Death Star over San Fransisco

I'm away, back home, and away again quite a bit this summer, so blogging is taking a bit of a break.
But I love this!

Jesus and the dinosaurs

Thanks to Dan Kimball for posting this.

We laughed. We nearly cried. We printed it out and stuck it on the wall.

I'm really not sure what to make of it. I think it could be subtitled, "where fundamentalism meets paleontology". But I'm not really sure.

Dan wonders whether this was truly from a Christian children's colouring book. I hope not...
I'm still confused...

You could also see Dinosaur Comics!

A spam a day

We occasionally have a bit of a chuckle at the subject lines of spam emails that we receive. So imagine our joy today when Tom discovered aspamaday. Özi is a comic artist in Bonn who turns these weird and often not so wonderful one liners into cartoons.

We particularly enjoyed get a monstrous sized pecker now

In similar vein, you could also check out spamusement or spam one liners

This article caused much mirth in the CYO office today, especially;

Unphotogenic

Research by Canon (UK) reveals that 86% of Brits believe they're unphotogenic. The report goes into greater detail about our greatest worries (stomachs and chins, apparently) and the various ways in which we try to look our best, even resorting to re-touching.

Of course, I refute these findings absolutely and present my Facebook profile picture in evidence.

Nice cup of tea and a sit down

Random link of the day. Take a tea break and read all about the joys of taking, well... a tea break. With biscuits. Or cake.

Crumbs... The site authors (Nicey and Wifey) have even published a book on the subject!
