126,000 views? But then, it’s apparently been kicking around since the end of June. How did I miss this?
Update: I didn’t. Now I remember seeing it ages ago. It must have been when I was having trouble posting, otherwise I’d have grabbed it. But opening weekend is as good a time as any to put it out there, eh?
Does Google know their shit or what? These guys have demographics down to a scary science.
Here is their engineer-enticing display from a recent Star Trek convention.
Google duplicated the bridge of the fictional Starship Enterprise and embarked on a mission in Las Vegas to recruit engineers, at a gathering of cultish Star Trek devotees.
More than 10,000 fans of the Star Trek franchise that began with a television series debut in September of 1966 were expected by organisers to make pilgrimages to the official annual convention at the Las Vegas Hilton.
Oh yeah, this probably marks the only opportunity these guys will ever have to get inside a Hilton.
BoingBoing‘s caught on, and featured some of the YouTube videos yesterday. Unfortunately, someone’s suggested they check out his blog. It’s a good blog, don’t get me wrong. But it hasn’t been updated since April 25th, which a quick glance would show. It’s still on my blogroll, but my trigger finger’s getting itchy.
This ep is a wee bit inside; it is quite possible there are Canadians who don’t know there is no cod fishery in Saskatchewan. Yep, it’s true; the Saskatchewan cod has been gone for some time.
At last, irrefutable proof that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is, in fact, real. Here is a photo from the United States Air Force, and if you don’t like it you can bitch to Rumsfeld. or BoingBoing, that’s where I saw it.
(It also makes a nice replacement for the FSM image that Photobucket took down. Apparently there was one too many noodly appendages in the pic)
Now 25% more motherfucking!

Yes, today Snakes on a Plane opened, to predictably mixed reviews, and to celebrate this turning point in cinematic history, an apparent basement-dwelling nerdicon has chosen to commemorate this by creating Snakes on a Paper Plane.
It’s got a full-sized pattern so you can print out snakes in glorious colour, plus all the instructions on folding said paper plane, for those kids who actually paid attention in class instead of learning this or making necklaces out of staples like everybody else.
Seriously, how can you not???
It’s been worshipped, parodied, analyzed and merchandised months before its release, and now the B-movie turned Internet phenomenon “Snakes on a Plane” is finally here. Will it live up to the anticipation? Who knows, but with all the genuinely scary news about flying lately, we’re looking forward to some good, cheesy thrills. To celebrate, we’re giving you your own plane — complete with snakes. Unleash your inner Samuel L. Jackson and enjoy.
