You see, it’s stories like this that encourage hording. It’s why my granny had, like, $500 worth of wheat pennies and buffalo nickels in a giant pickle jar next to her la-z-boy. It’s time to cash ‘em in, granny, there’s no such thing as a million dollar penny!

There was supposedly a proposal by some Soviet minister or some such in the early 1960s to build a huge ship that was essentially a gigantic floating nuclear dirty bomb. In the event of a nuclear attack on the USSR, it would have been designed to blast massive amounts of highly radioactive material high into the…

If you’d ever come face to face with a pissed off goose, you wouldn’t be laughing. Those fuckers are mean.

The one that’s real is always a safe bet.

Hungry yet? Here, have some “lighthouses”. In fact, you can eat the whole bag! You’re welcome.

I can’t be the only one who thought that guy was just asking to get Vic Morrow’ed.

You may be right about the inventor but not the name. A Flettner rotor is a form of propulsion for ships. It looks like this:

Whoa, I’ve never seen a prancing tick before. I’ve seen them crawl sometimes but more often they creep. I did see one get up to a vigorous mosey once. I think I’d had a lot of caffeine that day...

You should just relax and listen to some music. Perhaps some Sublyme?

The modern cattle breed that is most genetically similar to the aurochs are found in the Scottish highlands. They look like this:

Admiral Asskicker is right, though it’s not just the dirt, it’s also the ash and condensed vaporized matter from structures that are destroyed that comprises nuclear fallout. The Nevada Test Site is in the desert which was empty save for the few structures that were placed for weapon effect tests.

An airburst over the ocean would not produce dangerous amounts of fallout. Local fallout after a ground or near-ground detonation is the scary kind of fallout. That mostly comes from vaporized matter and ash that’s carried up into the atmosphere which then rains back down like radioactive snow. The only fallout from…

You’re not wrong. He apparently has already filmed a cameo without his human disguise on for the Star Wars movie coming out later this year:

Silo launched ICBMs are just one part of one branch of Russia’s formidable nuclear triad. In addition to silos, the land-based portion also consists of mobile launchers which are much harder to keep track of. I’m sure they’re very adept at hiding their TELs and moving them discretely when the need arises. That said,…

I moved to Tennessee from New Jersey several years ago and the people around here seemed to think that I was going to high tail it back home as soon as I found out what “real summer” was all about. I lost count of the number of times I had to explain that A) NJ is not Nunavut, Canada and is only slightly farther…

It’s a bizarre fact of life that some people work very, very hard at not having to get legitimate jobs.

I wouldn’t deign to waste your time with the simple fact of the existence of a Florida Walmart parking lot on a morning like any other.

I noticed that as well. Making the obvious joke about the obvious joke being obvious. Now that is funny. Kinda.

I can think of several possible explanations for that increased sweetener found in hot tubs. The most disturbing possibility is that maybe urine isn’t the only bodily fluid in which artificial sweeteners can exit the human body. I mean, we all know what goes on in those things sometimes. So is it a hot tub or a…

You sure that’s not a ferret cosplaying as an armadillo?
