while we're on the subject of corpses... the montauk monser!

so the montauk monster, called "monty" by gawker, is taking over the media. the suggestive monster remains have created quite the media buzz, and if real are probably worth it. the thing is creepy looking. one commenter suggested it a sea turtle sans shell. this seems the most likely.

another poster is hoping for a film based on it's life: "Now wondering if some sort of feature length film is being planned...something with a Harry and the Hendersons/Weekend at Bernie's type feel. I know, I know, let's make it John Hughesian with a Jon Cryer cameo and name it Bloaty and Pink!"

take a look for yourself and you'll see why a commenter suggests this being may bridge urban legend with reality: "I heard that if you look in the mirror and say Montauk Monster three times it appears."



the great thing about enabling comments on articles is that people can share their knowledge of related information. thank god for this. otherwise, i never would have known about the "bruja al acecho." jesus christ what a friday. first monsters are real, and now flying witches:

Update: Alphabet Made Out of Corpses

Ha, I told you that you should watch this page...you didn't? That's okay I watched for both of us. Here are a few gems from the people around the world who think too much and/or have way too much time on their hands. One must wonder, where did all this creative energy go before the internet...

"My daughter had a Sesame Street Grover alphabet book when she was little, in which Grover was bent and twisted into all the letter shapes (he's apparently very flexible). This is better, though I suppose not for little kids.

Also, "C" is for cookie, and that's good enough for me!"

And the winner so far for Phenomenal Misuse of Time Entertaining Perfect Strangers Who May or May Not Read the Comments:

"A is for Arthur, overwhelmed by the Flood,
B is for Barry who drowned in his blood,
C is for Charlie, crushed by a Brute,
And D is for Desmond, who punctured his suit.
E is for Edward, chewed up by a Drone,
And F is for Frank, who expired with a groan.
Glen fell from his Warthog and died on the spot
And Howard was knifed, bombed and finally shot.
A grenade fell on Ivan and blew him to bits,
While John lost his life after multiple hits.
K is for Kenny - some bastards killed him -
And L is for Leo, ambushed in the gym
M is for Michael, picked off by Elite,
And N is for Nelson, who lost both his feet.
Ox was a Spartan, but now he's a smear,
And Peter got vaporized some time last year.
Quentin was chopped into bits by a Grunt
And Roy lost his life on his way to the front.
S is for Sam, who ran out of ammo
And T is for Terry, allergic to camo.
Uther had both his arms ripped from their sockets,
Vic died when his Hornet was hit by two rockets
W's for William, who dropped a grenade
And X is for Xavier, stabbed on parade
Y is for Yorick, run down by a biker
Last, Z is for Zero, killed with a Spiker."

One to Watch: Alphabet Made Out of Corpses

Alphabet made out of corpses in Halo

Yes, it may seem I am being a little partial to BoingBoing.net, but, hey, these readers are silly. And you can bet that others will (or certainly should) post more of their twisted thoughts on this subject:

"This really needs to be made into a usable font!"

"This made me giggle. Maybe I should go to sleep."

Pizza cutting scissors profane in the eyes of the Pizza God?

If the title isn't enough to draw you in, check out the comments below. Who knew so many people would be offended by this smite to the pizza god? What would he/she look like? Pizza the Hut anyone?

http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/07/29/pizza-cutting-scisso.html




Wrought with sarcasm and mock despair, this collection of comments truly represents all the beauty of the internet and it's outlet for sarcasm.

From the practical:

“Forget pizza cutting. It's all about tearing the top off the pizza box after a late night delivery so that you and a friend can both have "plates". If sky mall sold specialty scissors for that, the world would implode.”

To the bordering on insane:

“This thing is so, so wrong. Besides the fact that cutting pizza with scissors makes the baby Jesus cry and probably the Flying Spaghetti Monster too, it's just not very practical.”

These comments are truly classic, even the stereotypical stupid commentators makes an appearance:

“They sell round pizzas now?”

“People still eat pizza? That's so cute.”

Then, in true form, there's that one guy that ruins it by being serious:

“Look, I don't know about the rest of you folks, but I've cut pizza with scissors quite a few times and it works really well.”

Enjoy!

artist philosopher hippie BFF's living in utopia

These girls were asking for it. After an interview with NY Magazine on their um, alternative lifestyle and friendship, "BROADSTROKER" went on to sarcastically show all he has in common with these 2 nutjobs:

"I recently spent a weekend with Bruce Hornsby up in the adirondacks. His elegant wife and her lesbian artist daughter were there. We shared art and made a communal dung pile. Afterwards we took the Hornsby family station wagon to town and played the zither in a local art house/blacksmithing shop. Bruce's friend Skip Stephenson, you know, he used to host Real People, and some Falun Gong members joined us in taking photographs of each other's toe nails. My best friend Zelda painted hers with the blood from a mosquito - AIDS infested blood. Zelda and I enjoy playing the home version of Hollywood Squares. Emmanual Lewis introduced us to it, is so much more interesting than checkers. Which I once played in Casablanca. Bruce and I intend to make a tribute album to Mel, the cook from Alice once i learn to play an instument or to sing."

and if that wasn't enough, he went on to add in a later post:

"Also if i did not mention it, I am totally against orthodontists. It's not that I am poor and could never afford one and this whole look at me I live in New York and see the world uniquely thing is just a cover for the fact that my dad was fired from his coal mining job and my mom has 32 cats, it's more that orthodontists represent capitalism and stuff and im like against that. Have you ever noticed that people with "class" and "brains" and "educations" ALL have pretty nice teeth? Those are the same people that run the world and enslave the rest of us. Well not me. Im not going to straighten my teef out EVER. False lesbianism is founded on the principles of smelly pits, low self esteem, no talent to speak of, and above all else, razor sharp snaggle teef."
