Ride Is 4-D Because It Uses All Three Of Your Senses

June 25th, 2006

(via fark, who get credit for the great headline)

Best quote ever:

“It’s a 4D ride where not only do see it, you feel it, you hear it, you touch it,” said Fertitta. “It uses all of the senses and that’s what makes it 4D.”

1. See it
2. Feel it
3. Hear it
4. Touch it

Yup, that’s four.

Unlike all other rides where they poke your eyes out and stuff your ears with cotton so you only get to use two of your senses: feeling and touching.

Verizon gives ‘free gift’ to customers – their phone numbers to credit bureaus

May 24th, 2006

(via IP)

According to a Boston Globe article, Verizon is giving out customers payment information to the big 3 credit bureaus.

A spokesman described it as ‘a free gift to the public’, and then said it was thought up by their bill collection department as a way to spur customers to pay on time.

The swellest part of the ‘free gift’ is that (even if you’re paying them for an unlisted number!) your phone number shows up on the credit reports.

Hey, Verizon customers, bend over and get your free gift!
