Happy Towel Day

Today is Towel Day, where geeks like me carry a towel with them in remembrance of author Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchiker's Guide The The Galaxy book series.

I accidentally left my towel sitting on the dresser at home, but I'll make up for it by posting one of my favorite lines from the Guide:

"One of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it."

He was brilliant, he was funny as hell, and he left us way too soon.

Create Your Own Star Trek Episode

Here's a handy flowchart you can use to easily create your own Star Trek episode (click to enlarge):

 

That's hilarious, and so true.  Kudos to the creator!

Michelle Obama: Heghjaj Harbe'wI'pu'

This was too funny not to post.

 

I guess you could say "resistance is futile".

Hat tip to Hammer.

P.S. The Klingon in the title means "I have never been proud of my country".

Cat Shit One? (Japanese People Are Crazy)

This is a trailer for a Japanese animated movie called Cat Shit One... Yes, that's the real title.  I'm assuming it sounded really badass in Japanese. 

Okay.. I'm confused.  Part of me is thinking "wow, that was actually kinda cool", but the other part of me is thinking "Cute bunny snipers? WTF? I want no part of this Japanese insanity".

UPDATE: I think I might have figured this out somewhat.  Why make the movie with bunnies and muslim-looking camels?  Because political correctness would make doing it with people a real hassle.  This way the filmakers can say "What do you mean you are offended?  Are you a camel?"

The Imperial March Played On A Tesla Coil... WTF?

Hat tip to Geekologie.

Fanboy Bedroom

The only female who's ever been in that bedroom is probably his mother, when she vacuums. 

Star Trek As "The Love Boat"

Brilliant!

I'd give a link to the website I found this on, but he's a big-time Obamaniac and would probably get all wound up about it.  Too bad.  He's got a lot of cool geek stuff over there, and I always prefer to give credit where credit is due.
