I Catcha On To Why-A-Horse, Why-A-Chicken, Why-A-This, Why-A-That. I No Catch On To Why-A-Duck

It's time to clean out my bookmarks, so you know what that means…

• It's spring, and we need furniture for the balcony.  This couch looks interesting, if only it wasn't a) so much work and b) required me to actually be able to grow plants without them dieing.
• How about some bad comics?  First, there's Stalin vs. Hitler.  The English translation makes it clear that the comic is already bad enough, but the conspiracy theories that get thrown forth in the footnotes make me think that the translator needs to check his tinfoil hat for holes.
• Then, of course, there is the ever-classic Doom Comic.  The fact that this even got made says a lot about the popularity of the game, as well as the general state of comics in the mid 90s.
• Equally mind-boggling, we have the entire text of the ruling in United States v. Satan.  (Mind-boggling that someone actually filed it, not in the final decision.)
• Leninade dot Communist:  the revolutionary soda!  (Dmitrii informs me that the Russian text translates to:  Lenin Drank. Lenin Drinks.  Lenin Will Drink!)
• Joseph Wu Origami: mind-boggling in a completely different way.
• The Amazing Rusting Aluminum, or: why they don't let you bring mercury thermometers on an airplane.  (Be sure to watch the video.)
• On a random note, did you know that the old Real Ghostbusters cartoon took place in the Lovecraft universe?  Now you do. (PDF)  The script is interesting for the number of names drawn from other classic Weird Tales authors.
• And speaking of Cthulhu:  a while back I mentioned a Gaiman-penned mythos story.  Well, it's now online, thereby saving me lots of money, since I no longer have to buy the book to read the one story I want.
• Finally, while we're on the topic of free stories:  here're a pair of Pratchett stories that have since been put online (with the author's blessing):  Theatre of Cruelty, a City Watch tale, and Death and What Comes Next, which is, quite obviously, a Death story.

That's it.  Now to go back to wasting my evening watching Marx Brothers movies. "You can't fool me. There ain't no Sanity Clause. "
