Octopus vs Shark

After all this time you aught to know how to handicap this. Actually quite gruesome, in fact.

Another Windsor hits the headlines

   Honorary Lance Corporal William Windsor was
   stripped of his rank this week after attacking
   the arse of a military drummer. The regimental
   goat of the 1st Battalion Royal Welch regiment,
   otherwise known as “Billy”, refused to march

       Christina Aguilera needs charm school

   Christina Aguilera has always had a diva
   attitude – arriving hours late for everything,
   big demands, feuds with everyone from Mariah
   to Kelly Osbourne.

   Now with the release of her new album she\’s
   learned a new trick. During promo interviews
   she\’s refused to look at any journalist.
   Instead, the diva insists that the interview,
   for which she\’s usually two to four hours late,
   takes place in a dimly lit room, where she sits
   and stares in the other direction completely
   to the journalists while they ask, and she
   answers, questions.

I resisted posting this for a couple of days…a couple of days too long. In future I resolve never to hesistate posting something just because it’s:

A) stupid
B) probably fake
C) really, really stupid.

KnitiloidsTwo Squid-related posts in one day!!! Can you fucking stand it???

Pretty thrilling, eh?

From Knitie, via BoingBoing, comes news of these adorable knitting patterns. Craft your very own tentacled beauty from a vanished era; I prefer the longer, more squid-like version, but then I’m a size queen when it comes to Squid.

Hey, sometimes a Squid is just a Squid.

Every scary prehistoric beast should be made into a huggable toy, and I say it’s the nautiloid’s turn.

Their living relatives include the squid, the octopus, and the famous chambered nautilus.

fuddle duddle, the VIDEO!!!

One day in February, 1971: A great moment in Canadian history. Someone once said that in Pierre Elliott Trudeau Canada has at last produced a political leader worth of assassination, and love him or hate him you just have to agree. Watch the video and make up your own mind.

Thanks to Raj for grabbing and re-formatting, cropping, and uploading. God knows I’m far too lazy to do all that myself.

 

Plus bonus: The October Crisis, the Kidnapping of Pierre Laporte

This is so damn earnest, it just may be the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen.
What say you all?
