“They’re dead, they’re… they’re all messed up.”
In the grand tradition of Killer comes Humans Vs. Zombies, a campus game that’s growing in popularity. From its origins at Goucher, it’s spread to a reported two dozen colleges. An interview with the game’s moderator is here, and you can watch the 45-minute documentary from one of the games on Google Video

The Manual (How To Have a Number One – The Easy Way)
The Manual (How To Have a Number One – The Easy Way). Both light-hearted and thorough, the Timelords, aka the KLF, wrote this tongue-in-cheek manual in 1988 following their own novelty pop No. 1 “Doctorin’ the Tardis“. “If you are already a musician stop playing your instrument. Even better, sell the junk. It will become clearer later on but just take our word for it for the time being.” Oh and apparently have lots of tea on hand.

Escaped Elephants.
Listen to the Newmarket Police try to deal with “Outstanding Elephants”. Elephants from the circus escape. They wander through Newmarket, Ontario, munching on people’s landscaping. Some people out for a late night walk happen upon them and (mp3) call into the York regional police to report the errant elephants. Then the police (mp3) deal with getting them back to their home.
"Police said no one was hurt, no property was damaged and that the two well-behaved animals spent their free time snacking on plants and trees as they wandered the quiet downtown streets." Sounds like a good way to spend a summer evening to me!

Everybody was taekwondo fighting
You got served! …by taekwondo black belts? The Korean Tigers is a taekwondo demonstration team that also try to have fun. But chereographing with pop stars and dancing? Considering that one of Korea’s older traditional martial arts is taekyon, a martial art which reflects some aspects of traditional Korean dance and music, dancing doesn’t seem so far-fetched for Korean martial arts.

Roses are red / Violets are blue / Sugar is sweet / And so is… WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU EATING?
"Splenda’s advertising claims that it is ‘Made from Sugar, so it Tastes Like Sugar.’ What they don’t tell you is that Splenda is not natural, it’s a chlorinated artificial sweetener." So states The Truth About Splenda, a site devoted to saving us from this chemical menace. But who are the good samaritans behind this truth-telling campaign? Why, none other than the good people of The Sugar Association, who only want to promote the consumption of sugar as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle. McNeil Nutritionals, the maker of Splenda, fight backs with SplendaTruth.com.

UK troops rumored to be using man-eating badgers to attack Iraqis
British troops in Iraq are accused of releasing “man-eating badgers” in Basra, according to a BBC news report.
The creatures, apparently some 39 inches (100 cm) in length, are the size of dogs and have monkey-like heads.
The BBC news story quotes a local woman, Suad Hussain, who claims to have been attacked by one of these creatures: “My husband hurried to shoot it but it was as swift as a deer”
Known locally as Al-Girta (also known as Honey Badgers) the director of Basra’s veterinary hospital, Mushtaq Abdul-Mahdi, refutes the claims, stating: “Talk that this animal was brought by the British forces is incorrect and unscientific.”

Death and Taxes – A Story Of Beer

Canadian air security gets some perspective on “bad words”
Canadian Air Transport Security has loosened up the rules for “security” in Canadian airports — agents are no longer required to sound the alarm and shut down the airport when someone remarks, “Your hockey team is going to bomb tonight.”
The bulletin provides key examples of both types. The false statement “I have a bomb in my bag” will continue to bring the police running. But the comment “Your hockey team is going to get bombed tonight” is merely careless, it advises.
“Inform the person that he or she could commit a serious offence saying such words at an airport,” say the new instructions, referring to careless remarks. But officers should then continue the regular screening process without sounding the alarm.
Some other examples from the document, by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority:
– “I am going to set fire to the airplane with this blowtorch” (false declaration), versus “What do you think I look like, a terrorist?” (careless or inflammatory).
– “He is going to hijack the aircraft” (false declaration) versus “Hi Jack!” (careless or inflammatory).
– “The man in seat 32F has a machine gun” (false declaration), versus “My gun misfired when I was hunting this weekend” (careless or inflammatory).

Man’s excuse to avoid jury duty
Daniel Ellis of Cape Cod, Massachusetts wanted so badly to be excused from jury duty that he claimed to be homophobic, racist, and a liar. As a result, Barnstable Superior Court Judge Gary Nickerson wants him prosecuted. Here are excerpts from Nickerson’s conversation with Ellis, according to an Associated Press article:
“You say on your form that you’re not a fan of homosexuals,” Nickerson said.
“That I’m a racist,” Ellis interrupted.
“I’m frequently found to be a liar, too. I can’t really help it,” Ellis added.
“I’m sorry?” Nickerson said.
“I said I’m frequently found to be a liar,” Ellis replied.
“So, are you lying to me now?” Nickerson asked.
“Well, I don’t know. I might be,” was the response.

Also, it is most certainly two different girls.
It’s just a teaser trailer for a monster movie, but people (geeks) are going crazy trying to figure out what it’s about. It may or may not have some ambiguous viral.Some think it’s Cthulhu come to destroy New York, some think it’s Voltron. Other less sensible people think it’s a lion. It is definitely not a lion.
