Sometimes it’s nice to know that others feel the same as me. Real men shoot hippos (or at least pretend to with cap guns), indeed.

BTW I’m listening to Al Jazeera News in English in the background here and they just announced that Japan has officially taken Humpback whales off the hunting list this season. Yay, Japan. Or something.

English Russia has the scoop on a Russian online community, members of which enjoy making staged photos such as:

“A Cheating Wife: You need to make a photo of a man, “a lover”, hanging outside the real window. The window should be not lower than a 3rd store of a multi-stored building. “A husband” should lean out from another window with a gun, aiming at “the lover”. From yet another window “the cheating wife” should look out in despair.”
“The Waiter: A man dressed like a water should crawl out of a refuse chute in some multi-stored building, right from the disposal opening. He should hold a tray with some servings and a towel in another hand”
“A Zombie: A man, rolled up in bandages should crawl on his stomach at a pedestrian crossing. He should have a knife sticking out of his back. Another guy should chase him with a working chainsaw”
“The Pickles: Make a photo of many jars of pickles. Some of them should have pickled cell-phones. Not less than five cell phones in each jar please”
“A Pyramid: You should have a three level pyramid on the photo. The first level is some random truck, the second is a passenger car and some two-wheeled thing on the top of “the pyramid” please.”

You really need to go check out the results.
I found the ubiquity of red underwear very curious.

It sounds much more sinister than all those petty homicides, domestic abuse cases, and war deaths today in this fine world. Thank you, CNN Breaking News.

My cousin Kris is blogging again. Drop by and say hi.

This is my one and only post about Facebook, if I can help it. It seems it’s all the style to deactivate one’s Facebook account on moral grounds these days, lack of control, et al… It’s all about predicting that kinda shit to begin with, bitches!
That is all.

This is the coolest collection of Bollywood movie posters I have ever seen: BOLLYWOOD

Don’t you just hate that?
By effectively limiting entry size, Twitter makes you choose your words, which is a good thing… Sometimes too good, I think, because I end up using up all my (limited) wit over there. My blog is jealous, and rightly so. Now to the heart of this post:
There were two sea kayaks and sets of life jackets on the floor of the men’s room at school this morning. I briefly resisted the brief urge to test their precipitation resistance.
