Stuff People Do

Those are eggs. Meticulously stacked and balanced atop one another, forming a metropolis.

Nothing says "unity" like a dirtbike in church!

It seems like Jeff Harlow was trying to practice some XTREME faith by doing some kick-ass motocross tricks during part of a church sermon. Somehow this act was supposed to demonstrate the idea of unity. Call me old-fashioned, but maybe Jesus wasn't as much of a sk8r b0i as Jeff might like us to believe.

Offline Wiki

A German company is publishing a hard copy of their version of Wikipedia. It'll be abridged, and rigorously edited (spoilsports), so somehow I doubt there will be much in a way of sale beyond the novelty value. In other news, Germans are apparently as mature as we are in terms of browsing habits, at least according to this niftily stolen chart from the NY Times. My question is whether these search queries are verbatim, or if some of them have been translated.

Also, in relation to the previous post on the Wasp Knife, a followup by Wired magazine reveals that the internal-organ-burst-freezing melee weapon second only to the chainsword in awesomeness was originally designed for the vast and untapped market of undersea divers who regularly fight sharks and the occasional octopus. Not only does the knife kill said shark by freezing its innards and shattering them, but the injected air bubble is designed to float the magnificent beast to the surface before it explodes so as to prevent the blood from said gaping explosion wound from attracting more sharks. Metal.

Your computer might be murdered just by visiting this site

Apparently Blogger hosts 2 percent of the world's malware. Who knew?

All the more reason to use Firefox, NoScript and, just be on the safe side, GNU/Linux.

Paul Morse, Leading Researcher

As has long been hypothesized by preeminent researcher Paul Morse of Yale University, the European Heart Journal has reported a connection between birth weight and health later in life.

"Eight-year-olds who were smaller at birth were more likely to have 'vascular resistance.'" But only for males. I don't really understand or particularly care, but shout out to Paul.

Inventing New Ways to Kill

Ever stab someone but they just didn't die? The WASP hunting knife will be providing certainty in an uncertain world from now on.

Just stab your victim and watch as their insides are filled with a basketball sized shot of compressed gas released by the stabbing.

Knife crime has been on the rise in Britain of late, and with such awesome knives I don't see why the US hasn't switched over this more gruesome killing tool. 100% endorsed by The Joker.

McCain camp should be careful what it wishes for

The LA Times reported Wednesday morning that McCain is going "on the offensive" against a perceived TV media bias toward Obama. Given that CBS, for example, is already destroying its own credibility by editing out McCain's serious mistakes(!), I say let him have all the TV coverage he wants. Put a camera on him 24/7. Then maybe the American people will start paying attention to this supposed foreign-policy expert's multiple references to countries that don't exist, mangling of history, concern about the "Iraq-Pakistan border," confusion of Sunnis and Shiites, and other incontesibly unpresidential mistakes. It would be charitable to say that the media has been giving McCain a free pass—imagine what would have happened if Obama had missed that fortuitous three-pointer in Kuwait!
