http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/02/14/110214fa_fact_wright If you've ever wondered about those Scientology folks (religion? cult? con-game?), here is a well-written article about screenwriter Paul Haggis ("Million Dollar Baby", "Crash") who, after 35 years as a Scientologist, left the organization. Lengthy, but well worth your time.

This family takes a picture of themselves once a year and have done so since 1976. Pretty interesting, but creepy as well: http://zonezero.com/magazine/essays/diegotime/time.html
Nett posted up a photo recently from this place and after a bit of investigating, it is a goldmine (especially for those who think they are good at "fixing shit"). <a class="postlink" href="http://thereifixedit.failblog.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://thereifixedit.failblog.org/</a> There. I fixed it.
The Stoner Arms Dealers: How two American kids became big-time weapons traders — until the Pentagon turned on them Two hard-partying kids in Florida get wrapped up in a gunrunning operation—funded through a $300 million U.S. government contract to supply weapons to allies in Afghanistan. How did 20-somethings David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli manage to get a massive Pentagon contract in between cocaine binges and nights out in South Beach?
Apparently Canada isn't properly disposing of its old people: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Median_age.png
Holy shit. I found this site through a link someone posted on TiB (don't feel like digging it up, too lazy). There is so much funny on here. I can't decide if it's a parody, or if people are really this stupid. I'm leaning towards the former. Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on Christwire.org. Edit: Okay, after looking into it a bit more, it's definitely a joke. But still hilarious.
This seems like it could inspire a thread but I don't know what the focus would be. Woman crashes car, is found to have 54 bags of heroin in her vagina
http://www.papasangre.com/ A game for the iphone that is only audio, you're in a pitch black place and you have to listen to the world around you and react to it. I really want to try it but I don't have an iphone. I love the idea. Costs $3. "—Requires minimum iPhone 3GS / iPhone 4 / iPad / 4th generation iPod Touch ... does NOT currently support original iPhone, iPhone 3G, or 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen iPod Touches—" I may not be able to try it but if someone does and enjoys it I'd love to hear what it's like. (Not a scene by scene description but just if it had some cool stuff..)

Yet another instalment of the quadrocopter saga. This one is them playing ping pong, and I find it pretty fucking cool.
Ahahaha! USC gives us another reason to hate them. You guys will love where this guy gets his inspiration. This is exactly the kind of misinterpretation those NC State protesters were crying foul about. Also, how creepy is this clown? I feel like I need a shower after reading that guy's drivel.
Here's a story on how some of the special effects for Tron Legacy were done. Sure, the movie was crap, but the special effects were amazing. <a class="postlink" href="http://jtnimoy.net/workviewer.php?q=178" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://jtnimoy.net/workviewer.php?q=178</a>
