@ Tawhimby: I was thinking the EXACT same thing.

Wow, the bird even has the photographer's name on it! What luck!

Ha! Was just at Goodwill a few days ago, and they had about 7 or 8 copies of JM in a row.

I work at a grocery store, and instead of having meetings about customer service, we have "friendliness meetings". Good Lord.

Oh my God, his hat is so unfashionable.

The newscaster is just as arrogant as the kid. She really annoys me.

Agree with Willo (43). How do you guys not understand that killing bugs for safety/property protection is WAY different from killing bugs for someone's idea of entertainment? Most of you have no problem with the idea of slaughtering a cow to feed people...but that doesn't mean you'd be okay with torturing a cow just to watch it suffer, does it?

It's bad here because humans are facilitating these fights. WIthout them, chances are good that none of these bugs would have come in contact with one another. Bugs fighting for survival in the wild is a natural part of life, while this is not.

I have to say that links to animal cruelty videos is very uncool. I'm disappointed.

Apparentely, hotlinking upsets his wallet.

"Cryptobotany" is the study of "hidden plants", or plants that are rumoured to exist but whose existance lacks significant scientific evidence.

The world's largest carnivorous plants are of the genus Nepenthes. The Nepenthes rajah is particularly notorious. Found only in Sabah, a Malaysian state in northern Borneo, these giant pitchers have been reported to trap frogs and small rodents.

"Christmas in the Stars" was the title of a now out-of-print Star Wars themed Christmas album. C-3PO and R2D2 were the central characters, and were in fact voiced by original actors Anthony Daniels and Ben Burtt, respectively. The album featured horrid reworkings of classic Christmas songs ("R2D2, We Wish You a Merry Christmas") along with even worse originals ("What Can You Get A Wookie for Christmas [When He Already Owns a Comb], which manages to be as bad as the title suggests. (Sample lyric: 'No, he'll never wear galoshes / or a hat upon his furry dome'). This is all interspersed with "dialogue" between 3PO and R2, about bells, Santa Claus, the improbability of Christmas existing, and the like. As if this couldn't get any better, the album also features a teenage Jon Bon Jovi (listed as 'John Bongiovi') singing lead on "RJD2, We Wish You a Merry Christmas". Reportedly, this is the earliest recording of Jon Bon Jovi.

Here's a link I found on Megaupload (via Google) to a .ZIP file containing the entire album. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XR0H92DW

The aftermath of the FedEx driver's strike.

Come on, people. Is it REALLY that hard to go on Wikipedia, or look in an Atlas, and find out that Liechtenstein is 160 square KM? Or that Bermuda, Gibraltar, etc. are TERRITORIES, not countries? Or that Sealand is a fucking joke? You should do some research, like the author, before making assinine statements that are wildly inaccurate.
