A few weeks back I watched a History Channel documentary about 2012 – called, I think, “2012, End of Days” – which gave all the evidence for the coming catastrophe. Evidence present in the I Ching, the Mayan calendar, Nostradamus, prophecies by the historical Merlin and by “Mother Shipton” – and of course, lets not [...]
Few things get me riled up like bad reporting. And while there’s bad reporting and bad reporting, intentionally compromised news by self-conscious reporters are the worst. Let me explain what I mean by that.
If the best trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world that he doesn’t exist (as the saying goes), then [...]
For a while now I’ve considered water the best solution to weathering out the zombie apocalypse. After all, zombies can’t swim, and as long as you stick to deep waters, they’re out of reach. Its also something that struck me while reading Cormac McCarthy’s The Road.
The best solution to The Road apocalypse is the house-boat, [...]
I’ve been thinking of Blade recently. He doesn’t make sense. How can you be half a vampire? Doesn’t that make as much sense as having half-malaria? Being half-pregnant? Unless we’re talking about a remission or incubation period. Even then, you can pass on diseases even when they’re in remission – I know this from STD [...]
” Peter: As we all know, Christmas is that mystical time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living! So we all sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep.
Bob: Outrageous, How dare he say such blasphemy. I’ve got to do something.
Man #1: [...]
…is everyday for some people. I drive my wife crazy, which is why she doesn’t give me an opportunity for me to open my mouth on these things – wise choice.
The BBC’s World Philosophy Day article gave a a few ponderables that really aren’t that ponderable. Maybe because I think about them constantly as it [...]
Continuing my catch-up reading on Better Suited For Fiction, is my thoughts on the Contingency Plan for a Post-Apocalyptic World.
I’ve taken much into consideration with where we live. Second floor, and not at the bottom of a hill, in case of sudden flooding. The one entrance is a door that opens inward to a steep [...]
I took a few days break, just been kinda sick and feeling down besides. However, its been nothing that some good music (lately Amon Amarth’s With Oden on Our Side), maybe some old-time yarns, and some good reading couldn’t cure. I’ve had some good thinking to do, due to a series of posts on bettersuitedforfiction, [...]
This has totally pissed me off:
SoundExchange (the RIAA) considers any digital performance of a song as falling under their compulsory license. If any artist records a song, SoundExchange has the right to collect royalties for its performance on Internet radio.
And this is even worse:
If a label or artist wants their share of the money, they [...]
H: “and related to not having any holding cells:”
Baron Ünderbheit: What are they doing here? Put them in the holding cells while I decide how they are to die!
Manservant: We don’t… we don’t have holding cells, Your Thoughfulness.
Baron Ünderbheit: No holding…! Fine. Put them in… the pantry.
….
that made me think [...]
