Commissioner Gordon :(

Monday, January 5th, 2009

The actor who played Commissioner Gordon in the two Tim Burton Batman films, as well as the two Joel Schumacher Batman “films”, has died.

The Circus gang is back indeed. :(

I’m An Atheist

Monday, January 5th, 2009

I sure didn’t know that! But thankfully we have people like Ray Comfort to come along and describe me as a “professing atheist”.  Even though I’ve professed many, many times that I am, in fact, not an atheist.  I guess Ray knows best!  I mean, he has a TV show, I don’t.  He even goes on to imply that there is no evidence that could satisfy me of God’s existence, because I am being unreasonable.  In spite of the fact that I have, on several occasions, given examples of evidence that would satisfy me of God’s existence. On Ray’s actual blog.  Oh well.

Transitional Spiders

Monday, January 5th, 2009

A few spiders have recently been described that lack certain features of modern spiders.  They have only partial tagmosis, which just gives me a joygasm; they seem to lack venom, though they do have fangs; they have spigots for producing silk, but lack spinnerets; and one even still has a primitive “tail”!

Coal Ash Update

Monday, January 5th, 2009

I was interviewed briefly for an article in the Chattanooga Times Free Press about the effects the coal ash spill might have on the sturgeon.  I think I might have been the first person on the internet to make the connection.

Predictions For 2008: How’d I Do?

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Many of you remember the predictions I made last year about 2008.  You probably thought that many of them would be either right or wrong . You were wrong! I nailed six out of six predictions!  Let’s review!

  1.  Hanging out was more extreme than ever. How can you be stupid enough to deny this, right? 2008 was the year of “one star” and “two star” jokes, schwa, etc. If that’s not extreme, ducks have fourteen inch penises.
  2. People who used Ctrl+V really were as cool as possible.  We clearly could not have gotten cooler!  To prove it, I will now press Ctrl+V and show you how cool I am:

    See what I’m talking about?

  3. Christmas sea lions actually became regular sea lions.  I know, you were skeptical.  But tell me, when did you see any Christmas sea lions?  Thought so.
  4. Skateboards became sentient.  But you don’t have to take my word for it:  It happened!
  5. Sunglasses were not the new cool. This is the one prediction I totally flubbed on.  On the other hand, when I said “sunglasses” I was talking about remakes of classic movies.
  6. It was possible that the dinosaurs would return. It so happens that they didn’t, but you can’t deny that it was so possible.

Welp, now it’s time to start working on predictions for 2009!
