Exploding Dog
Did you know Exploding Dog‘s still around? It is.
Surgical Tools
20 scary, old surgical tools. The Scarificator is the best name for anything ever.
Oh PETA
I’m not sure who decided this was a good name for PETA’s weblog, but I hope they got a bonus.
Mmm… Bread
I wish my local bakery would make bread this interesting. A plain loaf? Psh. A bloodied torso? Delicious!
Jim Carroll
R.I.P. Jim Carroll. The July 9th, 1999 Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art spoken word appearance is worth hearing.
9/12
I don’t bother posting things about Glenn Beck because I figure you either know he’s a complete idiot or you like him and think he’s quite the intelligent anti-communist. These pictures from his “9/12 Project” today had me laughing, as I enjoy seeing people afraid of President Obama use poorly made signs to express their fears. Lulz aplenty.
Celebrities
This list of 21 celebrities who have killed someone was a nice casualty vampire read. Mistakes are in there though. Ted Kennedy didn’t actually kill anyone (sorry haters) and John Wilkes Booth wasn’t a celebrity. Still, never forget Ferris Bueller!
Names for The Man
Out of all of these different names for Jesus, I have to say I prefer “Branch”. I plan on speaking to my Christian mother about Branch very soon.
The Typewriter Museum
The Typewriter Museum is far more interesting then I figured it would be when I typed in the URL.
The Internet
How the Internet Works, a comic.
Fig. 8
Fig. 8 isn’t a complex game, just glide your bike through with a top down view.
LoC Images
If you’re dorky enough to use RSS feeds, you could do much worse than the Library of Congress random image feed. I know people use these things (I do), but I still don’t know anyone else who bothers.
Like anything on Wikipedia, don’t take this list of common misconceptions as 100% fact. Still, if true many are quite interesting.
Diamond Dave
The Bird and the Bee’s ode to David Lee Roth has an entertaining video: Diamond Dave. Oh Eric Wareheim, you’re silly.
Canned Food
Unusual canned foods? What’s so unusual about canned and roasted scorpions I ask?
Horror Theatre
If you’ve read past posts you should know I’m a sucker for old radio. Horror and suspense old radio especially.
Canabalt
Canabalt‘s controls are easy, just run.
Miles Davis
I can’t say I’ve ever thought about what Miles Davis’ classic album “Kind of Blue” would sound like if it was ion 8-bit, but apparently someone else did. Warning: they want actual cash for the whole thing. The samples are well worth the visit though.
Wax Figures
These might be the worst wax figures ever made. Just terrible. Why does Bruce Springsteen look like a teenager? What’s with Nicholson? I give up.
