Axe Cop! →
Comic strip written by a five-year-old and illustrated by his 29-year-old brother. Is every bit as awesome as that makes it sound. The interface is annoying as hell, though, so you might want to click the Download link at the top to get a static image of each episode.
Unrelated: Halloween crab eats jelly.

Bizarrely compelling, does what it says on the tin. Some of these (Alvin and the Chipmunks?) may or may not constitute crimes against humanity. You done bin warned.

Only twelve shopping days left before Christmas!
I am going to try really really hard not to do all of my shopping on the 24th like I did last year and the year before (and um the rest of the past five years, or maybe more, who can say?) To this end, I am searching for gift ideas, which is exactly like fucking around pointlessly on the internet except I get to feel proactive about it. Today’s find:

Elsewhere, the builder who had been subcontracted to remodel the stables of the stately home in which Lisa’s wedding was taking place was preparing to tuck into a well-earned packed lunch. Being on the other side of the estate from the wedding party, he was unaware that the ham he had in his sandwiches was roughly the same colour as the centre of the chicken breasts currently being served to the...

I can’t imagine you haven’t seen these by now, but I can’t take that chance, goddammit. I was sort of hungry the first time I clicked on them, and the resulting mixed emotions were confusing as fuck.
Awww.

National Sleepy Head Day (Finnish: unikeonpäivä) is celebrated in Finland on July 27 every year. Traditionally on this day, the last person in the house (also dubbed as the ‘laziest’) to wake up is woken up using water, either by being thrown into a lake or the sea, or by having water thrown on them.[1] It is based on the story of the Saints of Ephesus who slept in a cave for some 200...

Everything from Japan is simultaneously adorable...
There were these strange bean things with so-cute little faces at Comic-Con, but they didn’t seem to be for sale, and we weren’t sure why they existed.
Turns out their function is to show up in people’s food and dispense trivia. Who knew?

“What is corned beef?” he asked me, and I had to admit that I didn’t know. He gestured to a big stack of it. “How do I uncorn it?” he asked, looking worried. “You need regular beef?” “No,” he replied, “I need a live cow, but I am trying to do this one step at a time.”

I almost can’t stop playing with this thing long enough to post this. Y’know how when you translate anything into Japanese and then back again it gets pretty fucked up? Well, now you don’t have to do it manually.
“Who wants to go for ice cream?” is a pretty good one. If you want to break the thing beyond recognition, try “weasels ripped my flesh.”

Jesus's entry in the Transformers wiki. →
Some suggest that Christ and Jesus are one and the same—a deity, in fact—but there is no in-fiction canon evidence for this.
I like the insinuation that whatever is true in Transformers canon is also true in theology.

Yay ComicCon yay!
If anyone wants me next week, I’ll be working the Kingdom of Loathing booth (1431!) at ComicCon in San Diego. Come say hi and get free stuff!
Yay!
Happy Monday!

What is the first color you think of when you think of Spring? Instead it has 512 megabytes of flash memory, plusUSB 2. Firstly, the inwards facing nature of China’s single ruling party, and its unresponsiveness to external pressure, mean that Beijing can speak and act independently. BTW, your “creeped out” link has an extra h in the http. Nice use...
Topless Robot's Transformers 2 FAQ →
Don’t feel the need to skip this if you haven’t seen the movie. It’s funny either way, and it’s not like this is a movie experience that is going to be ruined for you by spoilers. The only way to ruin Transformers 2 for yourself is to develop very particular cataracts that render you unable to see Megan Fox’s cleavage, or to go into the movie expecting it to be any...

As it’s explained on the Twin Galaxies forum, Inky’s position on the screen may seem random, but it’s actually based on a the relationship between Pac-Man and Blinky, the red ghost.

You know those games where you try to get all your friends to sign up using your link so you can unlock, I dunno, radishes or whatever? This one’s actually really fun.

You know, Japan, no matter how earnestly you insist you are not a bizarre place full of bizarre people, we’re not buying it.

8-Bit Tarot →
I have not at all been Internet-stalking the Legends of Zork art team, so I have no idea that logo designer Indigo Kelleigh is working on an absolutely spectacular set of 8-bit tarot cards. (Admittedly I have a thing for tarot cards, but these are so cool you guys!) She was selling the deck as six separate packs, but I think most of those are sold out. Don’t start crying yet, though,...

From TADworks. No longer for sale, but goddamn cute anyway.
Also!
After months of radio silence there is a new not-really-a-review (not that many of my “reviews” are properly reviewlike at all, but this one certainly isn’t) up at Pissy Little Sausages. The game is Recount, which you’ve probably played already ‘cause it’s a classic. If you haven’t, you should go play it right now because it is a classic and people look...

God help me, I can’t stop playing with this thing. There’s a tool that lets you put five colors together in a palette and give it a name, which is superfun, and there are numbers - I don’t know what they mean, but they keep going up. I think I need color methadone.

Encyclopedia Brittanica: The name louver was originally applied to a turret or domelike lantern set on roofs of medieval European buildings for ventilation; the arrangement of boards now called a louver was one means of closing the apertures of this turret against weather. This original use of louvers is still current as covering for the intake and exhaust system of some ventilation and...

Not to reinforce the notion that my blog is for not-nice things, but someone did a Tijuana Bible featuring Bush and McCain and damned if I ain’t linking that shit. McCain’s the lady. Bush has an enormous johnson. Nancy Pelosi’s in it with her clothes on. That’s about it.

Facts on farts. →
Can farting be considered sexy?
Everything imaginable, and many things not imaginable, can be considered sexy by humans. However, the female southern pine beetle exudes a pheromone called frontalin in her flatus that not only serves to attract males but acts as a general gathering call to both males and females of her species. Her farts are an invitation to an orgy. Unfortunately for...
