Not so far-fetched, see: Spider in ear.

I appreciate everyone's concern and support. This issue of what should and shouldn't be on Neatorama have cropped up many times before. (I refer you to the arguments previously hashed over at Neatorama's Elephant Hanging post.)

I really didn't think this topic would offend anyone, but given the wide spectrum of readers that visit the blog, I'm not surprised. I think that the material presented (as well as the images, which are mostly historic illustrations anyway) aren't terribly shocking.

The aim of Neatorama is to give its readers interesting things to read. This means different things to different people. What is safe for some is boring for others, so I opt for a little derring-do every now and then, if only to keep the blog interesting. I'm sure that this will not be the last controversial post on Neatorama.

For all you loyal readers, my continued thanks for visiting the blog!

Wow! That's awesome. I wonder how it compares to the wooden rubber band machine gun.

It's a good thing it's not THIS big cat!.

Oh no ted, the secret base is here in America. Just follow the black helicopters and the secret codes behind the traffic signs.

Fantastic! Liberty Vader is my favorite!

I don't think so - the previous photos were able to identify water and ice on Mars. This is for sure a hole in the ground.

Err, don't forget that in addition to the drawings they also found *torture implements*. Oh yeah, and when they raided the darned place they found a victim hanging from the ceiling by chains!

Bad call? Bad call is when you go for greasy Chinese when you know you shouldn't. Or maybe hitting the golf ball with the wrong club.

Filing a lawsuit to stiff another entity over money from the kindness of strangers is so much more than just a bad judgment call.

I was surprised there's even the option to choose "no." Shouldn't dictator's ballots have only one choice?

So, both the Assyrian and the Jews claimed victory. Apparently propaganda is older than indoor plumbing.

Maybe there'll be a little valve that allows you to siphon off a little of that compressed air to dust the inside of the car ... ahh! how clean the seats will be ...

Hm - that's a good point, Tyler. These posts are scheduled way in advance and I just didn't notice that it hit on Memorial Day.

No slight was intended, and I do appreciate the sacrifice the soldiers and personnel of the US military throughout the years.

How widely is the "click" sound found in African languages? If memory serves, the !Kung language also has the same sound.
