  • Slashdot gibberish

    I know I’m a day behind on this, but every now and again, Slashdot posts a story that is so incomprehensibly gibberish-sounding that I point and laugh. Yesterday was one such: Time Dimension To Become Space-like.

    ‘We show that regular changes of signature on brane-worlds in AdS bulks may account for some types of the recently fashionable sudden singularities. Therefore, the fact that the Universe seems to approach a future sudden singularity at an accelerated rate of expansion might simply be an indication that our braneworld is about to change from Lorentzian to Euclidean signature. Both the brane and the bulk remain fully regular everywhere.’

    What the hell is that? I can’t even follow it. I can’t even pretend to follow it. I think Slashdot is trying to write dialog for a Star Trek episode again.

  • Geeky things that I find enormously funny

    A random collection of things that… well, the title pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?

    • “There’s two roles I think [Steve] Buscemi was born to play. The first is Cobra Commander in a live-action G.I. Joe movie. ‘Retreeeeeat!’” source
    • I found the trailer on YouTube for the never-released 1994 Fantastic Four movie… it is so bad. (And wow, what’s the deal with the effects/costume/WTF for The Thing? It’s hysterical, but at the same time, freaky as hell.)
    • The “Expendable” Red Shirt on ThinkGeek (“Just don’t stand next to us when you wear that thing.”)
    • “You’re single because you use emoticons.” someecards.com – many more much, much funnier but waaaaay too raunchy for me to repeat
    • “And then a second and a half later I thought, ‘wait, this is exactly how Uncle Ben died.’” source
  • lolcats

    So have you been exposed to lolcats yet? If not, check out here and here. I can’t help it; they make me laugh. I mean really, really laugh. Especially the random ones.

    I've been hit

    Jesus Christ it's a lion GET IN THE CAR!

  • Lego skeletons are cool

    We had a great spring break trip to San Diego last week, and while we took a bunch of pictures, there are three especially that I couldn’t resist posting here. Mostly because they’re so messed up and random.

    The first two are from Legoland. That place is like the Lego Disneyland—lots of rides and fun things, with Lego sculptures everywhere. Pretty straightforward concept, right? That’s why it’s totally awesome to run across something like this:

    Lego skeletons are cool

    I wants me a Lego Skeleton Kit™ bloody well right now.

    And among the various other Lego sculpture decor, most of which was themed and made sense, there was this:

    Lego rabbit with a chainsaw. WTF?

    What. The. Hell??

    Best. Themepark. Ever.

    Earlier in the week, we visited the Fleet Science Center, and they have a section especially for kids there called “Grossology.” While most of the Grossology exhibits are pretty much what you’d expect, there was no way I could pass up taking a photo of this genuine video game:

    Urine The Game. Really.

    Yep. Played it. Need a PlayStation version.

  • These Santas are so wrong

    SouthFlorida.com is running a photo gallery of kids scared of Santa Claus, which is gut-busting funny. (Really! I laughed out loud at a lot of these.) But some of these Santas are so messed up that I had to re-run them here. (But go check out the rest.)

    Like this one…

    Bad Santa!
    Hard-drinkin’ Santa

    Or this one:

    Bad Santa!
    America’s Most Wanted Santa

    More…

    Bad Santa!

    Bad Santa!

    Bad Santa!
    Bank Robbery Gone Bad Santa

    And while those are fun, what the hell is with these fake Santas?

    Fake Santa!

    Fake Santa!
    Holy shit this freaks me out… it’s like Night of the Corn Santa or something

    And finally, I think we have what qualifies as Worst Santa Ever:

    Worst Santa Ever
    Via Boing Boing.

  • Best. Party. EVAR!!!!!11!1

    C’mon, with a title like that, how could it not be?

    “It” being the Halloween party we went to last night. Costumes, booze, food, and friends. And a giant inflatable Scooby Doo. (Yes, it was this same Scooby.)  Although this year, perhaps the title of this post should be, “Oh my God, they killed Scooby! Those bastards!”

    Yes, that’s right: somebody killed Scooby Doo.

    See, when Scooby disappeared from the back deck (where he was leering in the window this year), the assumption was the thing had deflated. Somebody suggested that Scooby had, indeed, been killed, but I thought it was just the running gag. Until Scooby’s giant deflated plastic corpse was discovered lying in a pool of blood with a large knife in the neck.

    (I think this Family Guy clip applies here. I’ve been looking for an excuse to link to that.)

    I knew I had been beating that dead horse into the ground, but I had no idea it would incite a murderous crime of passion…

    That was a good party.

    Those bastards!

    Random link for the day: Cats that look like Hitler.

    Really.
