Dying Heron

May 27th, 2010 No comments

The Big Picture has a rage-inducing set of photographs of the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The most depressing:

Sure would have been nice to have that $500,000 remote turn-off device that BP didn’t bother with, huh? I hard that so far, this has cost BP $760,000,000. That’s about 1% of the fine that should be levied on them.

A high-hat, with a souped up tempo

The Tell-Tale Heart was the first story I ever remember reading that actually scared me. At some point I got into some crazy Lovecraftian stuff, like all extra-literate teenagers, but I remember reading The Tell-Tale Heart in about the 5th grade, in class in the middle of the day, and shivering. Ol’ Edgar Allen was a messed up individual.


Of course, so is Randall Munroe.



(What? I disappeared for almost 2 months and then suddenly 2 posts in two days? I have no earthly idea what you are talking about, crazy person.)
