I saw a flyer at the grocery today that momentarily baffled me. It said:

LOST: MINI DOTSON

And my first thought was "You lost a Japanese car from the 1970s, and you can't spell its name right?"

I had to look at the blurry accompanying picture to realize that they meant dauchshund, which I also can't spell without assistance, but at least I got ( Read more... )

Just go read this: Insane Clown Posse Science Textbook. (Do not read if vulgar language distresses you, yo.)

Have you ever noticed that some questions are phrased in such a way as to presuppose agreement? It's there, unspoken but apparent, and unless you're up for an evening of windmill-tilting you tread very carefully if at all.

Before just a few minutes ago, I'd never heard of the Kolbrin Bible. Having now been schooled, I'd like to get the innocence of half an hour ago back. This thing has all the current events hot-buttons:creationism, intelligent design-ism, 2012 paranoia, even the old Exodus storyare all on lurid display. WHAT is it about ancient cultures--and Gods ( Read more... )

Today is the birthday of the god SetThere have been brutal storms all morning, over four inches of rain dumped on the city ( Read more... )
