This would have been so much cooler that the crystal skull in Indiana Jones 4.

DNA is going to be the great equalizer for many years to come. TMZ is reporting that Joe Son known as Random Task from Austin Powers movie has been busted from an event in 1990.

As part of a plea agreement from a recent crime he had to give up some DNA and oops, he is linked to a 18 year old crime.  DNA has freed many people and convicted many.  

My belief in the three strikes law is that people don’t often commit crimes just once.  So if you get busted three times you have most likely done much much more.  Grabbing his DNA paid off well apparently.

UPDATE: Cagepotato is reports that Son was a UFC fighter and shows him getting his nuts punched over and over in a UFC match that I remember vividly/horribly as I squirmed in my seat.  How can you do that to another man and not expect for every other person to do it to you when you fight them?    

But in retrospect, I guess Son deserved it and will have more encounters like this while he is in jail for 275 years.

From the best of Craigslist - 

20-30 henchmen needed for moderately-sized supervillain organisation with large expansion potential (fortresses built into geological structures, corruption of government officials, possible genesis of ‘nemesis’ vigilante). Electrical theme. 

Applicants must be willing to learn new skills, including but not limited to operation of specialised ‘lightning guns’.

Desired (but not necessarily required) in applicants: 

-interesting deformations/obsessions/powers(?) giving rise to interesting nicknames (e.g. Claws, Pyro, Buzzsaw, and similar) 
-unwavering loyalty 
-being a corruptible government official 
-ability to work as part of a close-knit team (unless interesting obsession is of the ‘lone wolf’ variety) 
-grudge against any well-known vigilante 
-flexible moral code 

Equal opportunies employer. Both henchmen and femmes fatales absolutely welcome. 

Great promotion opportunities - right-hand-man position constantly being unexpectedly opened. Would look good on any future supervillain resume/CV.

Picture or Link to the Girl of the Day?

I need a little help on this one.   WorkCandy is supposed to be a site to distract you from your workday. Hence the Flickr Girl of the Day. Some have mentioned that they can’t go to the site because they never know when a gorgeous lady will jump up on the screen.  

So should I have just a link to the girl of the day on this site and the main site?  This way you can control when you see the hot babe and not get fired for sexual harrassment because the secretary is Fugly and saw a hot babe on your computer.

Help me, help you, vist WorkCandy more often.
