Having gone to one of the 12 toughest schools in New York I think it’s much more important to learn how not to have a photo phone stolen than to learn about “non-realistic Greek hyena statues”.
“It’s like racial harmony in your mouth “. Huh, it’s been years since I’ve had one. I did not know that it was such a New York thing though.
My cubicle neighbor pointed out a very unsettling thing to me recently. In the end of the corridor there is …. TUM dum TUM dum TUM dum DUM … that monolith from Space Odyssey 2001. How freaky is that?
I actually measured it in Photoshop (I am not touching that thing). It’s roughly 1.733 x 3.856 (I don’t know which units Photoshop uses, but that doesn’t matter). A little bit of math – and yes, it is 4 x 9. I did not measure the width.
I think it’s time for this:
By the way, Jesse sells originals of his comics ridiculously cheap. I bought this one a while back.

Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer have penises the size of the Empire State Building and because of that do not own yachts.
Now, look, look at this picture and tell me that we are alone in this universe. This little Spacing Guild Navigator belongs to
While looking for a good picture of a Guild Navigator, I found this cool picture of Jean-Luc Picard Gurney Hullek “playing” a Chapman Stick baliset.
I am tired of reading crappy stuff. So I am going to start a community for creating the awesomest, greatest, most interesting and informative list of blogs. Objective too. Who’s with me?
A building in K-Town has this evil looking beaver above its entrance. The only explanation I can think of is that the owner of the building went to MIT and really HTFP. Having to fill out this form probably got to him or her.

The same sort of stuff is routinely happening at IHOPs in the middle of nowhere. Well, not to say that is doesn’t continue happening in Manhattan’s restaurants. Yep, right through the pants.
