I remember being iffy on it when it first came out (soooo long ago now!), but Futurama really -is- a fun show. Here's hoping this 'feature-length DVD' is a good one!
My goodness, I honestly had no idea that some people actually get -fluff- in their navels - are entire -tufts- like that common?? I ... think I need to go lie down for a while ...
Aww, I -liked- the E.T. game, I thought it was good fun trying to find all the bits to make that telephone while avoiding the FBI guys and not falling into the same blasted hole 5,000 times. Until I started reading articles like this, I'd had no idea it was considered such a terrible game ... guess -everything- is liked by -somebody- ...
Heh, this reminds me of a time in high school (in Florida!), where I was "busted" because the shorts I was wearing ended about a centimeter above my knees ... I missed an entire afternoon's worth of classes as I sat in the dean's office because of it, so I can certainly sympathize with this guy - sometimes rules enforcement -can- get so stringent as to loose sight of what's actually -important- ...
I was about to be so very sad, if you'd left off the Monster Raving Loony Party from this list - they're so very delightful! =) I remember taking a trip around Kent a few years back, my host took us past what he claimed was the 'official headquarter pub of the MRL Party' - for reasons I no longer remember we didn't actually go in, but I was quite impressed when I peeked in and saw a large group of people sitting around a table in comical hats - oh, if only -I- could spend all my time hanging out in pubs doing 'political work' and wearing funny hats!
Ha, very cool =) If I had to be a corporate drone, I'd far rather do so at a company where people brought strange animals into the office - I used to have a hard enough time just finding a place that was willing to have a once-a-year "Bring Your Dog to Work" day ...
Hmm ... I love me some wacky novelty products, but somehow this one just isn't blowing my wig off ... it's not goofy enough to be "fun" in the same way that - say - bacon band-aids are ... and even if you were just going for a gross-out factor it doesn't seem quite enough to register more than a mild "ew" from most folks (let's be honest, I'd imagine most of us could come up with far more foul things to packag tea in, it this weren't a family blog) ... much as I delight in weird internet merchandise, even I would feel like rather a schmoe to be standing around steeping a cigarette ...
@Chad - You wonder why they didn't write it in French instead of English? Come on! Then how would the dogs know they couldn't hire that cab - who ever heard of a dog who could read French?
Aww, fireflies are among my favorite things ever. When even the blasted -bugs- can light up, you just -know- the universe has gotta be pretty darned magical. I'm also THRILLED to learn that synchronously-blinking fireflies have been found in the Congaree Swamp, that's near enough to me that I'll -have- to make a trip out there this summer.
@Tara - I'm with you, those things disturb me! I always want to imagine that they're dancing and waving about with glee, but I can't ever seem to shake the impression that they're -really- writhing in agony ... *shudder*
Neat site! Heh, the perpetual motion part makes me think of that Homer Simpson quote - "This perpetual motion machine she made is a joke: It just keeps going faster and faster. Lisa, get in here! In this house, we obey the laws of THERMODYNAMICS!"
Aww, what a most welcome "good news" story, I wouldn't have expected something like that could happen outside of cartoons =) Though I do hope somebody warns that kid that she's just used up her entire lifetime supply of luck ...
Based on the full-body pictures on the linked site, cassowaries look somewhat like walking ottomans to me (making that mid-air action shot all the more glorious) ... death by angry ottoman has just GOT to be one of the most embarrassing ways to go, ever ...
That's just silly =P
I only wish -I- were bioluminescent, too!
