There are few things that simply explain the one thing Christians can all agree upon, and at the same time try to address how difficult the rest of the world makes it by refusing it even just consider the actual message instead of getting wrapped up in the side issues. YouTube to the rescue [...]

Whilst reading over my usual visit to Boing Boing (from which I abscond with some of their links from time to time), there was an interesting comment in one of the articles that struck my fancy.
There’s a familiar droning phrase from certain Creationism proponents that science should teach, not only about evolution theory, but also [...]

2 Guys 1 Guitar - 90210 Theme
2 Guys 1 Guitar - Mozart/Classical
2 Guys 1 Guitar - Jerry’s Breakdown

While we’re on the subject of things I’ve never heard of before, I’ll go ahead and tack on this video about dolphins swimming around in an aquarium blowing rings of air bubbles in the water and either sailing thru them, clipping one side and making a secondary ring and following it around, or whipping it [...]

I’d never heard of the idea, but I admit it sounds pretty darn spiffy. There’s a company in Brownsville, Texas, that takes old sea-going ships and takes them apart for the metal scrap. This picture shows a battleship being gradually torn apart, courtesy International Shipbreaking Ltd in Brownsville. Apparently there’s another shipbreaking [...]

There’s an inspiring video of some lions who attack a small herd of water buffalo, make off with one of the little ones and before they’re able to seriously maim it, the herd comes back over and one or two brave buffalos try skewering the lions and manage to rescue the baby again. Seriously, [...]

Inspired by this I decided to make a brief colly of these tables in action. I’d never seen these before — I’d only played the PC versions ^_^
This one shows the hole in the middle you push all the tiles into, and how new rows that had previously been prepared for you pop right [...]

Albert Hofmann, a research chemist I wouldn’t have probably known about had his obit not appeared on Digg recently, died at the age of 102. He is credited with the discovery of lysergic acid diethylamide (popularly known by its initials) and reportedly experienced the bizarre effects based on having spilled a bit of it [...]

After posting this Ask Metafilter question, I have learned that I am a linguistic descriptivist whereas my accuser is a linguistic prescriptivist. In a nutshell, it means that I believe language rules can be identified by ways in which they have been demonstrated to operate in the past — whereas my accuser subscribes to [...]

I may be one of the few word philosphers or perhaps a lay-scientist of word theory, considering the overt nerdiness that this entry reveals.
As an official reference on the subject, I’m making an entry about my creation of the word neologism, to squiptipadoogleboinkaflop. In this form, it is a verb describing the action [...]

Some ingenuity gave the gent who created this beauty something to write home about. I’d pay money for one of those =) It’s the entire innards of an original Nintendo deck all crammed into the space of one original Nintendo game (or perhaps the original nintendo game). Personally, I’d like one fit into [...]

You may have seen quite some time ago, there was an eBay auction of a car for sale that had doors that would disappear under the chassis in a similar way that today’s power windows disappear into the door. I’ve located a page describing that automotive hackjob in greater detail, as well as a [...]

Some time ago, there was an enterprising individual who would be visiting an obscure town in Poland to visit family. This fellow (who thinks like I do, I was considering a version of this for the Kenya trip) auctioned a service of sending frequent postcards out from this Polish town, to a person of [...]

I recently received a forward with an interesting story of military gentleman stationed away from the states who carefully tends a small plot of American soil that grows American grass. It sounds exactly like something I would do! heh
I hope the picture will go through for you - of this Army soldier in Iraq [...]

I’ve just been recommended I begin adding wiki pages to a friend’s class project that involves creating a wiki that makes every single word on every single page (in the main text area) to be an internal link to that particular word. You can make up crazy phrases like “Steak is a great food [...]

A friend of mine posted the link to this Ultimate Bacon Sandwich on a message board we both frequent, and I could-na bear to keep from sharing it. Just seeing it from the side made my veins clog.
