Silica Gel: Do Not Eat.

The Houston Press, among other sources, points out Islamica News, a sort of Muslim Onion. Headlines include “Man Blames Everything on Jews” and “Halal Butcher Loses Finger, Hopes No One Notices.”

“That’s not a conversation! That’s Keno!”

Confused? Just watch.

Or, at least, it’s fun to pretend who might.

This page collects the most recently posted pictures from angst-fest LiveJournal. It’s oddly compelling.

Update: The link above has been changed to a local mirror, as the original host quickly burned through its bandwidth allocation. Fortunately, he also released the script into the wild.

Remember that penguin batting practice game? As it turns out, YetiSports.com has much, much more.

Khaaaaaaan!

This little game is truly twisted.

Tony said this was great, so I checked, and he’s right.

Ali G interviews Posh and Becks. Example: “David, they say posh people talk as if they got a plum in their mouth. Does your missus sound posh when she got your plums in her mouth?”

How about a mosaic portrait of John Ashcroft comprised entirely of porn images? (Thanks, Chris!)

If you’re as weirded out by Plaxo as I am, you’ll be pleased to know they have a global opt-out feature.

Back in the sixties, apparently this sort of thing was a real problem, as you can see from this educational film pointed out by Agent Kirst, whom I’m sure knows plenty about the subject.

City-Data.com includes statistical information for just about every municipality in the US.

Little Fluffy Industries has a variety of Flash games to fill your work-day.

What with that movie and all, much has been made lately of Mel Gibson’s rather nutty theology. Well, get one thing straight: he’s utterly sane compared to his father, who has helpfully written books detailing just exactly how much of a nutbird he is.

Agent R of Austin points out this IKEA ad, which we like quite a lot.

“They are coming. May God have mercy on our souls. They are coming.”

The Hall of Technical Documentation Weirdness is home to a number of odd warnings, manuals, and illustrations, not the least of which being the bit at right.

I’m not sure if these people are medical or not, but anybody who makes a Thorax Cake MUST be on the same wavelength with people like my stepsister, who amused us on Thanksgiving about finding an erection-restoring appliance in her med school cadaver.

Turn on your speakers — and your woofer, if you have one — and check this out. More by this artist can be had at TokyoPlastic.com.

Strongbad’s 100th email isn’t quite ready.

Well, okay, so maybe it’s ready now — in WIIIIIIIIIDESCREEEEEEN.

A fine example from Strongbad’s Email.

…but there’s just no way on God’s green earth we’re doing this to Bob.

The complete Catalog of TV Tropes, Idioms, and Devices. Plus, it’s a Wiki.

Example:

Jones the Cat Any utterly helpless or powerless victim whose primary purpose is to allow the audience to empathize while providing the opportunity for the hero to overcome their own fears and ultimately risk their life on that character’s behalf. Prominent in science fiction, and stereotyped by the Alien collection of films (Alien – The original feline Jones, Aliens – Newt, Alien Resurrection – Winona Ryder.) Willow fulfilled this role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer until she outgrew it (via forays into TeenGenius) and passed the mantle onto Dawn, the Buffyverse’s very own CousinOliver.

HouseGymnastics, poised to sweep the nation.

The Official Rules of Calvinball are now online for reference.

If he had, then we might’ve had something like the cartoons at Making Fiends.

The Top Ten IKONOS Satellite Images of 2003. They’re 1-meter resolution, and can be zoomed. Very, very cool. Don’t skip the one of Victoria Falls.

Tbogg has this to say:

According to Amazon, the soundtrack from Mel Gibson’s The Passion: Smack My Savior Up is number two with only wanton whore of Babylon Norah Jones’ (who still doesn’t know why she didn’t come) Feels Like Home keeping it from the top spot.

Heh. (Yes, we’re stealing a feature from TMFTML.)

GodHatesShrimp.com.

Finally, porn that’s safe for work. No, really.

You know all those times we’ve posted something about crazy people? Real nutbirds? Well, these guys take the cake: they purport to host the Official Website from the Afterlife for John Lennon and George Harrison, complete with illustrations, descriptions of concerts, etc.

One thing of note is that John and George recently appeared as Jesus and Judas in a concert performance of “Jesus Christ Superstar” with Queenie as Mary and Al Jolson as Pilate, plus members of the Angelic Choir and Orchestra. It was a huge success and, as it turns out, the Man Himself was pleased with John’s performance.

Wow. That’s really nuts.

Tony points us to this compendium of photo-graphs of extremely odd fish.

Farrah, we beg of you, in the name of all that is holy, please GET HELP.

Okay. We appreciate that there is some danger that posting something like this could turn us into those people who obsess about their pets, and about pet-related things. We understand, though we don’t really think there’s much danger of that. It’s just that even bad TV shows catering to the pet-obsessed occasionally show something truly hilarious — if you like cats.

…Diztopia management is featuring it, and now we can’t find it here, so: Quotes from the Movie “Jaws” in Which “shark” is Replaced by “Jimmy Page”. Enjoy.

Japanese costumes can be very odd.

For a couple thousand quid, you can pick up a taxidermied 8-legged piglet that died in 1917. As an added bonus, it’s apparently also a hemaphrodite.

We wish it to be noted that we do not want one of these for our birthday.
