So, I guess this makes it official: tribbles are a meme. First there was the immortal Star Trek episode (and I’m sorry, but there was only one Star Trek) The Trouble With Tribbles. Then there was the immortal Internet sensation LolTrek. Now, renowned Gothic humourist and illustrator Edward Gorey brings us The Gorey Trouble with Tribbles, as channeled by Shaenon.
Well, they’re a helluva lot more intellectual than lolcats, it must be said.

Yes, as with all news coming out of China, it seems that the news the baiji, or Yangtze River, dolphin was extinct is highly unreliable. Yes, these rumours of its death are greatly exaggerated.
…a local businessman in Tongling City in east China’s Anhui Province filmed “a big white animal” with his digital camera on August 19. The footage was later confirmed to be the Baiji by Prof. Wang Ding, a leading scientist in Baiji study at the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Still, as the YouTube commenter says, I’ll bet five bucks it’ll be on a restaurant platter in Beijing two weeks.

I’m kind of disappointed I’m not acid. After explaining some of the things I think and see to some of my druggier friends, I was quite firmly told that I didn’t need to try acid: there was nothing it could show me that I wasn’t already seeing.
You mean you don’t see that?
