There are pictures - so if you’re having lunch right now, you may wish to skip this one.
Playing With Dead Things: The Mummification of Beavis I:
“My pet rat, Beavis, a slighty stupid, slightly blind, unusually loveable thing that lived on my coffee table, died the morning of May 3rd, 2004. He was mummified very soon afterwards. I did it myself, with the help of my husband.”
“Ethics, schmethics. Your back is better isn’t it?” said Dr Frankenstein when challenged by his patient.
Texas man sues over stolen bone implanted in his neck:
“A man who found out the bone implanted in his neck to relieve back pain was stolen from a corpse is suing a medical technology company and several tissue processing businesses.”
I’m still holding out for a possible zombie rising though. It could happen.
Mysteries remain over Peru meteorite impact
“Conspiracy theorists will be disappointed. The object that exploded and formed a crater that emitted mysterious gases in Peru on 15 September was a meteorite that hit soil where the subsurface water table was high, according to the first official report from geologists who have returned from the scene.”
Indeed, very Bosch-like.
Boris Artzybasheff: Monstrous Anthropomorphised Machines:
“Striking” is putting it mildly. If I had to describe his work I think I would describe it as being that of a twentieth century Hieronymus Bocsh. There are three separate galleries, and almost every image is a winner, so make sure to look through them all.”
Picture above is “Radio Propaganda” (1941, I think). More Artzybasheff links here.
I know it’s low-grade stuff, but I just couldn’t resist this picture, sent to me by a friend after he read this news…

Some people’s deaths are just so entertaining. (Yeah, I know, I’m sorry)
If You’re Going to Die, Do It Differently!
“We all shrug off our mortal coil eventually. Whilst we all look forward to a long and happy life, there are some unfortunate souls who leave this world with a touch of humor. If you’re gonna go, go out in style!”
Well, I guess we all have our favourite strange Japanese chewing gum don’t we?
The Top Ten Strange and Unusual Japanese Chewing Gums
“Japanese chewing gum differs from American chewing gum in many ways, and that probably is a result of the practical way Japan looks at chewing gum.”
Deep Impact… the Second Visit:
“When Deep Impact smashed into Comet Tempel 1, it did its job well… too well. Yes, it did carve out a crater on the surface of the comet, releasing a plume of debris visible from here on Earth. But there was a problem…”
“The original terminology and the system used to qualify and classify these encounters was first proposed and introduced by UFO researcher and astronomer, “J. Allen Hynek.” It was in contained in his book, “The UFO Experience : A Scientific Study,” which was originally released way back in 1972.”
Check out this tripod robot that actually looks strangely, erm, organic.
Cognitive Daily: Tripod robots that don’t prey on humans:
“The robots in H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds may have been terrifying, but they also had a feature notably lacking in a lot of today’s robots: the inherent stability of a tripod.”
