skm428, this link's for you.

Today I discovered Ugly Overload, which is kind of like Cute Overload with fewer puppies and more hairy arachnids. Look under the "Parasites" section for a world of fun!

If you're looking for something that won't put you off your lunch, most of the mammals are actually pretty freakishly cute, and who don't love a crazed underwater tiger? And ( Read more... )

When I was a kid, my grandparents fed me an indiscriminate diet of cartoons. One particularly memorable nugget of madness was The Elm-Chanted Forest, a charming Yugoslavian tale of a boy with a magical paintbrush and a destiny to save a motley crew of singing animals from an evil cactus.

Why does the s-block get more tail than the line? >:/ Why does no one love Thrall? :( Does this love dare speak its name? :3 Why would anyone, anywhere, ever want to marry any character in a work by Hawthorne? :X What is this strange world in which Will ( Read more... )

This is a good storyI have been busy lately, but I think my holiday shopping is finally finished. This is good, as someone gave me a stomach bug that has left me in no fit shape to shop. Today is a good day to curl up on the futon within sprinting distance of the bathroom and be glad that I don't have to put on real pants. Let there be a moment of ( Read more... )

This NYT article is neat, as all stories about newly discovered fossils are neat, but I'm really just linking it because I want everyone to be as amused as I am by the artist's rendering. If I had a stuffed animal that looked like that, I would never stop throwing it at people's faces.
