There are a lot of things that are just plain wrong with Hello Kitty fanatics. Getting a Hello Kitty tattoo is one of them. Getting a Hello Kitty Star Wars tattoo is even worse. But when Hello Kitty fanatics start tattooing their dog with Hello Kitty, there has been a boundary that has been crossed. Can there be a bigger insult if you are a dog? Having to go around in life with a Hello Kitty tattoo because you owner thought it would be “cute.” That dog must have been teased mercilessly by the other dogs at the park…

Flickr user STR820 has a beautiful photoset of found objects embedded in Brooklyn asphalt. There's a handsome incongruity in seeing everyday contemporary objects in such archaeological postures, as though the future ruins of our civilization have travelled backward in time to the present day. Link (Thanks, Mike!)

There's probably bodies down there.

This is a beautiful yet creepy story about the unconditional love between a dog and a cat. Oscar the dog and Arthur the cat were best of friends. They were inseparable. When 17-year-old Arthur kicked the bucket Oscar didn't know what to do with himself. Arthur's owners buried him in their garden.

Oscar must have seen this, because in the dead of night he went out into the garden and dug Arthur up. He carried Arthur to the basket they shared and gently cleaned him up. The owners found Oscar curled up next to Arthur's dead body the next morning.

Strange as it may seem, the dead have quit rotting in German cemeteries -- they are turning into wax-like corpses. Will the use of burial chambers solve the problem? Or is extensive soil reconditioning the only viable alternative?

Cemeteries are supposed to be the quietest places on earth. But that notion may soon have to be laid to rest: Exhumation experts are currently conducting large-scale digging operations in German graveyards, belying the very concept of eternal peace.

Corpses are no longer decaying in many German cemeteries. Instead, the deceased become waxen, an uncanny process that has become so rampant it can no longer be ignored.

A high moisture content in the subsoil combined with low temperatures and a lack of oxygen are the main culprits. These conditions transform the soft tissue of many bodies not into humus, but rather "a gray-white, paste-like, soft mass," says soil expert Rainer Horn from the Christian Albrecht University in Kiel, Germany.

As time passes, the remains of the departed coagulate to form "a hard, durable substance." When knocked with a spade, the wax-like bodies sound hollow.

I wonder if this type of wax has any industrial uses... The Germans will surely find out if anyone will.

The state said it is a danger to people living nearby and plan to demolish it.

Tracy said it is no big deal and he is already looking for a new location for his next underground home.

The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, recently told an interviewer for the British edition of GQ that marijuana is “not a drug”. When pressed by the interviewer on his well documented use of marijuana in the film documentary Pumping Iron, he said ” That is not a drug. It’s a leaf”. So, you bench press several hundred pounds, squat nearly half a ton, you get tired and you want to unwind . . . the obvious non-drug of choice is marijuana! Alas, when the PR implications of this statement became obvious, we got this from his press secretary:

Anyone have an audio clip of that quote?
