Random Round Up

No unifying theme, just some general stuff that has been hanging around in my bookmarks, aimlessly mooching around, kicking at rocks, staring distractedly at it’s nails etc etc……

First off, a design for possibly the coolest building ever.

Something to help with those Cthulhu dreams.

Sweet Revenge - finally, those unstoppable rocks from ‘Asteroids’ get their own back. Did you know the highest score ever recorded for Asteroids is  41,336,440 which takes over 27 hours to reach? Well, then you’ve learnt something today. Be sure to use that in your next meeting as a illustrative example of the results of hard-work and dedication. It’s bound to impress that foxy blonde from procurement.

Professional lunatic Crispin Glover has a new film out - and it looks mental. Here’s his famous Letterman appearance from 1987.

An illuminating interview with the dudes behind South Park. Like most, I think I lost interest in South Park a good many years ago, but their recent efforts seem to be getting under just about everyone’s skin which must be a good sign. If you wish to take your life in your hands,  I dare you to seek out the Muhammad episode.

An intriguing historical curiosity here, Douglas Adams (RIP) explores the possibilites of a new phemonemenon called the ‘Internet’. From 1990 if I’m reading my roman numerals correctly.

Following on from the weekend, it appears that uber band Big Black only reformed for a one off gig in celebration of Touch & Go’s 25th anniversary. God bless the internet to have that live footage. Can’t wait for the documentary to become available.

Now, this is just sick - a mum befriends her son on the internet by posing as 17 year old on Bebo, he falls for her. Years of therapy, schoolyard beatings will not doubt ensue. Nice of her to publish this in a daily, national newspaper too eh? As it was put on metafilter - ‘OK. That’s just a bit weird. *backs slowly away from the internet*’…

Another poster replies to the story by explaining that his sister-in-law sent her son an email inquiring as to his preference for dinner that evening. His email response:

“This is so gay. Never email me again.”

 I’m still laughing at that one…..
