If you don’t ‘get’ fist-bumping, or moronically continue associate it with terrorism, then you have simply been left behind by culture. I’ve always understood it to be an informal form of a handshake; it certainly comes in handy when my hands are dirty and I don’t want to share the wealth. (Germophobes are probably very [...]

My question is, how do you spend two years awaiting trial for anything? Of course, the pack of assholes at fark drop their two cents and, well, look like a pack of assholes. Man walks away from being hit by a train in Australia. Damn. Edgar Mitchell (HE WALKED ON THE MOTHERFUCKING MOON) says that [...]

It’s a little more than trying to scrape through the truth to get to the reality. It becomes a matter of rationality: does this action make sense? If you’re looking through the lens crafted by Karl Jung, then it might not. If you’ve crafted your own lens out of DMT and nicotine, there is a [...]

Animals don’t use language. But they might if you’re an anthropomorphizing pet-lover; I guess they closed the comments now, but they were very entertaining. Cthulhu Tracts: There is no escape. Seems like a very discordian plot to me. Everyone should print a dozen or so of these up and distribute them, honestly. Mirrors are confusing: [...]

I’m not sure what to make of tor.com, really. I have a borderline fanaticism for SciFi movies and television. I never missed an episode of Sliders, and I have seen V a couple of times, but for some reason I just cannot sit down and read the stuff. I don’t know why. I read John [...]
