For mani / all you katamari demacy fans out there...

Pituitary gland.

Every twelve minutes, another cause suffers from lack of a ribbon.

Story Here.

Go ahead and look. You know you want to.

So how about some Smurf's fan fiction? Or Krull?

I might have some of the details wrong, but I'm pretty sure that Farty McTootlepants once told me that Harrient Tubman dug the Suez Canal so that bananas would always be cheap.

Reader not not fat contributes a musical revue of the highlights of Troy's mixtape, at the bottom of the comments to the Troy item.

*sigh*

For those of you who don't like Bill O'Reilly...

Den Fujita, the first McDonald's Japan president, declared: "The reason Japanese people are so short and have yellow skins is because they have eaten nothing but fish and rice for 2,000 years. If we eat McDonald’s hamburgers and potatoes for a thousand years we will become taller, our skin become white and our hair blond."

You can't make this stuff up. I want to see the paper issue the obvious correction: "We inaccurately reported the name of the first president of McDonald's Japan. His name was in fact Torbjorn Kekkasakkamolainen."

Photographs of drops and splashes. "Several people ask if these images are Photoshop trickery. No. I might clean up the background (my cat likes to leave little hairs in the water), and sharpen the image. Sometimes I increase the saturation of the colors a bit. Otherwise, the colors and shapes are from nature, I just recorded them."

Carry around stickers, of various font sizes, that say "FUCK". Place them strategically on signs. Take pictures and put them on the internet. Earn the admiration of connoisseurs of juvenile humor from around the world.

I've had this song in my head all dang day, for no apparent reason. (Hint: click the heads)

So I was dirtying my nest this evening, when I came across this gem from the Akron Freakin Journal.

Apparently Raccoon Mario was based on a Tanuki - a mythical Japanese creature.

Here's a: "Semi-traditional representation of tanuki, drunk and with its kintama (golden balls) dragging."

Seems right in line with the earlier Mario thread. I hope he stars in the next episode.

Fine lookin' fellas.

here's a webcomic that contains exactly two space-pirate jokes.

Hours of fun!!

disclaimer: my japanese is a little rusty

Unlike Candyland, you probably do have to know how to read or count to have hours of fun playing c-jump. Watch out for buffer overrun swamp as you try to free the mallocs.

X-wing metro tickets.

Yarr, don't forget.

...beat, he's got the beat he's got the beeeeat. Yeah. He's got the beat.

For some reason this spam amuses me

How about Arcade Fire covering Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Saw the plastination exhibit last night at Great Lakes Science Center. Both more and less creepy than I was expecting. For those who have not yet been, I would definitely recommend it. You can handle a real human brain, with your real human hand! It's now legal!

There is also an interesting sense of the macabre in the exhibit (seems hard to believe, but true). E.g., there's a figure skating duet exhibit called the "Death Spiral". There are also lots of penises, for people who like those.

Also amusing: there's a desk where you can sign up to be plastinated. Apparently 5 people in Cleveland have done this. Without being able to contractually specify my own pose, I declined the opportunity.

Dinosuars Fought with Angels

Brilliant!

I realize that, for the sake of brevity, the Bible tends to skip around the historical timeline, but wouldn't dinosaurs duking it out with the armies of heaven merit a sentence or two?

“There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. But the dragons got all uppity, so God smote their asses with a fiery ball from the heavens.”

While the chicken is unharmed, Babineau said, the sheep seemed distraught from the experience.

For parents too lazy to dry their baby's bottoms the normal way.

i quote their website:
"Just in off the presses, this New Planet Trampoline EP is something of a misnomer at about 50 minutes long. This CD features 6 of our longer and more noise laden songs, many of which were going to be on The Curse of The New Planet Trampoline but just didn't fit, style-wise or time-wise."

since i don't get to talk to my big bro that much anymore cause im on cali and he's on tour, i don't know when it'll be in stores or when it'll be on iTunes. I guess just keep checking.

i heard some of the song before i moved, nice stuff.

I love that i can integrate videos into my iTunes library. Its one of my few joys. Ever wish you could save one of the really nice high res videos that are hosted on iTMS? This little tool makes it possible. Its generates the HTTP URL and you can save the .mov to disk. Then just add it to iTunes and name it accordingly.

Very nice indeed.

...proving that you can take these things too far...

... HUGE STORMS ALWAYS HAPPEN!

"A gross creature which gobbles up a fish's tongue and then replaces it with its own body has been found in Britain for the first time."

Now has an IMDB entry, giving it an air of officialness.

"The Telecrapper 2000 (TC2K) is a computerized system designed to both intercept incoming Telemarketing calls on the first ring, and then carry on a virtual conversation with the telemarketer." Listen to the example conversations!

It was the Yakuza

Fairly fabulous site discussing many contemporary concerns. Just who is steering the hurricanes? And are they using lasers or scalar waves?

Also, you can get access to a web bot that predicts disasters. "This is based on extremely subtle changes in language sampled from the internet on places like public discussion boards and such - as how people reference the future seems to change subconsciously prior to big events."

Actually, I'm receptive to a lot of this crap. In my defense, I still don't buy the 4 simultaneous days theory yet.

...no whammies, no whammies... STOP!

"Rude Britain is a 100-long list of the country's most double entendre-riddled towns, villages and streets."

Puts me in mind of the Tom Lehrer song I Hold Your Hand In Mind.

How to Bet on the Horses

Bob Slydell: You see, what we're trying to do is get a feeling for how people spend their time at work so if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah.

Bob Slydell: Great.

Peter Gibbons: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh - after that I sorta space out for an hour.

Bob Porter: Da-uh? Space out?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

Sorry to nerd out with slightly dated material, but this made me SOL (smirk out loud):

Situations like these make me feel sorry for the spacebar. So big and strong... He totally rules over the other keys, and yet all he produces is... nothingness. I hope I never find myself in the situation of having to explain to aliens what the LARGEST KEY ON THE KEYBOARD does. »Well... this key? Right over here? Ah, the chubby one! It.. spaces... kind of... leaps.. a tiny bit. In the text... See...? Nothingness! Hey, I know how this must sound... Hey! Wait!! No!! Come back!! But we just met!! COME BACK!!«

Brian Billick on the Match Game

I thought that there were 4 simultaneous 24 hour days within a single Earth rotation and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

Feel the need to point fingers - I'm looking at you Olbermann - about Katrina? Here's the list. I'm going with Nicola Tesla (damn kids with their death rays...).

The antepenultimate thing anyone needs is another screed against intelligent design. But these surprised me with the quality of their argumentation. Now you must suffer through them and their non-silliness.

Richard Dawkins and Jerry Coyne explaining why teaching "both sides" means the intellectual terrorists have already won. (Dawkins of "The Selfish Gene".)
John Paulos (he of "Innumeracy") on similarities between biology and economics.

NOT SAFE FOR WORK!

It may not be safe even in private. God I hope he's the Joker.

I thought about this site randomly while reading the excellent wikipedia article on cats (a group of cats is called a clowder). Actually, that wasn't a random thought at all. There was a clear rational connection. Thank me. I'm welcome.

I remember looking at this site when in college (in a prior incarnation) (of the site). Turns out, it's still kicking.

Here's the wikipedia entry on everything.

Here's the everything entry on wikipedia.

I used to think Keith Olbermann was a sports-only dude. I used to be wrong. Turns out he can deliver a delicious rant on newsy news too.

"The Harry Potter books provide some excellent illustrations of some important issues in relation to Trust and Security."

Baby-havers, rejoice!

You can now print your Flickr photos as a book!

Worried that your teeth will be stained after a heavy night drinking red wine? Simply drink a bottle of white wine before going to bed to remove the stains.

I'm going to fucking bury that guy [Eric Schmidt of Google].

I don't get it.

Does anyone else think tormp's frilly jacket makes him look like Adam Ant?

only the emperor can drink your ESSENCE

Who else thinks tormp's current haircut makes him look like David Bowie?

Boy, do I regret it.
