“pretty frightening.”

On the internet, nobody knows the G-strings aren’t yours. Or how murderously they infatuate. Or whom they’re infatuating.


Dear Jenn

Holy crap, there are now 10+ doves outside on the garage! They really love the feeder 🙂

Hot Properties

Hot Properties: Want to feel inadequate? Want to visit InsaneWorld? Check out the L.A. Times real estate column Hot Properties, which covers the world of high-end celebrity real estate moves. It’s like rock candy for masochists. Scarlett Johansson recently picked up a $7 million pad from a family friend. Courteney Cox wanted more privacy, so she and David Arquette flipped their $33.5 million shack for a $17 million compound. John Cleese is selling his ranch for $28 million. Tom Cruise shows them the money for a $35 million upgrade from his rental. Even the D-list celebs get ink.


American Bald Eagle Information

Recovering nicely, the American Bald Eagle was delisted as an endangered species this summer by the Department of the Interior. Only a handful of species have fought their way back from the endangered species list. Credit the ban on DDT for the bald eagle’s remarkable resurgence.


The best in indy gaming

The top 100 Indy games of the last three years as selected by GameTunnel, which offers in-depth reviews of independent games (also useful are their best of 2006 and best of 2005).

Who’s Laughing Now, Chuckles McVermin?

With the French embrace of Pixar’s Ratatouille, one of the movie’s locations has become an unlikely tourist attraction. “Destruction des Animaux Nuisibles” reads the sign above the door of Aurouze, where the bodies of rats 80 years dead hang suspended by iron traps in the storefront window. Meanwhile, American scientists tickle rodents to record thier tiny gales of laughter. Viva la difference!

Perfect Game: 900

Skee-Ball! (warning: music) Perhaps the longest-running branded arcade game ever invented was created in 1909, originally with a rotator-cuff-injury-inducing 36-foot long alley. Once shortened to a more manageable 14′ (10′ for the Chuck E. Cheese kiddie model), the game’s popularity took off, remaining largely unchanged except for the 1970s electrification of the scoreboard. It’s both a nostalgic pastime and a present-day boardwalk staple, even enjoying some hipster revivalism in the form of BrewSkee-Ball. You can even try building your own game.


Crochet-y

Crochet artwork. Some of it’s a little violent. Some of it a little kinky (but SFW). Some is just a little…odd. But it’s all pretty damn cool.

Dental Surgery Vacations

Dental Vacation Plans & Travel Packages For Single Men: At first thought, it may seem a bit strange to combine the objectives of romance and dental surgery or treatments – into a singles vacation package! But, if you are a single man who would like to seriously explore opportunities of finding a special woman and also have some dental health issues that you would seriously like to resolve, then why not?


This can still happen

It’s the Vietnam War. Nixon has declared a state of emergency and allows for secret tribunals against anti-war protesters, draft dodgers, and others guilty of “hindering the war effort.” They have two choices: spend 15 to 20 years in a federal penitentiary or spend 3 days in Punishment Park, where they will have 3 days to trek 50 miles in the California desert without food and water while on pursuit by armed National Guard and police units.
Watch Peter Watkin’s “documentary” of Punishment Park here (Google Video, with strong language ).


Dance, baby, Dance!

Keepon , the bot that bounces to the rhythm! “[It] is a small creature-like robot with a soft rubber skin, two cameras in its eyes, and a microphone in its nose. Keepon is designed to interact with children by communicating attention and emotion. It has four degrees of freedom: attention is directed by turning +/-180° and nodding +/-40°, while emotion is expressed by rocking side-to-side +/-25° and bobbing up to 15mm:”


Smokin Senx

Tried to do some research about this technology called Trisenx. But honestly I gave up, because the video and all you may extrapolate from it says everything. And yes, that’s George Clinton.

Schwebebahn Wuppertal

The Wuppertal Schwebebahn. In Wuppertal, birthplace of Aspirin and Heroin, they’ve been enjoying monorail travel since 1901. The line runs for 8 miles, most of it above the river Wupper, and has seen one collapse, one crash and one baby elephant jump.


Arizona boy suspended for sketching gun

An…eighth-grader was suspended this week after he turned in homework with a sketch that school officials said resembled a gun and posed a threat to his classmates.  
 
But parents of the 13-year-old, who attends Payne Junior High School in the Chandler Unified School District, said the drawing was a harmless doodle of a fake laser, and school officials overreacted.  
 
“I just can’t believe that there wasn’t another way to resolve this,” said Paula Mosteller, the boy’s mother. “He’s so upset. The school made him feel like he committed a crime. They are doing more damage than good.”  
 
…officials did not allow the Tribune to view the drawing. The Mostellers said the drawing did not depict blood, injuries, bullets or any human targets. They said it was just a drawing that resembled a gun…
