Life’s a bitch. Here’s how to write a song with David Grohl

If you were to write a song, don’t take lessons from your mom … or your dog.

Just watch this video with David Grohl and that guy from Tenacious D.

Then you’ll know.

Repost: Bible Contradictions quiz show

This is a repost from last year, but since we’ve had bible contradictions on the brain, it is apropos. Give her a whirl:

 

A believer for gay marriage!

This one is going to make the rounds, I’m sure. This brave woman posted a Valentine message which her church pressured her to take down. After further thought, she re-posted it. And I’m damn glad she did. What an awesome woman.

Yes, she’s Mormon. And, yes, she’s a believer. This is what a believer should stand up for, what’s good and right, and not what her organization tells her to believe.

My hat is off. She officially gets the “Believer of the Day” Award.

Hump Day Nooner: Friendly Atheist » Billy Ray Cyrus Scared of Atheist Sign

I had to share this here. Poor Billy Ray Cyrus and his Achy Breaky whatever. He passed a sign with Miley everyday while driving into Hollywood that attacked him.

The sign literally attacked him and his family.

I smell a monster movie a brewin’. Click below for Hemant Mehta’s post.

Madagascar – Island of Marvels – Episode 1 of 3

I’m reblogging this from Atheist Media. It’s a science show about Madagascar that looks fascinating. It’s in three parts, and the first episode is an hour. I hope to watch it when I catch up on some work.

From YouTube:

David Attenborough tells the story of one of the most intriguing wild places on Earth, Madagascar, in this fascinating new three-part series. “This is the story of what happens when a set of animals and plants are cast away on an island for millions of years. This is how this curious wonderland came into being,” he explains.
In splendid isolation, Madagascar has evolved its very own, quite extraordinary wildlife — more than 80 per cent of it is found nowhere else.
The stars are the lemurs — Madagascar’s own primates. The indris, the size of a small child, leap like gymnasts among rainforest trees. Crowned lemurs scamper around Madagascar’s weirdest landscape — the razor-sharp limestone tsingy, which looks like something from another planet. And sifakas, ghostly white lemurs, leap upright on their back legs, moving like ballerinas across the forest floor.
Male red giraffe-necked weevils use their necks to fight each other, while the females use their necks and beefy thighs to build leaf nests with the complexity of origami. Chameleons stalk the forests, and none is more intriguing than the pygmy chameleon, the world’s smallest reptile, which delicately courts a female in its giant world.
Filmed for the first time for TV, and possibly never before observed in the wild, a spider hauls an empty snail shell, 30 times its own weight, up into a bush to use as a shelter from the heat. And the fearsome fossa, Madagascar’s only big mammal predator, looks for a mate — 15 metres up a tree.
Many of Madagascar’s wild landscapes and species are under threat of disappearing for ever. David concludes: “It’s only in the last few decades that we’ve really started to appreciate this curious land. Let’s hope it’s not too late.”
The behind-the-scenes Madagascar Diaries shows the challenges of filming the reed lemur in the middle of Madagascar’s biggest lake.

4 month pit pup swallows drumstick (instrument not animal)

Link takes you away from le café

Leela is a 4-month-old pit bull mix with a penchant for eating, and in this case just about anything goes.

“She’s a pup right now, so she chews on about anything she can get hold of,” according to Thomas Driscoll, Leela’s Owner.

“She’s eaten a few shoes, she’s chewed up a football, some towels. She’s chewed up all her toys, she’s a good chewer,” according to Alex Driscoll, Thomas’ sister.

But when Leela suddenly stopped eating and chewing, she earned a quick trip to the vet and when veterinarian Dr. Kathy Blanchard first caught sight of Leela’s x-rays, she thought they were a hoax.

“I thought the techs were playing a prank on me. I thought they’d taken a piece of pipe, we’d had a plumber in the day before, and they’d laid it on the dog and taken the x-rays and just thrown them up there to see my reaction,” said Blanchard.

Officer, it’s nature’s glove compartment

Where would you keep the following list of items:

17 blue pills, a cigarette, six matches, one flint, an empty syringe with an eraser covering the needle, a lip balm container, an unused condom, a pharmacy receipt and a coupon.

Most people would put that in their underwear drawer. Or maybe in their safe.

But homeless, stretchy rectum Neil Lansing, 33, hid all those things inside of a condom, inside his rectum.

Did you just pucker your back side? Did you? I did.

Wow! Just wow.
