Neon green puppy? I WANT. The news story is in the time honored style of “wacky local oddball news!!!OMG, stay tuned for our sponsors,” but the second part about the tuba player tripping the naughty child is well worth a minute of viewing.
WHAM. Gotcha, smartass.
Yeah, odds are the boxer puppy’s owners just dyed him green to get some attention, but that does not take away from the CUTENESS FACTOR-OMG-PUPPIES!!!!>>>>>>

Benjamin Franklin invented the glass armonica in 1761 after being profoundly moved by the sounds of the glass harp. Little did he know that his instrument WAS THE DEVIL:
German musicologist Friedrich Rochlitz stated “the armonica excessively stimulates the nerves, plunges the player into a nagging depression and hence into a dark and melancholy mood that is apt method for slow self-annihilation. If you are suffering from any nervous disorder, you should not play it; if you are not yet ill you should not play it; if you are feeling melancholy you should not play it.”
The glass armonica’s sound is perceived by human ears differently than other instruments because its range is between 1,000 and 4,000 hertz. When sounds are below 4,000 hertz, the human brain compares “phase differences” between the left and right ears to triangulate the origin of the sound rather than comparing volumes. This causes hearing disorientation and a “not quite sure” feeling about where the sound is coming from.
See for yourself, BUT BE WARNED! YOU COULD GO INSANE!!!

Jill Price is 42 and can remember every tiny detail of her life since she was 14. Give her a random date and she’ll tell you not only what day of the week it was, but everything she did since she woke up. Some call it a gift, she calls it a curse.
“I also recall every bad decision, insult and excruciating embarrassment. Over the years it has eaten me up. It has kind of paralysed me.”
Doctors had to come up with a name for this rare medical miracle: hyperthymestic syndrome from the Greek thymesis, for remembering, and hyper, meaning well above normal. She blames her vivid memories for the years of depression she’s suffered. She has trouble sleeping, and on top of it all she can’t resist collecting TV Guides and play programs. WEIRD! Read the rest.

Here’s one for all those ab-punkers who think we’re just foolin around with our announcement earlier today that seminal afro-punkers At The Drive-In will have a song featured on Guitar Hero IV:
I can already feel my hair getting frizzy.

The Dana Carvey Show had a very brief run in the early nineties. And by brief, we’re talking weeks. But the show was actually pretty funny at times, and featured Steve Carell in a right-hand man type of roll. Here’s one particular sketch featuring the pair in a “drive-off” video sketch. It’s worth the minute and a half.

Two men and a juvenile are accused of digging up a corpse, decapitating the body and using the head to smoke marijuana, according to court documents. Matthew Gonzalez and Kevin Jones have been charged with the misdemeanor offense of abuse of a corpse, said Scott Durfee, a spokesman for the Harris County District Attorneys Office.
According to documents filed in the case, Gonzalez, Jones and an unnamed juvenile on March 15 went to an Humble cemetery, dug up a man’s grave, left with the head and turned it into a “bong.”
And I thought my friends and I were badasses when we made a bong out of the Honeybear. At least the dude was already dead. If this catches on, it’ll bring an entirely new meaning to the words Head Shop OMG GET IT!???////!!111
