Creepy Hands

Creepy hands and bad reflections pretty much sums up this collection of the 20 Biggest Photoshop Disasters of 2008 (via Creattica and PhotoshopDisasters.com).

This is a mild example, but I need to run home and check my copy of “300″:

Home sick

It started with a sore throat on Friday and now I can’t breathe. Self-administering massive amounts of Vitamin C, Zicam, Ibuprofen, Sudafed and Lolcats to get through the day…

Update 1/1/9: Nearly a week later and just coming out of it. I can actually breathe through my nose again. One more full night of sleep should do the trick. Most of the drugs listed above failed me (add NyQuil to that list, although DayQuil seemed to help a little). Sticking my head between a towel and steaming pot of water was the only consistent help. I think the (dry) cough is going to linger for a bit.

Germany or Florida? Round Three

It’s been a while since I stumbled across a news story for the “Germany or Florida?” bit. Since most whacked out things happen in one of those to places, see if you can guess which one this is. Answer after the jump.

A 49-year-old … woman says her former church is threatening to reveal her sins to its congregation after learning that she is in a “sexually immoral relationship.”

[She] told [us] that [the] Church … was against her relationship with [her] boyfriend … because the two were sexually active but not married.

When she wasn’t willing to obey the church’s orders to leave him, she decided to leave the church instead, allowing her two children to remain active members.

Now, she says, church elders have given her the worst ultimatum yet: In a Dec. 8 letter, they told her she either has to meet with them and end her “immoral” relationship or she will face public humiliation.

I Love Despair (Inc.)

After a few years hiatus I’ve ordered a calendar for next year from Despair, Inc.. I love that they let you pick the Demotivators for each month now. I also love their attitude:

Again, thanks for your recent order from Despair, Inc.

If you have received this email, it means that your credit card information proved valid and that your order has been sent. You might assume now that we have your money that you’re in for better treatment. You might also assume that if you try really hard, you will succeed. But your assumptions would, in both cases, be completely wrong. And that is why you REALLY need our products.

I’m Seriously Tempted…

I’ve got a first generation blue iMac sitting in my garage. It’s not really powerful enough to use for anything I do. I’m seriously tempted to something like this to it: Happy Hallowe’en! Soon.

What a Maroon

The 5 Reasons Luke Skywalker Is a Complete Idiot:

We all grew up wanting to be him—learning to use the Force, blowing up the Death Star, saving the galaxy. But the thing is, despite all his badass moments, he actually kind of sucks.

5) Trusting the Force to Help Him Blow Up the Death Star
4) Refusing to Listen to the Only Living Jedi in the Galaxy
3) His Insanely Stupid Plan To Rescue Han Solo from Jabba The Hutt
2) Throwing Away His Lightsaber in Front of the Emperor
1) Not Joining the Dark Side

The last one is especially good, including:

What has Luke had to look forward to after the original trilogy? Mostly trying to start up the whole Jedi Order by himself, which is a ton of work, and watching Han have almost constant sex with Leia. Between that and ruling with Vader, it’s not unlike a choice between working in your local library and becoming President. Not really much of a choice there.
