Someone took a bunch of screen caps of a pirated DVD of Star Wars: Episode III. The translation was English >> Chinese >> English. There’s shit in there about elephants, the Milky Way and the Presbyterian Church.

Got my hands on an MF Doom mask. This should guarantee tenure.

If you like The Avalanches, iFilm has their video for “Frontier Psychiatrist”. It’s a bit weird, the song is fantastic.

The Onion has a parody of the intelligent design assertion.

KANSAS CITY, KS—As the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools continues, a new controversy over the science curriculum arose Monday in this embattled Midwestern state. Scientists from the Evangelical Center For Faith-Based Reasoning are now asserting that the long-held “theory of gravity” is flawed, and they have responded to it with a new theory of Intelligent Falling.

Things fall not because they are acted upon by some gravitational force, but because a higher intelligence, ‘God’ if you will, is pushing them down,” said Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts University…

Some evangelical physicists propose that Intelligent Falling provides an elegant solution to the central problem of modern physics.

Anti-falling physicists have been theorizing for decades about the ‘electromagnetic force,’ the ‘weak nuclear force,’ the ‘strong nuclear force,’ and so-called ‘force of gravity,'” Burdett said. “And they tilt their findings toward trying to unite them into one force. But readers of the Bible have already known for millennia what this one, unified force is: His name is Jesus.

Speaking of old posts, I unwittingly left this one in draft mode for a few weeks.

Japan finally allows exposed genitals in movies to be seen with clarity. No more blur-mosaics. Still no answer to, “What’s up with the tentacle porn?”

This guy’s work is amazing. He creates sidewalk chalk drawings in 3D. The works look skewed when observed from any angle except one. Here’s a good example:

Bluegrass girl astutely asked the question, “Why is there not a category for boobs on this site?”

The initial reason was so that the site wouldn’t be blacklisted by censor-ware apps (not just NetNanny-types, but enterprise/institutional-level filters as well). Some of those programs look for a certain ratio of keywords per page. Because the category names are on the sidebar, and the sidebar loads on every page, the ratio would be >1 on every page if the category name was one of those keywords.

However, the need for the category is clear. We just need to come up with a sufficiently obscure name for it. Everyone’s input is welcome. I’ll start us off:

• Globes of Fun
• Hooblertown
• Hanging Twins of Boobylon
• Grand Tetons
• Racks
• What Tootie Grew
