Fly Me To the Moon Department

Good news for those who want to listen to their Sinatra while on their honeymoon... in space.

Geekologie can tell you all about it!

Money Monster Department

Nothing like a little exploitation of the local swamp thing to brighten everybody's day. In case you hadn't heard (David Letterman has, apparently, but I can't say I've watched his show in years so I'll just have to trust what I'm told in that case) a mysterious monster has been making the youtube rounds and its' origin place of West Palm Beach is now looking to cash in.

The Palm Beach Post has more, but in the meantime, I'll leave you with this classically grainy, completely worthless picture that any 1950s Roswell enthusiast would be proud of:

Ya-Hoo Mountain Dew Department

A man from New Mexico named Paul Patone has used that old late night standby, Mountain Dew, as fuel, but not how you might expect.

Gas 2.0 has the details.

Love and Marriage Department

Nothing says true love like getting hitched to a carnival ride.

The Telegraph has the scoop (h/t to Melissa Nathan)

Waiter There's A Fly In My Soup (Ad) Department

The funny thing? Whatever's in the bowl next to the cheddar cheese soup actually looks grosser than the fly.

Sort of Kind of Maybe Department

Just wanted to give a shout out to a website I've enjoyed immensely recently, halfbakery.com, self-described as "a communal database of original, fictitious inventions, edited by its users and spanning many topics." Check it out.

(And don't worry, we know it's Sunday, the seafood's on its way).

F***cking 'Eh Department

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, will pick it up, promise

In the meantime...

Woo(ooo)f Department

Should have covered this earlier, but it's over now, oh well.

John Strong, that "freak show" impresario, tried to buy a five legged dog, another woman, Allson Siegel of Charlotte, NC bought it instead and had the leg removed and prevented the dog from being an act.

Now, surely a nice home is preferable to a living in a sideshow (well, to most people, probably not to me but that's besides the point), but the amount of outrage being directed at Mr. Strong is a bit over the top, don't you think? I understand how people get about dogs, but I highly doubt that he would have been mistreated and there are worse places in this world than Coney Island. That all said, I am superbly creeped out by Gothamist's article detailing how Mr. Strong wished to reattach the fifth leg (hold the genital jokes, just for a second at least, please).

Anyway, Neatorama has more as does the LA Times.

Picture from the Los Angeles Times article linked above.

You Can Learn A Lot from Lydia Department

Or about Lydia (that encyclopedia!) from Lugubrious Drollery.

I've been in quite a Grouch-y mood lately I guess. (heh heh heh)

Are We Not De Supermen Department

The NY Post reports that cops beat up Superman and Batman in Times Square...

Which raises the question, when are we going to stand up and stop anti-super hero violence? Or for that matter this type of profiling!

I demand an answer, President Luthor!

Vagina Department

The Inquisitr reports that a woman has broken the record for vagina weight lifting.

My mission for the day is to find a strong vagina with which to beat that record.

Wait. That sounded bad.

...

Never mind.
