Found this on Bored-bored.com. Its a photographic journey through the ultimate star wars geek wedding. Looks like Admiral Calamari is marrying a carol burnett lookalike. I’m not nearly a big enough star wars geek to identify all the the attendees.
My only question is “Where the hell is Lando Calrissian“? The party don’t start until he walks up into ceremony with his silky cloak!!
You want some “Truth”?
Check out the funky fresh moves from the holy hip hop B-boy (and B-girl) crew from “The way international“. From the synchronized urban dance moves to the improvised dance circle, this juxtaposed trio is a entertainment powerhouse. The only thing that could have made this better is towards the end of the performance, Jesus breaks out and starts doing the caterpillar across the stage which eventually transitions into our savior busting out the “helicopter spin” in a climactic finish with pyrotechnics and stage fog.
They should contact me for their next performance, I would so hook them up with great ideas…
I found this curious claymation cartoon that was created for children which ended up supposedly being banned in the U.S. Based on the Mark Twain’s Mysterious Stranger short story, the cartoon is reportedly a sketch in the “The Adventures of Mark Twain” movie released in 1985.
The same animation house that made the famous california raisins commericals in the 80s did the stop motion animation for this film. Take a look, its an oddly creepy but very well executed piece.

From the WTF files. This is an old story but its the first time I’ve seen it. A series of 7 LEGO kits were designed by Polish artist Zbigniew Libera in the late 1990s.
From the Harper’s article:
Each box contains the blocks necessary to build the figures and structures on its lid. When Libera requested the LEGOs from the company’s Warsaw representative, he planned to create sets for a prison and a hospital, but the project evolved into a concentration camp. According to a press release issued by the LEGO Group, “If the had described his ultimate project to us in advance, he naturally would not have received a single LEGO element from us!”.
I don’t believe these sets ever hit the retail shelves (although it is rumored that these sets were fetching over $7,000 in private auctions). Some of the box shots are really creepy.
According to the EFF, most color printers and copiers have been printing “yellow dots” on documents since 2004. These “dots” are encoding marks that can be used to identify the origin of a document. From their website:
Printer dot surveillance is a disturbing end run around individuals’ right to anonymous speech. Anonymity is a vital freedom — it can help political or religious speakers, labor organizers, or whistleblowers avoid retribution for their beliefs and opinions. Around the world, anonymity is an important practical protection for dissidents and religious groups against persecution by repressive governments.
Furthermore, it’s deeply troubling that printer manufacturers implemented this surveillance mechanism under the table after secret meetings between government representatives and technology manufacturers. Printer companies don’t disclose the tracking to their customers and so the existence of these yellow tracking dots remains secret.
Pretty interesting findings. Read the whole article here. What makes it even more interesting is the docucolor decoder guide posted here.
mmm mmm good!
Just when I thought cookbooks couldn’t get any weirder, in the latest line of offerings from the culinary world, there is a new tome of knowledge using semen (yes, semen) as the main ingredient. The cooking with cum cookbook!
From the company website:
Attention all semen enthusiasts!
We are very proud to announce the arrival of our new book.
Natural Harvest – A Collection of Semen-Based Recipes explores the culinary value of semen through beautiful photographs and delectable recipes.
It’s the perfect holiday gift for that special cook in your life.
For $24.95 you can unlock the explosive secrets of cooking with man gravy. Unfortunately, they do not divulge any of the recipes, My guess is that there will be nifty recipes names such as “Cream of manroom soup” and “Beef Strokeitoff”…
I have the POWER!
For those of you old enough to recall the He-Man cartoons in the 1980′s there’s an extra treat for you Masters of the Universe junkies. The Masters of the Universe Power Tour *fast guitar sound*!!!! Oh man, and I thought the Castle Greyskull playset was the Ultimate He-Man experience…
According to the Money.co.uk, wired computer keyboard entry can be decyphered and translated in realtime using radio technology. From the article:
Researchers from the Security and Cryptography Laboratory in Lausanne, Switzerland, have discovered that by using a simple radio antenna it is possible to remotely identify the key strokes entered into a wired computer keyboard from a distance of up to 20 meters away.
Martin Vuagnoux and Sylvain Pasini, doctoral students at EPFL, are the brains behind the research. They discovered that by analysing the electromagnetic waves produced by individual keystrokes it was possible to interpret exactly what was being typed in real time.
Now I’m waiting to see how long it takes for some wise guy to design a government grade “stealth” keyboard.
The Chief Executive Officer of a company in India was beaten to death by a group of dismissed employees inside the offices after a company meeting was adjourned. From NDTV.com:
L K Chaudhury, the CEO of Gradiano in Udyog Vihar of Greater Noida, was killed when the agitating workers turned violent and beat him up, Senior Superintendent of Police (Noida) R K Chaturvedi told a news agency.
As the clash erupted, Chaturvedi said, a security guard opened fire in air.
About 20 people were injured in the clashes. Chaudhury was rushed to Kailash hospital where he was declared brought dead.
No golden parachutes there. Looks like India is handing out golden gloves instead…
Sarah Palin and her church in Wasilla, Alaska scares the the living daylights out of me! Evidentaly, the church Palin is a member of is a huge proponent of the “third wave”. What is third wave? Read this excerpt from the Christian pwnage site:
Sarah Palin’s churches are actively involved in a resurgent movement that was declared heretical by the Assemblies of God in 1949. This is the same ‘Spiritual Warfare’ movement that was featured in the award winning movie, “Jesus Camp,” which showed young children being trained to do battle for the Lord. At least three of four of Palin’s churches are involved with major organizations and leaders of this movement, which is referred to as The Third Wave of the Holy Spirit or the New Apostolic Reformation. The movement is training a young “Joel’s Army” to take dominion over the United States and the world.
Recently a documentary was posted on youtube but was banned from the site. No word from the site as to why, just that the video “violated the terms of service”. Luckily, I managed to locate a copy of the video on an alternative site.

I am all for religious freedom and worshipping who you see fit but wow, just wow. This looks like the christian version of radical Islamists. I think these people should be under the watch of federal authorities as a cult or a possible terrorist organization.
