I forgot about Monday Love - luckily Lindsay posted this absolutely hilarious video of rats laughing that had me holding my sides. Its phenomenally great. Watch it. Seriously.
Another must check out comes from Bead - For the christian right, gay-hating is just the start …Who also has a post up about a haunted municipal house, which is entertaining as heck.
In other news, before I head to bed, a couple geology notes:
Uno - Torontorians were scared shitless by a “ball of fire” raging over head.
It’s not every day you see a meteor streaking across the sky. For some Torontonians, the sight of a green fireball on Sunday night was a surprisingly big event. Some were scared. Some were enchanted. Some braced for impact and some called the cops. However, as Constable Laurie Perks of the York Regional Police curtly puts it, space debris “is not a police matter. It’s an outer-space matter.”
The meteor, of a particularly bright type known as a bolide or fireball, prompted many locals to flights of fancy. “I wasn’t sure if I was seeing stuff,” admits Mike Mazeika, who saw the meteor from a ninth-floor apartment in North York. “It was so big and it lasted so long.” He describes the green- and orange-tinged fireball as being “bigger than a plane,” maybe “the size of a building” and adds that the sight of it literally froze him in his tracks.
“is not a police matter. It’s an outer-space matter.”
…Is that not one of the funniest things you’ve ever read? Seriously.
Dos - go check out this cool map of the San Andreas Fault. Maybe I just like maps too much - but I think it’s really cool.
Update: Jonathan Singer just posted this hilarious link - “Fox News’ Chyron: Anti-War Protestor Tells Fox He Believes He Saw UFO” on facebook. …yes, I’m friends with bloggers on facebook.
