Under a Gibbous Moon

I am, like most people, not particularly fond of spiders. Damn things are always crawling around where you don’t want them and leaving their webs right at head height across every sidewalk they can find.

A man in England took his dislike of spiders to the extreme when, in an attempt to get rid of it, managed to blow himself up. Flammable gases and open flame just do not mix. The man received burns to his arms, legs, and face, the remains of the spider were not recovered.

Warning signs will now be placed on all old Bill Murray comedies lest someone destroy the universe trying to cross the streams.

Damn smelly hippies

I’ve read this article and I’m still not really sure what is going on. I suppose that is the way the law is these days. All I know is the last question is priceless.

If you lose this suit and the court orders you to pay 38 quadrillion dollars, how are you gonna pay?

Gee, If I make $500,000/year and they garnish 90% of my wages, then I will only have to work until I’m a little over 84 billion.

Of course that just makes a sucker out of the plaintiff. Even if the Mayan calendar thing is wrong, the universe will have collapsed long before he ever gets his pay.

It’s like an insta-bankrupt attack. Like back in the SNES days and playing final fantasy and you get to a high level and you are attacked by a butterfly with 3 hp and you do a whirlwind attack for 300,000 damage–splat– butterfly is now defeated.

You don’t even have to add up all your assets and properties and what not. Just take off your pants and walk away.

It’s too bad the lyrics to this music video are unintelligible, maybe they would provide some sort of context for what the hell is going on and why the hell someone is keeping a huge rocky mountain oyster as a pet. It’s also possible the the lyrics are quite clear and the horror on the screen simply blocks it out. All I know is that this music video is a textbook example of what is known as “shooting yourself in the foot”.

Via Great White Snark, whose penchant for rocky mountain oysters is legendary.
