Why God, Why!!!!

I like to trawl the web for weird stuff. I go to a couple of place specifically to see what weird and wonderful stuff is happening in the world today. Sometimes I even think that some of it should be shared with others. But sometimes. Just sometimes I find my inner voice crying out "Why God. WHY!!!"

So here we go with a pile of goodies of weird and soul-destroying linky goodness to keep you amused, baffled or just leave you with a sense of utter disbelief at what people are capable of with enough money...

As the end of the URL might seem to indicate, its finally happened. KFC are now the first fast food chain to have their logo visible from space. You have to ask why though. I mean really. It's some kind of torture scheme maybe? Astronauts, trapped up there in their spaceships, unable to return to earth for another 5 days and all they can think about is fried chicken. That'll teach them to be fit, healthy and eat a diet not pressure fried in saturated fats!

This is genius. I mean really. Not only does he get caught, but then tries to defend himself with a poisonous snake. What really made it for me though is another case refered to at the end of the story. Apparently honesty isn't lost to the world after all.

I can forsee a terrible future. One where I get to terrorise checkout assistants because the government told me it was OK... I particularly like Jerry the photographers comment on the Chorizo...

Now this one's gonna cause a furore. As far as the debate goes, I'm not touching this with someone else's. One thing I do wonder about though is which politicians are going to jump behind it first...

When this goes wrong I forsee lawsuits. So very very many lawsuits. I wonder if he'd let me name his fist born son Jabal...

Some cool illusions that you don't even have to go cross eyed to see. I particularly like the TMNT one, and who can resist "The Hoff" in glorious illusionary technicolor...

With this site full of animation I may never work again. Well I call it work but I run a games shop... I particularly like the fight with AIM...

Nah, I don't believe this for a minute. I bet if they ran the random sampler again things would be different. We all know what the internet is for...

You wouldn't see a ninja run for office now would you...

This made me laugh. I've got nothing against religion or the religious. Just as long as they understand that the lord and me, we have an agreement. He stays out of my life and I stay out of his. The cartoons made me laugh though. I liked the doctors second opinion in particular ;)

So true it hurts. Still it made me laugh reading bits of it.

Donald Rumsfeld to be impeached? I doubt a whole lot will come of this but it is interesting to note that Germany's legal system does allow them to prosecute people for warcrimes outside their own borders. Could his days be numbered or is America just going to sweep this one under the carpet again...

So there we go. A big pile of link based goodness for you to think about and some stuff to make you smile.

Until next time...
