Boriska, boy genius says he’s from Mars, knows of a switch behind the Sphinx’s ear.

I’m really beginning to enjoy Pravda.ru for their er. . . out of this world reporting. Meet Boriska. He said his first words at 4 months of age, and by 2 years old was reading the newspaper. He also has a fairly detailed knowledge of Martian society, their underground cities, the nuclear war that decimated [...]

What better way to celebrate the life of Gary Gygax than to show what a real D&D session looks like! That is, if you’re D&D sessions featured green screens, make up and . . . uh. . . lots of women. As mine always did. I used to invite my girlfriend, who lived in Canada, [...]

See this woman? Her name is Helen Duncan. She was convicted of witchcraft in 1944 under the Witchcraft Act of 1735 for disclosing World War II Secrets. You’re looking at the last woman convicted of Witchcraft in the UK – as are a bunch of mediums, psychics, and whatnot. Many people feel she deserves a [...]

Alien Civilization found! And it’s not from a Russian paper, so it must be true!

We all know about Abell 1835 IR1916 (not pictured above). That galaxy that just happens to be the furthest and thus oldest galaxy ever seen by Hubble. It’s just about 13.25 million light years away – far even compared to driving through Texas, and this galaxy’s been around for about 97% of the time the [...]

See this fish? It wants to kill you. You and everyone you love.

See this fish? It wants to kill you. You and everyone you love.

This is the Giant Snakehead - a fish with a nasty gleam in it's cold fishy eyes and the intent to leap at your throat. Sure, it looks mean, not like those friendly tuna or dolphins you find in cans at the grocery store but really, what's there to worry about? Well for starters, LOOK AT THE TEETH! As if a Clint Eastwood glint wasn't enough in a fish, these teeth belong to a dinosaur, not a fish. But wait, it gets better. These things can stroll out of the water and mosey around for up to four days. AND THEY EAT PEOPLE! Or at least, someone said they eat people and I read it on the internet so it must be true.

Worried about the afterlife? Worry no more – Russian scientists have contacted the other side.

In a stunning announcement made on Pravda and accepted by the international scientific community like a fart in church – some folks over in Russia have declared that they’ve made contact with the other side. Apparently voices were heard on the radio giving information about two plane crashes. From Pravda.ru – Sesnational news from the [...]

Yes, it’s juvinile. No, I don’t care because it still makes me chuckle. I stumbled on this picture whilst roaming the net for something else entirely and just couldn’t avert my eyes. Never before has a weather system looked so . . . dirty. The partially destroyed watermark claims this originated at mooningduck.com so that’s [...]

Yes, you too can look like you’re slowly working your way to being a pirate wannabe with this 6×18 optical zoom attachement for your iPhone. Because the iPhone is all things, including your new camera. As an added bonus, you can slip it into your pocket and appear like a dirty creep to any woman [...]

What do you think? Is it a fleet of aliens? Or some geese doing what geese do second best? (What geese do first best is something nasty on your lawn). Technorati Tags: ufo, video, geese, honk honk Share and Enjoy:

Life found on mars? Here’s the incontrovertible proof, with pictures of a naked, rock crouching alien

Could it be? Have we discovered life on mars in the form of something that looks like a cross between a rock and a Sand Person from Star Wars? I found a very brief article in the Daily Mail (UK) with these photos and little else. (Click the photos to enlarge). Actually, it’s one photo [...]
