Joy Division never gets old, believe me. I've been listening to Joy Division consistently for three years. Not once have I gotten bored of them. Seriosly, how could people compose songs that are so perfect? It almost seems unnatural |

| Steelers fan's funeral |
[Jul. 7th, 2005|10:39 pm] |
Damn it, what a way to go. From the article:
Smith's family asked the Coston Funeral Home in Lincoln-Lemington to place his body not in a casket, but in a recliner that faced a television playing Steelers highlights, with a remote control in his hand.
The body was dressed in black and gold clothing -- traditional Steelers colors -- and a blanket bearing the team's logo was draped over an armrest. Sitting on a table next to the chair were a pack of cigarettes and a can of beer.
Yeah, I guess fan obsession works for some people, but personally, I just want a normal casket and then some dirt over top of it. Simple,I know, but it works. |

| Waiting for Bigfoot |
[Jul. 7th, 2005|12:05 am] |
So basically, some big shot artist decides that she wants to meet bigfoot -- and then send a live video feed of her meeting to an art gallery. She even creates a website for it, Waiting for Bigfoot, in which she hopes the intarweb will finally see the moment of first contact. But wait! She's actually not looking for Bigfoot:
Most Bigfoot encounters occur when people are just camping or hiking or generally *not* looking for Bigfoot, so I don't feel compelled to spend my time Bigfoot hunting. I will, however, be exploring the areas in a manner that might be conducive to an encounter.
Uh huh. Sounds like a plan. Don't do anything, and Bigfoot will find you. More and more this is already sounding like Waiting for Godot. Stop the presses, though! She isn't just waiting, she is conducively waiting!
I will refrain from using scented body products, and will refrain from bathing with soap at all. I will swim in a nearby river for general cleanliness. I will also set apples in a remote vicinity about a mile from my site, in hopes of getting a footprint. I will play a variety of Bigfoot audio recordings in the evening to encourage a return call.
Wow. So basically her plan is to go jump in the river, go for a hike, and blare Bruce Springsteen Records into the woods. Yes, she is being paid for that and gains the title of "artiste" in the process. Well, ma'am, I'm not going to think any less of you for getting money and name recognition for camping, but I'd really like a cut of the action.
Oh yeah, and here's the life feed. If you see Bigfoot before I do, send me an email. |

| Cereal boxes |
[Jul. 6th, 2005|11:45 pm] |
I had no idea there was a cereal subculture that exists on the web, but apparently there is. Cerealville is nice little shrine to cereal that features mere pictures of cereal boxes. Sure, nothing to deep, but it's fun to just look through them and think to yourself, "Yeah, I totally remember staring at that box when I was eating Cap'n Crunch."
Also check out this site if you want to delve deeper into the cereal subculture. |

| Neanderthal Genome |
[Jul. 6th, 2005|06:24 pm] |
Okay, this is way, way cool. According to this article, "German and U.S. scientists have launched a project to reconstruct the Neanderthal genome". Personally, I'd like to see a Neanderthal cloned. I know, I know, lots of people would be up in arms if that happened. However, lots of questions in my mind would be answered. How would a Neanderthal interact with a Homo Sapien? How would he communicate? Would he be able to understand language? Would he be able to mate with a regular human?
Gosh, I'd love to see lots of extinct species cloned too! |

This is funny because I really wasn't trying to troll wtf_inc. Huge debate over gender pronouns and whether it is right to call a woman a man is she insists on you calling her a man. 258 comments and counting. Now, before you call me a bigot, at least take the time to read through this:

| Wacky Therapy in China |
[Jul. 5th, 2005|04:51 pm] |
 Boy undergoing shock therapy
It's about time that the hysteria over net addiction reaches a saturation point. While, I do not doubt that there are people out there that are suffering from net addiction, I have strong doubts that net addiction is an epidemic. Computers, and especially the net, are simply a matter of necessity in this day and age. If needing to use a computer counts as addiction, one might as well state that one is also addicted to water, food, and clothing. Still, if you are actually suffering from net addiction get therapy.
However, China is taking "therapy" to new limits in absurdity. Oh, we already know about how their censoring bloggers and decrying the immorality on the web, but it's not as crazy as this:
The [therapy] routine begins around 6 a.m. and includes sessions on a machine that stimulates nerve impulses with 30-volt charges to pressure points.
Some patients receive a clear fluid through intravenous drips said to "adjust the unbalanced status of brain secretions," according to one nurse. Officials would not give any other details about the medication. So let me get this straight: people are being electrocuted for their net use? And they are being drugged intravenously? Well, I would be afraid to use a computer too after being treated like that! |

| Motel Sign |
[Jul. 5th, 2005|10:48 am] |

So much of my life was spent inside motels. Back when I was a private dick on the tough hewn streets of Reno, Nevada, I had to make it by the skin of my teeth. And when I say skin of my teeth, I mean that my teeth don't have skin. Anyway, my only solace during my insomnia-drenched nights was the black-and-white drenched cablevision, and my counselling sessions with Mr. Handy -- the tin flask I always kept in my left breast pocket. Sometimes Imelda, the street wench with a heart of gold would stay the night and tell me, "This one's on the house sugar." I wanted to believe her, I really did, but when could I do when "Busted Eyes" McGable was making a mockery of the law? And what was worse, the establishment absolutely ate him up.
Those were the days. Those were the Motel days. |

| All the Christians are moving to South Carolina! |
[Jul. 5th, 2005|09:50 am] |
 Cory Burnell President, Christian Exodus
Yet another crazy website I've found. Christian Exodus is an effort of getting all the Christians to come out of their debaucherous environments by getting them to migrate to South Carolina. From the article:
ChristianExodus.org is moving thousands of Christians to South Carolina to reestablish constitutionally limited government founded upon Christian principles. This includes the return to South Carolina of all "powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States." 1 It is evident that the U.S. Constitution has been abandoned under our current federal system, and the efforts of Christian activism to restore our Godly republic have proven futile over the past three decades. The time has come for Christian Constitutionalists to protect our American principles in a State like South Carolina by interposing the State's sovereign authority retained under the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Of all the half-baked plans out there, this one is up there. So abandon all the sinners, the people you are purportedly trying to save, by hijacking a state and turning it into a theocracy. Sure, that makes sense. More reasons to not think people in South Carolina are sane. |

| Naturally absurd |
[Jul. 5th, 2005|01:09 am] |
One of the beautiful things about LiveJournal is that people are not attuned to the naturally absurd. Oh, they are attuned to the conventionally absurd like "OMGZ!!!!!1!1 U G0 gRRRL!!", but not statements like, "American destroyed democracy when they duly elected George W. Bu$h." No, if you make too many statements like the former, all the well-meaning rebukers will come out of the woodwork to make their point, prompting a game of "How absurd I can go!" In fact, that very thing happened today.
In fact, I'm surprised what absurdities people find believable. Is this a broad symptom of the internet, or just LiveJournal in particular? |

| Save Toby! |
[Jul. 4th, 2005|08:10 pm] |

What a way to make a buck of greenish hue. No, I'm not talking about Canadian money, but the real stuff. Some guy named James Mceahly is saying that if you don't pay him $50 000, he's going to eat his pet rabbit Toby on November 6, 2006. Already, the guy has amassed $30 000. From the website:
I don’t want to eat Toby, he is my friend, and he has always been the most loving, adorable pet. However, God as my witness, I will devour this little guy unless I sell 100,00 copies of my book, Save Toby: Only you have the power to save toby. You can help this poor, helpless bunny’s cause by purchasing the book online at Amazon.com by clicking HERE, or by purchasing merchandise at the Savetoby.com online store.
Okay, this may be a hoax, but I don't think it's so out there. I mean, butchers kill pigs for a lot less. And really, how long is this rabbit's life? I remember, when I worked at the chicken slaughterhouse a long summer ago, that it is very easy to take an animal's life -- and get only $9 an hour for killing hundreds of them during that hour. So really, this guy has come up with the perfect get rich quick scheme. |
