sheer potentiality

Arthur Du Mosch of Israel wrestled down a leopard that jumped into his bedroom during the middle of the night, and pinned it until park rangers could arrive to take it away.

the party party has a number of humorous songs made out of sound clips from George W. Bush speeches. Here’s some sample lyrics:

Activity is increasing

And Dick is on the rise

By executive order, we’re on the manhunt

Aboard the Starship Enterprise

–”Dick is a Killer”

Bush: Love your neighbor like you’d like to be loved yourself

Hillary Clinton: With great frequency and vigor!

Bush: People try to put us d-d-down

Clinton: People like you and me

Bush: I don’t think so, Bill

Just because we-we-we get around

–”My Generation” (a loose cover of the The Who classic)

I found a couple interesting stories online I thought I’d link to. They’re pretty fascinating, so I thought I’d forward them.

The first is from Women’sWallStreet.com, who go off-topic to share the terrifying story of a family boarding an airliner, only to find a group of 14 seemingly pleasant Middle Eastern men acting very suspiciously during the flight. I don’t have a problem with Middle Eastern men flying in the air. I do have a problem with Middle Eastern men with Syrian passports being allowed to get up during the flight and take their bags to the lavatory to build a bomb.

The second is a story about a man’s adventure in the communist hellhole of North Korea. The best parts are when he describes the shrines to former dictator Kim Il-Sung and current dictator Kim Jong-Il, and the visit to the DMZ between North and South.

Today, I discovered, for the first time in seventeen years, that my mother has an unsettling ability to speak in a Southern accent.

For another truly unsettling experience, contemplate Stephen Hawking as a rapper.
