Reality no longer has a reason to exist. Perfection has been reached.

My reaction is best summed up by my comment to chat.

By the way, if an entire dark forest full of hanged corpses wasn't bad enough, a few years ago some people noticed that a lot of the dead in Aokigahara probably had cash or jewelry on them. Thus began the proud Japanese tradition of Aokigahara Scavenging where people are running around the Death Forest, looking for dead guys to loot. <- man. Maybe living in Japan IS like an live action RPG

I find the Fiji bottled water ad at the bottom of page 2 most amusing.

Obscure short film made by Michael Jackson in 1996. Pretty standard stuff for him, but watch the credits at the end of part 4. You'll see something very surprising.

The writers of Castle are aware of Firefly.

Forget TV Tropes, Cracked is the place that always eats up my free time.

Curse you both for your highly entertaining, if utterly disturbing, links!

Cracked ate more time at work for me tonight than the DL, let alone actual work.

I'm impressed.

I've had entire days devoured by Cracked. The place is worse than cocaine.

The Snake Island thing was sufficiently disturbing enough to haunt my nightmares. Why does their venom have to rot your flesh!? ;_;

Because Necrotic poisons stop anything from ever going near you again.

Couldn't say it better myself.

Also, if we ever go to war, that's how we're winning any battle.

Kristin Palmer and Trent Wood were asleep in their home last week when a motorist allegedly drove into their bedroom around 4 a.m., mistakenly believing it was his ex-girlfriend's home.

Awkward.

Something similar happened to a dude Kevin and I knew back in Ithaca. He's working at Taco Bell, and a car pulls into his mezzanine, through a glass wall. Guy gets out and orders a taco. Needless to say, the man gets his taco. The cops show up to take care of things before he's done.

911 call went something like this:

Smilner: "Hi, there's a car in my mezzanine."

Operator: "There's a car in your mezzanine? Could you repeat that?"

Smilner: "Yes, there's a car in my mezzanine."

Operator: *muffled laughter*
