Power Outage In 5…4…3…

Speaking of power outages, check this out. Jump to the 4 minute mark.

The WaveMaster

This is God, or at least one of His Personas,  Creator and controller of all things, including waves.  Without Him, you couldn’t see, couldn’t hear. You couldn’t speak, and above all, you couldn’t surf. Without waves, life simply could not exist and you couldn’t purchase this either.

If waves didn’t exist, neither would weather. Wind creates oceanic waves, but wind is also created by atmospheric waves caused by solar particle waves. Suss that one out.

And you can thank God for brainwaves, at least most of us can.

LOLBOAT Capsized NOT

This is clever, awesome and offensive at the same time. I bet the pilot gets a lot of visitors, as required by international maritime law.  On the other hand the guy wastes a lot of time distracting harbor patrol and the coast guard from serious rescues.

But after all, he’s got a slip, and I don’t.

The Dork Falcon

The headphones say it all. Sometimes we find such a cool idea smothered in a such a thick blanket of lame that we just have to post it.  But the question remains: What is it listening to?

Red Bonemobile

After yesterday’s abhorrent fiscal atrocity that saddled our children and grandchildren with an unwarranted debt that they are going to be paying for for the rest of their lives, I can’t think of a better post than this to take my mind off of it for a day.

Here’s the car they’ll be able to afford. It runs on crap, 5 lbs. per mile.  The majority of the U.S. Congress is already a public crap mine, so the fuel should be plentiful for decades to come.

The Feasts of St. Joseph

Earlier today (19 March 2010), Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi invoked a prayer to St. Joseph for help in passing the Health Care debacle.  Not being Catholic, I couldn’t remember who he was the patron saint of besides children’s aspirin, so I decided to check  Wikipuddlia.

Here’s the entry for St. Joseph:

Further down, under Sainthood, we find this:

Here’s the pertinent paragraph enlarged.

Now click on that image.  It’s on Wikipedia, so it’s got to be true… heh. My initial reaction was that some wag edited the Wiki for fun, BUT WAIT!  IT’S TRUE!

From The Washington Times:

Seeking to shore up support for her embattled health bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today announced it was the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker, adding “We pray to Saint Joseph to benefit the workers of America which is what our health bill would do.”

Problem is, March 19 is indeed the feast day of Saint Joseph, foster-father of Jesus. But the actual feast of St. Joseph the Worker (same man, two ways of commemorating him) comes in six weeks. Set for May 1, it was introduced by Pope Pius XII in 1955 to counteract May Day, the high holiday for communist and socialist workers.

So, Wikipedia is right, Nancy blew it twice in one swell foop, and Joe Biden’s disease is contagious.

Street of San Francisco

This would be a good neighborhood to run an automotive body shop/medical clinic combo business.

Heterochromia x 3

They don’t need no stinkin’ glasses to see Avatar in 3D.  I’d advise against taking them though, as they’d likely spend the entire movie leaping through the theater trying to take out the blue tails swinging just inches over your head.

(Okay, I haven’t seen the movie, but there’s gotta be blue tails swinging just inches over your head, right? Otherwise, what’s the point?)
