  • Big Fish

    misc/catfishYou may recall the story and photo I posted about the record holding catfish that weighed in at 124-pounds. Well, the record has been broken. According to the AP, the record has been broken in Thailand, where fishmen pulled in a 646-pound catfish. After the WWF verified the catch, the men did what any good […]

  • Holy Catfish!

    misc/capt_cx10405242112_big_catfish_cx104Amazing! A man catches a 124 lb. catfish. Even more amazing is that, so far, the fish is still alive, and being kept at an outfitter store in the area. As Sarah points out in one of the comments, this fish is bigger than the pig we’re getting for our pig roast this Monday. From […]

  • Bathroom Break

    misc/329_bathroombreakIt’s been a while since I’ve posted a new photo of the “week”, but since the Star Wars movie, “Revenge of the Sith“, is coming out next week, I thought it would be appropriate to post this nice picture of a stormtrooper taking a break.

Each morning the former world and European champion […]

  • Knife Holder with a Message

    misc/stabbykniferackI guess you wouldn’t get your spouse this knifeholder for a present. I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it myself, but this kitchen accessory looks like a human form being stabbed by multiple knives. Perhaps there’s some art angle that I’m missing, but I can’t see how anyone would want this in […]

  • Photo of the Week

    misc/i_beat_anorexiaI’ve decided to start doing a “photo of the week” to find the best of the photos I see in a week. I’m starting off with one I saw a few months ago, but recently appeared elsewhere today, and wanted to share it. I will do my best to give attribution to the photographer, and […]
