Knitted Giant Squid Baby Hat Instructions

Because hey, who doesn't want their baby to look as if it's being devoured by one of the Elder Gods, eh?

Note: the Giant Squid is a blogger! Who knew?

I, my Semitic friend, am a GIANT SQUID. Archteuthis archteuthis. The terrible kraken of the deep. And my axons are as thick around as the tip of one of my tentacles, or as thick perhaps as your much-vaunted opposable thumb.

Welcome to the Blogroll: Project Opus

A friend of mine is involved in this website, Project Opus, which connects independent musicians and fans. I'm not the world's greatest music fan, it must be said, having been traumatized by a polka trio when I was a small child, but I'm all for supporting things that support people who need supporting (is there a Bras for the Homeless organization out there somewhere?) so I'm all over this.

Piper goes up uncontrolled pipeline!

"Our best bet was to use mineral oil, lube her up as best we could, and then try to pop her head out."

No, seriously. This is a legitimate news story!

"She was hyperventilating. Obviously, we didn't how long she'd been in the pipe," said Fulbright. "The best we could estimate, she'd been in there two hours. Our best bet was to use mineral oil, lube her up as best we could, and then try to pop her head out. Fortunately, that's what occurred."

Meanwhile, in San Salvador, authorities at La Esperanza Prison caught Lidia Alvarado, 44, trying to smuggle contraband in to her boyfriend. They found she was carrying some marijuana and a grenade … in her vagina.

Upon inspection cops found the 10-inch-long M-67 grenade to be "in working order."

Police have raised the security alert level at prisons all across the country. They suspect "the inmates are planning something."

Meanwhile in Texas, Piper is being held for 72 hours in the event someone claims her. If not, she'll be put up for adoption.

Both the grenade and the pipe were four inches wide.
