The Somewhat Ambitious

An american man, who was driving drunk and who led police on a car chase, managed to run himself over. Apparently, after a series of profoundly retarded acts (driving through barbed wire was my highlight, especially given the scarcity of barbed wire in most cities), the unnamed miscreant fell out of the car and ran [...]

Soap Lake (which is apparently a town in the USA, and not as i first thought just an awesome place to bathe) is allegedly planning on installing a fifty-foot high lava lamp. To be perfectly honest, I’d like to say something snide about how the people installing it have no sense of irony, or that [...]

Dean over at Springfield Punx (which is a gorgeous blog project) has made a wallpaper of his characters. The premise behind his project is turning pop-culture figures he admires into Simpsons characters. Scan through the wallpaper and see how many you can recognize. Marty McFly! Stephen Colbert!

If you’re a kid, thank the gods that you didn’t grow up when Stonehenge was alive and kicking. Archaeologists from the University of Bristol have found the worlds “oldest child’s toy” near Stonehenge, and whilst experts can’t agree on whether it looks more like a pig or a hedgehog, one look at the above picture [...]

I recently purchased the Dave Eggers edited anthology ‘The Best American Non-Required Reading 2008′ (a wonderful miscellany of unorthodox writings from the previous year) and found myself thoroughly entertained by their list of the best Facebook groups currently doing the rounds. While I’m sure this is already being documented somewhere online, it seems kinda refreshing [...]

Do you get the feeling that McCain’s speech writers have been watching a LOT of vintage Batman episodes?

I can’t help but feel yesterday’s debate was the moment when America finally started turning its face towards the world again. Fuck you McCain. Fuck you.
