When I went to my post office box, I found a spammy catalogue sent by BBC Canada. Odd. I thumbed through it on the walk home, and was amazed to see insanely expensive products. For example, a box of four bars of soap was $70. Doesn't that seem excessive? Maybe it's just because I buy most of my soap at the dollar store.
One of my favourite books, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, is being made into a Broadway musical. I hate musicals. Waaah!
The Girls Next Door is a fascinating and very disturbing exposé on sex slavery. It made the front page of the New York Times. But it seems the reporting is a bit, well, suspect. Rebuttals are here and here.
Warning! NSFW! These are disturbing images. They made me laugh, despite myself, though!
Childbirth isn't just about babies coming out. It's also about pooping.
Parrot's oratory stuns scientists: I was all excited about this story about a highly-intelligent bird until I read the one thing that made me doubt its veracity: apparently, the parrot is telepathic. Riiiiiight.
The Diving Horses of Atlantic City: And here I thought it was a pretty big deal that I once rode a swimming pony. That's nothin'! And check out this amazing photograph. Wow!

Look! It's Jeff Stryker's video for Pop You In the Pooper! Awesome!
Insanely bad web design. Look on and weep.
Snakes: An Animated Film Based on a Woodcut by M. C. Escher: Gorgeous animated short....
Did Fido die? Don't worry! You can frame his pretty ashes!
Doodoocaca: Time you won't get back (thanks, Rev. Dead Corpse).
Sperm Whale Explodes in Tainan City: "Blood and guts of 17-meter long 50-ton mammal splatter sidewalks, automobiles parked nearby." Hoorah!
Freaky Franks: Dress up your hot dog with an assortment of unlikely toppings.
How to tell if you're Canadian: It's pretty much right on the money, except for the stuff about high-ranking Canadian military officials. I really couldn't tell you the name of any high-ranking officers. Not a one.
Crazy, wacky porn links (you've been warned!): here and here.
