Acid Attack!!!


The Hope Chest is collecting some great old-timey newspaper stories about acid attacks by various people (including mothers, fathers, random strangers) on various others (including draftees, children, and horses).

Adieu, Milton Cougar


The cougar they shot in Chicago was the same one seen in Wisconsin last month. Story here.

AIRWOLF!!!







I'm not generally a big fan of spoken word poetry, unless it's a poem about Airwolf.

"The coach . . . threw in the towel to spare his pitcher’s arm with his team losing 66-0"


Um, wow. That's a pretty tough kid, though, just to be able to stay in there through all of that. Also, this kind of reminds me of some of the worst of our little league games when I was a kid, which probably would have gotten this bad if we didn't have the ten-run rule.

Cracked has an amusing list of fun cults.

I'm Counting on It!


I'd forgotten about this, but going through some old email today reminded me that I "discovered" this a few years ago. Here's something weird you can do with numbers:





1 2 3 4

6 8 10 12

15 18 21 24

28 32 36 40

45 50 55 60

66 72 78 84

91 98 105 112

and so on, apparently forever (although I only went up to multiples of 11 before I quit, figuring that way I wouldn't go crazy). Each set of 4 numbers starts where the other one left off, going up from multiples of 1 to multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. It's weird.

What is this called? Is there a term for this sort of progression? Man, numbers are bizarre.

Planet of the Gators

So, if we aren't overrun by genius fish, I'm guessing the WALKING ALLIGATORS will be the end of human civilization.

Youtube Frenzy

Here are a bunch of mostly unconnected youtube videos I just like. They're good, in different ways.

Mike Gravel does "Helter Skelter." Cause that song isn't associated with crazy people at all.


This was his last little number. It's awesome.


Excellent April Fool's gag from Terry Jones and co.


The greatest ad ever made: Hungarian sausages!



And this is sublime and beautiful.
