Buttery Goodness

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

For centuries the philosophical debates have raged…

Believers insist that true butter possesses incredible properties, as illustrated in this “artist’s conception…”

Since scientists have never been able to achieve these results, most have concluded that real butter has never been observed, and many openly doubt its existence. Believers, however, maintain the reason for butter’s hiddenness is that […]

All you Mormons who like cussing, you are going to hell
All you preachers who like fucking, you are going to hell

Ironwolf’s Mystery Spot: Gondry Redux

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

I just noticed that, not content to have been exposed only once, hoaxer Michel Gondry came back with another “remarkable feat”, (pun sort of intended) just asking for a good debunking. This time he claimed that he could solve a Rubik’s Cube in under a minute with only his nose! Let’s watch as he tries […]

Ironwolf’s Mystery Spot: Time Machine

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

The first video below inspired me to find some other interesting backwards-shot clips. I also showed my sons (7 and 3) how we could use iMovie to do our own fun backwards videos.

Ronald Weinland: Discussion Part 2

Monday, January 14th, 2008

As my previous posting on Ronald Weinland has garnered almost 250 comments and is now rather unwieldy, and as we still have some time to go before we know for certain whether he is as false as I strongly suspect him to be, I am closing comments on the old thread and letting the discussion […]

Bruce Springsteen: Part Man, Part Monkey

Part Man, Part Monkey by Bruce Springsteen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMjUSrYfyak

They prosecuted some poor sucker in these United States
For teaching that man descended from the apes
They coulda settled that case without a fuss or fight
If they’d seen me chasin’ you, sugar, through the jungle last night
They’da called in that jury and a one two three said
Part man, part monkey, […]
