In 1973 Pink Floyd released Dark Side of the Moon.  Considered by some to be the bands greatest album, it lives today as a classic example of modern jazz, and as one of the highest selling albums of all time.  So somewhere along the line someone decided that it would be fun to play the album while watching The Wizard of Oz.  I’d long heard the tale of the strange connection between these two pieces for years, but I’d never bothered to set it all up…now it seems that I don’t have to.  Check out The Dark Side of the Rainbow at www.sugarjar.com.

Apparently those swords that people have hanging on their walls do work. A local Minnesota man defended his apartment with a sword. The three would be robbers sure picked the wrong apartment. Just because the apartment owner is a Dungeons and Dragons fan does not mean that he won’t be able to defend himself.

According to police, once the burglars were inside, they got into a fight with one of the residents who grabbed his roommates sword and started slashing the intruders. His feisty attack send the invaders running, but not before he wounded several.

Shortly after Minneapolis police arrived, they were called by doctors at HCMC about the arrival of three people to the ER with severed fingers and lacerations.

Good thing he didn’t start throwing fireballs at him. Those 1D20 rolls can sure hurt.

This…is honestly amazing.  I can’t watch it more than once thought caus I might hurt myself just watching.  If this guy isn’t in Circus de Soleil, he should be.  Watch to the very end…it gets scary wierd.

Remember that sketch, how not to be seen? 

If you’re a fan of Monty Python and Star Wars, you will definitely get some amusement out of this video…though on the subject of creepy things, the last thirty seconds of this sketch takes the cake. 

This thing is pretty amazing.  It’s a demo reel for a 3D artist…though I’m not exactly sure who.  Still, it’s worth taking a look.  You’ll be amazed.

…an idiots guide to art.  Actually it’s an article about a certain exhibit in London that has become the focal point of a discussion on the state of modern art.  In all honestly, the discussion is nothing new, but it’s always fun to point and laugh.

Who would have seen this coming? A party listed as celebrating 6-6-06 would get out of control.

Some residents complained to township officials about public urination, blocking of roadways and other incidents during the celebration on the once-in-a-lifetime date.

However, not everything was bad about the event. It did raise awareness of the city and generate higher than expected sales.

“Our goal was to sell 300 T-shirts that day,” said Colone, who owns Screams Ice Cream in Hell. “The shirt company did 2,500 shirts that day. Nobody was prepared for this.”

Earlier article: Hell Michigan and 6/6/06

I’m sorry, this is just funny.  I once had a dog that barked at the birds on my electronic encyclopedia, but this totally beats that…

You’ve got a date in hell. Hell Michigan is celebrating the date of 6/6/06 today. So if you’re in the area drop in to Hell.

Here’s what I found interesting about Hell Michigan.

From Wikipedia:

Hell’s main export is, appropriately, kitsch. It has a “fully non-accredited” college that sells singed diplomas, a motorcycle dealership, and an ice cream parlor.

Hell, Michigan

I went to hell and all I got was a diploma.

Update:

Climax, Michigan is just west of Hell, Michigan.  So, one more odd name to add to the list.

According to my friend Justin, this is the coolest thing you will see today.
