Psycho Kids in Asia

Recently we reported on a kid who threatened his parents with a knife after they unplugged his video game. Well, coming between a teenager and her cell phone can be just as deadly.

The terrified mother locked herself in the bedroom and police arrived at the scene on Saturday to see the girl in a frenzy, hacking at the door with the knife.

I can't think of a funny post-script.

Who says Richard Hoagland is a Loony Toon Froot Loop? Anyone can plainly see that this rock on Mars is really a stove! And this bag or whatever is actually a Martian Bunny. A conspiracy at NASA! And clearly this thermograph is a cathedral from an ancient alien city.. And this one is a power plant.. And this blurry super-distorted jpeg is obviously a "machine fitting".. And this man is a total screwjob.. And these seed capsules are actually alien skulls.. And this rock is obviously a bowl.. (TPCQ: "And we are back with more of People Who Look Like Things.")

Now this Phil Plait character -- he's the nutcase. Trying to convince us that Lenin appeared on his shower curtain. Gimme a break -- that's obviously Robert McNamara!

Speaking of old-school rap, three cheers for DreamChimney for hosting several videos from Yo! MTV Raps, back when MTV played decent rap tracks instead of the nonstop blingbling gangsta wannabe crapola.

Today I'm listening to: Madame Mercury! (Huzzah for women DJs.)
