Some links from fark:

Tom Ridge warns of Al-Qaeda attack(s) may spoil a November election... Uh. yeah. What can I say about this? Probably nothing intelligent, so: America is not Spain, and wtf are they talking about? I can't see an attack changing anything. If something happens, are you in a rush to get rid of the guy who supposedly has ( Read more... )

From Gizmodo come the wonderful world of Titanium mesh breast implants...

More photos here. (in German, if you care).

Something else from Germany: an illuminated toilet seat, only 249 Euros.

From this post on overspun.com (perhaps a good title for the site), I was directed to a Harpers magazine article on "The Fellowship" also known as "The Family", with plenty of slighty-scary Christian brainwashing included. Yikes. I was totally unaware that the National Prayer Breakfast had anything sinister associated with it ( Read more... )

I was planning to post this yesterday, but livejournal was being bad.

It has been quite a while since I posted last. In that time, I still haven't managed to get a bed or set up my own computer. In my last post, banuaba was correct in ranting about mentioning bands of temporary name recognition on the day Ray Charles died, but I didn't find this out ( Read more... )

I've noticed that The White Stripes' "The Hardest Button to Button" sounds a lot like Dexy's Midnight Runners' "Come On Eileen" when they both begin...

Also, Jet's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" sounds a whole lot like The Bangles' "Walk Like An Egyptian"

Maybe I'm just crazy.

wtf.

So I searched around, and found someone who had eaten them.

I poked around The InfiniteMonkeys site and found some ... ( Read more... )

I started my day with driving virginhuntress to work, then engaging in a breakfast at Taco Bell. Apparently, they have something called the Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco. (Mentioned in this article in what seems to be an advertisement glossy trade mag. Maybe it is just a place for companies to shill their products...) For some real fan service to Taco Bell, check ( Read more... )

For the funny:
An article on Axis of Eve

"Elizabeth Eve never thought of herself as an exhibitionist. But these days, the 33-year-old history professor with the gold nose ring can barely contain the urge to lift her skirt and flash her skivvies."

Axis of Eve

not funny:
Rumsfeld bans cameraphonesThis assumes one can actually send these pictures ( Read more... )

So I was listening to the radio, and almost didn't believe what I was hearing.

Apparently, Pop-Tarts is sponsoring American Idol.

( Pop and tarts, together at last. )

I’m stressing out a bit over my exam tomorrow, but I felt it important enough to put my inane rantings aside and post this bit of disturbingness:

(found on Metafilter)

"They have declared to all Heaven and Earth that Reverend Sun Myung Moon is none other than humanity’s Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent. This resolution has been ( Read more... )
