The story of Diego Garcia is shocking, almost incredible.
Diego Garcia is one of the biggest American bases in the world. It was not always so. During the 1960s, in high secrecy, the Labour government of Harold Wilson conspired with two American administrations to "sweep" and "sanitise" the islands of 2,000 inhabitants using a combination of fictions, lies and intimidation. more inside

Conceal partial baldness! Why have I not heard of US patent no. 4,022, 227 earlier? I'm looking at you, Mr Smart-Aleck Internet! Pictures here.

"I enclose two small deposits , selected with great care from my cats litter tray, as an expression of my utter and complete contempt for both you, and your pointless company. I sincerely hope that they have not become dessicated during transit - they were satisfyingly moist at the time of posting, and I would feel considerable disappointment if you did not experience both their rich aroma and delicate texture."

Curious George: Yellow ribbon stickers. In recent weeks I've seen an explosion of yellow ribbon vehicle stickers that look exactly like the sample on the left. The funny thing is that they're not on sedans -- 98% of the ones I see here in Austin are on big pickups and SUVs (many of them with GW04 decals). No sedans are sporting them. What's the story behind this sticker? Is this purely an impulse item at Wal-Mart? Or is it being mailed out to GOP supporters to help sway the vote?

Serious George. Some advice for me, for my cousin. He's 15, immature, and suffers from serious self-confidence and self-esteem issues. To make up for it he lies constantly, exaggerates everything to make him seem 'cool', and is an all-around shit. But now he took a loaded gun to school, got expelled, and my uncle and aunt are about to send him off to a teen boot camp. How can I help him? more inside

The a priori presumption of the continuity of a motorcycle from second to second - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, by Robert M. Pirsig. Ever read it? Brilliant novel, structurally & otherwise. I was wondering the other day, has anyone attempted to make a screenplay based on it? That would be impossible, I mused, beginning to sketch a treatment on my trusty legal pad. I gave up shortly thereafter. Quite by chance, I discovered these photos from Pirsig's 1968 road trip that inspired the novel. more inside

And now, an annoucement from the urinal... yep, you heard that right. Some dude with *i think* too much time in his hands, has just come up with a brand new way to disturb men's already semi-traumatic pissing in Urinals experience. (Viagra is gonna have a Ball with this)
