Hungarian artist Géza Szöllősi is someone I’d like to meet, if only to ask, “What the hell’s wrong with you?”

Here’s a guy sitting around surfing the internet on taxidermy and a lightbulb goes off in his head. “Hey guys! Check it out! I’m gonna put a basketball bladder into a cow’s head!” and all his buddies snort Dreher’s beer out of their noses  and spill their tallboys onto their laps to give him an enthusiastic thumbs up.

Speaking of spilling tallboys, let’s give a big thumbs up to The Blogmocracy and Diary of Daedalus on The Overnight Open Thread.

As explained earlier on this post by Coldwarrior, tonight the moon is at Perigree, and happens to be a full moon as well.

In the past 20 years, this is the closest the moon has been to the earth since

*gets out calculator, inputs mass, speed, orbital diaphonistics, trunculates spatial trig functions, opens enhanced trepanation protocol, combines the Farley model with coprolitical analysis, adds algebra*

um, last night. Whew. We’re still alive, so now we can all sit back and enjoy The Overnight Open Thread.

Before exposure.


After exposure.

This is what the alarmist media would have you believe. Any questions? Yes? Then check this out.  And this. Oh, yeah, and check out Page 27 of this.

I don’t mean to suggest that the situation at Japan’s Fukushima plant isn’t serious, but I do mean to suggest that the U.S. media’s fear mongering is way out of proportion to the actual danger.

Besides, tomorrow night’s “MegaMoon” is going to cause mass destruction,  stars to collide, and all beer to go flat before it comes crashing down into Lake Erie, so this may be the final Overnight Open Thread.
