And the obligatory lolcat:

Thank you for your time,
Cordially yours,
Moley Donut

Save Nixon!

I haven’t been so into Tim and Eric lately, but this is fan-flippin-tastic.

From The Onion (man, it’s been great lately):

In a paradigm-shattering revelation that has shocked the scientific community, paleontologists from the Utah Geological Survey offered definitive proof Wednesday that, for the past 175 years, everyone has been looking at dinosaur fossils upside down. “How they moved, what their appendages were for, we were wrong about everything,” said Dr. Brian Kirch, explaining that new evidence indicates the animals slid along on what was once believed to be their backs. “Basically they scooted around by grabbing nearby vines with their mouths and pulling their bodies. Almost like a snake. What we used to think were legs were actually big flippers that flapped about in the air, driving them forward. Incredible.” Kirch told reporters that when you think about it, paleontology makes a lot more sense now.

except in a young teen CW show version:

The one scientist quoted in the article makes the best counter argument:

Still, there is a “sharp contrast” between the strength and fitness of our distant ancestors and us, said Clark Larsen, a physical anthropologist at Ohio State University. “The male or female of 12,000 to 15,000 years ago will be considerably stronger and in better shape,” he said. Unfortunately, life was short: If you made it to age 30 or so, you had done well.

or to sum up, I quote my brother “it’s sort of an Ayn Randian diet, in that it’s entirely impractical for the vast majority of the population”. And yes, most of these people are self identified libertarians.

*full disclosure, I’m vegetarian and so obviously have issues with meat only diets.

From Minnesota Public Radio

St. Paul, Minn. — Casey Kedrowski has seen wolves and bobcats on the game trail camera he and his brother Peter set up every year outside their family’s hunting shack in northern Minnesota.

But while reviewing tape ahead of deer hunting season this year, both thought the other was playing tricks when they saw a big, fuzzy creature on two legs walk across the screen. Could it be a Bigfoot?

But srsly, could a few of you folks get your act together and step it up like these people did? If a cat house could shred gnar, that house’d shred that gnar.

Too bad dogs don’t like hopping around on top of platforms. Certainly not my dog. I can’t get her to stop barking at our dehumidifier when it turns on.
