Weekly Whimsy

By tigtog on June 29, 2011

This week’s whimsy is brought to you by something you could do for AIDS charities in September – dress as Freddie For A Day.

Royal Freddie (see below) might be a little bit difficult to manouvre in. Batwing Freddie outfit would be stupendous, but just a moustache would do.

Please share any bits and pieces you have come across recently that have surprised, delighted, intrigued or otherwise positively engaged you.

NB: the weekly whimsy thread is a stoush-free zone

No more Oxford comma?

WTFF?

Man, that pisses me off. Since when has effortlessly resolving ambiguity been a bad thing? GAAAH!

Oh well, I’m going to calm down by listening to some Simon and Garfunkel and Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel records.

Not sure if this belongs to the Neaderthal thread, Saturday Salon or here. Art of trolling: Gimmi Fuel, Gimmi Fire.

I’m sorry if any USians are reading this, but honestly, some real US events are wackier than anything I can dream up.

via Pharyngula: Richard Wiseman, a psychologist, has written a book debunking paranormal phenomena. Now read on…

The book has done well in the UK and has been bought by publishers in lots of other countries. However, the major American publishers were reluctant to support a skeptical book, with some suggesting that I re-write it to suggest that ghosts were real and psychic powers actually existed!…

…WHAT!?!
