Easter specials

Aren't TV holiday specials awesome? They always have a commercial basis and tread lightly to to add in some sort of religious or moral lesson without actually taking a stance on anything. They're kinda like the elevator music of TV since it's non-offensive, good for setting a mood but whole-heartedly non-committal.

I found two classic Easter special clips; first off we have A Family Circus Easter and secondly the Heathcliff story of the first Easter egg. Both tell of the importance of finding Easter eggs. A value that is lost on many. Happy Easter!

Let's do the time warp again!

Check out this link for the Time Travel cheat sheet. I saw it posted on Gizmodo and had to share it because it's something I've often thought about. If you went back in time and just used the basic knowledge you had then you could take credit for inventing all sorts of crap! You'd be the world's smartest person without any of the pesky schooling or years of research to come up with one remarkable find.

It's got all the basic knowledge you need to be king of the world when you go back in time and leap-frog other people's intelligence to become an Einstein in your own right.

It reminded me of this Ben Stiller Show clip that shows what would actually happen if most people went back in time. Enjoy!

Old art


Here's a sketch I did on my computer years ago but I figured I'd post it.

Pears, the disappointing fruit


I had a pear yesterday and was disappointed by it. In fact, pears are always a let down. I had let this particular pear sit for a few days and it seemed perfectly ripe, but it was anything but. Come to think of it, even when pears are ripe they're not very good, they're too wet and kinda crappy.

Word to the wise, an apple a day keeps the doctor away but a pear will just piss you off!
