It's Lego Trogdor! Yeah, I know. I take no pride in posting this.

Seavey has been scooped: Conservative Punk Magazine

A few weeks ago, one of my law professors shared a fun little conspiracy theory with the class. After watching the president in that TV interview he gave, he was convinced that the based on Bush's facial expression when asked when Bin Laden might be captured that A) Bin Laden had already been captured and that B) the announcement would be timed to fit the November elections. At the time, everyone in class had a good laugh, but what if it was true?

Local TV News station allows businesses to call in and post weather closing notices. Childish pranksterism ensues.

Long before American Idol made this kind of atrocity possible for the average dimwitted nobody, there was Cory Feldman.
It sure is... something.

Who says there's nothing to do in North Dakota?

"Lacey Lafromboise, a fifth-grader at Turtle Mountain Elementary School in Belcourt, N.D., tested the saliva of her cats, Jasum and Daisy, and her pet dogs, Copper and Lady. One of the dogs spends most of its time outdoors. She said that dog has more bacteria in its mouth, probably because it chews on things outside.

"'On the other hand, the indoor cat is dirtier than the cat that spends most of its time outdoors,' Lacey said.

"She hypothesized that the indoor cat's habit of eating table scraps created more bacteria."

Drag queen becomes professor

Who's running Hillsdale's CCA lecture series now? This would make for a great Imprimis...

"A German drag queen has been given an honorary professorship from the University of Hamburg's faculty for Gender Studies to teach Queer Theory.

"Oliver Knoebel, better known in Germany as drag queen Olivia Jones, has said he feels honoured to have received the title of professor."

This has nothing to do with anything, I just found this image over at FARK and couldn't stop giggling.

This blog officially supports William Hung for president.

I usually try not to post anything of real substance, but I'm making a slight exception here. I've noticed in the last week the tide turning in lots of subtle and not-so-subtle ways in favor of John Edwards. Between one of my law professors boldly announcing he had just met the next POTUS and volunteering in the NH primaries, The Onion choosing to lampoon Kerry, the whole Kerry non-scandal getting a lot of play, this thread over at Plastic, the request in my inbox to join his campaign, a separate invitation to hear him speak at Columbia, the fact that the media seems to have nothing bad to say about the guy (but plenty to say about Kerry, Bush, Dean, etc.), the prediction that many moderates and republicans will prefer him to Bush, and now the additional support of Aaron Bailey(?!?), it all makes me think that it's gonna be a very interesting end-run.

Cleaning out my inbox:

The engineering student who posed as an economics professor well enough to deliver 9 hours worth of lectures to grad students and is now catching flak for it.

I can just see the number of site hits for "nazi flair" quadrupling already.. I should introduce them to the folks who get here via freemumia.blogspot.com - a special thanks goes to Malice for keeping the dream alive.

More dark humored flash toons:Lenore: The Cute Little Dead Girl - along the lines of Happy Tree Friends and Making Fiends.

Update: Lenore is a complete sociopath.

I have a new hero.

Here's a nifty gallery of surreal images. Fair warning: not for the easily disturbed.

For those dying to know.... the puppet episode of Angel was one of the best this season. And next week, we get to see Fred die!

Update: YEAAAAAAAARGH!

The concept of the "I Can Eat Glass" Project is simple-- to compile a list of ways to say the phrase "I can eat glass, it doesn't hurt me" in various languages.

Another post for an oddly puppet-themed week: Disney buys Jim Henson's Muppets which apparently includes Kermit, Animal, and Fozzie, but does not include Big Bird, Cookie Monster, or Elmo. I never thought my muppet loyalties would be so divided. Whatever would Statler and Waldorf think?

(Incidentally, what a fun site!)

George W. Bush had Michael Jackson arrested so that Ann Coulter could kill welfare recipients.
