383 - Furry

1. Obsession
If you don't know about furries from the numerous 'expose' type reports on them by your local broadcast affiliates or from other sources, good for you. Unfortunately, you probably do know what furries are. Here are some pics for you to tsk/laugh/eye-roll/ogle at. The furry webmaster here is pretty old school with the galleries though.

2. Fur 2.0
Did you know there was a furry 'wiki'? If you can answer yes to the previous question, click here. (Apologies to whomever I stole this photoshopped pic from.)

3. No accounting for taste...
Furry art. You know this stuff would fly off the shelves at those weird storefront shops that seem to only sell/host Magic: The Gathering.

4. Furry love?
You've seen these before. This one's furry heaven.

5. Trigger happy furries
This show seems to have been under-appreciated. You can watch a whole crapload on google video though.

382 - Crazy

1. Crazy religious
This is awesome. If you don’t believe it, I hope you don’t mind spending eternity in space-hell.

2. Crazy “verbal self-defense”
Why all the feudin’ and a fussin’? This site really goes deep with the crazy, so dig for it.

3. Crazy Ling’s contract hire cars
If I ever visit wherever Ling runs this place, I’m definitely renting a car from her. Who wouldn’t after checking this site out? It’s got something for everyone. Even for people who think Josef Stalin was a “kind and benign world leader.”

4. Crazy science
This is really another religious site but the science is unassailable!

5. Crazy awesome splash
I honestly haven’t been past the first page of this site but I can’t stop playing with it. Maybe you’ll get beyond the rad interface…

381 - Totally Rads

1. Radioactive Boyscout, indeed.
David Hahn is no longer an Eagle Scout but that hasn't affected his tenacious grip on his scouting glory days. When I first heard of him, I assumed he was a genius. Now, he just seems pathologically focused. Now, maybe he can sew a "Rap Sheet" badge right next to the "Nuclear Energy" one he earned as a kid.

2. Don't play with it...
This story is sad, but you have to wonder about people who would handle a luminescent powder. (Also, history.com's "this day in history" thing is pretty cool.

3. Tingling wrist?
This is not altogether unknown, but it's an interesting tidbit that many people are ignorant of.

4. Tingling Spidey radiation sense?
Now here's a watch that most people don't know about. It could save your life. For real! Think about it.

5. Idiot poisoning.
Here's a 'Darwin Awards' type story. Depending on your sense of humor, it's sad and interesting or funny and interesting. (I didn't link to the original source article because I think 'geeks with guns' is a funny site name.)

380 - Zombie

1. Zombie Movies
Zombies have become pretty popular in Hollywood in the last few years. Here's a rundown of some of the higher profile upcoming zombie movies. These are all mostly major studio releases, but for the independent film maker, it seems that the zombie film is a no-lose proposition. You'll almost definitely be able to sell your movie as a direct to DVD title, and zombie fans will watch pretty much anything, so it doesn't matter it your movie sucks.

2. Vegetarian Zombies
This is really kind of stupid. I'm not totally sure how a "pun" is defined, but I think this is pretty close, and I'm sure that puns aren't really funny. Still, I did chuckle a little bit under my breath.

3. An Everlasting Covenant
I guess this could be construed as sac religious. Or it might be a critique of organized Christianity. Or it might be a satire of a classic work of art. Or the guy might have jut thought it was a funny idea.

4. Heat Signature.
This video is kind of creepy, but you can tell it isn't real because everyone knows that zombies do not register as warm bodies on infrared cameras.

5. Army-men of the Dead
These might seem kind of cool, but I have to state clearly that I think $15.00 plus shipping is way too expensive for some stupid glow-in-the-dark zombie toys.
