In anticipation of Will Smith’s upcoming I Am Legend (December 2007), I decided to NetFlix the earliest adaptation of the same Richard Matheson novel. The Last Man on Earth (1964) stars Vincent Price in the titular role as a man left alone in a world where everyone else seems to have died from a mysterious disease. I won’t regurgitate the plot here when you could easily read about it on Wikipedia or elsewhere on the internet, but I do have a few comments.

OK, so I’m reading an article on PopSci.com and notice that the Greenland ice cap is shedding huge amounts (150 gigatons per year) of fresh water due to global warming.  The article goes on to say that this could cause worldwide devastation…yadda yadda yadda.  I’m sure it’s at least partially true. 
But since I’m in a weird mood today and I’m […]

OK, so this is nasty. But aren’t nasty things sometimes just so funny that you can’t stop laughing about it?
OK, here’s the story. I’m at the urinal yesterday and I’m doin’ my thing. Then I look down and notice that I’m a little…unkempt. Usually when I’m at a commode in […]

Why did I like hip-hop music just a couple short years ago?  Why did I say that I liked Ludacris, or sing along with Missy E in “Get Ur Freak On”?
  I’ll tell you why.  Because it sounded good and the lyrics didn’t bother me - too bad.  I’ll admit that when it comes to […]

When I first read this, I thought, “Oh no!  The best burrito place is going to go all corporate and lose that special ’something.’”  But it turns out they’re doing it right!

In order to renew one’s license nowadays, you simply go to the DMV/DPS’s website, enter in a few bits of information, pay a fee and voila! You’ve got a new license coming in the mail within a couple of weeks. What the fuck? All you need to do in order to operate […]

I’m sure you’ve heard the news, but here’s a couple of links.

The acts described in this case are disgusting.  Dog-fighting is something that will immediately alienate you from 99% of the nation.  What kind of retard do you have to be to participate in filth like this when you’re under contract […]

Oh Snap!

You’ve got to wonder how much longer this will continue. A lot of people bemoan the cruelty to animals involved with bullfighting, but it’s the harm to people that will eventually kill this tradition.
Do all the participants sign waivers before they run? The Euros just have a different stance on personal responsibility and lawsuits […]

Well, this is where it begins.

Oh sure, 1.2 cubic meters of radioactive water isn’t dangerous to the environment.  Pay no attention to that HUGE THING on the side of the building.  It’s a plume of black smoke you say?  Granted he’s a newborn - smaller and still a bit amorphous, but that’s him.  You just wait.  And hope […]

Parking spaces in Manhattan are being sold for over $200,000. This is unbelievable. According to the article, this is by no means unusual for a city the size of New York. I often wonder about people, and stuff like this makes me wonder even more. I mean, what the hell!?! How rich do you have […]
