Why Do Dragons Horde Treasure?
While playing Dragon Age 2 on the PS3 this weekend I killed a few dragons and each of them had treasure for me to plunder. And suddenly it dawned on me. What is the point of this dragon treasure thing? Have you noticed this? In the fantasy genre dragons always have treasure. Why? What are they planning to spend it on? I've never seen a dragon wearing a Rolex or sporting a new Armani suit or driving a Ferrari ... and yet they collect gold and jewels as if their life depends on it. They live in a cave! It's not like they have to buy a house and pay bills. Surely dragons have as little a concept of wealth as the common fly ... it makes no sense. If anyone can justify this convention of the fantasy genre, I'd be happy to hear it.

Job Search Propaganda
Forget the images of prison brutality you've seen on TV or read about in newspapers or even heard from the prisoners themselves. According to the state of NSW in Australia, this is what it looks like in a prison so why not consider working for corrective services ... yeah right. There's something sinister in her eyes:
Officer: "You know, I could kill you in your sleep if I wanted to. That's it, keep smiling. We're just talking ,that's all." |

Japan's Nuclear Crisis is Our Nuclear Crisis
Watch this clip of Dr Caldicott as she explains the extent of the Nuclear Crisis in Japan and for the rest of the world. She also discusses Chenobyl and the use of uranium in Iraq's latest conflict. I know this blog is meant to be humorous but this shit is serious.

Easter Bunny Disorders
Autistic Bunny
Is not coming to your house ... or anyone else's house for that matter. She's too busy trying to crawl into a "furry space/time wormhole" to get her ears back after they were stolen by these older, much nastier, easter bunnies.
Depressed Bunny
Hates Easter. He just can't do it anymore. He doesn't know why but he just doesn't feel like it this year. Get your own eggs. Who cares anyway?
Bipolar Bunny
Is going through a manic phase and has been arrested for scaring children in photo shoots at local malls across the country. He's been sentenced to 3 yrs jail and full psychiatric evaluation.
Anxiety Disorder Bunny
Has had his worst fears realised. His therapist told him not to worry and that he was exaggerating but as seen here, he was right, the President is trying to eat him. He rates his current anxiety level as a 9/10 and fails to remember the techniques he has been working on. It's hard to remember when the President is biting down on your frontal earlobes.
Schizo Bunny
Wants you to know the Easter Bunny is dead. There's a new bunny in town. And yeah, he's coming to your house ... he's in your hallway right now. So you better get his eggs ready or else. He's hungry. And he didn't come here to F**K around. So hurry up. Get his eggs. NOW! That's better ... thankyou.
