Cool black metal logos

Here's a brief interview with this Belgian guy who designs bitchen logos for black metal bands. On the interview page, click the image to check out a slide show of logos. Badass calligraphy in the service of the Dark Lord.

Ignore the cheese at the start. It is worth it if a bit disturbing at times.

Meteorite lands in western Canada

This is from a cop car's camera. I think there are other angles available. Pretty cool.

Keepin' it surreal.

Sarah Palin speaks to local tv while turkeys are slaughtered mere feet behind her.

A modern day Robin Hood

Beginning in spring of 2007, a mystery vandal visited businesses at night, pressing his naked behind — sometimes his groin, sometimes both — on windows. The marks were made with lotion or petroleum jelly, and while police had earlier worried copycat criminals were getting involved, Scott said they now believe it's "the act of a lone deviant."

Ladies and gents, the story of the Butt Bandit.... Thanks to Gina for sending this one.

Was Newsweek ever a reputable magazine?

I think it sheds any credibility with the publishing of this article, in which the possibility that Obama might be the "antichrist" is discussed. It's baffling how this medieval bullshit remains so prominent in an age when information is so readily available.

Neal, you should order this for the library.

This is an actual book. Buy it here from the evil empire. Apparently, the asshole on the cover is suing the publisher for libel. As if he is not a douchebag. If there's justice in the world, he will lose.

dear god my eyes!

You'll get a kick out of this Neal.

Don't watch this video (nsfw)

I couldn't figure out how to embed the stupid video, so you'll have to click this link.

I warned you not to watch it.

they don't make em like they used to

what if there were dinosaurs in the civil war?

Yes a real museum, and still not as stupid as the Creation Museum.

"Imagine, if you will, a load of horseshit. And we’re not talking just your average load of horseshit; no, we’re talking colossal load of horsehit. An epic load of horseshit. The kind of load of horseshit that has accreted over decades and has developed its own sort of ecosystem, from the flyblown chunks at the perimeter, down into the heated and decomposing center, generating explosive levels of methane as bacteria feast merrily on vintage, liquified crap. This is a Herculean load of horseshit, friends, the likes of which has not been seen since the days of Augeas.

And you look at it and you say, “Wow, what a load of horseshit.”"

I started a book review blog for work a few months ago. Not much on there yet, but if you guys are interested in what midwestern librarians are reading...

The party is never going to end, you know.

More like Nancy Boys

We've all seen album covers with guys dressed up like this. You know, those "worst album covers of all time" lists floating around the internet. Here's a webpage that features promotional photos of more of these bozos--swedish dance bands, evidently. What I find interesting is how many of them there are. Nowaday, dressing like that is considered aberrant behavior.
