ancient fossil shark filmed off Tokyo

Frilled Shark

This female frilled shark, a tattered and battered yet still magnificent and intimidating remnant of an ancient and presumed extinct species, surfaced near Tokyo yesterday. Unfortunately it died within minutes of its capture by workers from the Awashima Marine Park. Over 1.6 meters in length and of apparently advanced age, the shark is presumed to have been driven to the surface from its normal habitat between 600 and 1000 meters down by the mystery illness that ultimately proved fatal.

More information on the frilled shark is available here and here.

fart-proof panties

Fartypants, yoAlso excellent for birth control, as anyone who sees that you wear these horrific remedial incontinent-Grandma pants will cut (out) like the wind.

The Under-Ease pants have an in-built multi-layered, replaceable filter made of felt, charcoal and fibreglass wool.

Having recently returned from the Valley of the Shadow of Conservatism, I must take a moment to note for posterity that, no matter what the level of fine or otherwise dining one may be enjoying there, the main course is always accompanied by a hearty serving of boiled, frozen broccoli and cauliflower. Always. I believe this to be a subtle yet effective adaptation to the climate; a clever way of ensuring that Ontarians do not freeze in their sleep, as their beds will be cosily heated for hours from the pre-heated gaseous emissions resulting from the breakdown of said side-dish cruciferousness. Cruciferocity. Whatever; it’s nothing to do with Catholicism. There is obviously no market for these pants in Ontario, regardless of the religious demographics.

I’m wondering if, after a certain point of flatulence and resultant inflatuation while wearing these pants, one achieves the ability to fly, Hindenburg-style? I can just see currently-sexagenarian Richard Branson snarfing down some quick Taco Bell and attempting to set a new record for underwear-powered flight. And, of course, if this method of transportation catches on it could revolutionize the car and aerospace industries as well as meaningfully reduce global warming and cause the entire tax system to be re-evaluated. I forsee a boom in the legume and dried turkish apricot markets very soon.

Buy low, sell high.

Mad V: the message

Remember the Challenge? Here is the Message.

From the comments section:

I must admit. I’ve seen alot of pathetic movements come and go like flies on youtube, but this one, in some odd way, has wrapped me around it’s finger. Sitting here watching this video make it easy to agree with the message, but when you get up out of your chair, and walk outside, that’s when it really counts. This message is something to carry with you to the end of your days and possibly even then some.

Very well done, V. Very well done.
