I don’t post links to other blogs very often, but you absolutely, positively must go and see this one. The blog is titled “The Whether Man” and since November 22nd the “Whether Man” has recorded a weather report from the rooftop of his Queen’s apartment every morning at 6:00 A.M., clad only in his boxers […]

While watching Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy tonight on HBO I was suddenly struck with a moment of insight: Tridents are spectacularly comical, especially if someone dies from a trident-wound.

I listen to the liberal media way too much, because I was under the assumption that Bush doesn’t care about issues like the effect of global warming on the environment.

Games like this are the reason I can’t get a damn thing done.

Boy, do I feel stupid. I tend to think of myself as a fairly well-informed guy, and then tonight I find out that last week at UTSA, the university where I attend grad school, a group of atheist students set up a booth where they were trading porn for Bibles. They called their little initiative […]

Go use the “Hero Machine” to make your very own hero. There are plenty of options if you want to make a male hero, but not so many for the female. Still really neat”¦but kinda nerdy too. Here are the two I made:

I’ve been sitting here for several minutes trying to come up with something satirical and humorous to write about a federal grant opportunity I found on-line, but my revulsion over the implications of the grant are stifling any comedic re-writing.
