Days the federal terror alert system has been in place: 1,311
Days spent at terror alert level Green or Blue: 0

Pre-Inquisition Conservatives are proudly hawking the notion that dinosaurs and blue-eyed white guys were holding bake sales together 5,000 years ago. Because it’s not enough to merely believe God created the universe — he also specifically planted an entire false history of the universe to screw with you, you sodomy-loving, DNA-believing-in, post-Newtonian bastards.

. . .
That’s it. I’m done. You might as well kill me now, because it’s the Apocalypse. All life on this planet is no doubt mere days away from coming to an end, because really — mankind couldn’t possibly get any stupider. Not possible.

“Bush says he doesn’t want to play the “Blame Game.” Makes sense. Never heard of a chicken who wanted to play the “Extra Crispy” game.”

Remix

This flash animation is less than impressive, but the remix of Eminem in the background is genius. It’s like kiddie-carnival Eminem. Truly bizarre…

Remember Ball Revamped? Well, I went back and beat it in an astounding 850 seconds.

Beat that, and I’ll give you a cookie.

Arrrgh

Got a half hour to kill? Then play Ball Revamped, an incredibly addictive flash game.

I got to level 69 before getting frustrated and quitting.

Everest

Everest

This is a 360 degree view from the top of Mt. Everest. It’s breathtaking.

I’d climb Everest in a second, if given the opportunity. Or better yet, one of the surrounding peaks. So I could avoid seeing the thousands of discarded oxygen bottles and heaps of frozen feces.

I’d really love to live in the mountains someday. The views, the air, the immensity of it all… It just kinda excites and invigorates me, y’know?
