…according to Dr Gene Ray, Cubic and Wisest Human. His theory has something to do with cubic time, “gays”, “jews”, “blacks”, and “God”. When crazy people get access to the internet, this is what happens.

Cajuns chase chickens during Mardi Gras. But this time of year, these crazy Brits chase a hunk of rolling cheese down a steep hill. The winner gets the cheese, natch. Second place gets 20 bucks.

The first 20 seconds of this vid are priceless.

Look, we all hate tourists. But did you ever stop to think that those tourists also hate themselves? An interesting article in New York Mag:

A surprising number of people who kill themselves in the city come here from out of town, and many appear to come expressly to take their own lives…nonresidents accounted for 274, or 10.8 percent, of the 2,272 suicides in Manhattan during that time…The researchers didn’t look at comparable data from other cities, but, says the study’s lead author, Charles Gross, “One in ten people that commit suicide in Manhattan don’t live here. That’s a big chunk.”

…The glamour of New York can play a role. Just as the city’s glittering, outsize reputation attracts many people for happy reasons, it attracts others for tragic ones. People who are suicidal may want to die in a way that gets them attention they felt they never got when they were alive, says Herbert Hendin, a New York–based psychiatrist and the president of Suicide Prevention International. By this logic, New York can be the perfect stage.

You know that book of bad tattoos? A great gallery of some of them.

Latarian, that chubby, seven-year-old hood-rat that steals cars, is out of control.

More crackpot ideas from those crazy libertarians.

Massive, hyper-evolved mice are running amok on a tropical island.

I realize it’s been 30+ years since the Tube Bar tapes and 20+ Years since Moe’s Bar took up the standard, but there’s still something satisfying about a good prank call. Not to mention, now that the internet exists, we can synch up the audio to random video or perhaps some well chosen static image, as with this clip set to a Earles and Jensen cut. Thanks, Al Gore!

The month of May is devoted to the ecstatic moment. Sample some on Sunday at the Can Factory.
