"Dr Disreputable" informs me that he can no longer read this comic from work.  It's been labeled "entertainment."  Sad to see him go, but what's he doing reading comics at work?  Lazy bastards, and I thought you all were college kids.  Get back to work!

Death in the snow  "A body is found in the frozen North Dakota woods. The cops say the dead Japanese woman was looking for the $1m she saw buried in the film Fargo. But the story didn't end there."

Bill and Ted 3! Petition "The world could even benefit from another B&T movie... people nowadays dont laugh enough, or they are always laughing- but only beacue they have become insane... bill and ted can really save the world through their being truly bodacious in a time of need        Wyld Stallyns to the rescue!"

Lianhuanhua Picture Stories From China

Waitress Uniform Collection   An otaku illustrated guide to serving uniforms of Japan.  (At least it's a very logical fetish, combining the essential survival elements of sex & food.  After all, what most guys really want is a pretty girl to make them food and fuck them afterwards.  Or before.)

My favorite waitress, Flo, the "Mel, kiss ma' Grits!" sassy belle from TV's "Alice," isn't listed.

British Scientist Puts Odds for Apocalypse at 50-50  "He lists as mankind's biggest threats: nuclear terrorism, deadly engineered viruses, rogue machines and genetic engineering that could alter human character. All of those could result from innocent error or the action of a single malevolent individual"  One less dental appointment.

Martha's New Digs  Decorating Martha Stewart's Jail Cell.

Following the Chaps Man "I stood about ten feet from him and watched people approach us. When a person caught sight of his hairy, bare-assed self, they would immediately elbow everyone they were with, pointing him out." (via MF)

The best grave stone EVER.

The Simplified Spelling Society (SSS), founded in 1908, promotes the cause of reforming the spelling of Engish words.  &  Why English spelling should be updated.

"Filmmaker Spike Lee is suing Viacom Inc. because its planned Spike TV, with programs like Pamela Anderson's "Stripperella" cartoons, will damage his reputation."

"The Banach-Tarski Paradox is well-known among mathematicians, particularly among set theorists. The paradox states that it is possible to take a solid sphere (a "ball"), cut it up into a finite number of pieces, rearrange them using only rotations and translations, and re-assemble them into two identical copies of the original sphere. In other words, you've doubled the volume of the original sphere."

Cel colouring in Paint BBS. "This is a basic tutorial with basic colouring. Yeah, very basic. (9 steps)"

Can't even go a few FUCKING seconds without swearing?  Ten Tips for Taming Your Tongue might help.

"The story was a true account of how a young couple was ruined by a group of religious fundamentalists because they were the only video store owners who dared to carry Martin Scorsese's controversial film, The Last Temptation of Christ .  The couple stood up against relentless harassment, intimidation, and even death threats. When the couple refused to buckle, the religious zealots blackmailed the District Attorney into destroying their business and family."   Sad, it wasn't even that good of a movie.

Cold FuZion Studios  Another one of those Anime/Fantasy "I can draw just like Joe Mad," "gone after three issue" dudes.  (Note the Anal Floss/ Reverse Camel Toe/ Elf Ears/ Big Tits/ Huge Sword combo. You know with a cover like this, the story's GOT to be good! Wow! Via ANS)

Democracy Quotes

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." -Samuel Adams

"19 terrorists in 6 weeks have been able to command 300 million North Americans to do away with the entirety of their civil liberties that took 700 years to advance from the Magna Carta onward. The terrorists have already won the political and ideological war with one terrorist act. It is mindboggling that we are that weak as a society." -Rocco Galati

"They have always taught and trained you to believe it to be your patriotic duty to go to war and to have yourselves slaughtered at their command. But in all the history of the world you, the people, have never had a voice in declaring war, and strange as it certainly appears, no war by any nation in any age has ever been declared by the people." -Eugene Debs

"We stand today at a crossroads: One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other leads to total extinction. Let us hope we have the wisdom to make the right choice." -Woody Allen

"There can be no daily democracy without daily citizenship." -Ralph Nader

America's imperial delusion "On the other hand the US, like revolutionary France and revolutionary Russia, is a great power based on a universalist revolution - and therefore on the belief that the rest of the world should follow its example, or even that it should help liberate the rest of the world. Few things are more dangerous than empires pursuing their own interest in the belief that they are doing humanity a favour."
