Easy Bake Oven creator dies
Sad news people: the creator of the Easy-Bake Oven, Ronald Howes Sr, died over the weekend at 83. Apparently, 20 million of the ovens have been sold since it first came on the market in 1963.
From around the interwebs Thursday!
I start off with the most ridiculous item of the night (if we don’t count T-Pain-ized news coming up momentarily…) where apparently, a guy in California got a little too much in the face of another man with his health care finger wagging and got the tip of his finger cut off. The 65-year-old, at [...]
Zombie songs
I don’t know anything about the subculture of people who enjoy zombies, but this website of rewritten lyrics of popular songs for zombies is hilarious.
Ant slave rebellions
I saw this on Boing Boing this morning, and it kind of reminded me of a short story I wrote back in college. If I find it, I’ll post it up too. Anyhow, check out the link to this blog citing an article from Evolution.
Dead body delivered instead of fish
I could make tons of jokes here: they delivered Luca Brazi to the pet store since he’s been “sleeping with the fishes.” Or “We’re going to need a bigger tank for this one.” But mostly, this story from Philadelphia reminds me that even my biggest of screw-ups don’t come close to delivering a body instead [...]
The meanest thing ever done to a teacher
I could see someone spiking the punch at their junior prom with some vodka, or even possibly giving teachers pot brownies. I’m sure that sort of thing happens all the time. But putting LSD in a teacher’s coffee and then letting him lead a field trip? That’s just mean. The first person account of the [...]
My stories all take place inside my head first
It would seem psychologists have come up with a study to tell the world something I already know: fiction gets simulated inside of the brain! Why do I know this? Because much of the way I write is done first in the head, and then on the page. I have to visualize a story inside [...]
Temperature controlled beach…
Wouldn’t a temperature controlled beach just defeat the purpose of going to the beach in the first place? Might as well go to White Water instead…. Via Boing Boing
So wrong, so nasty…
From the makers of Bacon Salt comes Baconnaise, a new “sandwich spread” that tastes like bacon. Look, I like me my bacon, but this is just taking it way too far…
Georgia Bigfoot (obviously) a hoax
As if this was a big surprise. Apparently the guy who owns Searchingforbigfoot.com paid the cop and his buddy who claimed to have found Bigfoot were um, well… less than honest with Tom Biscardi after he paid an undisclosed amount of money for the body and the two men to do the press conference. Honestly, [...]
