Quidditch for Muggles

Finally a competitive, outdoor sport for geeks. Where was this when I was in college?

Somebody Call Homeland Security!

You might have heard the unsettling news today about Northwest Airlines Flight NWA188. The plane lost contact with ground controllers for over an hour and strayed way past its destination airport (Minneapolis) before turning around and heading back.

But apparently that was not the most frightening part of the incident. Observe this map:

Apparently Flight NWA188 STRAYED INTO SOVEREIGN USA TERRITORY during its wayward journey!! Was Homeland Security alerted? Were jets scrambled? Was our nation's cheese supply in jeopardy at any point?

Somehow I feel a little less safe tonight.

Haunted Travel Poster

Don't turn around Travel Poster Lady! Don't turn around!!

There's a g-g-g-ghost--oh, it's too HORRIBLE to say!

Thank God you are a cardboard cutout and so can't be as terrified as we are!

Artsy Cake Makes an Impression(ism)

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,

How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

Mad Cow? It's a Riot!

Today's picture is from and in honor of the brand new blog from the folks at Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me, the best thing to happen to radio since the doctor said to Mrs. Marconi, "Si tratta di un ragazzo!" 

The actual story here is a protest by European dairy farmers over falling milk prices. One shudders to think what might have happened to those police if they had not had riot shields! As the caption at the Wait Wait blog points out, what if one of them had been lactose intolerant?

Because Even Vampires Need a Buzz Now and Then

Every bar in the world should stock this.

Why? OK, Mr. Bar Owner, how many of your patrons last night were vampires?

Are you sure? Are you really sure? 

 We're just talking basic proactive safety measures here. Patrons who get bitten on the neck and subsequently become undead don't have a tendency of becoming repeat customers.

So the next time some wispy, emo-haired, doe-eyed young dude with incisors that Billy Mays would have sold on late night TV as "better than Ginsu knives!" shows up at your bar, you serve him up one of these.

And if you never get a vampire customer....you could always serve it to your white supremacist clientele.

If the Simpson's Springfield Police Department Were Real

This just might be Chief Wiggum's idea of heaven.

Location, location, location they say in real estate. The Massachusetts State Police obviously have a top-notch real estate agent.

World War II Explained in One Picture

OK, so this isn't a phone cam photo. What if I told you I posted this from my phone after I took a photograph of the poster with my phone? Up to you if you want to believe a man who lives inside a cell phone costume.

I posted this because sheer comic genius trumps cell phone cam purity every time. It's true. It's in the list of humor hierarchy on Wikepedia.

Diaper Food: It's Not Just for Desert Anymore

Yesterday we broke the alarming (to us) news that people were creating cakes out of diapers. We were quickly informed by our female-type friends on Facebook that not only were such unthinkable creations common, they are beloved by said female types. Our ignorance of this phenomenon had the odd result of making us feel more manly than we had since that time we blew up an entire Lego city in our friend's back yard invaded Poland.

Now alert PublicLens reader Cayce has informed us that when it comes to culinary innovation, diapers are the chief ingredient.

Ladies and gentlemen, we give you (click "Read more"):

Hell: Fire and Brimstone? No. It Will Be This in Your Face for All Eternity

Horror movies? Sort of creepy.

Being stalked by a Walmart greeter? Creepier.

But creepy never got truly creepy until this.

Homeland Security

Well, it just makes sense, doesn't it? If a scarecrow can keep pesky birds out of a farm field, surely a mannequin with a machine gun can ward off pesky terrorists. Although, I think the red mask might do that all by itself.

The Whopper Will Need a New Name

There would be a caption here, but I've already left to see if my local Burger King has these on the menu yet.

Amish Roller Derby

Go ahead. Laugh at the silly, Luddite Amish and their technology-despising ways. She's ahead of you!

Life may be sad enough in Lancaster County, PA, but when the Amish are cooler than you are...well, it just got a little sadder.

(Thanks to my friend Brian Allain, who took the picture. It appeared on his blog Ramblings and Such in the post "More Living with the Amish." Bryan lives in Amish Paradise but not this one: )

Flight School

Crap! Failed parallel parking AGAIN! Gotta get my jumbo jet license before the prom so I can pick up Krystal in style...

Rainbow Warrior

First post...and already I'm paying homage to peopleofwalmart.com. This perhaps displays why the words "rainbow" and "pride" don't really belong together.
