Dogged surfers recover four-Legged friend
Two Surfers showed great skill and bravery on Sep. 11 when they rescued a beloved pet swept into Lake Michigan from a stationary pier. Matt Smolenski and Joe Riopelle witnessed a huge wave break onto the South Pier at Grand Haven, MI, knocking Joe Badgero off of his feet and carrying his medium-sized dog back into the lake.
Smolenski paddled toward the struggling dog and braced her on his surfboard. After paddling against the strong rip current for some time, Riopelle helped his friend and the dog the rest of the way. The dog, described by the Muskegon Chronicle as an “older, mixed-breed” named Shell-B, accompanied Badgero to the pier regularly and is said to enjoy barking at the waves.

Strange Brew
Canadians have a reputation for being serious about their beer. Case in point: Budweiser has the biggest share in almost every country where beer is allowed to be sold.

The Chicago Bulls Logo Conspiracy
When I was a child, someone showed me the Chicago Bulls logo, upside down, and pointed out that it was, in fact, a robot sitting on a park bench reading the bible. My little mind was blown. 20 plus years later, I look at the logo and no longer see the bull. Just an upside down robot priest…
You, dear reader, have seen the proselyting robot menace, haven’t you?
I’ve made an art to clarify the danger we face:
The trippiest triptych
Why are they doing this? What do these robot overlords want from us?
Please, America. Rise up against the cybernetic oppressors before it’s too late!
Everything makes more sense when poorly animated.
Brother Can You Spare a Loonie
See, Mom and Dad: I am putting my business degree to use!
The Canadian dollar coin is known as the “Loonie”, owing to the image of a bird that appears on it. Last week, something “loony” happened with the Canadian Dollar: it became as valuable as its American counterpart. On Thursday, the Canadian Dollar gained virtual parity with the ol’ greenback on the currency market. The last time this happened, Pierre Trudeau and his bushy Quebecois side burns were Prime Minister, The Toronto Blue Jays became the newest expansion Franchise in Major League Baseball and the members of Sum 41 had not yet been born. (It was 1976, to be exact.) Read the rest of this entry »
Resident Evil: Putting the STINK in Extinction
Resident Evil:Extinction is not a good film.
With Sony product placements outnumbering gratuitous nipple shots,
this movie was worse than the home movie of my first big-kid poops. Read the rest of this entry »
