A man spoke frantically into the phone, “My wife is pregnant and
her contractions are only two minutes apart!” “Is this her first
child?” the doctor asked. “No, you idiot!” the man shouted.
“This is her husband!”

labor intensive animation very cool.........

Eric Power is an independent filmmaker based in Austin, TX, who is best known for intricate, cut-paper animated short films. He created two such shorts as channel IDs for the Boing Boing in-flight entertainment TV channel on Virgin America Airlines, which you can watch while flying in their planes starting in about a week (channel 10!). I’m a big fan of Eric’s work, and am always amazed at how obsessively, intricately genius his craft is.

The homo forces of darkness are out to git redneck ‘preacher’ Damon Thompson

Idiot redneck “preacher” Damon Thompson is ignorant, bigoted and proud of it. He makes his living spewing mono-syllabic hatred towards a group of people (gays) who he personally, has probably never had any direct experience with (unless, of course, what they say about the most vocal homophobes is true. I hadn’t considered that).

Thompson’s “flock” are the people for whom the Tea Party movement—or the Ku Klux Klan—is a step beyond them intellectually. As one YouTube commenter quipped “This is Christianity for meth-heads!”
Well put. If advanced beings from the future ever arrive on Earth, you can bet Damon Thompson would be the first one to want to burn them at the stake. What this hillbilly ignoramous doesn’t realize is that when “the queers” are re-broadcasting his message to hundreds of thousands of people across the Internet, the people watching are just laughing at him. Pointing and laughing at the dumb hick.
To the average person watching his YouTube clips, Damon Thompson just appears to be a brainless hillbilly moron. No more, no less. He’s as compelling as a drunk racist and possessing half the charisma. There is nothing, not one thing, that is even remotely interesting about him. His “message” is trite and inconsequential. People are just laughing at him. Eventually we’ll never hear his name again and no one will even remember him. He doesn’t even distinguish himself as a decent enough gay-basher to achieve any real prominence in the field. Not with the likes of Bryan Fischer around. Thompson is an inarticulate dud by comparison.
(A note to Damon: You look like a smelly hobo, dude. I could have sworn I saw flies buzzing around your head in the video clip. Have you ever considered going on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy? I think they could really help you. I know they could. Your personal grooming and hygiene is deplorable, m’fren

A National Embarrassment.......

Two shuttles destroyed in 114 mission. One in fifty seven. Sixty thousands dollars a kilo payload. 1.3 billion a launch.

The total cost of the Voyager mission from May 1972 through the Neptune encounter (including launch vehicles, radioactive power source (RTGs), and DSN tracking support) is 865 million dollars which visited four planets. At $196 billion total shuttle cost you could have funded 226 voyager type missions. It was a thinly disguised coporate giveaway. Thank God it's over....

Murdoch’s News Corp Generated $10.4 Billion Profits And Received $4.8 Billion In “Taxes” From The IRS

By Tyler Durden
Zero Hedge
Call it the gift that  keeps on giving (if one is a corporation that is): the US Tax system, so  effective at extracting income tax from America’s working class, is just as  “effective” at redistributing said income tax at the corporate level. Case in  point: News Corp, which after generating $10.4 billion in profits over the past  4 years, and which would have been expected to pay the IRS $3.6 billion at the  statutory corporate tax rate, instead received $4.6 billion back from Uncle Sam. Bottom line: Murdoch’s corporation had a cash paid tax rate  of -46% between 2007 and 2010. The culrpit: two little somethings called  Deferred Tax Assets and Net Operating Loss Carry-forwards

STRANGE DAYS
Katherine Bigelow's grungy dystopian noir is often unfairly overlooked, partly because of a shaky last act. The beginning, however, is gangbusters. In one frenetic three-minute-long extended take, she takes us through a vicious robbery gone wrong as seen through the eyes of one of the robbers. It's the perfect introduction to a world in which voyeurism is a top commodity

Motorcyclist Dies On Ride Protesting Helmet Law In New York

ONONDAGA, N.Y. -- Police say a motorcyclist participating in a protest ride against helmet laws in upstate New York died after he flipped over the bike's handlebars and hit his head on the pavement.
The accident happened Saturday afternoon in the town of Onondaga, in central New York near Syracuse.
State troopers tell The Post-Standard of Syracuse that 55-year-old Philip A. Contos of Parish, N.Y., was driving a 1983 Harley Davidson with a group of bikers who were protesting helmet laws by not wearing helmets.
Troopers say Contos hit his brakes and the motorcycle fishtailed. The bike spun out of control, and Contos toppled over the handlebars. He was

‘Singing penis’ sets noise record for water insect

Just when you think you've seen it all...

If I could do that I wouldn't need a mate.

I wonder if I can get mine to sing with "voice" lessons?

A tiny water boatman is the loudest animal on
Earth relative to its body size, a study has revealed.

Scientists from France and Scotland recorded
the aquatic animal "singing" at up to 99.2 decibels,
the equivalent of listening to a loud orchestra play
while sitting in the front row.

The insect makes the sound by rubbing its penis
against its abdomen in a process known as "stridulation
