What Fairies REALLY Look Like

Joachim Knill uses the world’s largest portable polaroid camera for his amazing photos, including this one of a genuine live fairy.

And if you want to see a genuine dead fairy, click here, and be sure to check out the comments… over 1,400 of them, and counting. Join the Great Debate!

A Caveat is in order:  One Bunk Strutts and one Metro had a very heated discussion in the comments section beginning in November 2008.  We both walked away, bloody and sore, but survived the ordeal.  That’s worth the price of admission by itself.

Funky Bunky TTF

Bunk is amazed at this freebee font creator.  The message above was typed into microsuck Word using “Funky Bunky” (Bold).

If anyone wants to add “Funky Bunky” to their TrueType font collection, leave a comment and I’ll forward the file; very easy to install.  (Note that unless “Funky Bunky” is installed on other folks’ computers, they won’t see it in the same amazing style;  it’ll show up as a default font, like <yawn> Arial, instead.)

Bonus Video: The Big Hole

Some time ago, Aussie Phil requested more funny videos.  I didn’t mean to ignore him, I just didn’t find much to laugh about after the U.S.S.A. U.S. Senate legalized Grand Theft approved taxpayer extortion the largest redistribution of wealth in the history of  this great country the “Stimulus Package.”  So here you go, bro.

North Piddle (and elsewhere)

Interesting story from NYT about towns with unusual names in the UK.  (London? Who came up with that one?)  The US has it’s share of odd names, too, but we’ll reserve those for a future post.

How to get linked to Chelsea Clinton’s website

First you start a website called “Tacky Raccoons.”  Then, while under duress to make a late post, you find an amusing story about a guy in China who wants to make a robot-likeness of Hillary Clinton.  Then while trying to be clever and funny you accidentally misreport the story, claiming that the Chinese guy has made a Chelseabot.

The following day, you notice that a new website has thrown you some traffic, so you click on the link, only to find this:

So you scroll to the bottom and discover that you’re now world famous, and that you knocked Wonkette off the preferred status list on Chelsea’s Blog.

Now I’ve got nothing against Chelsea Clinton.  As far as I can tell she’s completely innocent of wrongdoing, except for having an automated blog that she doesn’t run.

By the way, there’s no photoshoppery here.  I stitched 3 unedited screenshots for the first image (amateurish, I admit… you can spot the stitches) and cropped and enlarged the 3rd for legibility.  Honest.

China Reverse-Engineers Chelsea Clinton

chinabot_tetherd-cow-ahead_090105

Beijing, China (Strutts New Services) – On Thursday, the People’s Republic of China revealed that they have perfected an audio-animatronic version of Ex-President Clinton’s daughter Chelsea.

On conditions of anonymity, Chelsea Clinton responded, “Eeew. That’s not me. That’s like my Mom, you dork. Like ‘DUH.'”

The robot giggles incoherently, serves tea, and pets the servants when directed, exactly like her mama does, but without the head butts.

The animatron correctly responds to up to ten questions with pre-programmed responses.  These responses include, “I don’t remember,” “I don’t recall,”  “Are you serious?” and “GTF out of this office.”
