“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Crapping on CrossFit (again)

The CrossFit Craze continues to provide LOTS of material for the rest of us to laugh at: Honestly the only part of that video that wasn’t hilariously funny was the bit where the weightlifter failed to put up that Atlas stone. That wasn’t funny at all- I...

The consequences of homogamy

Well… he DOES have a point… I certainly don’t mind admitting that I enjoy seeing stupid ideas destroyed when they run head-first into the unyielding wall of reality, formed as it is from the bricks of logic and the mortar of evidence. It is worth...

That’s not gone well…

This is NOT how I thought the greatest television show ever conceived by human intelligence would end: Jeremy Clarkson faces arrest today after the BBC sacked him for punching a Top Gear producer in the face with such force he had to go to A&E.  The...

How’s about a bet?

Anyone want to take a punt as to the ethnicity and race of the perpetrators of a recent shooting at a pub in Sweden? At least two people were killed and eight injured during a shooting at pub in Sweden last night.  Automatic weapons are believed to have been used...

Gym Idiots: Dumbass Spotter Edition

Uh, miss, that’s very nice and all, but not quite what I had in mind… No Numbnuts Allowed So there I was in the gym yesterday, doing my weekly long workout whereby I do my damnedest to max out my numbers on all of the big three lifts. I’d just...

A sacred cow in dire need of slaughtering

Sticking with the theme of taking a sledgehammer to some of Britain’s most beloved institutions, it would appear that one Mike Portnoy was on the receiving end of this country’s idea of “free and fair healthcare”: This is the reality of...

Bring Back Clarkson!

I’d watch it. Over, and over, and over again. Just like I already do. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the BBC’s ideological purge of Jeremy Clarkson on what appears to be rather flimsy grounds is going to backfire in truly...

Hold them to a higher standard

Higher than, say, this AV8R/A.V. Yader/Whatshisname published a (very) long article over at Return of Kings today that had quite a lot to say about the virtues of selfishness and hedonism, in typically forthright fashion: If there’s one thing the loser has going for...
