Vampire Wedding, Werewolf Witness

2009-12-23T16:34:00.000-05:00

Useless without pix, I know. I hate when these articles pop up without images of which to properly make fun. More vampire fans getting married in England.
I don't know a single vampire who has ever expressed an interest in a human themed wedding.

Real life corpse bride

2009-12-22T14:57:00.000-05:00

A very thoughtful father in China found his dead son a nice dead girl to share eternity with him.

Read the gruesome deatils here.

Isn't that nice?

Werewolf? There wolf!

2009-12-13T11:49:00.001-05:00

I guess humans have such a case of monster-envy that they're trying to find any way they can to associate themselves with us monsters. Now there's 'proof' that a full moon has a werewolf effect on people.

Extra, extra, read all about it!

:P

Back to the cave

2009-12-06T12:08:00.000-05:00

Cave spiders. Male on the left. Female on the right.

BBC Earth News. Sounds like the set up for a horror movie: Ten years ago archaeologists explored a cave, and accidentally brought back cave spiders in their equipment. The spiders made themselves at home in a nearby house. Now, they have to go back to the cave.
Like me, they don't like light, so I'm guessing they'll be much better off.

Fox muses vampires

2009-11-25T21:59:00.003-05:00

Are vampires real? Well, these three certainly aren't.

Fox muses the scientific possibility of vampires. The annual articles debating if vampires are real seem to be happening more often… or at least every time some stupid human-made vampire film is released.

Here comes the science.

Read it, and weep… tears of ketchup if you don't mind.

Kong's skeleton

2009-11-24T23:42:00.006-05:00

King Kong's skeleton.

Found this at Millions of Monkeys.

The original King Kong skeleton was sold at a Christie's auction for $218K. Long live King Kong.

Juan Cabana strikes again!

2009-11-23T11:30:00.005-05:00

I must be losing a step. I had to find this floating around on Betty Bones' blog through my sister, DeMonica. I've posted finds about this guy, Juan Cabana before. Early on I didn't realize he's an artist, but now I really admire what he does. He's moved on from hoaxes, and is creating taxidermy creatures that never existed… at least as far as YOU know.

Juan Cabana Creatures on environmentalgraffiti.com

Here's his art at the original site that featured the hoax art.

This is one of Ira / Miguel's works of art: A mummified demon bat.

Art that desrves burial

2009-11-14T17:01:00.003-05:00

I would never sleep in this casket.

Oh, please. Art caskets? This is like those race car beds. They look cheesy because they ARE cheesy. No one wants to sleep in a gaudy casket, do they?

Rat invasion

2009-11-08T18:25:00.003-05:00

The rats are coming to get you, Barbara.

A lot of my friends are rats, and they are very insulted by the idea that a recession will bring out more rats. Nevertheless, I hear chatter, and the rats do plan to invade according my sources. Surprisingly there are a lot of rats in the rat population.

ABC News story of pending rat invasion.

The Rocky Horror Picture trendies

2009-11-07T10:35:00.003-05:00

How about give them the world record so we never have to "do the time warp" again.

Rocky Horror fans make bid for world's largest Time Warp.

Jewish spider

Spider makes a perfect Star of David web.

What's the big deal. Never heard of a Jewish spider?

Halloween Wedding

2009-11-01T10:43:00.002-05:00

Here's a couple of goofballs getting married on Halloween dressed as ogre goblins and ghouls. Hmmpff. Once a year people accept monsters, now this couple ruins it by making everyone who dresses up look like dorks.

Reminds me of the very first post I ever made to this blog.

Congratulations John Kemp and Liz Caswell.

Happy "Costume Day?"

2009-10-31T12:15:00.002-04:00

Seriously? Happy "Costume Day?" What the heck have we become? Are we all snowflakes?

STOP!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Darn it. I don't even like it when humans dress like me. But if Halloween becomes Costume Day I'm going to put ketchup on the lot of you, and gobble your bitter butts up.

New Sea Monster discovered

2009-10-29T11:29:00.004-04:00

A giant sea monster skull has been found in England. Apparently this fellow was big enough to eat a Tyrannosaurus Rex if he wanted to. Its head was over 8 feet long. That's why I'm assuming it's a boy. Only boys get a big head like that.

Read about the details here.

Zombie attack plan

2009-10-27T14:27:00.003-04:00

I are a college student :P

The Columbus Dispatch reported that the University of Florida has an emergency plan in case of zombie attack.

Too bad the PDF link is no longer there :(

Now what will they do?

Monster shark bite

2009-10-27T09:40:00.003-04:00

Whoa! The predator is the prey of a bigger predator as a 10 foot shark is bitten nearly in half by an estimated 20 foot monster shark! That's a lot of feet! Soon it'll come on land and eat us all up!
And with 20 feet, that thing is probably FAST!

Read and see it here.

Zombie attack to collapse civilization

2009-10-26T18:22:00.004-04:00

He's not all that smart, but this zombie is a handsome dude.

I know some zombies, and they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Take Betty Bones, for instance. Just a tad tardy to the smarts meetings. My point is, there's really not much to worry about when scientists say a zombie attack could destroy civilization. Follow the rules of the George Romero zombies. That's closer to the truth.

The thing is they are not really all that infectious. Sure they can bite you, but they only want you for your brains. Most humans act like idiots with no brains anyway. You're most likely safe from the zombie apocalypse.

16 cockroaches for lunch

2009-10-25T01:19:00.002-04:00

Sean Murphy is going to need a breath mint. He broke the world record for… wait, just so you know - there's a world record for this because so many people have so few talents they rely on idiotic stunts like putting cockroaches in their mouth to "accomplish" something… putting 16 cockroaches in his mouth at one time.

Yes, indeedy. He put 16 cockroaches in his mouth.

Cat Girl

2009-10-23T12:15:00.003-04:00

Some girl from China is turning into a cat. Gray, not black, so I guess her luck is not all that bad ;)

Clicky.

The corpse of the issue

2009-10-19T12:36:00.004-04:00

It's slightly understandable, but still simply repulsive. A dead body is in plain sight on a balcony for days before anyone realizes it's not part of a Halloween display. Please. Does no one in this apartment complex know what their neighbors look like? "Hey, that scarecrow looks a lot like Mostafa Mahmoud Zayed, the guy who lives down the hall… wait a second… That IS Mostafa!

Time to ban Halloween decorations as the holiday's origins are nothing more than a hate-filled celebration to frighten away ghouls, demons, and monsters in general. You can dress like us, but you can never be us. What makes you think we'll fear you if you dress like us. Go on, mock us, but we will haunt your nights as long as you continue to disregard your fellow human as you have disregarded Mostafa Mahmoud Zayed.

Brazilian Bats. That's a LOT!

2009-10-06T12:08:00.004-04:00

Want to see the coolest video you'll ever witness of bats viewed in infrared? These Brazilian bats were recorded using infrared so their habits were not disrupted by light.

Next thing you know they'll be video-recording me without my consent. Invasion of privacy!

Still cool, though.

Meat eating vegetation

2009-10-02T10:42:00.003-04:00

Okay, so, we've got meat-eating people, plant-eating people (vegetarians, vegans, etc.), plant-eating animals (herbivores) meat-eating animals (carnivores), buffet-eating people (omnivores) people-eating monsters, a few plant-eating monsters, insect-eating plants (Venus flytrap), insect-eating people (Renfield) and now the amoeba shape is complete:

Meat-eating plants!

Hooray for evolution!

Rats! It's what's for dinner ;)

Snake with a foot

2009-09-28T12:59:00.004-04:00

A cute little snake with a foot. Is it a left or right?

A foot snake. Is that anything like an inch worm? Nah.

This li'l guy or gal has to be a sign of the apocalypse. Or maybe just some wacky genetic throwback.
Come one, come all! Meet the snake with a foot, and read all the gory details right here at this link.

/it's really not gory.

slither, thump… slither, thump… slither, thump, etc.

Spiders are terrific pigs

2009-09-25T14:18:00.002-04:00

We should all take it as a lesson that animals and insect are not to be "kept." When you fill your dwelling with creepy crawlies that are potentially deadly, you stand a chance of being devoured by your "pets."

And that's just what happened.

A 30 year old German man named Mark Voegel was bitten by his black widow spider, then found over a week later with his household insects and reptiles picnicking on and apartment-squatting in his remains. Yum.

Humans are murderers

2009-09-19T09:54:00.003-04:00

A tear, a very rare tear escaped my eye when I saw this story. This poor little "monster" or "alien" was just an unknown creature to some boys in Panama. The teenagers decided it was a strange enough creature to them that they should stone it to death.
That's right, kids; when you see something, and you don't know what it is - it is imperative that you stone it to death. Unknown creatures are ALWAYS dangerous.
As it turns out the creature is very likely a deformed, hairless sloth.

The picture shown is a happy sloth. I couldn't bring myself to post the dead body of a poor murdered creature. You'll find it in the article.
