Mostly Silly Quick Links

*** Chuck Norris Facts, the T-shirt! According to the CEO of the T-shirt company, "Essentially, everyone and their mother started selling items with the sayings using his likeness and name without his consent. He was cool with it at first but it got out of control. He started seeing obscene sites carrying the items, etc. and wanted to get some measure of organization. So he went to the people that were making the bootleg items and hit them with a kick so hard it killed their parents. We are happy to work with Mr. Norris to prevent future carnage." (You gotta read between the lines, people.)

*** (Non-silly link) In case you missed it, scientists discovered what they called a "Garden of Eden" in New Guinea with hundreds of new species. National Geographic has a handful of pretty amazing photos.

*** (Silly link) Of course, that story is an example of a Creator's Designer's hand/alien space tentacle in action. Just take a look at the "Intelligent Design Society of Kansas" FAQ:

How do you recognize when something is Irreducibly Complex?

Something is Irreducibly Complex when proponents of Intelligent Design can't imagine how natural selection could have produced it.

Does natural selection ever work?

Sometimes maybe, but not when we can't imagine it working.

*** Best headline of the year: Monkey Police Provide Social Stability. Yeah, sure, until they hit you with the firehose. It's a madhouse! A MADHOUSE! (via Gary Farber)

*** How do you improve a long running newspaper comic? In Garfield's case, you edit out his thought balloons. Result: surreal absurdist masterpieces. This one made me laugh so hard I cried:

The ones with Jon in them either make him either look like a lunatic or just pathetic. "(N)ow its just a sad man talking to his fat cat".

Ah, surreal absurdist masterpieces. The newspaper in a town I used to live in ran the comic strip "Phipps" for a few years. Every day the strip was just like this.

I did not mourn its passing.
