That is thoroughly disturbing. I had a Furby when I was little and when he got hit with a hammer by a neighbor kid he made noises similar to that.

I cried and cried but I think my parents were relieved to have the fucker dead.

Then my grandparents sent me another.

Shit, minus the news coverage and the switching to home school this kid sound like most of the lazy dipshits I just graduated the hell away from. Don't get me wrong, I love, love, LOVE vidja games. I just don't think they should matter THAT much. Unless you design them, I guess.

Oh my god.
That is so cool and wrong on so many levels I can't even begin to explain.

Oh geez, as soon as I saw the homeopathy part and the number of comments I knew we were having an internet fight. Sorry boys and girls, but fighting on the internet is stupid.

Anyway, cool article. The boiling water/snow bit was really cool. I was a little sad you didn't mention superheated water a little more in detail, because when water is heated past boiling point and does not boil, it does the same thing when disturbed that supercooled water does. One difference: IT EXPLODES!

That's really fun! I only got up to 20, I think there's a bit of a learning curve. Sucks using my laptop mousepad, though.

You're right about animals eating ground up other animals and getting brain rot as a result. By consuming the infected tissue of a dead animal they themselves became infected. But the big difference here is that he wasn't ground up raw like a dead cow. He was cremated and the only thing left is grit and ash, and at this point his remains are probably about as hazardous as a handful of wet sand. I think that's a great way to pass on, you won't take up any space and you make some fish super happy.

Comparing some old dude's eccentric and ultimately harmless last wish to a bunch of violently murdered women being eaten by pigs kind of makes you a butthead.

My dad's aunt worked at a poultry farm and got to take home irregular eggs if she wanted to. So she would come home with long eggs, mini eggs, bumpy eggs, and really big eggs with two or three little yolks in them. If you own chickens you tend to see some funny eggs too, but that's a really weird one.

Re: ted, it makes sense that you might think it was fake because it wasn't cracked, but usually people crack eggs rather gently along the size to avoid loose shells that you have to pick out of the mixing bowl. Plus, the fluid that was already in there probably cushioned the smaller egg from damage.

Perhaps he was picked on by bears as a child. You know, "Give me your lunch money, I'll beat you up, you're a twerp." Etc. Statistics show that half of all childhood bullies are bears. Hairy honey-suckers, all of them.

Agh! Lewis! Don't ruin it for everybody!

Ah, nothing better than watching a couple of angry people have a totally pointless argument and yell at each other across the internets. The deepest thought I had on this subject, however, was A. that it was kind of yucky but not as bad as the forked penises and B. that the nipples looked like pepperoni.

Yes, the drop bears will follow you through the trees and wait until you fall asleep. Though in some areas their numbers are sinking due to wiser (and more violent) people's tendencies to shoot a couple of rounds into any and all trees around them.

It's one of the Iron Giant's fingertips. After they blew him up, anyway.

I think it's just a preference thing. That said, I should probably go and mate with my sister's old baby blanket.

Da link don't work!

FIRST!!!

...Oh, well, I guess not.
