesser | Published: 10:10 am

In case you hadn't noticed, we here at Jesser.org dig sci-fi. So naturally, when I came “The Top 25 Differences Between Starwars and Star Trek” at TopFive I had to share. 25. Star Trek: cardboard sets. Star Wars: cardboard actors. 24. Star Trek fans sit in front of televisions watching reruns. Star Wars fans sit [...]

What's on that Wall?

By jesser | Published: 10:48 am

Pictures of Walls has a very interesting collection of photos of … well … graffiti I guess, but not the big, bizarre block letter variety. Just stuff people have written on walls. Some of it even thought-provoking. Take a look.

Haha. Funny Trick

By jesser | Published: 9:54 am

I'm sure we've all felt the pointlessness of signing credit card recipts. I have “see ID” on my cards, and still, practically no-one asks to see ID, indicating that they haven't even looked at the signature panel. And if you've gotten fast food lately or maybe even groceries at the U-scans and definitely gas and [...]

They were, of course, inundated with phone calls and emails asking, “What gives?!” An outrage fan had this to say on the Mugglenet boards: “I got [...]
