Ebert’s Most Hated Movies

Meow.

“Freddy Got Fingered”

This movie doesn’t scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn’t the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn’t below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels.

Fridge pics from
all over the world. You can tell by the liquid multi-vitamins in the door of this fridge that the owner is a health nut.

In this view, taken from the Lunar Module (LM), the Command and Service Module (CSM) are seen preparing to rendezvous with the LM. Note the reflection of the lunar surface on the CSM.


A tremendous collection
of photos, videos and audio clips from Mercury Missions to the Space Shuttles. Some of the video clips, especially from Apollo, are particularly amazing.

Interesting High-speed (super slow-motion) Video Clips

The lower you scroll on the page the more interesting the clips get.

Bad Astronomy Blog

I just found out that Phil Plait who runs the most excellent Badastronomy.com has added a blog to it. Now if you don’t mind, I have about 6 months of his archived entries to go through.

Why I Hate PETA

I really can’t think of a more offensive ad campaign than this. How can any rational person try to compare the horrors of slavery, the holocaust and any other example of human suffering to animal abuse? This makes me so angry I can’t think straight so I’ll let Penn tell PETA what they should do:

The Iranian-Soldier Bear of Monte Cassino

voytek.jpg

Best story I have seen this week so far.

After the Battle of Monte Cassino, one of the fiercest and bloodiest conflicts of the Second World War, many accounts emerged of the bravery and heroism of the soldiers. But perhaps the strangest story of all was of an Iranian brown bear who served alongside the allied soldiers in the worst heat of the battle. Despite the incessant bombardment and constant gunfire, the bear carried vital supplies of ammunition and food to his fellow-soldiers fighting on the mountainside. Many observers who witnessed his remarkable actions doubted the reality of what they were seeing. But the story was no legend….

…If the unit was ordered to march out, he would march with them on two legs like a soldier. When they were being transported to some distant location, he would ride in the front seat of the jeeps (or transport wagons) to the great amazement of passers-by. More than anything, however, he loved to wrestle with the soldiers, taking on three or four of them at a time. Sometimes he was even gracious enough to allow them the courtesy of winning. Over the next few years, he shared all their fortunes, and went with them wherever they were posted throughout the Middle East. He grew to be almost six feet tall and weighed 500 pounds.

Redneck Neighbor

With pictures.

In case you’re wondering, this Web page is about my next-door neighbors. Since my neighbors have been driving me crazy and no amount of civilized reasoning and/or negotiations have worked – I have decided to dedicate a small corner of cyber-space to them.

My family and friends are constantly asking me to tell them the “latest” thing my neighbor has done so this page will save me from repeating myself. Besides, I thought it would be fun. Everything you read here is entirely true, that’s what makes it so funny. Enjoy!

(Thanks Steve)
