Here's a clever bit of activism that has been going on in Germany for the past year...

The word "bizarre" has been a favorite of mine since I learned a bit about the Basques. The origins of this word are usually attributed to the French but in actuality, it appears to be a Basque word. The Basques original language is one of the most bizarre in the world, having no obvious origins. From what I've read, they themselves believe they got their language directly from God.

So it may follow that I appreciate the comic Bizarro. I recently discovered that within each Bizarro cartoon there are subliminal symbols. So I went to the Bizarro website to find out more about them. The only question I have is why the stick of dynamite isn't included in this section.

As Halloween approaches, I have been thinking about things that are truly scary. While I have admiration for the Nobel Peace Prize winning Jimmy Carter, I had to find an actual picture of the famous incident of his battle with the killer swimming swamp rabbit. So here it is, picture and all. I will continue to look for other strange scary things before Halloween.

I am obsessed with volcanos and just can't stop checking out how Mount St. Helens is doing. Here's the official VolcanoCam:

Something you might not find everyday is how to give your cat an enema. I found this while doing a search on the 'net (not sure why/how) and it is definitely worth a read - I swear you'll be laughing before it's done!

Flipping through the movie channels the other night I found an excellent Strange Advice for Teens film called The Explosive Generation, 1961. Check out William Shatner as the teacher who offers to answer student's questions about sex, much to the outrage of the parents...
