Apparently, I like rebellion in any form because this is my favorite news story of the week:
Angry bored octopus goes wilding
Ghostbusters Game Is So Lifelike, It's Spooky - I may need to get because I only saw the movie 15+ times in the theatre.
Deal: Amazon’s 15 Days 15 Deals TV on DVD Sale!

...but I'm stumbling across a lot of goodness on the web this morning.
20 (More) Strange and Exotic Endangered Species - these are not photoshopped at all. Yes, you'll freak out. Bugophobic people probably shouldn't look.
Alternate Currency - xkcd strikes again.
Two tee shirts, a party invitation and talking fish - Neil Gaiman shows off shirts for CBLDF. I want the first one badly, though the Hellboy one isn't bad. Also, they are reissuing the Vertigo Tarot deck for The Sandman anniversary. Yes, I want.
If you're not following Kawaii Not on LJ, you're missing out.
If Christmas Presents Were Honest by Holy Taco
Mercenaries, Sonic Blasters No Match for Pirates - if you build a better mousetrap, you only make a smarter mouse.
Psychopaths have an eye for the underdog - kind of a scary office environment experiment
How Comics Can Save Us From Scientific Ignorance

Things to Read Today
And I would ask: why do those against same-sex marriage want to interfere with the livelihoods of thousands of decent, hard-working Californians and deprive them of millions of dollars of potential income?
Fun with Generators. I swear, I can't swing a dead cat on the Internet (and don't ask how I do it) without running into Lore Sjöberg's work. The man is too funny.
Barnes & Noble Forum Q&A with William Gibson
So, since my recently-released novel Midnight Never Come grew directly out of an RPG I ran in 2006, I decided to go ahead and add my own thoughts to the mix. Because honestly? I believe that playing RPGs makes me a better writer.
According to Time, the best 50 Websites of 2008. Expect a lot of vanilla safeness and a nap.
Does this make you wonder if the Queensland's Education Minister is a child molester?
Um. Holy Crap on a stick.
New Dark Knight trailer that should make your panties moist
Oh, I can hear the stupid and pointless wanking now, but I say, "YAY" for Russell T. Davis, an Officer of the British Empire.
That's it, kiddies. Back to work.

Best-selling author Neil Gaiman announced that DreamWorks Animation has optioned the film rights for his upcoming novel Interworld.
This might be a good idea of you're too rough on your cat OR if your cat's too rough on your mice. I so want the Samurat General one.
Your sugar fix for the day: let's be friends
Absolutely priceless. I wonder how many car crashes it caused. I would've crashed laughing too hard.
Seriously, what is wrong with people?

Um, damn. I want to know the name of the manufacturer of that wheelchair.
After seeing this, I want a WII much more than a PS3.
I have a sick, weird fascination with Chernobyl. This is for me later. The animals are returning despite radiation.
Real life heists - amazing stories
The only reason to go to Kansas
Once, in college, I was going to make a giant man from all the knives, forks and spoons I stole from the cafeteria, but this is so much cooler. I wish I had thought of it.
Like I need 8 reasons to be excited about Ironman.
This hurts my brain. I don't know why.
The most phallic turtle EVAH!
One more reason to hate Garfield.
This is very cool. What families around the World eat for Dinner.

Police say the couple thought the victim sold the dog so they beat him with a piece of wood, tried to suffocate him with a plunger, gagged him, and kept a bag over his head.
Only 25.2 percent of American workers have a job that pays at least $16 per hour and provides health insurance and a pension, according to a new study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
The best header ever - and it's not even dirty: Tit okay, but cock is out
Some how, I don't believe an injection of collagen will solve anything.
A lawsuit filed in May of 2006 by Pennsylvania attorney Marc Bragg accused Linden Lab and its CEO Philip Rosedale of wrongfully seizing his virtual land and unilaterally shutting down his Second Life account—intellectual property that Bragg says is worth thousands of (real-life) dollars. Linden Lab filed two motions to dismiss the suit, arguing that Bragg came into possession of his land wrongfully, but the Pennsylvania judge denied those motions.
Typitytypetype - how fast are you?
The weirdest thing on Amazon in quite some time.
Despite what Bush may have you believe there can be no such thing as a “War on Terrorism”. Ron Paul has clearly pointed out that “terrorism is a tactic”. You cannot have a War on a tactic.

I never discuss bathroom behavior on my LJ, but I feel we've been friends long enough to move into such mundane subjects. Last night, as I emptied my bladder before bed, I noticed an ant on the tile floor. Typically, I wouldn't have noticed this very small ant, but Black Kitty was sitting near by and NOT attacking. Black Kitty attacks everything and often, whether it actually exists or not, much to White Boo Boo Kitty’s dismay. Anyway, the ant marched towards the corner where the tub meets the wall – the corner where all the little fun bits of crud collected.
Before it could hit any grime, a spider dropped from its imperceptible web and snatched the ant up. Lifting the wee bug only an eighth of the inch off the floor, if that, the spider moved close and did something I couldn’t see to make the ant stop struggling. The spider couldn't have been bigger than the ant if it tried.
It was the teeny, tinniest Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom I'd ever seen.
Early that day, I ended up writing a poem about the baby spiders on the car windshield. I have to rework it and see if it's any good for Don't Look before you can read it, but I couldn’t help but wonder: Is the Universe trying to tell me something? What is it about itsy bitsy spiders that I should suddenly notice them so easily?
Or am I just a complete self-centered prat for believing the Universe wants to talk to me at all?
