With the Celt's grand scale thumping of the Lakers and the return of a championship to Boston (oh wait ... didn't Boston just win one last fall? Oh, it's been 17 years since an NBA title? I see...) it seemed fitting to use Kevin Garnett's* now infamous words along with today's Scanner.

Because it's true, on the Internet "anything is possible."

(* I'll spare you the long tortured Timberwolves fan talk about seeing KG win a title for another time...or if you run into me at a bar.)

Job hunting locally? This guy is looking for an assistant. But no uglies. Seriously. (Thanks to ac)

According to Google Hot Trends, there was a spike in searches for LA Times and LA newspapers after the Celtics' win. The Web Scout has a few ideas why.

Oh Gene Simmons, you're so cute when you yell at musicians like Radiohead for giving away their music for free. It's never free to get in to "Detroit Rock City."

It is no secret I'm a bit of an Anglophile, so it should be no secret I love Top Gear. So I don't know how I feel about the idea of an American version of the show. Let alone the idea of yet another Americanized import.

Sure, we're charging you more to take your bags on a flight, but we'll give you an iPod dock to charge your iPod or iPhone in-flight. Thanks, United. Really.

I think Engadget has it right - are rising fuel costs so bad that we have to resort to riding Segways? Apparently so, cause sales are up.

According to a new survey the average teen has more than 800 stolen songs on their mp3 player of choice. But they're willing to share it openly with anyone, and they're open to subscription services.

Oh poor KITT. one of the KITTs from "Knight Rider" is up for sale on eBay. Damn these rising fuel costs.

Consumerist reports that McDonalds has officially started outsourcing some of its drive-thru window work. Let that sink in for a second.

In LA they dump millions of balls into the reservoir to save the city's drinking water. (Thanks to Réal)

Apparently slipping laxatives in your teacher's cake isn't funny anymore? What?

It's official - if you're an early adopter of new technology chances are you may be a jerk. Maybe. (Hat tip: Crunchgear)

The newest pitfall of Google Earth? Swimming pools. Damn kids. (Hat tip: Gizmodo)

The New York Times has created its own social networking site. Is the question now why? (Hat tip:Mashable)

Sometimes I think advertisers get a lot of crap. This time, a tip of the cap. With smokers forced outside of bars take the advertising to them with "ashvertising." (Hat tip: Springwise.)

Facebook has opened its super-poking, zombie-infested doors to one of the last segments of the population left: homeschoolers.
