Your first reaction will be to ask, "Can somebody really be that stupid?" And then you will answer the question on your own.

One of main tenets of The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks (or as Widge calls it, The Bible) is to be aware and alert to your surroundings. Quoting from the book:

For whatever reason, never let your guard down. The undead could be anywhere, their sounds muffled, their signs ignored. No matter how safe the area seems, be alert, be alert, be alert!

Sage advice. Not only will it keep you from becoming zombie chow, it can also get you free shit.

I happened to be watching Shootout, an AMC interview show. It was recording at Comic-Con and they had on Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright. Now watch this clip and see if you catch it:

Why Are Dolls So Freaking Evil?

Marionettemuseum, Hohensalzburg Fortress in Salzburg, Austria

So this post over at Curious Expeditions where they mention their Flickr set that includes a trip to the Salzburg Marionettemuseum. And just looking at the "disembodied puppet hands" plus the heads of the various marionettes pictured above--they're just inherently creepy, aren't they? I started thinking about why these damn things are so creepy--what separates the Muppets from, you know, this:

Cthulhu Waits Dreaming In My Pocket

Yarn Cthulhu

Say hello to my little friend. Look at him, isn't he adorable. My friend Chris made this Cthulhu amigurumi for me. He is truly the epitome of cyclopean cuteness. Chris got the pattern from Christen Hayden otherwise know as NeedleNoodles. She has her own Etsy shop where you can get patterns as well as completed dolls. She doesn't limit herself to the Lovecraft Mythos. She has patterns for Pirate or Ninja, demons, and plenty of the undead. Yes Widge, there are zombies.

Jupiter and Saturn Filled With Liquid Metal Helium; Alien Races There Talk With Very, Very High Voices

Jupiter and Saturn

In another chapter in the vast tome known as Holy Shit, The Universe is Freaking Cool, scientists tell us now that giant gas planets have centers where metallic helium and metal hydrogen mix to form a freaky metal alloy in liquid form.

Some bits from the article:

  • The pressure at the Earth's core? 3.5 million times normal atmospheric pressure. Jupiter's core hits 70 million times normal atmospheric pressure.
  • The cores of Jupiter and Saturn are two to four times hotter than the surface of the sun, which is almost the temperature Arizona reaches in July.
  • The pressure at the cores of these big planets smash helium until it's like liquid mercury only less shiny.

But my absolute favorite is below the break...
