women of insivibility

It is amazing how some women can go their whole life as someone that is completely un-noticed. How does it happen? Why does it happen? What the hell do you do about it?
It is strange to watch when this happens out in public. Certain women will walk up to a sales clerk and patiently wait [...]

One rat or the other

One fine story about a bronze rat:
A tourist wanders into a back-alley antique shop in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Picking through the objects on display he discovers a detailed, life- sized bronze sculpture of a rat. The sculpture is so interesting and unique that he picks it up and asks the shop owner what it costs. [...]

How to write your own best selling novel…

"Who Wants to be a Superhero?" the reality show?

I thought that this was a joke at first. The folks over at Sci-Fi Channel are going to have a reality show all about potential comic book characters. At first thought, this sounds like a great idea for an aspiring comic book writer to get a start in the market. Get their super hero idea [...]

Oddly enchanting bunny

It is a cone shaped bunny in pink and orange! How much cuter can you get? Link.

Eddie Izzard

When my quote of the day popped up this morning from the Quotations Page. It reminded me of a very humorous comedian that I haven’t seen anything from in awhile (maybe I wasn’t looking - shame on me). Eddie Izzard is one absolutely hilarious person. Oh and he happens to cross dress (is that one [...]

Watch V for free

For those of you who remember the television mini-series V, you can watch it for free: Link. When V came out on tv, I, and my entire family, were glued to the boob-tube for every episode. “Here mousey, mousey, mousey!” Via Ironic Sans.
