Cryptomundo is reporting on some new footage of something big, dark, and moving against the wind in Loch Ness. View the video here. Due to the orientation and nature of the lake- long and skinny- Loch Ness can develop a current that runs counter to the wind. Often, semi-submerged logs can be seen moving against [...]
Hubpages runs probably the most ludicrous computer comparison ever, between a 1986 Mac Plus and a 2007 AMD Dual Core PC. And the Mac beats the new machine!

District Attorney Arthur Branch…uh, I mean Fred Thompson has formed one of those mythical exploratory committee on a possible presidential bid. Which means he will almost certainly run, since I can’t remember an exploratory committee that ever said, “sorry boss, you suck.” Did you know Thompson was a Senator before turning to acting? Wacky.

According to Venezuelan gov’t sources, CNN has [...]

I’m sure any resemblance to any products recently launched by competitors is purely coincidence (*cough* ripoff!). I’m also pleased there’s now something cripplingly expensive for me to spill coffee on. UPDATE: [...]
