Woodland Creatures, Part 1: The Snake

June 28, 2005, 9:49 pm

I learned a valuable lesson back on June 9th. My spouse, Laurajean, was busy playing Everquest, while I was downstairs, turning over a couch (the reason I was doing such a thing will be expounded upon in the future). After moving the couch, I spied what I thought was a piece of string or debris [...]

Introducing Spandex Justice!

June 27, 2005, 10:40 pm

I’ve decided to move my comic book reviews and rants over to my new blog, Spandex Justice: I’ll be putting up reviews for the various comics I read (these days, that’s not a lot) as well as some thoughts on the current season of Justice League Unlimited, one of the best animated shows ever. [...]

Weirdness of the Week

Superheroes, mutant animals and religious nuts, oh my!

Superheroes

Baby Man: at least he doesn’t call himself Diaper Man and ruin my childhood.
‘Spiderman’ Scales Hong Kong Skyscraper: He’s a crazy Frenchman, but he certainly knows what he’s doing.
Fathers 4 Justice: If you are trying to make the point that you are a good father and deserve [...]

Weirdness of the Week

Another fun random assortment of oddness, arranged haphazardly.

Yay, More Bigfoot Fun

Waiting for Bigfoot: Cool, Bigfoot will have his own web-cam! He just needs his own LiveJournal now.

Astronomy is Looking Up

The Unfinished Quest to Solve the Pioneer Anomaly: The data are on antiquated 7 and 9 track tapes. There’s an 8-track tape joke in there [...]

Weirdness of the Week

Another grab bag of odd stuff. Starting off with a few stories from CNN, which seemed to have a lot of news that grabbed my attention!

CNN is the Crazy Nut Network
Thanks to Joe D.for the heads up on these stories.

Stop! Are those live fish under your skirt?: Uh, no, she’s just happy to see me! [...]

Neat Free Stuff

June 8, 2005, 8:16 pm

Everyone likes free stuff, right? Here you go:

Free Graph Paper: it’s always a pain in the ass finding good hex graph paper (perfect for old school RPG mapping). Now you can just print your own.
Free Mag 7 Star Charts: I have some star charts around, but taking them outside can be a little dicey if [...]

Weirdness of the Week

June 1, 2005, 10:13 pm

Quite the potpourri of oddness this week. That just means I’m too damn lazy to categorize anything.

Ligers and Tigons and Bears, Oh My: nature can be very weird.
Placenta Chair: This really looks very comfortable in an Oedipal kinda way. This site is also going on the list.
Congressman Backs Asteroid Agency: Ah yes, we can’t feed [...]

Guacamole

June 1, 2005, 9:19 pm

Another of the dishes my mother used to make was good old guacamole: a great dip for chips, a good condiment for hamburgers and steak, if you are so inclined. The version I make is a little plain, but that’s because I really like the taste of fresh avocado, so I rarely gussy it up [...]
