I got a little weepy at the end while watching this. Not just from considering our future cyborg overlords either. - Link (via lifehacker.com)

Sarah Palin and Dinosaurs
"Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago -- about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct -- the teacher said."- The Huffington Post - Link; Art by Zina Saunders - Link

Colin Powell Endorses Barack Obama
I don't know if this makes up completely for the whole UN-WMD fiasco, but it helps. I really believe Colin Powell is very intelligent and honorable, and I think he was probably pissed about hanging his ass out in wind for Dubya and ending up as his patsy. I wish he had been more diligent and suspicious of Rove, Wolfowitz, and Cheney from the beginning, though. - Link

Peanut Butter Slices
"If you’ve ever thought making a peanut butter sandwich was just too much of a hassle, then I have the product for you: P.B. Slices. Here’s a list of stores selling the slices in the USA. I also learned by exploring the P.B. Slices site that arachibutyrophobia is the fear of getting peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth. This site promises to cure the phobia in just 24 hours. Via Serious Eats." - Neatorama

Guerrilla Gardening and The Man
I dig (pun) the idea of Guerrilla Gardening. There's actually a group that's active here in LA. With all the spare time I have (not), I'd love to get involved. But just take a look at the video to view the kind support of the public servants who took an interest in the activity. Good Job. Way to keep the public's best interests in mind. - Link

Free Range Whole Human
This kind of art tickles me. I just spent a long weekend in DC working on a project with my good friend at his excellent studio space. His set-up continues to make me more and more jealous as his cool tools and skills increase. Go Brook! Our collaborative project is nothing like this, but it reminds me of his art. Superb. - Link (via Random Good Stuff)
Who should have the Turd Twister?
- Great for special occasion gifts: marriage/divorce, dating/breaking up, golf tourneys, gift for the boss (you get the picture).
- Perfect for decade birthday parties: 20,30,40,50, etc.
- When you don't want to give the same boring gifts... be original! - Link

To Generate Buzz, Clap Your Hands on the 'Net!
These guys started off at Conn. Why am I always the last one to hear about this stuff? "Over two weeks this past June, all of those forces mobilized to support a group called Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, a five-piece rock combo based in New York and Philadelphia. It was one of scores of bands making music without the help of a record label, pressing CDs themselves and selling them at concerts and on the Internet." - Link (All Things Considered)
Joe Shit, The Rag Man
I heard a new expression today, and I absoluuuutely loves it. Besides being colorful and having an association to a specific sub-culture (always of interest to a writer/word-hound), it also suites my taste in mature and evolved humor (read infantile/scatological). "Joe Shit, The Rag Man" is apparently: a generic screw-up or an un-squared away Marine. - Link (devildogs.cc)

Coulrophobia
"Coulrophobia is an abnormal or exaggerated fear of clowns. It is not uncommon among children, but is also sometimes found in teenagers and adults as well. Sufferers sometimes acquire a fear of clowns after having a bad experience with one personally, or seeing a sinister portrayal of one in the media." - Link
