Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die... at least according to this wingnut



Pencil it in your calendars, folks, the doomsday cometh tomorrow, June 12th.

On a totally different note, happy 98th birthday to Jacques Cousteau!

Proof there is true evil in this world

Only someone intimately connected with the big red-horned man himself could devise this alarm clock - it connects, via wifi, to your bank account and donates your own money to a charity you hate every time you snooze. I can only imagine trying to explain to the bank when they call you up about a 8.264 million dollar overdraft when the power surges and your alarm clock temporarily goes insane with your money.

There is no place on Earth...

... left cellphone free. When even the top of Mt. Everest gets cell reception, you know the end must be near.

HS Essay

Stellar essay on WW2 and an unsung hero.

My particular favorite is the "Oh God, no" comment written about halfway down.

Fun with captions...



"Hello. Oh hey honey how are you? Oh no things are quiet here, not too much jihad today. What? Oh yeah I can get milk on the way home. Oh no, no, no... I did not forget to pick up Mahmuhd on the way home tonight.... What? Why are you always like this? Why can't we just be happy?

Carrots

For everyone else's entertainment/pondering... I just woke up from a nap, since I came home feeling very ill. Chilled, light-headed, headachy, shaky, slightly nauseous... I feel completely better now. This is at least the third time this has happened that I can remember, always immediately after eating... baby carrots. Can one have an allergy/intolerance to carrots?! I tried googling it, and carrot allergies that come up are more like typical food allergies- itching, hives, anaphylactic shock. Very weird.
