Miscellaneous, etc.

…with the kind of page that makes you laugh, and then worry, and then feel a bit sad and panicky because people who think like this could be walking past you on the street right this minute. 

Assuming that you read the internet while you’re walking on the street.  Look, don’t get logical with me, this is freaky shit.

Seriously, there could be someone who thinks this:

Gravity: Doesn’t exist. If items of mass had any impact of others, then mountains should have people orbiting them. Or the space shuttle in space should have the astronauts orbiting it. Of course, that’s just the tip of the gravity myth. Think about it. Scientists want us to believe that the sun has a gravitation pull strong enough to keep a planet like neptune or pluto in orbit, but then it’s not strong enough to keep the moon in orbit? Why is that? What I believe is going on here is this: These objects in space have yet to receive mans touch, and thus have no sin to weigh them down. This isn’t the case for earth, where we see the impact of transfered sin to material objects. The more sin, the heavier something is.

…sitting next to you right now.  And I chose a mild example, I didn’t even get into the ones about evolution, rape, translating the Bible, and why “technology” is different from “science.”

Breathe deep, dive in, and then maybe go watch the Chacarron man to balance creepy madness with whimsical insanity.

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I first saw this, but it’s one of those things you see and wish you’d thought of yourself, because it’s so simple and so brilliant:  Garfield strips with Garfield’s dialogue removed. 

Sure, you can accuse Garfield of being a pre-packaged comic strip that’s deliberately bland, to sell the most number of coffee cups and tee shirts.  Take away Garfield’s semi-smarmy commentary, and put the strip into the context of Jon living alone with his cat, though? 

You get subtext on a whole new level. 

For those of you who were as tickled as I was by the intepretive dance number (done at a Hamiltonian radio station — woo Canada!) to Sesame Street’s Pinball Song, you’d be well-served to check out this incredibly thorough list of Pinball Song covers. 

There are over a dozen, including the video I liked so much, and they’re all downloadable.  I’m serious, go get them, and then if you’ve ever got people over and they’re surfing through your iTunes collection and finding all your embarrassing video game music or Belinda Carlisle albums, just direct them over to these and wow them with your retro kung-fu.

You will be hip.

Your Belinda Carlisle will be forgotten.

(Actual content coming soon, I just got a little box of Imitrex and I’m trying to find out if it works.  It’s hard to be whimsical and funny when your head feels like it’s bleeding from the inside.)

…and vote for me in the Canadian Blog Awards.

And this made me laugh so hard it went away, for a few minutes:

One two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve!
