  • Houston Police Department Trials Unmanned Drones

    Houston police test an unmanned aircraft at an event shrouded in secrecy, but Local 2 Investigates caught it all on tape.

  • Firefighters to Fight Terrorism Because:

    They don’t need warrants to enter homes. Yum! Firefighters in major cities are being trained to take on a new role as lookouts for terrorism, raising concerns of eroding their standing as American icons and infringing on people’s privacy. Unlike police, firefighters and emergency medical personnel don’t need warrants to access hundreds of thousands of […]

  • Meet Your New Nazi

    Catching up on the news: Mulkasey got through. After much raging. The Democrats finally drop telecom immunity from the bill. Fucking idiots. It should have been ‘off the table’ from the beginning. Colorado Supreme Court affirms fertilized egg as person: “In a terse 7-0 decision today, the Colorado Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the […]

  • FOX Desperately Tries to Make Bush Look Good

    If you have any doubt that FOX anchors will grasp at straw after straw lest their exalted leader look incompetent, check out this video on Crooks and Liars: Fox & Friends cheerleads for Bush and aviation, but gets punked

  • Death Proof (2007)

    I can’t remember if I posted my review of Planet Terror or not. Death Proof is the second part of the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino homage to the exploitation grindhouse movies of the 1970s. Kurt Russel plays Stuntman Mike, a Hollywood stunt man with a penchant for killing pretty young women – with his car. A […]

  • Wilde Restaurant in Lakeview, Chicago

The interior seems very out of place compared to the restaurants in the neighborhood which have a more minimalist […]

    I find it crazy that the only place you’re going to learn about the anatomy of a woman on television to be the Tyra Banks show. [youtube]c39sirXOad4[/youtube]

  • Nympho Homicidal Carrion Beetles

    From InsectPod: Carrion beetles need a tiny corpse, such as a dead mouse or vole, in order reproduce. When they find one, they use pheromones to attract a mate. After mating, the male and female stay together until their young are raised. As with any healthy relationship, the first thing the young couple must do […]

  • Hitler Took Strychnine Pills for Chronic Farts

    Well this explains everything doesn’t it?   Spasmodic stomach cramps, constipation and diarrhea, possibly the result of nervous tension, had been Hitler’s curse since childhood and only grew more severe as he aged. As a stressed-out dictator, the agonizing digestive attacks would occur after most meals: Albert Speer recalled that the Führer, ashen-faced, would leap […]

  • Chimera Twins: 2 Sperm, 1 Egg

    Ron and I had it out a few weeks ago after a tense Nova special about twins if it was possible for 2 sperm to fertilize one egg (yes, we fight about Nova – sometimes I think the things we argue about are luxuries compared to what other couples argue over). Ron took it a […]
