The guy that runs the Craine Prairie Resort here in Central Oregon is a hoot. There was a health advisory issued for his resort and the lake saying that because of the blue-green algae blooms in the water, it is unsafe for you to come into contact with the water. The owner of the resort really doesn’t see too much of a problem with it.

Fake or Photo?
A simple little quiz: Look at these 10 images, and guess which ones were computer generated, and which ones were taken with a camera.
Cats Are Stupid
Cat climbs up tree. Cat can’t get down. Cat is adored enough to have somebody climb up tree to try to shake it down. Cat falls out of tree. Cat gets scared. Cat sprints up another tree. Link via b3ta.
Rock Art
I mentioned some tool typewriter art before, but this rock art is pretty damn cool, too.
Superman Festival Human Zoo
Like a Star Trek convention, a Superman festival brings out the weirdest folks.
Colin Powell a member of the Village People?
I have to say that when Barney sent me this, and I first read it, I said to my self “Am I really reading this on CNN and not The Onion?” Needless to say, I never thought I’d see the day when high-ranking U.S. officials dress up and sing a version of “YMCA”. There’s even a video of the event, if you subscribe to CNN’s Premium Content (which I don’t — does anybody here?).
Happy 4th of July
Have some fun with some fireworks — the virtual kind. Please don’t be one of those bastards that are trying to upstage the fireworks show on the Butte and keep me up all night. Some of us have to work tomorrow — and today for that matter — and if you wake up me or my 11-month-old or my 4-year-old, there’s going to be an ass-kicking coming somebody’s way.
“Stop beating up your women because you can’t find a job.”
Harsh words directed at blacks from Bill Cosby. This was after he lambasted blacks last month.
What Bill said was harsh, but he’s absolutely right: No matter if you black, white, purple, or whatever, you can’t keep blaming your problems on somebody else keeping you down. Ninety-percent of the time, the problem is not somebody else, but it’s you.
Fox News Porn
Fox News was doing a story on protecting kids from porn, and they clearly blurred the breasts in this image, but missed the full penetration.
Whoops.

$737,760
That’s how much Ken Jennings has won in 22-straight wins on Jeopardy. Needless to say, in his last win, he said that for the first time, he was in favor of the Bush tax cuts. The only record this guy hasn’t claimed is the single-day winnings: That record stands at $52,000.
