I am hoping I can change Penn's mind on his dislike of the song Frosty the Snowman. Who can hate this version by my favourite band The Cocteau Twins? …Continue

Human Chow

For some time I have wanted something like human chow but I want it totally synthetic - a block of artificially created edible protein that has the exact daily requirements of vitamins, minerals, etc coloured and flavoured artificially.  It is mainly just to prove a point to vegans.See More

And the kids just don't understand

As Penn has recently told us about the lyrics of Pleasant Valley Sunday that have special meaning for him, what lyrics have special meaning for you? Mine are:All the Way by New Order:It takes years to find the nerve. To be apart from what you've done. To find the truth inside yourself. And not depend on anyone. You Set the Scene by Love:This is the time and life that I am living  And I'll face each day with a smileFor the time that I've been given's such a little while  And the things that I…See More

ACT census snapshot: increased density and diversity, but less divinity

Noah's Ark

The scientist was correct in saying that the Blue Whale would need to be on the ark. Biblical creationists also claim that continental drift does not occur and that the Earths geological features are artefacts of the flood.  This would mean that the water would have contained so much sediment that the oceans would have had the consistancy of mud, therefore whales, fish etc would be unable to live in the flood waters.Even without the sediments, half the worlds fish would need to be on the ark as…See More

Sgt. Pepper's Live

There was a 1960s Australian band called The Twilghts who performed the entire Sgt Pepper's album live perfectly (less orchestral parts) before it was released in Australia.  When the Beatles record label found out they were told to stop.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_TwilightsQuote: "In concert the group continued to impress.

I'm Fat

Posted by Captain Snarky on May 24, 2013 at 10:00pm 0 Comments

OK, so I watched some more P&T episodes and found one about how the so-called, "obesity epidemic" is bullshit.  Of course, the obesity epidemic is bullshit.  Pretty much everything one sees in the media is a load of dog shit.  Nothing new there.  I can't really deny however that something's going on out there.  I mean, after all, there are tons of super-fat motherfuckers walking around and scooting around on those little electric carts everywhere one looks.    

Nonetheless, I had…

Dolphins Are Funny Things

Posted by Captain Snarky on May 24, 2013 at 9:22pm 0 Comments

I just finished watching P&T's "Bullshit" episode on dolphins.  It inspired me to share my personal experience with them, which I had back in the Amazon River Basin in 1996.

No, I didn't travel to the Amazon in 1996 to swim with the world's only freshwater pink and gray dolphins who inhabit the waters there, but to... well... to... ummmm... uh... OK!  So, I don't even know what the fuck I went to the Amazon for in the first place!  It's just that I've always loved adventures (and…
