Life Imitates Parody

As stolen from Plastic.com.

Which one of these "reviews" is real, and which is fake? "The Incredibles: Not as Incredible as Jesus" or "Swishy 'Shark Tale' Primes Kids with Pro-Homo Message"? We seem to be approaching singularity of the absurd...

Stiffs

I’m reading Stiff – The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach and just came to a particularly good bit. Writing about the cauterizing wand she notes;

"It’s not a bad smell, but simply a seared-meat sort of smell. I want to ask Dr. Posselt whether he likes it, but I can’t bring myself to, so instead I ask whether he thinks it’s bad that I like the smell, which I don’t really, or maybe just a little. He replies that it is neither bad nor good, just morbid."

Back from Eurpoe

I have to say despite being in Europe and actively trying to avoid the news I am still amazed to find out I somehow managed to miss the news that the Red Sox won the World Series. I mean seriously isn't that one of the signs of the apocalypse?
