London's Daily Telegraph has the photo and short story: 'Astro-squirrels' use coconut shells as helmets.
Really, anyone who has ever owned a bird feeder, and watched Gilligan's Island, has entertained serious suspicions of this sort for quite some time...
This was simply too funny. If you haven't seen it, consider it my New Year's gift. Ever wonder what the Chinese participants were really thinking? Well...
And kudos to SNL for living up to its mission to parody anyone, from any party. They do it so well, which is one reason why they're still going.
Yeah, this one amused me... guess you have to be a certain age.
Happy 4th!
The folks at Cracked.com have more hilarity for you... 5 corporate promotions that ended really, really badly. We're talking WKRP, "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!" badly...
Off for some painful minor surgery, which falls into the category of "things you know won't make you happy (but might later on, mayhap after you can, like, eat again)." At the other end of this particular scale, I offer Cracked.com's combination of links to real science and viciously acerbic wit.
Presenting, "5 Things You Think Will Make You Happy (But Won't)". With the recurring sub-headings of "So, what the problem?" and "Wait, it gets worse..." An excerpt:
"Most of us get out of bed everyday purely because it edges us one step closer to some kind of financial future we want. If we won the lottery, most of us would show up to the office the next day wearing an ankle-length fur coat and enough bling to make Mr. T look Amish, and only stay just long enough to take a dump in our boss's inbox.
So What's the Problem?
Hey, remember when we said earlier that most people wouldn't do the body-switching thing for fear they'd wake up in Nigeria...."
Cracked.com, in "The 6 Best 2012 Apocalypse Theories"
"You may have noticed a recent trend of trying to fit every hackneyed doomsday prophecy into the same red-letter year of 2012. The theories are obtuse, their connections are flimsy and the perceived consequences are completely unsubstantiated.
Unsurprisingly, these prophecies are enormously popular."
Whereupon they proceed to explain, and deliver a major New Age ass-whuppin' to, each and every one of them. It's kind of like having a set of 6 hippies thrown into a Wrestlemania cage match.
Which, by the way, I'd pay good money to see...
Does Gov. Sanford Suffer from Dissociative Fugue?...then at 2:36 pm:
Gov. Sanford's strange vanishing act -- he was thought to be hiking the Appalachian Trail alone, until he washed up in Argentina -- prompts me to wonder if he suffers from a condition known as dissociative fugue disorder.
Well, Gov. Sanford Isn't Suffering from Dissociative FugueI don't think his career is going to be recovering from this level of ridicule any time soon.
He's suffering from something else entirely: Argentine Nookie Syndrome.
