Sunday Silliness: I didn’t go to 8 years of evil medical school for nothing edition

by dr-exmedic

I always wanted to be an evil scientist growing up; although, technically, I’m a Psycho Vigilante.  Now, there’s a website that will help quell my unnatural urges.

Sunday Silliness: pithy sayings edition

by dr-exmedic

One man’s cougar is another man’s MILF.
I made that up, and Google tells me no one else has said it, so I’m going to copyright it right now.  You may use it, but must give me some credit.

Sunday Silliness: front page oops! edition

by dr-exmedic

While I’m sure that not everything on my site is spelled perfectly, I certainly don’t have anything major spelled wrong, do I?

Sunday Silliness: self-defense with a stick edition

Via William Gibson’s blog, a treat that he describes as “as solid an icon of Progress as we’ve seen this year:”  the cheeseburger in a can; I must admit I agree with this writer that this is “both the best and worst thing I’ve ever seen.”

Sunday Silliness: if your dad is a Mythbuster edition

by dr-exmedic

Strangely, not only did the Mythbusters not build the world’s first jet-powered beer cooler, the guy who did so managed to pull it off years before that show’s first episode–and, strangely, doesn’t even seem to be an American (which I thought was a prerequisite for something this overwrought).  How many dads wouldn’t want something this powerfully impractical?

Sunday Silliness: reach for a Swisher, not a sweet edition

The original place I found this, an eBay listing of all places, is here, at least for a while.  The title of this post is something that I [...]
