We are all doomed

A lengthy and depressing article on global warming from New Scientist. Gotta love any scientist talking about a disaster killing off billion people as a cull. Let’s hope everyone of these guys is wrong. But still, might want to buy that cheap Labrador property now. Related posts No related posts.

Astoria Theatre:RKO Keith::Sword and the Sorcerer:?

Cinema Treasures is a website dedicated to movie theatres, present and past, around the world. Yes, there are old movie theatre nerds. Here I found information on the old Astoria Theatre on 30th Avenue and Steinway, a childhood multiplex with sticky floors, sleepy ushers, and easy sneaking between screens. They also had Dragon’s Lair in [...]

Rubbed smooth by mammoths

A Prof Parkman thinks the unique smooth marks on edges of boulders on the Northern California coast were made by mammoths rubbing themselves clean of mud. Also some cool Pleistocene coastline stuff. Related posts No related posts.

Neighbor Hater

Excellent collection of nutty fireworks labels from Cabel, one of the founders of good ole Panic software. In addition to Neighbor Hater, you have to love the Saddam one, the underwhelmingly-named Big Deal, and the spooky/patriotic That’s Your Problem.

“High atop a mountain in Antigua…”

Somewhat retouched (the backgrounds are different, I think), but just as weird, all the way from 2001, it’s Defenders of the Internet. NSFW, if swearing is bad. Or stupidity. Related posts No related posts.

some MMH housekeeping

Been getting many new usersover the past couple months, but none of them ever comment. I don’t know if this is a bunch of lurkers, but since most of names and emails seemed random, I started scanning WordPress sites to see if this was some sort of known spam or hack attempt.

Crazy talking dog and remix

OK, weird enough. But then there’s this response. Via Overstated, who credits Buffingtron. I can’t find a blog called Buffingtron, but google leads to 138 West Holt, Pomona, CA, in 1903. Related posts No related posts.
