Holaloha,


Monsters hide everywhere--from under your bed to in your closet, but who knew they were lurking on the Internet...??? Each day Stefan Bucher brings a creature to life through a video demonstration. He'll add some commentary about his numbered beasts and asks you to post your own story about his latest creation.

Hitchcock would be proud
Persistent bugger, this enraged goose assaulting a small boat. As someone said, it's a bit like "Jaws" filmed on a camcorder, though it's more embarrassing to be mauled to death by waterfowl.

Bush in advertising
Interesting look at how "Dubya" is portrayed by advertisers in different countries, many of them oh so friendly.

Nice package
When it comes to store-bought food and food-like products, we all know that items in the package may be gnarlier than they appear on the label. Don't need a translation to enjoy this one.

Dominotrix
Impress your friends by balancing 17 dominoes on one upright domino. Great bar trick if you make a habit of carrying dominoes with you at all times. I haven't tried it, but I'm guessing it ain't as easy as it looks.

News flash: Life at auction
GMSV reports that, "time's running out for your chance to buy Ian Usher's entire life in Perth, Australia -- house, furnishings, vehicles, even his job as a rug store assistant, if you want it. Bidding, now pushing $375,000, ends Sunday. Says Usher, 'On the day it is all sold and settled I intend to walk out of my front door with my wallet in one pocket and my passport in the other, nothing else at all, and get on the train, with no idea where I am going or what the future holds for me.'"


Famous last words
"Men are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of things." -- Epictetus (55-135 A.D.)
