Happy Birthday Elvis

January 8, 2012

Attention numerology fans, Elvis would have been 77 today. In a weird coincidence, he died in 1977. Even weirder, during the 59 scheduled concert dates (9-5=2, 9-2 =7) in 1977, he wore the Mexican Sundial costume all but 17 times.

Abe Lincoln Was a Zombie Killing Traitor

November 27, 2011

In the spirit of the campaign season, and taking a page from the high art form Romney/Perry/Gingrich et al have made of quoting Obama (any words uttered by the other can be reassembled into a quote as long as they are used in the same order, mostly), I now have proof that President “complete failure [...]

Some Headlines Are Too Good to be True

November 22, 2011

As seen on CNN . . . “Bachman and Perry clash on Foreign Policy.” You really just have to sit and marvel at the thought of these two giants going at it on countries they couldn’t find on a map using Google and talking about people they couldn’t pick out of police lineup on a [...]

It Just Doesn’t Stop
