I forgot to mention that when the nice lady doctor at the clinic was viewing with ultrasound a couple weeks ago, the baby let loose with a spontaneous boner. He didn’t seem overly concerned to have observers, either. For some strange reason, I felt very proud about this magnificent display.
Heh.
Ligers, geep, and Bowler bears
Check out this small gallery of strange cross breeds.
It looks like they’ve finally found a natural alternative to painting donkeys to look like zebras TJ-style.

To complement the amazing karate chop video I posted yesterday.
I’m gonna have to check out this TV show (Braniac?).
Hiropro Gear Update
This is a quick update to my post from a few years ago, entitled, Stephenson as Prophet.
A company called Dainese (apparently not Italian for “Die Chinese”) has developed a working prototype for an inflatable collar airbag system for motorcycles. You can see the video here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mo9Vlt5tGwY

Enter the Daver
So I come home from a much-needed vacation only to be confronted with one of the strangest internet sights I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen things that would make you cry): Cosmic Buddha’s resident drummer in a tinfoil hat holding a cat wearing the same, headlining an article over at Wired about – hold it – conspiracy theories!
At the end of the article, the author, Noah Shachtman credits the photo to a forum called CR4, but I couldn’t find anything there. I think it’s up to Dave to find out the story behind his clone.

UPDATE: It would seem that my google-fu is much stronger than yours. I present an earlier occurrence of this photograph, as well as the possible original source.
If Dave wants to find his long-lost brother, he should get in touch with the webmaster at Planet Wally.
Also, I’ll post the photo in question in the extended entry below for future reference.

So it’s time to make up for the rest of this month, blogging-wise. Get ready for a stream of posts that have been building up.
I still don’t have time to fix my sidebar, though. I’ll figure out where it disappeared soon.
Important Notice
It seems that Nam’s university needs us to go to Pattaya for some serious, important, pressing research on the quality of four star hotels in the area. And really, who are we to refuse such a noble assignment?
Be back in a few…

UPDATE 3/29/2008
The resort that the university paid for us to stay at actually wasn’t four star… Check out the fountain art and I’m sure you’ll agree that such wasteful third world tackiness can only be found at a full five star establishment:
This being Pattaya, the beach was sub-par for Thailand but the breakfast buffet at the resort was among the very best I’ve ever seen.
