It is always nice to start the weekend off with poking fun at the mythology and silliness that masquerades as religion. Arguably one of NSC’s finest works to date about the christians and their funny book.
No one, and I mean NO ONE, expects a snake to the Face!
Care of the CBC:
ROCK HILL, S.C. – Police in South Carolina say an argument between two motel guests ended when one of the men was hit in the head with a snake.
Police say the victim told officers that he argued Tuesday night with 29-year-old Tony Smith over loud music coming from Smith’s room.
The dispute appeared to be over, but the man told police Smith walked up to him several hours later with a 1.2 metre python and hit him in the face with the snake’s head.
I would not know what to with that. You cannot be prepared for something as off the wall as this. Humanity amuses me.
A few of my favourites from the Christian Science Monitor Post titled Copy Editing Tea Party Protest signs.
PROBLEM: 'Competnce.' SOLUTION: If English is not your strong suit, try using smaller words and less grammatically complex sentences. For instance, this sign would have imparted the very same message if it had simply read, 'Obama is bad.'
PROBLEM: Homophone confusion, extraneous hyphen. SOLUTION: To communicate first-person plural possession, use the pronoun 'our' instead of the verb 'are.'
The crowning moment of awesome incoming!
PROBLEM: 'Infromed.' SOLUTION: Whatever the merits of Fox News may be, it is no substitute for a dictionary.
Thank you CSM for the pictures and the snark. :)
I figured I needed a video today, I just did not expect it to come via the Canadian Cynic, who is quite resplendent in dispensing snark, but as of late propagating important cultural work as well :)
From the CBC:
“Malaysian couples are being invited to hold their weddings at a district police headquarters in a bid by authorities to boost ties with the public and avoid being idle in a community where crime is rare, an official said Thursday.”
Wow, I guess there are worse things to do with your time if you are part of the police force.
“Authorities have time to focus on public relations because the only crime reported in the district of 6,000 people so far this year was a house break-in, Mohamad Fauzi said.”
These instruments of torture now on display in Toronto, as the CBC says:
They must be looking for footnotes...
“TORONTO – It’s an article of clothing that is widely used, rarely researched and frequently misplaced – and now has its own museum exhibition.
The Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto has opened an exhibition called Socks: Between You and Your Shoes. It includes about 40 rare socks, including a 13th century pair made of human hair.
There’s also a sock that illustrates one of the earliest surviving examples of knitting – a 900-year old sock excavated in Egypt.
Also on display are linen socks worn by King Charles I during the first half of the 17th century and a pair worn by Napoleon Bonaparte during his exile on St. Helena in the early 1800s.
There are also pale pink silk stockings worn by Queen Victoria.”
Human hair? I cannot even imagine wearing a pair of socks made out of human hair. Of course, if you think it cannot get worse, it does.
Wild Kitteh eats your face.
“FORT LUDLOW, Wash. – A Washington state homeowner says he left his front door open for his own cats. He wasn’t expecting a 35-pound (16-kilogram) bobcat to walk in, but that’s what happened.
The Port Ludlow resident told animal control officers he watched the wild cat jump over a couch, climb over a big screen TV and then jump up to a loft, where it made itself at home.
Washington Fish and Wildlife Officer Win Miller says the bobcat apparently felt safe upstairs.
With the help of a tranquilizer gun, animal control officers were able to secure the cat and remove it from the home last weekend.
Fish and Wildlife says the bobcat wasn’t harmed and was released back into the wild about six miles (10 kilometres) from the home. One of the homeowner’s pet cats was briefly scared away, but “Boo Boo” made it home safely Tuesday.”
I think of the crazy things I do for my cats and hope that it does not come to something like this.
