( Hal Jordan Files To Run Against Speaker Jim Black )
(Insert obligatory lame Green Lantern joke here involving one from the yellow column, one from the 24-hour-charge column and one from the no fear column. Or, if you're in NC, go up to him during a meet-and-greet and ask him the question about the "purple skins", the "orange skins" and the "black skins" from Green Lantern #76. You know you want to.)

God is dead.
The Nietzche Family Circus. Pairing a random quote from Nietzche with a random Family Circus panel. I love this one — the expressions are what sells it.
This year's Ig Nobel winners are...
Oct. 6th, 2006 02:30 amI love the Ig Nobels: proof positive that science does not have to be boring or humourless, and that interesting facts can arise out of seemingly trivial or odd research. Geek humour at its finest.
Edited to add: Full list of 2006 winners here
( Ig Nobel prizes hail 'digital rectal massage'. )
Other Ig Nobels mentioned in the article are why woodpeckers don't get concussions by pounding their beaks over 12,000 times a day into wood and why do people get chills from hearing nails scratching down a chalkboard.

A Randy Newman moment
Sep. 16th, 2005 08:38 pmThere is something oddly satisfying and joyous about dancing to a Tom Jones hip-gyrating style routine while lip-synching to "You Can Leave Your Hat On".
I'm just saying.
