The two funniest things I’ve seen today
- The wonderful YouTube Series – “Will It Blend” featuring marbles, cell phones, rake handles, etc
- An edited version of Pulp Fiction that contains only the F-word. Surprisingly long. Not safe for work by any means.

Nietzsche at the end of a long, poorly focused day
Today’s quote is
A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.
Friedrich Nietzschevia the Nietzsche Family Circus
Just have to love the Germans.Somehow I’ve let all of the tedious work that has to be done during the month have to happen today. Diagramming, estimating, writing, organizing. Humbug. Everything has taken forever today.
On another note, the photos I took on Saturday turned out well, and surprisingly Gothic and noirish. All of my more recent shots have gone in a Sin City direction. I’ll post them soon.

Quotes of the moment – Saturday morning Edition
I came across these while perusing the internets…
I just need enough to tide me over until I need more.
– Bill HoestFeel like you’ve lived a wee bit too long? Looking for a spectacular way out — one that’ll keep your family crying in disgust for years on end?
– Defense Tech – from a post about a personal helicopter“I do not think people who have bad things in their minds would wear a burqa,” he said.
– CNN Article about a possible Dutch Mask Law -
Why the long pause….
For anyone reading, I’m still swamped with work. And I’m grinding my teeth again. While I’m awake.
Random Commentary, regarding the song “Fluorescent Light Blues”
Sitting at a computer all day and you’d think I’d get the odd writing done, but those white tubes in the ceiling kill the muse with vibration shooting 20 rounds of white light every second right at your brain. May it’s creator burn one tier above Hitler, right next to the sonofabitch who gave us the child-proof cigarette lighter, while the inventor of the smoke detector gives them the finger from his cloud next to Lincoln.

The three funniest things I’ve read today
Both arise from this post by Althouse, entitled Wisconsin, the necrophiliac’s playground.
Surprisingly necrophilia is not illegal in Wisconsin. One of the comments is
You’re just jealous because you’re not dead.
I read the two articles linked, the first of which yielded this gem
Authorities said the three were not acquainted with the woman but had seen an obituary with her photo.
which makes me think they were holding out for a hot corpse.
Radke said Grunke asked him to help because he wanted to dig up Tennessen’s body for sex, the court documents said, and the three had stopped at a store on the way to the cemetery to buy condoms.
Condoms? One would think the necrophiliac crowd would be a bit more devil may care about such matters.

Quick Sunday rapid fire
- An hourly motel in the sky, more info here.
- The funniest quote I read yesterday is from this blog, to wit
Every adult must at some point have paused during some slapstick piece of debauchery and thought, “Christ, this is ridiculous“. Having testicles is like being chained to the village idiot. Sad, but there it is.
- The famous “What year is it?” essay. What year you compare our modern times to determines your current outlook, pretty interesting. Personally I think it’s 1905, and Radical Islam is best compared to the Bolshevism of that period, but all comparisons are, by definition, imperfect.
- The Seventh Seal was an incredible movie
- This is an incredibly cool time lapse movie, regrettably, in QuickTime, but still good.

Midweek rapid fire
- Real life Pac Man – hysterical
- One must not question the existence of Global Warming – This is in line with a trend I’ve been noticing in the media and it’s associated hacks, which is the annoying “No serious [insert either scientist, economist, expert, industry insider, analyst] disputes the existence of [insert theory that one is pushing]” mantra.
- Proportionate responses – one of the more daft comments on the Israel -Hezbollah conflict was that Israel’s response was disproportionate. Intentionally proportionate responses went out with the Greeks, and it’s only by accident now when the response is proportionate. The whole notion of strategy is matching strength to weakness. That is most of Sun Tsu’s Art of war.
