DIY LED-Illuminated Sleep Chamber 333
Bulldozer2003 writes "'Finally something both nerdy AND sexy engineers can do.' It sounds like an oxymoron but this guy took a cue from The Vos Pad and decked out his own dorm room bed with Light Emitting Diodes. They're even fully adjustable 'allowing me to create every color of the rainbow.' Total cost, according to him in an email: 'Around $25, the LEDs cost me about $0.25 a piece in bulk, and the potentiometers cost about $6 a piece from digikey. I got the LM317 voltage regulators as a free sample from Texas Instruments. Lots of companies will ship you free samples, its a good deal for college students.'"

Something I wrote a couple of years back.
To the tune of Blurry [azlyrics.com] by Puddle of Mudd.
(Still a work in progress)
My wife is mostly plastic
everything's so fake
Her tits are full of saline
now they are in perfect place
Filled her lips with fat
They sucked out of her thighs
Her teeth were stained and yellow
but now they are pure white
If only I had said no
to plastic surgery
I would still be with you
and you'd still be with me
I use to be your world
I use to be your man
But now I'm just this guy
who pays for all your tans
Chorus:
I paid for everything
But you left me anyway
You slapped me in the face
You sprayed me with some mace
I paid for everything
But you left me anyway
You slapped me in the face
Everything has changed now
There's nothing left that's you
You wear a ton of makeup and
clothes that are see through
It wasn't always this way
You use to be a troll
But now all men adore you
And want to tag your hole
But I know all about you
I know who you are
You're just a gutter rat
who grew up in the park
You're just a dirty tramp now
using guys for cash
I hope someone rapes you
so I can have a laugh.

If we are reading slashdot at 3:00 a.m. in the morning, there is a rather (extremely) high likelyhood that readers here do not have the company of a female.
Unless it's a mother telling us to turn out the lights.
