- Usually landscape and nature photos leave me cold, but Adamus is freakin’ amazing.
- Using lots of “hip” 1990s design for the “kids”, McDonalds is taking the McRib on a “farewell tour”. Someone should tell them that their food is bacterial and not viral. Plus, the McRib has had more comebacks than Anna Russell. Plus, it’s gross.
- The pharmaceutical industry commissioned a sub-Crichton novel about how terrorists use important Canadian drugs to kill us all. I am not making this up. Makes me wonder in retrospect how much Crichton was paid for Airframe.
- Totally cute little Famicom Micro will make Nintendo fans and all video game aficionados happy.
- Uh, someone found a SUITCASE FULL OF HUMAN BONES WITH A HAT ON IT.
- Religious conservatives who support the Republican party should know that the guys in charge call them “wackos” and manipulate and mock them.

McRib….
The only thing:
I’ve eaten at a McDonald’s in 20 years other than the occasional scalding-hot-plastic-apple-pie-like-object is the McRib sandwich. It’s so marvelously vile, my toes are actually curling right now as I type this. And, of course, there’s the Krusty Burger analogue version which was discontinued when the creature they made it from went extinct: “think smaller,” Krusty tells Homer and the others, “and with more legs.”

There’s gota be a way:
