It's the ancient rite of the cheap Spider-Man costume.

Looks like a FanCon for "Weird Science".

This might explain it...look near the end of the article.

"AHHH smell your essence young grasshopper !!!!"

The guy does reconstructions/models of extinct critters. He's made a diplocaulus (or so he says towards the bottom of the article), and it made me wonder whether or not that the thing in the bucket might be that model, since apparently, with the exception of a couple of posts on a cryptozoology site, there are no real live ones anywhere.

The same pic shows up on a couple of those aforementioned sites.

Someone has *got* to send that one to Jay Leno. Priceless.

What an attentive and concerned mother...:rolleyes: Well maybe she knows her baby's more likely to be a premie and have other weird health problems from the smoking she's doing and so she hopes to be the sole cause of her baby's problems. :eyebrow:

I got this picture in an email, I have no idea where it was taken or the story behind it but I know I wouldn't want to go kayaking there. :vomit:

It is emergency SARS protocol. Or maybe, maybe, there's a horrible joke in me that is fighting to get out... it's on the tip of my tongue.

NO! it's not! I didn't mean that!

There's water under there?! Looks like he's just rolling along over tubes, slippery paper and cylindrical bottles, 2-liter type.

are you sure it isn't the London Themes...?

Woo the pregnant woman lives on Bullitt Ave.! That, besides the fact that shes such a f*cking idiot, makes my week!

BAIT!!!!

My secretary, who lost her mind when she turned 50, sends me pictures like this a lot.

But without the photoshopping.

She also sent me a notice regarding an upcoming event in Philly about a "sacred rite" that's going to be conducted.

In a bar.

Involving the opportunity to be pierced with fishhooks, have a bungie cords attached to them and then you yank on them. They are doing "beginner" piercings too ... smaller fishhooks and rubber bands that you pull on yourself.

She sent me this as a means of claiming that doing such a thing is a spiritual act. The notice lead off with a statement that this work would be conducted in "sacred space".

No, I told her, this is just weirdos and freaks using an opportunity to get off in public.

I forwarded the notice to a Native American friend of mine who is a SunDancer.

Haven't heard back from him yet.

The fishhooks used by the wierdos who get their freak on in public do not have barbs. Some suspension piercers file the barbs off themselves, others have their hooks made to order.

Yes, I know far to much about this for someone who doesn't do it and wouldn't consider trying it.

Gods bless the internet, and the Discovery Channel.
