Real life corpse bride

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

Isn't that nice?

Juan Cabana strikes again!

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.

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.

The corpse of the issue

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.

Spiders are terrific pigs

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

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.

Urn a living

Yucky urn head for your beloved's ashes.

A very dear pet of mine recently passed, and I've been looking for methods of ash saving or scattering. I stumbled on this gem:

Ashes urn shaped like a human head.

For the record, I won't be putting a cat's ashes in a ceramic head.
Good grievous.

Readers don't watch movies

Apparently, library goers never watch movies or heard of Poltergeist. You wouldn't catch me borrowing one of their books when they get this library finished!

Long Island paper picks up the monster

Long Island’s Newsday is finally getting in on the Montauk Monster action. This time, at least, there’s some more info than just an image, and random speculation.

See the Newsday article.

Go directly to montaukmonster.com

And, finally: Newsday’s interesting piece, 4o Creatures that may or may not Exist.

…and yet again

Main stream media picked up the Montauk Monster again. This time MSNBC is reporting on blog reporting. Amusing, but still sad for the poor expired creature.

Montauk monster is back… again

I swore I wouldn’t mention the poor Montauk Monster again, but this is a new creature, actually. I can’t remember what ever came of that. Was it a hoax? Was it a viral ad campaign for some movie? Were all the rumors just speculation?
I don’t have the answers, but I’m intrigued enough to follow what The Ampersand has to say.
I’m inclined to believe it’s not a sea monster at all, but some wacky experimental animal from Plum Island.

Zombie spiders

Do you need any more proof that spiders may be the most fantastic creatures ever? Now, scientist have found these spiders that “resurrect” after “drowning.”

Click for link.

Hooray for the undead spiders!

Mummy Kitty

The pic may be too graphic for some cat lovers, so I chose not to post it, but it’s a very interesting article linked here.
I never heard of this before, but apparently in old England cats were put into building walls as a sort of good luck charm to ward off evil. Sounds a bit twisted, if you ask me. Heck, it sounds a bit twisted even if you don’t ask me. What the freak was wrong with those wackos in historic times?

Cold, dead, stupid

This is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. Air-conditioned coffins?
Clicky.

Then again, while you may never experience the benefit of sleeping in an air-conditioned coffin because, well, you’d be dead; I may have a use for one of these.

Here lies So-and-so. At least he’s comfortable.
