Catching up on 5 days' worth of LJ.
Does a bear shit in the Toyota he broke into for a PBJ sandwich someone stupidly left in there? "Somehow the door closed behind him. He panicked and started thrashing around, hit the shifter and put the car, took it out of park. It rolled back, down over the hill, and down into here, and stopped. The four way flashers were on. It's like he knew what was going on, and kept hitting the horn."
WTF: The adventures of... Foreskin Man. Mild-mannered scientist by day; by night, "intactivist superhero who rescues innocent boys from the clutches of the world's cleverest and most dangerous circumcisers." (via omgblog)
WTF^2: Cross-dressing man sexually assaults stranger's dog in English castle moat.
WTF^3: A braying donkey attached to a parasail and sent soaring in the blue skies above the beaches of southern Russia has stunned holidaymakers and prompted a police enquiry, officials said Tuesday.
The last-produced roll of Kodachrome has been processed at the only photo lab in the world that still does it. "If you have any rolls of Kodachrome sitting around not yet exposed, better get them to Dwayne's before December 10, 2010." National Geographic followed the story of the final roll, which was requested from Kodak by a freelancer and used in part to document, fittingly, an Indian tribe on the verge of extinction.
New Tron Legacy trailer. Top-rated viewer comment (there are many others in this vein): "My boner just broke the desk" though I also liked "Jeff Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges! A battle so intense that even Chuck Norris would move a few worlds away to be able to sustain the blast of such awesomeness."
The Westboro Baptist Douchebags picketed Comic-Con, for some reason. Con-goers picketed back. Samples: Starfleet uniform with "GOD HATES JEDI" sign; Bender with "KILL ALL HUMANS"
via boingboing, a remote control operated by farting. "OK, I know that sounds weird, but bear with me for a moment. My Pops really enjoys two things; 1) channel surfing and 2) farting. So one day I was over at http://hackaday.com/ and read about a guy who used his Arduino to turn a TV on and off with one of those brainwave reading headsets. Then later on that same day I was here at Instructables and a fellow had made an office chair that twitters every time he farted. So, I got to thinking and decided to mash those two hacks into one remote that changes the TV to a random channel every time he tutes!"
Interesting take on Inception: it's a movie about making movies.
