Cheap Gore Goes Down Like Sugar
The blood and gore and dead animal images are a bit disturbing, but some of these pictures are completely arresting. I love the stuffed bear with the exposed brains. Not sure what that says about me, but there you go.

All Look Same
Do all Asians look alike to you? Take the Test and find out. Here’s an interesting fact about me. I was almost perfect with the women, and almost completely screwed up the men. I guess it’s all what you pay attention to. Anyway, I split the ticket for 9 out of 18 which puts me…

Finally!!
So, TiVo recorded Gilmore Girls for me last night. And, that’s good because I feel like Gilmore Girls is one of the few really good shows on right now (although I am sort of getting into Lost). The thing is, I get it off of satellite, and there was a crazy amount of rain here…

Straw Origami
This straw art is amazing. I’ve seen some cool things done with paper origami, and I’ve seem some lame things done with balloons. I had NO idea that there were people who were so creative with straws.

Fellowship 9/11
Fellowship 9/11 is a bit tedious, but then so is the guy they’re skewering. I never saw Fahrenheit 9/11. I’m probably sympathetic to the message, but I can’t stand the messenger. Still, from what I can gather from clips and things I heard, this looks like it’s probably a very successful parody.

Ketchup – Who Knew
The Ketchup Conundrum is a great read. I had no idea that flavor balance was such a precarious thing, or that so much thought and research went into creating mass market foods. Now, I want to go have a burger with a great big dollop of ketchup, but as with wines, I’m afraid that my…

Cross-scolded
Man, Jon Stewart went on Crossfire and took the whole show to task with both guns blazing. Samples: BEGALA: Well, it’s because, see, we’re a debate show. STEWART: No, no, no, no, that would be great. To do a debate would be great. But that’s like saying pro wrestling is a show about athletic competition.…

Wow! Frank Horvat knows a think or two about making photographs. Really nice stuff.
