Holy crap, 500 posts!
Actually, this is post 502, but I didn’t realize I was so close to a milestone number. I started this blog over three years ago and I can’t believe I’ve kept with it this long. Here’s to another 500 cut-and-paste + witty musings. Maybe by then my daily page views will have hit double-digits.
Alt-text: “Dear editors of Homeopathy Monthly: I have two small corrections for your July issue. One, it’s spelled “echinacea”, and two, homeopathic medicines are no better than placebos and your entire magazine is a sham.”
I Have two small corrections for Randall: One, homeopathy’s primary tenant is that like cures like, so that to get pregnant homeopathically, you’d actually want highly-diluted morning-after pills. Diluted semen would be a contraceptive. And two, the other main tenant is that the more diluted it is, the stronger it is, so you’d actually want to water it down like 30,000 times, not just 30.
Yes folks, homeopathy is just that crazy. (via XKCD)
Remember that “Machete” trailer I posted a couple months ago? Well now there’s another one, and it turns the badass up to 11. Maybe even 11.5. (via IGN)
We’ve spent almost 300 billion dollars waging a war on (at most) 100 terrorists in Afghanistan. We’ve spent more than double that fighting terrorists in Iraq that didn’t even exist until we created them. That’s over a trillion dollars pissed away on practically nothing. And don’t get me started on the absurd cost of security theater right here in the US. Fuck it already. Just fuck it. Some planes crashed into some buildings a decade ago. A few common-sense improvements to airline security have long since insured that it can never happen again. Eerybody involved is either dead, captured, or vanished. Get over it. Stop sending good money after bad and move the fuck on.
The Chive collects 50 pics of toys, movies and memories from growing up in the 80s. Some really good stuff here, mostly taken from I’m Remembering! (another great site). (via Digg)
HuffPo sticks the words of so-called “conservative christians” in jesus paintings and hilarity ensues. I tell ya, republicans say the darndest things.
A German student created a major traffic jam in Bavaria after making a rude gesture at a group of Hell’s Angels motorcycle gang members, hurling a puppy at them and then escaping on a stolen bulldozer.
Probably not the best news story “evar”, but certainly the best of the week. (via Digg)
These are the things that amuse me.
I am easily amused.
