Dickipedia

A great send up of Wikipedia biographies. This could have been straight out of South Park, but they would have called it Douche-ipedia, Dickipedia is the wiki of dicks. While consisting of only a handful of articles, they range across the political spectrum and even include the Pilgrims.

The Pilgrims had originally fled a volatile political environment in the East Midlands of England for the Netherlands. But once in the Netherlands, the Pilgrims’ level of dickishness was such that they couldn’t live even in the Netherlands. Many have asked, what kind of dick would find the Netherlands too intolerant or too constraining? The answer is the Pilgrims.


Of the current presidential candidates both Hillary and Giuliani have their own pages.

Over at Zaius Nation, the doctor has a post on the joys of snow and seasons. It seems he misses the boring mild weather of California.

You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Young Chimps beat College Students


Researchers that pitted young chimps against human college students in tests of short-term memory found that the young chimps scored better on the tests than the humans. This ability decreased as the chimps aged. The researchers speculate that the chimp's memory skills resembles a skill found in children, but which dissipates with age and that the development of language in humans supplanted this ability.

Of course a simpler theory is that its all due to alcohol consumption and sleep deprivation.
