Today I spent a bit of time trolling around trying to find some sw33t sites to pimp our sketch routine, Manchild Drink Beer. Well, needless to say I ended up straying away from my original goal, and found these sites instead. Let’s have at it, shall we?

Tool of Satan is a site that was used by crazy Christians who believed that The Force from the Star Wars saga was a tool of the devil.  No, I’m serious, click the link for proof.  The video (below) shows the group members actively debating that the force is “made up, but jesus is real”.  Look, I’m (somewhat) Catholic, but we’re both on odd grounds… one group believes that the son of God popped out of a virgin, magically made booze from water, died and became a zombie before he flew to heaven; the other one believes in the force.

The Best Page in the Universe is basically a ranting blog that has a few lulz tucked away in it.  The guy probably has too much time on his hands, but what does that say about the dude who actively sought him out, then wrote his own blog about it?  Check this entry in particular.

Last, we have Explosm, which is home to my favorite web comic, Cyanide and Happiness.  It’s always good to stop by and see what the fella’s over there are producing.  Well, that’s my 2 cents, enjoi.

I found this mildly amusing, but I have a strange feeling this conversation took place in a past life of mine.

Pictures supposedly showing Mythbusters co-host Adam Savage enjoying some rather unorthodox forms of sexual self-exploration are currently making the rounds after being hacked off an image server. No word yet if they’re part of an episode exploring the the myth behind the original Goatse.cx meme, but either way, they’re pretty badass. Check out the winnar here but WARNING: DEFINITELY NSFW. For the full rundown of the lulz, as always, look no further than our friends at Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Today marks a trivial date on the calendar for the superstitious, slightly irrational and 13 year olds convinced they’re vampires. With such a haunting day bestowed on us (and nearly all of Chico covered in smoke due to the Humbolt Rd. fires), how about some fun facts about 13?

The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia.

In numerology, the number 12 is considered completeness, whereas the number 13 is seen to be transgressing.

There is a superstition, thought by some to derive from the Last Supper, that having thirteen people seated at a table will result in the death of one of the diners.

An estimated 17 to 21 people in the US have a fear of this day.

A British Medical Journal study has shown that there is a significant increase in traffic-related accidents on Fridays the 13th.

Black Sabbath’s debut album was released in the UK on Friday, February 13, 1970.

Fidel Castro and Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen were born on Friday the 13th.

Hi Anonymous,

I know this won’t be quite as much fun as your ongoing war with the Scientologists, but some hacker tapped into the Epilepsy Foundation’s Web site and put up a whole bunch of flashing shit, which sent people into seizures. STOP LAUGHING. Yeah, it seems kinda funny for a second, but once the giggles clear up you might realize how completely fucked up and evil that shit is. That’s on some malignant shit right there. It’s like picking on a kitten.

From Wired News:

…In a rare example of an attack apparently motivated by malice rather than money, hackers recently bombarded the Epilepsy Foundation’s Web site with hundreds of pictures and links to pages with rapidly flashing images.
The breach triggered severe migraines and near-seizure reactions in some site visitors who viewed the images. People with photosensitive epilepsy can get seizures when they’re exposed to flickering images, a response also caused by some video games and cartoons.
The attack happened when hackers exploited a security hole in the foundation’s publishing software that allowed them to quickly make numerous posts and overwhelm the site’s support forums.
Within the hackers’ posts were small flashing pictures and links - masquerading as helpful - to pages that exploded with kaleidoscopic images pulsating with different colors.
“They were out to create seizures,” said Ken Lowenberg, senior director of Web and print publishing for the foundation.

Can someone find out who did this and ruin them, please? thanx

John Mayer has always been a little bit of an enigma for me… he writes pretty damn good pop songs, rips in his blues trio, and is surprisingly insightful on his blog site. Now, Mayer takes time out of his schedule to show us how his creative process works. Enjoi.
