A priceless book has been stolen from the Oakland Public Library. A crack team of Bookhunters (aka. library police) have less than three days to recover the [...]

atheism can be funny

British comedian Marcus Brigstocke recently went on a rant while taping The Now Show on BBC Radio 4. It’s pretty clear that he’s been reading and enjoying Richard Dawkins‘ The God Delusion. Below is a YouTube version set to some photos. Here’s a link for an MP3. [thank Andrew for the link.]

toe flap

Last night, in the middle of the night, after too many drinks and too little adult supervision, I decided I had stewed in the jacuzzi for too long and it was time to call it a night. Some of our motley crew had already passed out and some had gone home. Mike, Crissy, and I [...]

frankenstein’s toe

So I showered today. Not quite the ordeal I expected. I cut the ziplock part off a sandwich-sized ziplock bag and taped it around my foot. It worked for a while, but water eventually leaked in. Here’s a picture of the showering rig. Next time I’ll use more tape. Afterwards, I re-dressed the wound. It [...]

sony bunnies

Sony’s latest Bravia TV ad, you know, from the Color Like No Other campaign, is stunning, as always. (Nothing will ever be quite as good as the Balls ad here, and here on YouTube.) In this one, hundreds of colorful claymation bunnies hop around Manhattan. Is this another contender for ad of the year? The [...]

what you should do if you find an atheist

Everyone is linking and emailing this image around today, but there is no source attributed. So, I guess there is no one to be angry with. Just sit back and enjoy the brainwashing tactics of the religious retards in our country. I think this analysis is spot on actually. I am personally grumpy at all [...]

the miscombobulation of lauryn hill

Where has the young, beautiful and talented Miss Lauryn Hill gone? I didn’t write about it at the time, but a few months ago Lauryn Hill played here in Dubai and I had the unique pain of attending the concert. After several hours of delay due to throat illness or soreness or something, she came [...]

more on atheism

It’s funny how often Atheists hear the same argument from Agnostics. That Atheism requires faith in and of itself because it espouses that there is definitively no god, and that Agnostism is really the only reasonable belief since it is open to any new evidence of the supernatural. Even the typically very intelligent and very [...]

to: myself

I have more than enough gripes with Microsoft products to start a blog just about that. Normally I don’t take the time or effort to write about them here. But this is a quick one in the form of an open letter to Microsoft’s Outlook team: Dear MS Outlookers, When I hit “reply all” I [...]

tickle me gay

I KNOW this makes me gay. Don’t bother telling me. The 10th anniversary edition of Tickle Me Elmo, aptly named “T.M.X. Tickle Me Elmo,” is absolutely hilarious. I predict this will be another riot-inspiring Christmas sellout. I want one. I am going to buy one for everyone I know. I love him. Any you will [...]

she calls it ‘hump island’

My friend Crissy and her friends call it ‘Hump Island’, but I think the idea of this little game is far better than just a fantasy for your sex drive. Here’s how it goes: A bunch of friends get together to each choose the 6 people in the world that they would like to have [...]

shoplifting seagull

I was a little unsure whether or not I was going to post this. I think it’s great but I’m not sure if it is for everyone. Originally this video came in my email as a giant animated GIF with no sound. This YouTube version is considerably better. Basically it’s great news footage of a [...]
