Driftwood | Tragic Comedy

Washed up on the shores of my PC.

In the spirit of Monty Python & The Holy Grail intro, "Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked," comes this notice.
Beautiful pictures of a fairly clever notion, holding the sun.
My new work watch to go with my new work hat.
Clever advertising uses for eggs.
Very entertaining improv musical at the food court.
Fantastic images of a complete rainbow.
Cheap parental advice: if your child has a serial killer bobblehead, counseling may be in order.
Stand-up (sort of) of the week: Lewis Black

There Really Are Superheroes

And most of them wear capes. Oddee does a nice roundup of ten real-life superheroes - people who actually dress up in costume and prowl their respective cities with a willingness to foil criminals and their crimes. While you may question their sartorial wisdom, you gotta admire their desire to make a difference. Go »

I Hate Dentists At Halloween

This list of the worst candies to give at halloween includes toothbrushes commonly given by dental professionals. My dentist when I was a kid not only gave out toothbrushes but floss and a stern lecture on the way out the door for me and my parents. Jerk. Go »
