Behold, the Atheist's Nightmare: The Babel Fish!

Insane Mexican Wrestling
Move over WWE, here comes lucha libre, the Mexican version of pro wrestling! The guy spinning is Mascarita Dorada, and his unfortunate opponent is Damian, in a CMLL (Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, a pro wrestling outfit in Medico City) match. Link

Volcano Erupts Underneath Ice
This is pretty awesome: a 2004 volcano erupting from under the ice in Iceland (I guess that's why that country got the name). From Earth - The Biography, starring Dr. Iain Stewart.

Idiot's Guide to Releasing a Bobcat
Why, oh, why would you even think that shovels are adequate protection against bobcats ... Here's what two doofus did when they tried to free a bobcat from a snare trap.

about the "Idots guide to releasing a bobcat"

I'm not getting why its considered "stupid"...
The cat has its foot caught in a metal foot trap. These people are being nice enough to risk themselves to release the trapped bobcat. (I'm going to hope its not their own trap.) The guy is using a shovel to try and press the release on the trap without getting too close to the cat, yes... that puts him at risk but he's trying to help the cat. Is there some other (practical) way to press the release (Other than getting your face down in there and doing it by hand) that qualifies such a statement as "idiot"? The other person came in with another shovel to help wedge apart the jaws of the trap so the cat could get its paw out.
Seems legit to me... *shrug*

you got it all wrong -- the babelfish is used to prove the NON-existence of God. from Hitchhiker:

'I refuse to prove I exist,' says God, 'for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'

'But,' says Man, 'the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'

'Oh dear,' says God, 'I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

'Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

Yeah, those guys freeing the bobcat were not doofuses, they were brave samaritans. I frankly expected a bugger of a slashing when they freed it. Cool cat just glided up the one guy's back and split.

UGH, those scrambled eggs looked disgusting!! I want my eggs thoroughly cooked unless I'm having them fried.
Scrambled eggs shouldn't look like lumpy runny oatmeal! BLEH

Cooks Illustrated tested eggs scrambled with and without salt added before and tasters found the pre-salted eggs better. It's a myth that eggs shouldn't be salted before. The salt helps prevents proteins from overcoagulating so the curd is softer.

Ugh, I agree that the scrambled eggs look awful. It looks like they've already been thrown up. Maybe they're magical self fulfilling prophecy eggs.

Did anyone else watch the Peanut butter: Atheists nightmare video? Do people actually buy that argument?

And yes, Although I like Gordon Ramsey, those Eggs looked way under-cooked.
