Source: AOL News Seriously, this thing is real, and I probably just peed my pants a little. Apparently, a British Aquarium found the monster below, a 4 foot sea creature they call “Barry,” that calls them “lunch.” In addition, “The creature is covered with nasty bristles that sting and can cause permanent numbness in humans.” […]
And I don’t mean “shiny” like Firefly “shiny” slang. I mean shiny as in…shiny. The Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull, the object that inspired that fourth Indiana Jones film that no one wished existed, will be available for viewing THIS Saturday, April 4th, (7 till 9:30 pm) at the Community Church, 40 E. 35th St. between Madison […]
I love fortune cookies. The simplicity of the crunchy sweetness surrendering the paper prize inside? Love it! It’s that little slip of paper that I take issue with. It’s a fortune cookie, so one would expect to be provided with a fortune. No such luck tonight. After finishing off my plate of Pei Wei goodness, […]
It’s…just…so…beautiful! I totally want one of these in my house:

I’ve never been to haunted houses as elaborate and scary as the ones we’ve seen down there. […]
Just two weeks ago I wrote about the upper end of the Oliva line of cigars. Today, let’s talk about the other end. The Flor de Oliva is regarded by many as the best value on the market. A whole lotta smoke for not a lotta coin. Flor de Oliva are priced between $2.00 and […]
I’ve tried a lot of comic readers for iPhone and have been unhappy with what I’ve seen. Largely, my dissatisfaction with those apps grows from a poorly imagined transition from print comic to PDA. Much of what I’ve seen fails to consider the differences in medium and the specifics challenges of a digital handheld device. […]
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the spectacular food prepared for us all weekend by the fine ladies of the Kitchen Kill Krewe (not their official designation, but shouldn’t it be?).
