Calm down. It's not about our government. It's Austria's. I read this while browsing through Yahoo:
"VIENNA, Austria - Ever whacked your thumb with a hammer, or wrenched your back after lifting a heavy box, and blamed the full moon? It's a popular notion, but there's no cosmic connection, Austrian government researchers said Tuesday.Robert Seeberger, a physicist and astronomer at the Ministry of Economic Affairs, said a team of experts analyzed 500,000 industrial accidents in Austria between 2000 and 2004 and found no link to lunar activity."The full moon does not unfavorably affect the likelihood of an accident," Seeberger said."
Well.. DUH! I could've told you that! Jeez, and here I thought the Philippine Government had ludicrous spending habits. Oi.
We all know Uncle Ben's greatest advice to young Peter Parker: "With great power comes great responsibility." I've always thought of myself as a very moral person. I liken myself to Hiro Nakamura, an otaku with a heart of gold, trying to be like the heroes I've grown up reading. Like Hiro, I'm pretty sure if I had "great power" I would use it for good.
So if I'm such a goody-goody kid, why won't God grant me powers to help save the world? Well, a few things come to mind, most of which dealing with my short temper and raging hormones. I've come up with a list of superpowers I'd like to have, and the reason why I probably don't deserve them.
Harry Potter: Magic Sure, I'll probably start my own order to fight Lord Voldemort but the only real spell I'll ever learn is "Brassiereus Disintengratia."
Magneto: Master of Magnetism In a severe case of road rage, I would have flung half the cars on EDSA into the Pasig River. Star Wars: The Force With my greed, I will surely become a Sith Lord, but instead of plotting to take over the Galactic Republic, I'll probably be too preoccupied using the Jedi Mind Trick to get free meals and getting Supermodels to sleep with me. Hey, it only works on the weak-minded. (Ba-da-bum-psh!) Fullmetal Alchemist: Human Transmutation In a heated debate, I would have transmuted my opponent's mouth with his asshole within the first few minutes.
Superman: Super Everything The obvious thing for any guy with Superman's powers is to look through women's clothing with his X-ray vision. But for the sake of creativity, I would probably fly illegally parked cars on top of buildings or maybe flip them over just to piss off the drivers.
Spider-man: Does Everything a Spider Can Two words: ultimate paparazzo. Who cares about taking pics of myself fighting crime? The real money is getting the juiciest shots of those crazy celebrities! Death Note: The Power to Kill Anyone I would probably be the most unfair Grim Reaper out there. That guy that got the girl I like? Death by hamster bites. Corrupt Political Family? One way trip to the Bermuda Triangle. That girl who turned me down and humiliated me? Death by contaminated tampon. Kris Aquino and Ruffa Gutierrez? That's easy. Death by every STD known to man.
Hiro Nakamura: Time & Space Manipulation You heard of the insult, "fuck you and your ancestors?" It can happen.
That's all I can think of at the moment. What about you? What superpower would you most likely abuse? [Image taken from: http://amtog.blogs.ie/2007/04/17/]
Other People with My Face Version 2: Venom Edition
Couldn't resist to try another (more "expressive") pic. Only one hottie this time, Nakama Yukie-san, the actress who plays Kumiko in the Live-action Gokusen series. It also says I look like Venom! Whoo hoo! (If you really want to burst my bubble, you can say I look like Eric Forman sans the goofy 70s hairstyle.)
Not only that, it also says I look like a serial killer, an award-winning director, and a philosopher. Hmm, interesting combination. Maybe soon I'll make a pretentious film about all the people I'll kill.
Now there's an idea...
P.S. For all you who are gullible enough to believe everything written on the Internet, that was a bloody joke.
I was going through my morning stroll around the interweb when I chanced upon an article titled 10 Things You Never Knew About SEX. Alright, alright, stop the snickering. It's obvious why I was drawn to the headline. But I'm not here to broadcast my overly curious (and repressed) mind.
What really got my attention was number 6, which states: "Homosexuality is not unique to humans. Many species have been observed engaging in homosexual activity, and in fact male bats have the highest rate of homosexuality of all mammals."
Then it hit me (no, I'm not coming out of the closet either, wise ass), all the rumors were apparently true. It all makes sense now! I'll never look at this picture the same way again:
[Click the image for the full strip.] Statistics was invented for the betterment of mankind. At least that's what it says on paper. But in reality, it made us a bunch of paranoid, indecisive, whiny, oftentimes pretentious assholes waving statistical figures trying to make ourselves look more intelligent.
Statistics is one of the prime examples of humankind's insatiable appetite to give order to chaos. We like to think that there's a pattern for everything. Sure, it helps us make some sense of the world but we have to keep in mind, statistics ≠ facts. If we take all these studies as fact, then we'll end up like poor little Katie from Count Your Sheep. If anything, there should just be one statistic: Everything in Moderation, baby. (I'm not entirely sure that made any sense.)
Any old schmoe can remember G.I. Joe, The Transformers or even Thundercats, but it takes a true geek to remember (and post) obscure 1980s cartoon intros on YouTube. (It takes an even bigger geek to actually find them and repost them on his blog and pretend it's therapeutic.)
It's been a while since I made a worthwhile post. Come to think of it, I've never made a worthwhile post since I started this blog. Anyway, in most life crises (quarter-life, mid-life or end-of-life), people want to recapture their youth by buying grotesquely expensive stuff and/or dressing/acting 10 years younger and/or other things not deemed normal by most secure people of society.
...
Hell, I've tried everything else, let's give this regression thing a shot.
So sit back and enjoy as I attempt to avert this self-induced life crisis with a painfully cheesy nostalgic trip down memory lane. Brought to us by the lovely people of YouTube. And by the letter L. For Loser.
W-to-tha-izzon't Anyone think of tha Veggies?! Savages! Nizzy I D-to-tha-izzon't have anyth'n against vegetarizzles or being vegan (veganism?), I jizzust don't like how mizzost of tizzy makes you feel guilty `bout ballin' thizzay synthetic mizzle you bought from McDo. I git enough guilt trips frizzay church, okay sho nuff. Bizzy off!
Now `bout tha comic, Sinfestis anotha webcomic I frequent messin' mah ridin' stroll around tha InterWeb . Aint no L-I-M-I-to-tha-T. Tatsuya Ishida's art is chillin' n his wit is downright blasphemous. Why, you ask? He likes ta poke fun at religion every now n tizzy. You have ta if yo main brotha include God n tha Devil (and tha Dragon . Drop it like its hot. East Side represent!). It's not fo` tha easily offended (read cuz its a pimp thang: stuck-up Opus Dei types) cuz its a doggy dog world. But amidst tha dizzle n pussy (and religion) jokes, he manages ta squeeze in profound ones like this strip, which, coincidentally, is one of mah favorizzles. Like Count yo Sheep, I suggest you go through tha archives aww nah. The God n Devil fanboy strips is not ta be missed. Know what im sayin?!
To see how you would sound as a Hip-Hop American, head over to Gizoogle.com, ya digg, foo? Props to my bee-yotch Pao-zizzle for sending me this dope link.
