A Return To Morbidity, Then Laughter

Today I will return to the morbid. It seems to me that we all share a sense of dread when facing the unknown, especially the great unknown. By this reference I, of course, mean death. What will happen when this life is over? I do not know. But that is not the focus of today's discussion. I will not tell you about what happens after death, just the manner of it.

I stumbled across this page everal weeks ago and forgot about it until this morning. A List of unusual deaths list some of the strange ways that people have shuffled off this mortal coil. From marathon video game sessions, to being every player in a soccer team being hit by the same bolt of lightning, this site describes some of the weirdest exits from this planet.

Now to the lughter part that you were promised. Safenow.org is a parody site of a US information website. It's another attempt at scare mongering in the style of the old "duck and cover" advice after WWII.

The fun thing is that these pictures are so ambiguous they could mean anything! Tere are a few interpretations below. Enjoy!

Note: This parody site was built for fun. For the serious stuff, see our friends protecting our great country at http://www.ready.gov or the Department of Homeland Security at http://www.dhs.gov

Wild and Weird

Today I am going to focus on two of my favorite sites. They are both from bloggers like myself. The first one is Dark Roasted Blend. This is a very popular blog with over 25,000 subscribers. My goal in this blog is to bring you, the reader, all of the weird and wonderful things on the net and this site has a huge collection. Today I am going to focus on the Weird section of the site. From wild weather to weird wearables, this site dsplays a myriad of unusual things.

The other blog that I am going to point you to is a little bit more "morbid". It is called Morbid Anatomy and its tag states "Surveying the Interstices of Art and Medicine, Death and Culture." Wonderful photos and in-depth information about the authors and subjects or the narratives will either have you rapt with attention or praying to the porcelain god. Either way, this site will catch your interest and the images will stay with you for a long while.

Quick Post

Really quick post today. I have found two weird sites for you enjoyment.
I know that at one time or the other we have all thought "I wonder what would happen if I put this in the microwave." From ketchup packets to gelatin cups, even a footbal have gone into the microwave over at Micromaniac. They even show you time lapse video for those people who do not want to wait.

The second location we will look at can be compared to sex. It can be fun alone, but even more enjoying with a group of friends. Let me welcome you to "Pick The Perp" The game is really simple. You are shown mug shots of five people. You are then given a crime that one of these people were convicted of such as Sexual Battery. Your job is to pick the person who you think committed the crime. The site keeps track of correct and incorrect guesses so you can try to achieve a high score. My best is 31/100 = 31%. I challenge you to do better.

Look What I Found
