Whoa!

Watch this first (there's a big surprise in it), then read below:


Two things to note:

1. Just before the boulder plops down on the road, approximately where the car would have been, the preceding landslide pushes the car out of the way.  That's what I call lucky!
2. A few seconds into this video (around 0:03), you can see this boulder begin its fall.  It starts out on the skyline, up high near the center of the video.

This Probably Means I'm a Bad Person...

...but I thought this was very funny :)

Rape?

I trust that the vast majority of my readers will instantly recognize the iconic photo at right.  I'm certain that the first thought that photo brings to mind isn't “Rape!”.  Which just goes to show you that most of my readers aren't progressive feminists.

Over at Riehl World, they have a decidedly less progressive and more traditional perspective.  The comments are fun to read, but one of them jumped out at me, from Mike C.:

Wow… just, wow.

Let me frame what I’m about to say: I scored a 1520 out of 1600 on my SATs. My family and friends consider me a pretty smart guy with an extensive vocabulary. I run my own business in a field which requires top-notch writing skills, data management skills, critical-thinking skills, and a lot of creativity.

However, in this situation, profanity is the only appropriate response.

F@&k you, you f@&king f@&ked-up “feminist” f@&ks.

Perfect.

OMG: Chinese Dogs...

I don't know what to say to this – the animals aren't actually being hurt, but still...this just seems wrong on some profound level.  Debbie likes to put funny hats and reindeer antlers, etc., on our dogs – funny-looking, to be sure, but I have the same basic reaction to both that and these Chinese dogs.  Via my mom, who for some reason thought I should see this.  Of course, now that I have...it can't be unseen...

O-M-G!!!

I just discovered that the trees have responded to the EarthFirsters:

Somebody please tell me that this is some kind of a put-on. 'Cause, you know, I'd sleep a lot better if I knew for sure that people like these didn't walk the earth with me...
