Weird, bizarre, but not too funny. A boy was born pregnant with his brother.

Ever meet a Chinese person, and want to chat them up a bit in langue maternelle, give it a try.

hello - nie hao ma
thank you - xie xie

Today *ONLY* Baskin & Robbins is following suit. Hey whatever works…

6-10pm
locations

[Thanks Peter]

Check out many various conspiracies of the year 2012, including Inca, Renne :Le Chateau, Rebirth of Osiris and many more.

Check out Girlmatic for comics by women, and mostly for women.

Perhaps the first, though maybe the second time I visited Amsterdam, I took a trip out of town. When I returned, much to my surprise, it was the morning of Queens Day. Now, here we are again…

I missed this one big. I would have thought some burner would have clued me in. But nope, I totally never heard of the Coachella Music + Arts Festival until Felix told me. Seems boingboing was all over it too!

Next time…

A couple of more interesting books are being released under the Creative Commons license. You can get them here.

Check out this site, a Japanese album. There are maps,
one encouraging you to clean up after rover, and some extending strange warnings.

Google is the mother of all web knowledge. I’m doing a search for “hypersigil” (1.18.?.?) of the Invisibles and find this yummy site Technoccult.

Check out this wacky site We Love the Iraqi Information Minister. Too much for words…
[Thanks Tony]

Tuesday you can get FREE ICE CREAM at everyone’s favorite junk food place Ben and Jerry’s.

So the *REAL* question, pointed mostly at you, Gary, is how many Ben & Jerry’s can you visit, and how much Ice Cream, can you eat in EIGHT hours???

[Thanks Peter]

Can’t argue with hardcore collectors like these. Strangely the only translation of GeroGero I could find says “gross me out”. Hmmm…

Check out Jacob Holdt’s gallery. Images of white oppression, America’s poor, people and places from around the world, and western genealogical tree.

[Speckled Paint]

Wow, if you appreciate nostalgia at all, you’ll probably really love Mayo Postal History. Images of old letters, stamps, stuff like that.

Modular Origami is a little different from the run of the mill because you create different interconnecting pieces, to make one whole creation. Each individual piece is one piece of paper. Check out Georgia Davidson Studio as well as Jim Plank’s page.

Check out this site of tasteful menstrual art.

[Thanks Dan]

Check out this sleep research. It reminds me that I really need some right now. But the question at hand, given the seriousness of how lack of sleep affects reflexes, and congnitive response, why aren’t their laws on the books for DWS, driving while sleepy? I’m only half serious, but interesting research nontheless.

Here’s a great site for all those interested in multicultural and lingual perspectives. Issho is Japanese meaning “same place”, and kikaku means “project”.

Strange but true, the head of PETA Ingrid Newkirk has asked that she be barbecued when she dies.

All you nudity lovers out there will enjoy the Oriental Flesh Zodiac, and other art at the Secret Museum.

Incredible as it sounds, a mother-of-three invents a better orgasm device.

Well, new for me anyway. A couple of examples - Fall of American Journalism about the faked crowd and cheering as Saddam’s statue comes down, and not for oil, but art.

It’s unfortunate that Science left God in the dust all those years back. Maybe we wouldn’t be seeing news like this insanity if there were some more room. Mousetrap evolution a conspiracy of abortion + breast cancer connection which has now been clearly disproved all make for curious times ahead.

Crash + Bonsai = CrashBonsai.

More for lovers of language + the words of god. The Sacred Text Archive offers Buddhist to the dreaded Islam, Pagan and even Giordano Bruno. Many others.

If you live in Florida that is. This so-called Tell-all law required mother’s to take out ads in local newspapers in attempt to search for the missing father.

[Thanks Gary + Metafilter]

The safety obsessed nation, you know, no smoking anywhere. I once heard a comedian go on about smoking and the anti-drug laws. He mentioned Sammy Davis, how he died at 65. I guess he did a lot of drinking and drugs.

Do not give a man a fish,
but teach him how to fish.

I ate Chinese today.

Shuriken is a Japanese throwing star. Here’s a page about making one from paper.
