The Blog of Genius

So you’re about to get into your friend’s car and you and your three buddies want to sit in the front seat. What to do? Obviously, you call shotgun. But then What? What if two people call shotgun? Are there any special circumstances in which the calling of shotgun can be overstepped? What if one of the people in your group is sick and may vomit all over the back seat? Here are the official rules. I plan on printing them up and handing them out in pamphlet form to anyone who might need use of my car. Nice to have in a pinch.

The friendly people at Angry Alien made a series of flash animations staring bunnies that re-enact movies in 30 seconds. They’ve recapped ‘Alien‘, ‘the Shining‘, and ‘the Exorcist‘ and now present ‘Its a Wonderful Life.’Also, there is ‘Titanic‘, and one of my favorite movies of all time, ‘Jaws‘. Amazing.

I was watching Meet the Press this morning (Yes, I watch Meet the Press) and a female reporter from the New York Times talking about the war in Iraq said, and I quote: “Going to war because you have to is so twentieth century.” The New York Times just lost a point or two on my respectometer. Also, how do they know Bush’s pet name for Putin is ‘Pooty’? Thats the real question.

I am finally nearing the end of my illness. Something like day 11? I can taste food again and ate breakfast for the first time in a week and a half. Cereal is overrated.

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Trailer

I need to read the book, I want to see the movie. This is another reason that I should continue refining my writing skill and shoving manuscripts and short stories down people’s throats. Grrr.

(cough)

I find this entertaining. Don’t ask me why.

I cannot judge, of course, but this is a waste of server space if I have ever seen it. If you had the cash to support a domain name and the server to carry it, would you host a site devoted to the effects different stimuli to a twinkie. Thats right, a site devoted to disfigured twinkies. I’m just going to stop there.

Ah, Postits! For all of you that remember the original Super Mario Brothers, you are not alone. The Engineering Department at the University of California at Santa Cruz has too little to do. They constructed a four story mural in the windows of one of the Campus buildings in honor of National Engineers Week. The project tool less than two hours and, in the end, the Economics Department tore down the Postit Notes on their floor. Darn Econ majors.

Pictures from the inside and outside of the building are on the site and I think that is super.

Yeah, I can do that.

Those crazy Canadians. I found this on the net, obviously: a series of four cryptozoological stamps. Included are bigfoot or ‘Sasquatch’, a seamonster named ‘Kraken’, a relative of Nessie named ‘Ogopogo’, and a werewolf called ‘Loup Garou’. Not shown are the Easter Bunnie stamp, Chupacabra stamp, and Santa Claus stamp.

“Hey Grif: Chupa-thingy. How about that?”

Hahahahaha. An artist with nothing else better to do made this Benito Mussoli Action Figure. What’s more, the guy took it to Walmart and bought it. He had a camera of some sort (maybe on a phone) and recorded the audio and a little video. The guy also made a pamphlet that he distributed in a mall that showed the proper way to riot, similar to the airplane safety pamphlets in Fight Club. So funny.

Also see the Rapper Pez Despensers. This guy must be indepentantly wealthy.

Ever wonder what a spiderweb would look like if the spider that made it was high? Neither have I. But apparently, somebody did and preformed a study. There are pictures of spiderwebs that are under the influence of hash, caffine, LSD, and mescaline. Also, at thebottom of the site are links that will teach you more than you ever wanted to know about illicit drugs.

A friend of mine (Stacy) sent me this link around last Christmas. I apologize to all you that work in the fast food industry. I apologize and laugh. Happy February 23rd. I’ve got a pile of library books due tomorrow. Yeah.

The baby came up on Google. No relation to anything of relevance.

Hahahaha. Do you see anything wrong with this picture? I think Hussien is trying to fit in too much with the smiling. Can’t rush it, Sadaam. Looks like a nice enough guy, if you ignore everything about him other than the picture. Here’s a site with other Sadaam cameos. There are an alarming number of pictures in McDonalds stores. I wonder why.

Moving on…

Ever wonder what serial killers do at night sitting in front of their computer? Well, apparently, David Berkowitz posts on his blog. Interestingly, the .44 caliber killer doesn’t use a computer from his prison cell, but types everything up and has it scanned in by a church. I’m not sure…

I have no link for this. It is rather self explanitory. It looks like that is the real translation too.

Those silly French people.
