It's a tarp!
... or a trap, or something. Does anyone have any idea of what this is, aside from Internet perfection?

Kentucky Man Sets Cockroach Record
What part of this sounds desirable? And how on earth is this even applicable as a "world record"? I mean can anyone just come up with a record for inserting a bunch of things into things? What about the most pencils shoved into one's urethra? Is that doable? Has it been done? What was it, six?

Warren Ellis really angry at illustrator
Apparently his illustrator didn't show up for work, and this issue of FreakAngels didn't make it out on time. Ellis writes a mammoth one-sentence obituary.
Here lies the body of Paul Duffield, who must be dead by now because he emailed the office to tell them he was almost dead from some disgusting disease and couldn’t finish off this week’s episode, and was in fact so sick that he couldn’t specify the illness, which leads me to speculate that he’s got Lyme disease in his knob from attempting to sexually assault bitey insects over the summer while yelling “yeah, let’s see how You like it, you needle-nosed skin-raping bastard, you with your crap wings and your rubbish little buzz buzz buzz, who’s laughing now you flying whore,” but of course the insect is now laughing because Paul is dead from some galloping cryptozoological cockrot and the lesson is that you should always wear protection when trying to shag a cloud of mosquitos and also probably carry a letter from your doctor saying that you have a profound case of brain mange and cannot possibly be held responsible for your actions and also that you’re a comics artist and therefore really can’t be expected to know any better.

Pirates die strangely after taking Iranian ship

The Times - Pirates die strangely after taking Iranian ship
A tense standoff has developed in waters off Somalia over an Iranian merchant ship laden with a mysterious cargo that was hijacked by pirates.Somali pirates suffered skin burns, lost hair and fell gravely ill “within days” of boarding the MV Iran Deyanat. Some of them died.
Andrew Mwangura, the director of the East African Seafarers’ Assistance Programme, told the Sunday Times: “We don’t know exactly how many, but the information that I am getting is that some of them had died. There is something very wrong about that ship.”

Visual migrane simulator
This is so very cool. I had this happen to me once while looking over someone's shoulder at their monitor. Scared the crap out of me and took 20 minutes to go away.

Adult diapers reviewed
The phrase "I felt as comfortable as one can probably feel after having urinated in one's pants" keeps coming back to haunt me.
In search of the best adult diaper. - By Justin Peters - Slate Magazine
The European advantage was most evident when the Molicare got wet. Orders of magnitude more absorbent than Depends, Attends, or Kroger, the Super Plus never leaked, not even after two rewettings. My legs were never clammy while wearing it wet; indeed, I felt as comfortable as one can probably feel after having urinated in one's pants. When my bladder finally starts down the road to unreliability, I'm going European.

Get some extra legs
I'd like to think it's a big gag, but it seems to be coming from inventorspot.com, so maybe it's just a poor design idea. The idea? Extra legs which fit over your arms. So you can run faster. On four legs.
Revolutionary Four-Legged Running Invention!
Locomotive Energy (G)maximiser - a hydraulic leg which fits over the arms and is controlled with a nano-sprint cushioned control unit, is set to rock the world of running, walking and everything in between, says Eric Svensson, CEO of Byxor & Strunt. "The LEG unit will join the thumb , the wheel and cheese as one of the most important breakthroughs in human capacity and creativity. Not only will the LEG break all speed records for human self transportation, it will also reduce our reliance on the motor vehicle, thus contributing to a reduction in carbon emissions.""With two legs one can achieve speeds of up to 15 mph or, in the case of a top athelete like Michael Johnson, 23mph, using around 200 steps per minute. With four legs we can expect to almost double that speed. Of course the technique is quite complex and not yet perfected so it will take time to get up to those levels but at least popping to the shops for milk will now be relatively rapid."

Gummi Haggis. I'm thinking "ok, whatever," except -- is that a leprechaun?

9 Most Awful McDonalds Commercials Ever Made
A charming retrospective of McDonald's ads with commentary by the equally charming people of Topless Robot.
Topless Robot - The 9 Most Awful McDonalds Commercials Ever Made
The late 80s was apparently a good time for the great taste of McDonalds. Or at least for this illogical new McDonalds character "Mac Tonight" to come out, do a little ivory-tickling, a little crooning, a little…WHAT THE FUCK, IS THAT A MOON SINGING? IS HE WEARING A LIBERACE SUIT? IS THAT CLOCK GIVING BIRTH TO FRIES AND BURGERS? YOU TOLD ME THIS WAS THE GOOD ACID
Rating the pain
The Justin O. Schmidt Pain Index is a pain scale rating the relative pain caused by different kinds of stings. Like the Scoville scale, which measures the heat index of chili peppers, the Schmidt Pain Index increases as the pain does. His descriptions are rather like trying to define the various flavours in a glass of wine, and bring horrific imagery to the index.
