Adblocker updated today. I think I've nailed most of the castlemedia ads and hopefully that annoying intellitext crap.

Great gallery of old-timey boxing photos. I really can't say I know anything about boxing during the 30s 40s and 50s but these are just some excellent Raging Bull-esque photos. Although this one reminds us of the grim time before child labor laws.

Sonic "crowd control" weapons are here to stay. I'm sure the Republicans are thinking of pointing this right at Cindy Sheehan's face.

She comes from the land of the weirdo automatic door! I'm sure this is more conceptual than practical, but it is pretty cool looking. Don't miss the video.

What song goes best with this clip from star wars? I can't decide between Tarzan Boy and Du Hast. What an odd little flash project. To switch songs click on the white rectangle. Personally, I didn't think Christopher Lee pulled off the "tough evil guy" look in either LoTR or SW. He looks too much like a kindly grandfather type.

AlternaWorld: Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong get stranded on the moon. This is what Nixon would have said. Makes you wonder what other prepared speeches heads of state have. I mean, other than resignation speeches.

Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.

These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.

When will the Kansas School Board accept the truth? Can we get Tom Cruise to sign this? Why isn't anyone pushing Unintelligent Design? So many mysteries...

Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel. We feel strongly that the overwhelming scientific evidence pointing towards evolutionary processes is nothing but a coincidence, put in place by Him.

Google photoshops out sexy parties on the roof of the White House. Supposedly this is so secret service positions and equipment aren't exposed to the public, but who knows. I like to imagine Karl Rove on the roof beating up some underling with a baseball bat.

Anti-Climactic Twilight Zone episodes.

All the Time in the World

A humble bank clerk bemoans the hectic pace of his life because it limits the time he gets to spend with his books. After an H-bomb attack, the clerk emerges from a bank vault to learn that everyone else on Earth has perished. The man becomes ecstatic when he realizes he finally can read as much as he likes. Later, however, he finds he must spend a lot more time foraging for food than he expected, and at the end of the day he just wants to sleep, so the whole thing is a bit of a washout.
