biggest catfish ever


Fishers in northern Thailand netted this huge catfish
in the Mekong River on May 1. Nearly nine feet long (2.7 meters) and as big as a grizzly bear, the behemoth tipped the scales at 646 pounds (293 kilograms).

how to disappear in the city


"City Hideout," from Dutch design studio OOOMS, is a portable temporary dwelling made to fit one seated adult. The collapsable metal box resembles the kind of streetside sheds that commonly house electrical devices such as streetlight controls, new-age parking meters, and small generators.



these things are cute

I fell into Lake Ontario

I recently joined a canoe club and started kayaking and paddling in a war canoe (war canoe is utter hell)
I'm not very good at either yet.
So i was using a kayak that had shitty steering, it would either be completely left or right, no middle, which sucked cuz i had to zig zag the entire time, i was to do 3 km, and i most of the way done and i got pretty close to some sailboats that were moored (parked? docked? whatever) and trying to steer the kayak hard to the right i fell right in.
refreshing.
i did about 2.75 km

book tag

what the hell is a book tag
oh well i'll play too

1. The number of books I have
i dunno, a lot, bookcases full, boxes in storage, i get stuff from the library (lie berry)

2. The book I’m currently reading
Edgar Allen Poe's Murders in the Rue Morgue, having read this many times i thought i'd read it again, this is certainly where sir arthur conan doyle got sherlock holmes from, there ar ea number of scenes stolen directly from this story and shaped into holmes,

3. Last book I bought
Hegemony or Survival America's Quest for Global Dominance (The American Empire Project) - Noam Chomsky


4. Last book I read

Hegemony or Survival America's Quest for Global Dominance (The American Empire Project) - Noam Chomsky




5. Five books that have meant a lot to me

The Jungle Book - Rudyard Kipling
simply awesome stories, i couldn't do these justice with a description

American Indian Myths and Legends by Richard Erdoes and Alfonso Ortiz
These aren't the "and this is how the procupine got it's quills" type of story, real folklore with the violence, sex, and humour you don't usually read in native myths and legends

Edgar Allen Poe - Complete works
One of the greatest writers ever, and by far my favourite poet

Carlos Castaneda The Teachings of don Juan
this book is freaky, anthropology student goes in search of a shaman to learn about peyote etc, the descriptions in this book are enough to get you high. I highly reccomend it.

Holy Grail Across the Atlantic - Michael Bradley
Some of the coolest and most interesting theories about the grail, early north american explorers, and archeology. Not sure if its all true but an amazing story nonetheless


i tag spock, cap'n kirk, bones, scotty, lt. uhura, and sulu, checkov, you're lucky, this time

nessie tooth hoax

no really? but that's impossible!!

According to a number of experts in Canada and the United Kingdom, Bill McDonald’s (a self proclaimed paranormal researcher) tooth is nothing more than an antler from a roe muntjac deer. It is not a tooth from the famed Loch Ness monster or a new species that McDonald was claiming it to be.



Gibbs Technologies has developed High Speed Amphibian (HSA) technology that could transform cars into amphibians. To showcase this new technology, Gibbs built the Aquada, an amphibian vehicle that debuted in late 2003
