If you ever need advice of how to deal with life’s awkward situations, you’ve come to the right place. The University of Minnesota has put up a webpage featuring of searchable database of Social Hygiene Posters from the past century.

The Hero Machine is a really interesting website where you get to create a super-hero. Pretty self explanatory and lots of fun. Here’s my hero, Loverman. Loverman charms women worldwide with his guile and wit and that fancy bowler. His superpower is to failingly hit on women faster than any man alive and subsequently get turned down faster than any man alive. Go Loverman!

How do you like my leggings?

I don’t watch a lot of television. No, not because of self-righteousness but rather because I don’t have cable, digital cable, or satellite. No, my one channel comes through the air and into my crappy TV’s antenna.

I managed to catch an episode of Kenny Vs. Spenny while waiting for a TV show about children of rock stars to start. Kenny Vs. Spenny is quite possible the best show on CBC right now.

The Premise: two guys who are best friends yet constantly annoy the shit out of each other because of conflicting personalities compete weekly in a challenge. This isn’t no Survivor or American Idol bullshit. No, they do dumb stuff. The episode I watched was “Who is the sanest?”. Both Kenny and Spenny went to a series of psychologists to determine who more insane than the other. Other contests in the future include “Who will use their arms first?” and “Who makes the most convincing woman?”. Comedy fucking gold.

The website features bios of both Kenny and Spenny, competitions, clips of the show, and freebies. Check it out. The show airs weekly on CBC every Tuesday at 5:30PM. Check your local listings for exact times though.

Seeing as we won’t be traveling at the speed of light any time soon, you can enjoy how things will look as you approach light speed. The Australian National University relativistic visualization project has used supercomputers to simulate what we might see in a world where the effects of Einstein’s theory of special relativity are everyday experiences. Included for your enjoyment are images, flash presentations and a PDF describing the theory. Science indeed

Punch it, Chewie!

Robert likes ninjas. He really, really likes them. And while I could describe to you how cool he thinks they are, I can describe it as well as he can.

Ninjas can kill anyone they want!  Ninjas cut off heads ALL the time and don’t even think twice about it.  These guys are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time.  I heard that there was this ninja who was eating at a diner.  And when some dude dropped a spoon the ninja killed the whole town.  My friend Mark said that he saw a ninja totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window. And that’s what I call REAL Ultimate Power !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be sure to check out the scripts for various ninja movies he has planned. Most of them involve an uppercut to the balls followed by the ninja waling on an electric guitar.

Someone has made a movie based on one of the scripts. You must watch it.

I always did wonder what those things really were for.

Softys. I have no clue or wish to. I think i’m even more sick now.
