MY Ady Gil, illegal video games, the famous spilled coffee lawsuit, Operation Cottage, pigeon-guided missile, the Japanese Schindler's list, and bottlenecks in human history

Today, my last day in uniform, we will examine a few articles before I close up my office for good. Since my home computer is on the fritz, it might be a while before I can make another post, hopefully no more than a week. Today's articles include Project Pigeon, Chiune Sugihara, the Toba Event compared to flood myths and proto-human language, the WWII landing against a nonexistent enemy force, Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants, Greek Law 3037/2002, and MY Ady Gil.

War of the Golden Stool, the first email spammer, doord, Mariner 1, Boston Corbett, a beach made of glass, and Endal the super dog

After a week of rough times, dear constant reader, I have finally gotten my final date of wearing the uniform, which will be May 20th. Expect lean posting to continue as I finish my days as and active-duty Marine.

Today, we will examine why we should all hate Gary Thuerk, the Glass Beach at Fort Bragg, a NASA disaster caused by a missing hyphen, a lexicographic typo that appeared in Webster's, a war between the British and the Ashantis over a stool, and the crazy life of the man who killed a presidential assassin.

Caganer, exploding head syndrome, American MiGs, the Boston Molasses Disaster, and rock-paper-scissors lizards

Today we will look at American airmen who pilots Soviet aircraft, the Great Molasses Flood, a Catalan tradition of shitting on the nativity, and exploding head syndrome.

Chubby Bunny, turkey bowling, safety coffins, sexsomnia, the Cornfield Bomber, Nazi Christmas, and North Korean haircuts

Today's post will examine the celebration of Christmas in Nazi Germany, having sex whilst asleep, the F-106 that landed without a pilot, the games of chubby bunny and turkey bowling, and coffins that protect against being buried alive.

A copycat!!!

If you are reading this, you're probably a geek like me. And if you are a geek, then you're probably familiar with Something Awful. Well, it turns out that they did something similar to what I do here... a writer compiled the best entries from a forum thread titled "The Least Essential Wikipedia Pages". Though I try not to be critical (and indeed, avoid negativity), they have highlighted some interesting articles.

Glowing 'shrooms, royal alms, and a town destroyed in the worst landslide in U.S. history

Today's post examines the former town of Thistle, the obscure ceremony of giving Royal Maundy, and foxfire.

The legislation of fruit, Boner Church, Xenu, and bazooka Vespa

Well, that was quite a snowstorm for North Carolina. Gosh, I really don't miss brushing ice off of my car and shovelling my driveway. Anyway, we should have some fun today: armed scooters, Scientology, a church that worships the phallus, and a Supreme Court case about tomatoes.

First entries: bacon, extra fingers, towels, and popes

So, for my inaugural entries, I picked some of the coolest I've seen over the years. "Cool" is a definition within the eye of the beholder, of course. What interests me might not interest you, but there should be a good range. Different strokes for different folks, right?
