Nearly a month since the Geek last Dumped, but I've been saving up some goodies for you all.

Some unusual headlines

I figured I would take a slight change of pace, and poke some fun at some of the funny news stories I've seen links to lately. Quotes after the fold.

Lucky number 13... Maybe I should have done this on the 1st. Or I could have waited a few days until my birthday... <cough>.

April Fools' Day!

Today is April Fools' Day, and the tradition is to play pranks and jokes. Instead of coming up with my own prank, which I know will never compare well to that of others, I figured I would just look closely at such articles instead.

Pink Floyd gives us another mystery, Acme Co., the "I Am Rich" iPhone app, the worst novel ever, rocket mail, and Miss Russian Army

Today, we examine the Russian Army's beauty pageant, Atlanta Nights, I Am Rich, the Acme Corporation, the Publius Enigma, and sending mail by rocket.

RAS Syndrome, Hitler's beetle, cat organ, dead inventors, Hoxha the crazy Albanian, Oolong the rabbit, and Plato's cave

Today, we will examine the nutty WWII leader of Albania, Plato's famous "allegory of the cave", Oolong the pancake bunny, a list of inventors killed by their own inventions, a diabolical musical instrument, Anophthalmus hitleri, and RAS syndrome.

Today, I went with a pure WTF theme, images after the fold.

Extreme ironing, "republican marraige", The craziest British Commando ever, legally haunted by ghosts, and vagina dentata

Today's post examines French Revolutionary executions, Jack Churchill, extreme ironing, Stambovsky v. Ackley, and the terrifying concept of a vagina with teeth.

Who likes Minecraft? Everyone!!! So today is a Minecraft video extravaganza.

GeekDump: new feature

Yet another result of what I felt was me raving without anyone listening, I've decided that my blog would be a great place to linkdump some of the cool videos, images, and links that I thought were funny or cool. Most likely, it's going to be heavily weighted toward video games, since that makes up the majority of my dorkiness sphere, but certainly not exclusive. If you're not interested in this kind of subject matter, since I figure that somebody interested in Wikipedia is more likely to be an intellectual geek (math, science, etc.) rather than a more mainstream geek (vidjagames, anime, comics, etc.), simply avoid the posts labelled thusly and you will be fine.

Extra post: Snyder v. Phelps

This post isn't so much about how amusing an article as it is to discuss the importance of a current Supreme Court Case, one which I have some strong opinions about.
