Just in case you ever wondered what you get when breed a bull and a mare, I have the answer - a jumart. While playing Beyond Boulderdash with the young marrieds last night, we came across this odd word, and I promised to provide a picture if I could google up such a creature. No luck though. It's just a fabled creature - Which the Boulderdash card failed to mention.

The more i use StumbleUpon, the more I really love using it. It really is an innovative way to surf the web.

Today's most interesting stumble: The Brick Testament. It's a website of a guy who is illustrating the entire Bible using only Legos!

Andy Kaufman is alive and posting on blogger.com exactly 20 years after his "faked" death? It's really tempting to completely discredit this as a big hoax. But after all...who else but Andy Kaufman would pull such a stunt?

I know I've been spending too much time ranting about advertising, but while looking for new information regarding the Subservient Chicken everyone's been talking about, I found this page. The writer talks about an insert he had found in a magazine about a soon-to-be-published book about Humanoid Robots.

To make a long story (you really ought to read) short - the whole thing seems to be hoax marketing for the Mini Cooper. Although there is no direct evidence of this, the voice behind both Subservient Chicken and the Mini Cooper is a marketing company called Crispin, Porter + Bogusky. CPB has a history of alternative marketing and is responsible for the campaigns for truth, Molson, and Ikea - as well as Burger King and Mini Cooper. So, you be the judge. But be sure to check out the videos on "the professor's" webpage and be amazed at the depth of the deception produced for this campaign.

So what if it's only a local holiday invented by a wacky group of college students at the University of Texas. It's the bestest holiday of all, and it takes place next Friday, May 7th. The "Knighthood of Buh" (Maybe they've seen Bah. Radio?) has claimed this as a day where everyone, be they students, respectable businessmen, or cherished community leaders, leave their pants behind.

That's it? Yep.

Am I going to participate? Probably not. But it's nice to know there's a holiday for pantlessness.

It's amusing to me to see the way the creepy/offbeat humor of the internet is making it's way into the corporate marketing arena.

The quizno's we love the subs commercials were a great example of this. Now, Burger King is getting into the action. Check out Subservient Chicken.com! I don't know how watching a chicken do what I tell it to will make me eat at BK, but at least it's not your typical advertising!

Out of the billions of personal sites out there, I have randomly googled my way to komar.org twice now.

The first time was a few weeks ago when I was looking for generic pictures of swimming pools to use for an aquatics website I was working on. When I saw a picture of a larger-than-life incredible hulk in pool on google image search, I had to check it out. We got lots of laughs here at the office over all the hulk pictures but had to get back to work and didn't explore the rest of the site.

Then today, I was working on a site about conserving bats and in my frustration searched for "bat hunting" and: www.komar.org/faq/hunting_bats/ came up as number 6 in Google.

That's not all. Be sure to read on for more than you ever wanted to know about BBQ Modding, Growing Grass, Hunting Squirrels, and his 1972 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Convertible.

I need to get a job with the Google Copernicus Hosting Environment and Experiment in Search Engineering.

Every once in a while I stumble upon something so outrageous, unique, intriguing that I just have to share it with somebody. Today, that discovery was Maze Maker. Somebody actually took the time to write a program that creates mazes in gif format to your exact specifications.

So today, mister master of maze making programming, today is your day.
