Groovy, Baby!

If you didn't get enough shagadelic Sixties vibes from the Austin Powers Goldmember movie and are still clamoring for more peace and love, get thee to The Groovy Times.

I Want to Believe...

Earthfiles is a source of info for all that stuff you can only file under X, like crop circles, ufos and other weird anomolies. There's also a radio show you can listen in on.

Man Charged with Assaulting Goat Mayor.

Yep, that's right. A man assaulted the mayor of Lajitas, TX, who is - in fact - a goat. Apparently he was upset because the mayor (again, I repeat - a goat) was being allowed to drink beer on Sunday, in defiance of the town's local blue laws. Did I mention he also castrated the beer-swilling goat-mayor?

Well, Folks, We've Hit a New Low...

As far as youth sports go, anyways. We've all seen the stories about parents freaking out and assaulting one another at Little League games and about parents assaulting refs and coaches, as well. I don't think I've heard of a coach assaulting a player, though - that's what happened to a 12-year-old girl recently at an elementary-league soccer game. Apparently she was on her way to a hat trick when the opposing coach freaked out and attacked her.

Alas, it's come to this, my friends - we are a Nation of Barbarians. It's official, I guess.

Homer in the Land of the Rising Sun

At Japander.com you can find quicktime downloads of american celebs like Mel Gibson and Madonna doing the shameless advertising and media-whoring they're adverse to doing here in the States. Be sure and check out the Simpsons CC Lemon spots.

Behold, the Instruments of the Devil!

Here's one of a million reasons I'm hoping diehard Muslims never take over the planet - a page detailing the etiquette involved in the everyday process of taking a whiz. For starters, urinals (above) are most definitely out - though, as stated in the article, "Even Imaams of Musaajid are exposing themselves shamelessly and filthily in public view by using these bestial kuffaar contraptions."

There's also a laundry list of other chores you must perform before answering the call of nature, such as reciting prayers to Allah on entering and upon exiting - " O Allah I seek Your pardon. All praises are due to Allah who has taken away from me discomfort and granted me relief." - for instance, as well as informing you of which foot to step into the bathroom with first, etc. From what I can tell, it seems to be an all-day process and I'm surprised anyone gets anything done over there because it sounds like by the time you've done your business in the proper fashion, it's time to do it again already.

Next On Fox: When Platypuses Attack!

Platypuses, those freaky egg-laying mammals that just don't seem to fit in...we all know they're funny-looking freaks, but who knew they were violent, fearsome creatures and a force to be reckoned with? From what they're saying here, these duckbilled abberations of nature aren't to be messed with.

Linky, Linky, Linky

Added a new link today, the little "BlogTree" icon on the bottom right of the page. BlogTree is a sort of blog geneology project - you add your blog and then list the blog/blogs it was inspired by. Clicking on someone's info shows their site was "born", their parent blogs and their sibling blogs - blogs which bear the same inspirational lineage as theirs.

War, Poverty, Disease - Problem Solved!

Has the Evil Empire of Tax Masters and Interest Masters been getting you down lately? Are you tired of the Evil Anti-Christ Government and does the stench of your Average American Firetrap, Mouse-infested Cockroach Den leave you scratching your head and wondering why you persist in being a Tax Slave?

Well, never fear - this bearded, robe-and-sandal wearing hippie has it all figured out and is willing to share with you his Master Plan for Worldwide Law, Order, Obedience, Peace and True Prosperity. I feel better already - have to admit, though, the rock house is kind of cool.

Struck By Lightning

It seems that on television, you're always hearing stories about people who were struck by lightning and lived. Not this guy. Remember guys, lightning is dangerous and we're not all made of the same stuff as that park ranger guy from the Guiness Book. That guy can't even walk outside to get his morning paper without being struck by a bolt of lightning.

Wow...what are they smoking over there in Japan, huh? (via the Everlasting Blort)

Fun Pet or Horrible Monster?

Both, apparently. Here's some info on the recently vilified Snakehead fish that's been making news lately. Found in a Maryland pond a couple months ago, the asian fish - which eats everything in a pond, then walks on land to the next one - it's spread to several states now and is easily the most hated species of fish in the U.S. It's only defense is that it's supposedly a mighty tasty meal. Mmmm...snakehead.

Attack of the Souped-Up Ataris

In a truly inspiring fit of nerdy-inventiveness, the folks at Retrosystem have taken the case-modification craze and jacked it up to the next level.

For a fee, their geek-chic production team will outfit an old Atari, NES or Amiga computer with miniature, up-to-date components like good-sized hard drives, speedy ram and even dvd drives to make for a system as powerful as many recent desktops. Linux and Windows operating systems are included and yes - you can still play that crummy irritating version of Pac-Man on it.

Any Dad Can Build a Tree House

But how many would build their kids a giant Mechwarrior in their backyard? This thing's been posted everywhere but what the hell, let's jump on the bandwagon. It is pretty neat...bet the kids' popularity shot through the roof after dad got done putting this puppy together.

The Evil of Pippi Longstocking

In a classic example of "who on earth would go to this much trouble for a joke", someone's made a webpage that explains - in exacting detail - the hundreds of reasons pointing to movie moppet Pippi Longstocking being the Antichrist.

Sorry for the recent lack of updates, I'll try and get some stuff on here tomorrow...till then, here's a funny flash film featuring Marvel Comics characters in a spoof of "Clerks".
