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.

Scientists disprove my existence… dorks

Hmm. This is fishy. Inspired by the success of Twilight, I’m sure; physicists supposedly have proved that is impossible for vampires to exist.

Hel-looooo? Some of us prefer ketchup to you sour blood. Give it up, and go find a cure for cancer or something.

I found this awful anti-vambite bit at io9. Thanks for posting. Spread the word on these dorks so they can be the autumn’s Thanksgiving turkeys. I’m sure there are some vampires out there that celebrate it.

Eminent domain for bats

The bats won a battle, finally. Their home was destroyed, but at least the law was in their dugout fighting the good fight for them. A developer was obliged to build a new home for these rare brown long-eared bats if he wanted to demolish the home they were already living in.
But, dang, what about all the memories in their old home?

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.”

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?

Mysterious mystery

Here’s a really cool picture of a mysterious creature that comes from this linked article with not very much information.

A tree grows in Brook-lung

A tree. In a man’s lung. For reals!
Before clicking on this link, please be sure you want to see this. Imagine a seed germinating in the soft tissue inside your body. Roots, well, take root; feeding a sapling with moisture from your own lungs. Pine needles develop, and soon you have a TREE inside you!
We’ve all heard the old adage, “Don’t swallow watermelon seeds if you don’t want to grow a watermelon patch in your belly.” Now, we have evidence that it might be based on some kind of miracle-weirdness half-truth!

The cleanest ghost ever

Some 27 year old pansy got a fright from some random soap bubbles because he thinks it looks like the Scream mask.
I don’t know what’s more disturbing — the weird looking purple soap or the fact that The Sun is reporting on some dummy’s soapy ghost. Sud-den, I get it. Is the Sun for real? Why do they waste digital paper this way. The poor digital forests are getting cut down for idiot stories like this.

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.

Barry, the sea worm

Want to see something gross? Click this link. Eeeeeeeeeyyyyyeeeeeeew, AOL. Someone sent me this AOL article. AOL is gross, isn’t it? Oh, I guess this worm is too. Something about Barry terrorizing other aquatic life at a British aquarium.
