Getting banned from the My Little Pony forum

I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

Choice quotes:

"The first generation of MLP's were made by Hasbro, not the Khmer Rouge."

"How could you possibly know that Osama bin Laden collects My Little Ponies? I think you're just making that up."

Engineers -> terrorists

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: don't piss me off.

"Silence! I _kill_ you!"

The Topical Satire Initiative listens to the State of the Union

...and is disappointed by the lack of discussions of human-animal hybrids.

Books that make you dumb

A nice chart comparing the most popular books at colleges versus the average SAT score of those colleges.

Some weird effects, like "The Holy Bible < Fight Club < The Book of Mormon". Go figure.

Mario controlled by giant ghostly hand

Definitely one of the weirder things I've seen recently. Ever wondered what it would be like to push around dozens of Marios with your hand? Yeah, neither had I.

I can has historically racist Disney clips?

Mmmm...racist-licious.

Questioning your Disney-based childhood yet?

Shakethatbear.com (very nsfw)

I...wow.

Wow.

Vindication that if you can think it up, there's a porn of it somewhere on the internet? I'm honestly having trouble thinking up something that would be more wrong than that video...

5 horrifying bugs to scare the piss out of you

You've probably seen lists like these before, but I really enjoyed the writing in this particular one.

"It's a full inch long, it lives in trees and thus can and will fall on you to scare you away from its hive--the one you didn't know was there, because it's in a fucking tree. Before it does this, it shrieks at you. This ant, you see, can shriek.

It's called a Bullet Ant because its 'unusually severe' sting feels like getting shot. On the Schmidt Sting Index, Bullet Ants rate as the number one most try-not-to-shit-out-your-spine painful in the entirety of the Kingdom Arthropoda.

Also--and we do feel the need to stress this--they fucking shriek at you before they attack."

Fine. You want a post? Have a wardrobe malfunction.

...and I do mean a wardrobe malfunction. (nsfw)

I am not dead

Though I felt like I was close in Saturday night when I got food poisoning. Bleh.

No, I am home, and my internet access is dead, and it will probably stay dead for at least a few more days. Right now my computer is on top of my car "borrowing" a neighbors open access point.

Hopefully I'll be back soon.

Now that's some recycling I can get behind

Weird statistics

Observe.

Question: how does one end up between Minneapolis and St. Paul on...anything? Isn't this kind of like ending up on a ranked list of characters in Hamlet between Rosencrantz and Gildenstern?

(Oh, you know you liked the quasi-obscure Shakespeare reference, didn't you?...)

Ron Paul grilled on slavery remarks

You know, the truly remarkable part of this interview is less what Paul did or didn't say about slavery but that he's trying to talk about history without engaging in demagoguery and he's challenging preconceived notions of history and policy. This is the reason people like Ron Paul so much and why I, at least, enjoy listening to him. I still think his fundamentally libertarian platform is dangerous, but he genuinely believes in it and argues honestly about his positions, which is admirable and sorely lacking from any other candidate on either side of the isle.

Actually, I take that back...you hear it also from Kucinich and Gravel, but both of them are so weird that it gets lost in the noise. Also, it's more remarkable to hear from the Republican side given most of the Republicans of at least the past 7 years have been...what's the word...idiots. And demagogues.

Well, see, now I want to see all of these

The Most Controversial Films of All Time.

Mmm...criteria-less internet list-tastic...

The French are dumb

We rename side dishes, they ban the use of ubiquitous words because they sound too English-y. And stupidity knows no borders...

The worst movies ever

Care to guess what the worst movie ever is on RottenTomatoes.com's list of worst-reviewed movies? If you guessed "Baby Geniuses 2," you're wrong. Close, but wrong.

Huh...maybe there's something to this Internet thing

You know, I reluctantly have to admit: many of these startups don't seem like half-bad ideas (except the natural language search engine...I tried Ask Jeeves, it sucked, and Google has far more talent than you guys do anyway).

Have a merry fucking Christmas

You'll have the joy and love of the lord in your heart, Michael, or god help me I'll beat it into you!

(wonder why Michael's not too keen on religion at the moment?...)

Also, Merry Christmas. :-D

Peanut butter: an atheist's nightmare!

Apparently the culinary arts continue to pose an enduring threat to those that would foolishly oppose Creationist thinking. First it was the banana, now it's peanut butter.

(Wow. Just...wow.)



This is perhaps a better summary of Creationism:

Presents opening children

It's things like this that allow me to deal with Christmas.
