I sat next to this kid in German class my freshman year. He was a senior, and we had this love-hate relationship thing going on that revolved around religious debates, storytelling and quite a few magic tricks. I think he enjoyed ( Read more... )

Have you ever encountered something in real life that you could have sworn you made up yourself in a dream? It is the most disconcerting feeling, particularly when reality is freakier than the dream.

Allow me to present Centralia, a town that's haunted my nightmares for at least a decade. Holy shit.

I was wasting time reading Cracked.com today when I ( Read more... )

I just signed up for a spaceship concept-designing club, ran into a ten-foot-tall steampunk turkey-thing and almost got unwittingly recruited by a pack of furries.

I apparently fell right back to sleep  ( Read more... )

I've always been sort of fond of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but after seeing this music video, I think I want to be their new collective BFF. This is the most awesome kind of crackiness EVER, and brings endless lulz.

I've spent the day listening to U2's nineties albums on repeat as I work on college essays. On Zooropa, the last track is called The Wanderer, and it's great, but has this horrible...thing...that happens at the end. There's like a thirty-second dead space after the song ends, and then this terrifyingly loud siren starts blaring for another twenty ( Read more... )
