In yet another example of the perverse sense of humor of the universe, an Indiana Wiccan stabbed herself in the foot with a sword while conducting a good-luck ritual.
MSNBC shares with us the story of Katherine Gunther, of Lebanon, IN. While performing the ceremony under the light of a full moon1 in a cemetery — […]

Calorie Lab Posts Lies, Defends Itself by Attacking the Messenger
Published by July 19th, 2008 in General Foolishness. 1 Comment“Calorie Lab” is a website that ordinarily publishes more or less useful commentary on diets and diet plans, generally skewing to the reality-based side, but this last week they published a very credulous workup of Stanley Burroughs and his “cleanse” diet plan here.

Or not, perhaps. Delia Derbyshire was apparently responsible for the mix of Ron Grainer’s Dr. Who theme in 1963, but damn, she did some other innovative, amazing work in the analog era.
Hit this link and listen to her piece under the ‘Timeless’ header; or just hit this.

On the Quantity of Methane in Unicorn Emissions
Published by July 19th, 2008 in General Foolishness. 0 CommentsYes, another reply to a riposte from James Lileks of the Minnesota Star-Tribune. If it keeps up at this rate I might have to add another category.
Thursday he was in rare form, and opened with a nice salvo:

BREAKING: Black Man Refers to Blacks as ‘Niggers’
Published by July 17th, 2008 in You Must be F***ing Kidding and General Foolishness. 0 CommentsOh, those terrible liberals and their too-free plays on words. Fox News, the leader in unbiased nonslanted Actual Journalism, reported that while Jesse Jackson was saying he wanted to cut off Barack Obama’s nuts, he also used the other n-word when referring to negroid negro dark black people.
The horror, the horror of it all! Damn […]
It’s surprising sometimes what you can lapse. Remember Bomb Pops? The red-white-blue multi-veined popsicles peddled from the back of the ice cream truck?
Well, okay, maybe not — and this isn’t a post about childhood nostalgia nor longing for the Days of Old When Things Were So Much Better, gag.

Some say his wealth and famous opportunism are reminiscent of the robber barons of yore. Yet here is a man who has set a goal to eradicate malaria. Rich as he is - his net worth is an estimated $50 billion - you can’t call the man greedy when he […]
Quite Possibly the Best Photo I’ve Ever Taken
Published by June 21st, 2008 in One Thousand Words. 0 CommentsSaturday was the Literary Extravaganza hosted at Beale Street Brews.

Chinese South Africans now black
The title is from the Beeb. The report is that Chinese living in SA have been officially recategorized as black in order to receive affirmative action benefits.
The sense, of course, is obvious. As far as many white people are still concerned, there’s whites … and everyone […]
