Video: 1990s Christian Group Proclaims Ninja Turtles Are Tools Of The Devil.

There was a Canadian Christian panel back in the 1990s that was totally not radical. They took a run at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, calling them mercenaries and assassins! Which only makes them cooler in my book. They’re legit threats to our children preaching…humanism! Oh God!, not humanism.

The video is pretty awesome.

Research Council: Water Shortage? Time To Start Drinking Urine.

Fresh water. It isn’t the easiest thing to come by, especially with the world’s population bulging like a genuine American’s waistband. What are we going to do, eh? According to one Brain Trust who clearly were awed by the  prescience  of Waterworld, we gotta get our pee drinking on. Way ahead of you! (…Wait, what?)

Hey, I’ll have whatever Dan Buckley is drinking. Or reading. Or meditating upon. Marvel’s president and publisher is pretty fucking tired of us goons and bozos proclaiming the end of the comics industry.

Witch Head Nebula Is Colder Than A Witch Nebula’s..Oh Forget It.

Check out the Witch Head Nebula. At first I couldn’t see it and then it was all like g’damn! Blasted me square off the tits with its similarity to some witch I had a run-in with at a bar one-time in downtown Salem. Really mess affair involving cauldrons and steaming pairs of dungarees.

Wait, so what is actually going on here?

DINOSAURS, Life On Earth, And Relativity.

This is a bit out there, but hey what the fuck can you do. I was bombing through Warren Ellis and John Cassaday’s Planetary last night when there was a segment about the explosion that wiped out the dinosaurs. As I am wont to be, I got a bit curious and began wondering: just how long enough was this shit?, what were we up to?, and perhaps more vacuously: could people have come to Earth (people being a rather homosapien-heavy filtering of the notion of intelligent life, a concept perhaps even beyond our simian brains to comprehend outside of limited parameters) and I came across a pretty awesome way of looking at Dinosaurs, Us, and How Long We’ve Been Here.

Monday Morning Commute: Peepuhlz of Erph

Hey there!

How’s it going? If you’re a citizen of the Empire like I am, then chances’re that you might have the day off of work for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. I’d like to think that I’m going to spend the day contemplating the racial disparity that’s marred the history of the United States. Perhaps I could even set aside some time to figure out a way to try to oppose the inequality that lingers to this day.

But the fact is that I’m more apt to sleep in late, eat pizza, and straight-chill.

Hey! Don’t judge me! I’m just bein’ honest! If you know something I can do to help the world, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. But if nothing else, I’ll probably figure out some nerdy way to empathize with racial tensions.

Okay, okay – thissere’s the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE! I’m going to show you the different bits of entertainment I’ll be using to assemble my own anti-stress mech. After you check out the ways I’m going to entertain myself through the workweek, your task is to hit up the comments section and show off your own wares. Yes, this is essentially show-and-tell, minus the rules and kindergarten teacher who was probably hot back in the 1970s but is now a crabby old bitch.

Let’s rock.
