"I always knew this was going to happen. I always knew that skepticism and science were mere psychological decorations and vanities. Deep in our alligator brains we all know that the world is just chock full of evil and monsters and sinister forces aligned against us, and it is only a matter of time until they show up. Evolution know this, too. It knows what to do when the silent terror comes at you from out of the dark."

The Saddam and George show
The Saddam and George show:
"Ignoring the fact that George Bush declined Saddam Hussein's challenge to a televised debate, Tim Dowling exclusively reveals what could have happened had they met."
Terrah Comet!

- that comet that recently zipped around the sun broke in two, and NASA is covering it up;
- because part of it is coming RIGHT FOR US;
- and that's the real reason for the Terrah Alert!
There's even an MPEG showing a bite missing from the sun.
Scene missing!
A video that used to be embedded in this post has disappeared.
If you know of a copy of this video that is still accessible,
please mail me
so that I can update the link.

Barlow on war motivations
An interesting (albeit hideously formatted) John Perry Barlow article that guesses at what the hell they're thinking: Sympathy for the Devil.
"If one takes the view that war is worse than tyranny and that the latter doesn't necessarily beget the former, there is a case to be made for global despotism. That case is unfortunately stronger, in the light of history, than the proposition that nations will coexist peacefully if we all try really, really hard to be nice to each other."
homemade weather baloon

Jim Meehan built and launched a high altitude baloon running Linux with wireless (packet radio) connectivity, GPS, and a digital camera. The technical details of how it worked, and the hunt to track and recover it, are really not-to-be-missed nerd-porn. But the aerial photos are pretty swell too...
A Shoggoth on the Roof
"There are some things man was not meant to adapt to musical theatre..." This is truly bent.
In addition to the "Shoggoth on the Roof Cast Album", they also have some really nice historical fonts.
