How Far Would You Go For A Laugh?

The best blonde joke ever.

It's snapshot poem day. Am I writing? Am I brilliant and inspired?

No.

FYE (For Your Enlightenment)

Via feministe, my own Religion:

New Religion Creation
'New Age Text'

From the most glorious regions of the spiritual plane, I have channeled the disembodied spirit of Emma Goldman, bringing to you the wisdom and stone of the lost city of Venice. To usher in the New Age of cats you must heed my words and enhance spiritually. The time is soon when the space wagons of our galactic cousins will return and our collective wingedness will reach critical mass. The highest frequencies of the universe will spiral through the wrist chakras of the worthy, and our 3rd ankle shall be opened. But first we must look deep inside and accept our inner antler. We must feel the inner antler, become the inner antler, curve it as though it was a spiral. We must accept our karmic past, and, as our yogi master, Sophia, always says 'The true form of a circle is actually a round sphere , but enlightenment is like a red chair on the wind'. For there is no right or wrong, no carpet or anti-carpet, only one great and omnipresent vase.

Heh. I kind of like it.

Link Madness

This week's Carnival of the Cats is at Leslie's Omnibus; the next will be hosted here at Watermark. Send in your entries by 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.  I know that this may be a slow week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, but you have lots of time between now and Sunday to Polaroid those kitties.

A few things to entertain you in the meantime:

Via lonita's links log, we have Disclaimer stickers for science textbooks, and How To Get That Elusive P-Shift! (very, very weird)

The American Garden Museum, via the always wonderful fishbucket
and somewhat related: Stop Oppressive Gardening!

Let Them Sing It For You, via Google Blogoscoped

The Family Values Generator, via Blogywood

And finally, via Mandarin Design, Spider Art:  it generates a collage-like image based on the links from a specified URL.  Here is Watermark:

Go play, and good Tuesday!

ADDED 10:00 PM:  except it's Wednesday.  Sheesh.

Libido linked to love of chocolate

WOMEN have compared chocolate to sex for decades. Now doctors have discovered a scientific link between the two.

According to Italian researchers, women who eat chocolate regularly had the highest levels of desire, arousal and satisfaction from sex.

Apophenia is declaring ostrich, temporarily, and she is not alone.
