I think that less literal readings of the Bible generally don't involve Cain marrying his sister. According to the footnotes in the Oxford Annotated Bible, the narrative about Cain and Abel Chapter 4 of Genesis was likely based on a Babylonian narrative that has no connection to the Babylonian narratives that the rest of the first few chapters of Genesis were based on. (Funny how I never heard about that in Sunday school.)

Ick! How in the hell is this "neat?"

Even if this site seems to have a slight tinge of testosterone poisoning, this is a fairly good list of books. There are a few I would've left off (I actually think that The Dharma Bums is a much better Kerouac novel than On The Road), but overall, not a bad list. I also really like a lot of the pictures of books that accompany the list.

I can never hear about people like this without thinking of the Patricia Highsmith short story "The Breeder."

There's a Mexican restaurant close to me that has a similar sign.

Didn't something like this happen on that episode of The Simpsons from about ten years ago that was set at Lollapalooza?

I'm still waiting for the car from the short anime film "Riding Bean":

Any chance of this thing opening up a portal to some other dimenson and some kind of horrible H.P. Lovecraft beastie coming out? That would be pretty cool. (I just got an urge to go rewatch John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness).
