First Contact

Greg — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 04:59:44 +0000

Would you know what to do if you were the first contact with an intelligent alien race? Most historians and scientists agree that this would be the most important moment in all of human history. So I suggest you bone up. Don’t want to screw it up.

The Science of Sleep (Paralysis)

Greg — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 05:29:22 +0000

This is really scary and you probably shouldn’t watch it if you have trouble sleeping. Like I did. Super-interesting nonetheless.

It’s ok though. If you do have trouble sleeping after watching the video, you can download the iPhone app, Sleep Cycle. Pretty much the coolest app I’ve so far used and the best 99 pennies I’ve ever spent. Sleep Cycle is an alarm clock on HGH. It stays in bed with you and actually measures how you toss and turn through the night using the iPhone’s accelerometer. These subtle measurements allow the app to determine what sleep phase you are in. “Waking up in the lightest sleep phase feels like waking without an alarm clock – it is a natural way to wake up where you feel rested and relaxed.” So even though you set the alarm for a certain time, it can wake you up at any point during a 30 minute window, according to what phase you are in. After a while, it learns your sleep patterns and displays them in nightly graphs. You can even annoy your friends by posting the graphs to Facebook!

Naturally, I was skeptical at first, but so far this thing works like gangbusters. Since I started using it, I don’t feel groggy during the day and have had more energy than I know what to do with. Don’t know if it’s magic or psychological or if it just works, but color me a believer. Now I can’t wait to go to sleep. Read more about it here and here.

In Heaven

2010 (1:52) – In Heaven, everything is fine. You’ve got your good thing and I’ve got mine. Song from Lynch’s Eraserhead. Muppet-style. Lovable menace.

Moon Disaster

I thought this was really interesting… and maybe a little disturbing. Nixon’s speech writer drafted the below letter to be read in the event that Apollo 11 ended in tragedy.

Jack-Chop!

Happy Halloween to the ghoulish. Before you go trick or treating, check out this hysterical infomercial by Adam Green and Ariescope Pictures. So brilliantly acted and edited. This video was done with a lot of conviction. Warning: Pretty damn vulgar and violent. Jack-Chop!

Freddy Krueger?

Greg — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:53:36 +0000

Is this the face of Freddy Krueger? This story is equally terrifying and intriguing. Apparently, every night, thousands of people around the world see this man in their dreams. I suppose the same thing can be said about Barack or Brad Pitt, but this guy is far more interesting. Who is he? Why are people seeing this image? Is it a hybrid impression created by cultural anxieties? Or is this man actually able to go in and out of the dream world like Freddy Krueger? thisman.org is a website that seeks to gather information and accounts of this strange phenomenon.

I know when I dressed up as Freddy for three Halloween’s in a row, I didn’t look like that. But maybe I got it wrong. Sweet dreams, dream warriors.

Scrapple

Greg — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:48:18 +0000

Last week, I ate scrapple. Scrapple is not what you think it is. Unless you already know what is it. I can tell you it has nothing to do with apples. Or spelling games. Scrapple is pig scraps. Basically, ground up left over pig parts, formed into a loaf, pan-fried until brown, and fed to you. What parts could possibly be in there? They leave that fairly ambiguous. The package reads, “May contain pigs’ head, liver, heart, snout, feet, tongue, and other pork trimmings.” This is enough to make any stomach quiver. But if I’m going to eat blowfish, owl, and panda, I had to forge ahead with snout. Scrapple has history, man. According to Wikipedia, Scrapple is arguably the first “pork food” invented in America. How bad could it be? It’s breakfast meat. Name me one bad breakfast meat. Can’t be done.

That scrapple was greased up, fried up, and served with my eggs. Let me tell you something – It wasn’t that bad. I felt myself getting fatter and pinker though. Have you ever felt your arteries clogging? I could actually feel my arteries attempting to work and failing. It’s no wonder this country has an obesity problem if we’re inventing shit like this. Scrapple is like corn bread except replace the corn with ‘meat’. It breaks apart fairly easily. If it weren’t fried, it would just be tiny ground up meat and spices. Yes, it was edible. No I will never have it again. It makes me wonder though if eating that many miscellaneous pig parts is good immunization against swine flu. I suspect yes. Afraid of needles? Eat scrapple.

Blessing in disguise

Greg — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 16:58:40 +0000

I just read that Lee Redmond, a woman in the Guinness Book of World Records for her long fingernails, was in a serious car accident on Tuesday. During the accident, her record-setting fingernails were shorn off. It is reported that she hadn’t cut them since 1979. Luckily Redmond, though still in serious condition, did not receive life-threatening injuries.

Here is my appeal to you Ms Redmond. Do not re-grow your fingernails. This is a blessing in disguise. The past 30 years have given way to a slurry of technological advancement, not seen since a steam engine powered the Industrial Revolution. I’m presuming you have family? Watch in amazement as this thing called a “cell phone” dials that niece you haven’t spoken to in years. You keep it in your pocket and bring it with you everwhere!

They now have a vast array of networked computers they’re calling the “World Wide Web”. There you’ll find a “website” called Facebook. While on Facebook you can keep up with old friends or tell people what you’re up to by typing “status messages”. Remember typing?

Be amazed that you can pick up things with your 10 digits with little to no effort at all. Lee, this really is for the best. And hey, while you’re at it, why don’t you get a new haircut to go along with your newly shortened fingernails?

We’re winning

Greg — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 19:20:03 +0000

We’re winning! Revel in it ladies and gents. Boeing recently announced that they have successfully shot down a highly sophisticated Unmanned Aerial Vehicle; using a laser! Robots! Lasers! Side note, doesn’t it feel more appropriate to spell Lazer with a Z?

Humans 1 Robots 0

It should be noted that this was done without the aid of John Conner. A noble accomplishment. We’ll still need his help if we’re going to win this thing, but it’s a good start. Once Skynet is turned on, this is going to be a lot more difficult. Throw in the fact that soon the we’ll all be held captive by a neurological simulation while those very same UAVs use our bodies as batteries, and you start to realize that we should really relish this victory.

Also, according to the picture… this also coincides with the return of the dinosaurs. Bonus!

Minute Men

Greg — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 19:52:01 +0000

Be prepared to be sick to your stomach. Stamina Pillows are a new take on a very old problem. Here’s an invention that is so simple in it’s design and execution, you wonder why we’re just seeing these now. These pillows are simultaneously brilliant and vomit-inducing!

Linens designed to increase a man or woman’s stamina in bed by offering pictures of horrifically ugly people embroidered right on them. The idea is that you look at these and instantly lose any mojo you may have had going. Kind of like thinking about your Grandma naked, minute men.

What started as an ad campaign for Durex Performa condems turned into something far more than they expected. Durex had to print hundreds more of the stamina pillows because they were such a success.

Quite frankly, these things are so disgusting they could easily spoil the whole affair. I’m truly scarred by these images.
