Bubb Rubb

Were you as clueless as I was about this latest craze in tricking out yo' car's muffler? Or is this old news and as usual I'm late to the game? Either way, you need to get right on ova to BubbRubb.com (warning: some pictures on the site NSFW) and check out the news footage.

Apparently muffler dealers are now adding whistler tips to mufflers. "Whistler tips are a piece of metal welded inside your car's exhaust system that makes the car audible for almost a mile?" It's that "Wooooooo woooooooooooooooooooooo! man" as Bubb Rubb says. It's started in Oakland, CA but I'm sure it's spreading.

Apparently, according to Bubb Rubb's sidekick in the interview, "They're decoration man. It's just for decoration. That's it and that's all man." When was the last time you tried to look deep up someone's exhaust pipe for a decoration? Wait! Don't answer that one /images/emoticons/mozilla_wink.gif

But wait! It gets even better. Whistler tips can be used as alarm clocks! In a response to "Some neighbors say they're way too loud", Bubb Rubb responds, "That's only in the morning. You supposed to be up cooking breakfast ..." Awesome ... They're decorative for your car and practical for the working mothers on your block!

The mind boggles on this one folks. But rest assured homies, Bubb Rubb is blowing up in big way. He's already got a Cafepress store called "Whoo Whooo" and he's going to be on an upcoming episode of everyone's favorite show, South Park.

Whoooooooooo whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Wordform as LGPL?

From the Wordform post on Screenshots and Tests. Wordform is a fork of Wordpress. Wordpress is licensed using the GPL.

The license will be LGPL, which is less restrictive than GPL. Credit for each external software project used in Wordform, such as Wordpress, MagpieRSS, RAP (RDF API for PHP), and so on, and their licenses will be included in that license.

I was under the impression that GPL-licensed software required all changes and modifications to be released under the GPL.

No?
