“My wife doesn’t have sex with me and my mistress left me for another man. As such, I have the worst case of blue balls you’ve ever seen. My testicles are the size of bowling balls! Just going out in public has become a real chore and I’ve had to result in wearing mu mus it’s gotten so bad. That is, until I found the new Simon Slouch! OMG these are the greatest invention of all time for people with huge, blue balls! Your enlarged scrotum will fit nicely into extra large pouch and the nice back pocket flap really enhances the styling. Best of all, they are made of Organic cotton which is really nice because I hate it when my T-Shirt/Man Dress is made from cotton that was NON organic… Ewwwww.” w/ photos
13ft Elephant Corpse Art
11/05/09 - In The Name Of Art
“Germany’s ‘Dr Death’ Gunter von Hagens has plastinated a pachyderm for a Jumbo-sized exhibition. The corpse collector, who preserves bodies for eternity with a special gel to display around the world, turned his unique talents to Samba the elephant. She passed away last year at the age of 41 in Neukirchen Zoo in Germany. Donated to von Hagens’ Plastination Institute for preservation, she is by far the biggest challenge to his team so far. Nearly 13ft tall and weighting 3.2 tons, Samba took 65,000 hours to be turned into the latest star attraction of his circus of the doomed. ‘Thirty five people were involved in her preparation and she will be coming back to Germany on display next year,’ said von Hagens, who has been criticized by church leaders for his grisly exhibitions which they say defile the dignity of the dead.” w/ photos

“The 20th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray and DVD of Say Anything came out yesterday, and to mark the occasion, numerous men with lots of free time dressed up in trench coats and hoisted boomboxes above their heads and marched throughout New York City serenading people with the strains of Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes,” and a cover version of the same song by The Lloyd Dobler Effect.” w/ photos
Color-Changing Spider
11/05/09 - Pretty Cool
“Crab spiders can scuttle, but apparently they can’t hide. Long touted as an example of cryptic coloring, the female Misumena vatiaspider switches her body color over the course of days depending on the flower where she lurks. Contrary to the textbook scenario, though, a white spider on a white flower doesn’t catch more prey than a white spider moved to a yellow flower, researchers report online November 3 in Proceedings of the Royal Society B… The study “finally shatters the myth of crypsis by color matching in crab spiders,” comments behavioral ecologist Marie Herberstein of Macquarie University in Sydney, who was not part of the study. “I suspect that textbooks may now need to be rewritten.” w/ photos
