This picture is hysterical for so many reasons. First, you don’t even see the whole cat on first glance. Second, his face is saying one of two things: (a) Oh shit, I got caught! or (b) Um, I need some help RIGHT NOW! You decide.
You’ll feel dirty after reading this, and I don’t mean dirty in a good way. I mean unclean like you should go bathe in bleach and give yourself a crushing head injury to get the visual out of your mind. If you’re at all familiar with the children’s television program called Saved by the Bell, you’ll undoubtedly remember the character Screech (played by Dustin Diamond). Well, he apparently has his own skin flick where he does a three-way with two women and does things like the “Dirty Sanchez” (if you have to ask what that is, you probably don’t want to know, but you can always go here for the nasty details). Go ahead and toss your cookies at the thought of Screech in a porn flic and of anyone performing a Dirty Sanchez. I did.
Mug shot indeed. Does it get any cuter?
The private space race keeps heating up. Now there’s a new space travel firm by the name of Benson Space Company. It’s the latest business jumping into what I hope to be a booming new market.
And in the same breath, Virgin has just unveiled its plans for SpaceShipTwo, including “cushioned reclining seats and lots of windows during suborbital flights.” You can see some of the concept photos in the article. Very cool!
The Ultimate Blog Post at Wired. It’s hysterical. About the author: “Born helpless, nude and unable to provide for himself, Lore Sjöberg eventually overcame these handicaps to become a handyman, a handicapper and a handmaiden.” Need I say more? Good stuff.
The lights went out in Iceland last night for a very good reason. “Authorities in the capital Reykjavik [turned] off street lights on Thursday evening and people [were] also … encouraged to sit in their houses in the dark, writer Andri Snaer Magnason said on Wednesday. While the lights [were] out, an astronomer [described] the night sky over national radio.” Why don’t we do something like that? America’s citizens are so out of touch with nature that such an endeavor would be a fantastic if only small way of trying to remedy that.
Check out this photo of twin lakes discovered on Titan, one of Saturn’s moons. Dubbed “Kissing Lakes” because they are joined together by a small channel, it’s likely the two features contain a mixture of ethane and methane (since it’s too cold on Titan for them to be filled with liquid water). Contents aside, this is a dramatic representation of how non-unique Earth actually is. I think we’re getting closer and closer to discovering some kind of life on another planet, and even more exciting is the probability that we will discover it right here in our own solar system. In addition to the Kissing Lakes, 10 additional lakes have been discovered near Titan’s north pole.
