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

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.

Someone likes their Sci-Fi.

From many and varied sources, if you heard it here first, shame on you!

Ok, probably not. But this infographic from Information is Beautiful shows exactly how petty people can be on the internet.

Fights ranging from whether or not to capitalize the “The” in the Beatles to how to spell yogurt have raged back on forth across the Wikipedia servers with neither side willing to give an inch.

With all the difficulties that face this world I am glad that some people are willing to stand up and fight to say that traditional mayonnaise is indeed made with lemon juice.

God bless you all. (sniff)
