You know this guy. So we have a prophecy from Psy’s Gangnam Style video that the next Pope will endorse Obamacare (MARK OF THE BEAST!) and unveil the anti-christ. Yeaaaah. I’m more worried about the hidden prophecy in his videos that we will all grow old and weird and cranky. Especially since there are signs …

Sasquatch is ill-served
Melba Ketchum issued a press release announcing that she had sequenced Sasquatch DNA. That was back in November. It stalled out at that point. It turns out the paper couldn’t get past peer review, and no one was going to publish it. We’re all heartbroken, I know. But now she has overcome all the obstacles, …

Cheesecake and the objectification of men!
Oh, horrors. One of those wicked people at Mad Art Lab has made himself a costume: a gender-bent version of Slave Leia. It makes my planned Rancor costume look pathetic. (In my case, it just involved stripping.)

Why do people think of me when they see things like this?
Maybe it’s the eyes. OK, it’s true, I probably would like to have a throbbing pink brain-cephalopod clinging to my head.

And my favorite… There’s the root of the whole problem! Men deserve your complete and total attention at all times! While we’re on the subject …

I’m so confused…I had no idea James Joyce was so gory
My digital TV guide tells me “The Dead” is on right now. I love that story! It’s really the best of James Joyce. Wait… on the SyFy channel? I’m a few minutes in, and seriously, I don’t remember machine guns and swarms of zombies in that story. Although it has been a few years since …

The important things in life
Luis Martinez stopped at the Subway sandwich shop and ordered this thing they call a Philly Cheesesteak…and he ordered it with ketchup. The Subway worker, Lawrence Ordone, objected. "That’s when I flew off the handle," said Ordone. "He shoved a chair to the side, like knocked it down to come at me, and I said, …

Briefing from the radioactive badlands of the American Southwest, 1954
[We are fortunate to have this transcript, taken by a company stenographer, from one of the early efforts of the resistance to instruct an army company in tactics. Although we now have more sophisticated technologies to hold these invaders in check, it is instructive too see how the American military in the 1950s struggled to …

Wait, that’s not a super-villain!
Here’s an interesting scenario: how an ‘evil’ super-genius could take over the world. Basically, it involves building a new nation-state which openly and thoroughly embraces science and technology, not just electronics, but also biotechnology. It’s a little bit pat — apparently, there are no trade-offs and compromises in building a super-scientific nation, and none of …
