From daveholmes via delrayser. Via twitter, I think.
So here are some things that happened this afternoon that I am not lying about:
Ben came in from getting the mail and said, “There’s a giant tortoise loose outside.”
“Oh. Okay. What?”
“There’s a giant tortoise loose outside. Come look.”
[Go read the rest of the post, it’s really good. I promise]
I’m always excited when odd things happen to other people. It’s not just me, people. It’s not just me.

Reply to: gigs-qcscr-1587216337@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]Ensturzende Neubauten Covers Band needed to perform at my daughter’s 4th birthday party. We already have a Faust one and an Amon Duul one. You will need to recreate and do a note for note rendition of the Expo 86 performance from Vancouver. There will be no animals or pets present so that will be one less thing to worry about. Your performance will be at 11.15am sharp at Brentwood Elementary. We have rented a 5000 watt PA system. Faust have eaten up all our entertainment budget so just being at Lulu’s party should suffice. Party bags and cake will be presented to you upon leaving by the party girl herself. no jelly bellies and most of all no time wasters.
I don’t know if it’s real or not, but either way it’s hilarious.
Husband and I were at the grocery store recently and I took a wrong-turn and ended up in the cereal & snacks aisle.
Operation Fruit Snacks. This has to be one of the weirdest products I’ve ever seen. The most disappointing part is that the snacks aren’t even shaped like internal organs. Husband wouldn’t let me buy a box, but from the cover it appears that the corn-syrupy “fruit snacks” are shaped like frogs and birds and something that may or may not be intended to represent Gomer Pyle’s head. (Kids, ask your parents).
I really don’t get it.
I was going to go with a scientific – or at least vaguely sensible – title, but it’s early and I’m lazy.
Here’s the Serpent Project website. Here’s a picture of a dead oarfish that washed up in Perth 5 years ago. Here’s the Sea Serpent page at Shadowlands, probably one of the oldest cryptozoology and unexplained phenomenon websites on the Interwebs. And now, here’s me going to get a cup of coffee.
