Awesome article in The Onion

I don’t usually post from The Onion, but this is awesome:
There’s No Way I’m Saving That Guy
By Jesus Christ
All right. I realize I am supposed to be all-merciful, universally loving, the Light and the Way and everything, but even a divine avatar of the Supreme Being’s loving grace has His limits. I know I’ve said […]

Top Free Anniversary

Top Free 7 anniversary
About 60 men and women appeared topless at Cobbs Hill Park Friday, to commemorate an event there 20 years ago which created quite a stir, and resulted in a court ruling that said barring women from going topless in public–but not men–was unconstitutional.

It’s just a shame that so few women take advantage […]

Avast me Matey’s!

Blackbeard’s ship found!:
American marine archaeologists believe they have found the wreck of a ship which belonged to the pirate Blackbeard.

Blackbeard’s ship and a new Pirates of the Carribean movie in the same week? The Flying Spaghetti Monster is surely smiling.

Operation removes lightbulb from anus

There’s nothing I can possibly say that could either add or detract from that headline.
But wait, it gets better on its own:

Mohammad, who is serving a four-year sentence for making liquor, prohibited for Muslims, said he was shocked when he was first told the cause of his discomfort. He swears he didn’t know the bulb […]

Democracy owes it’s existence to pirates!

Pirates pursued democracy, helped American colonies survive

Pirates practiced the same egalitarian principles as the Founding Fathers and displayed pioneering spirit in exploring new territory and meeting the native peoples, said Jason Acosta, who did the research for his thesis in history at the University of Florida.

We haven’t just pissed off everyone on Earth

UFO’s aren’t visiting as much, either.
Earth used to be, like, the hottest place for aliens to visit. They would fly billions of light years across the galaxy in their flying saucers just to see how our civilisation was going and if we’d yet figured out whether there was really any difference between cellulite and plain […]

Finally, an ergonomic keyboard for pirates

Weird Pentagon weapons research projects…

US military pondered love not war
The plan for a so-called “love bomb” envisaged an aphrodisiac chemical that would provoke widespread homosexual behaviour among troops, causing what the military called a “distasteful but completely non-lethal” blow to morale.
Scientists also reportedly considered a “sting me/attack me” chemical weapon to attract swarms of enraged wasps or angry rats […]

The fraternity that inspired the movie “National Lampoon’s Animal House” got some visitors who weren’t wearing togas.

The age old question is finally answered

Who would win in a fight, the Enterprise or a Star Destroyer?

Well it’s an age old question if you’re a geek anyway. The editing could be a little smoother, but you have to appreciate the effort.

Judge orders lawers to settle dispute via Rock, Paper, Scissors

CNN:
Faced with the inability of two bickering attorneys to resolve even the most innocuous scheduling questions without his intervention, a Florida federal judge yesterday ordered the two to meet on the steps of the federal courthouse and resolve their latest quarrel by playing “one (1) game of ‘rock, paper, scissors.’ “

This Judge is now a […]

Beer loses to iPod

Beer losing college market share to… iPods?

Well, the unthinkable has happened. According to a recent survey by the Student Monitor that has been conducted twice a year for the last 18 years (that makes that 36 times, for us college grads in the house), Apple’s ever-popular iPod has somehow managed to surpass beer in popularity […]
