Weird/funny things you've come across

[ShadowFox]

Post somethings that are weird, funny, bizarre, etc.

I have a few: Crackles Cereal
With (and this is actually the name of the character, no joke.) Crackle the squirrel. Just looking at that squirrel makes me think of a certain substance illegal in the U.S.

Also, though i don't remember where on the web, i've come across a group called "Anarchists united". Considering what anarchy means, i find this kind of silly.

So post what you got, and we'll see where it goes .

Cheese, pepperoni, salami, sausage, ham, green peppers, mushrooms, black olives, tomatoes, corn, apple slices, hot dog slices, onions, sweet potatos, and a crust filled with vanilla pudding and coated with frosting on one side and grape jam sprinkled with sugar on the other.

Finally this mess of a pie is covered in mayonnaise… digg in!

No, it's not silly at all. Anarchism is very much about being united.

But Crackles was rather interesting.

Fascinating. I'd be interested in trying it once, though.

Yeah, especially now that the price has dropped to 13,900w. I'd like to see that bald guy on the travel channel eat it. Look, there is the banner ad with a spider coming out of his mouth.

Anarchy: 1. Absence of any form of political authority. 2. Political disorder and confusion. 3. Absence of any cohesive principle, such as a common standard or purpose.

Wouldn't a group with a purpose or standard be somewhat against anarchy?

Not necessarily.

This is great:

I might watch it again later, actually.

Is it really a children's cartoon though? Who says so? I think it's just an artsy short film.

I tried to watch it online but it kept stopping at 4 minutes. I'd purchase a copy of I could find one. The stop animation was excellent. Apparently it's a series of short's.

The Story This film really doesn't have a plot–it is an extended series of scenes that illustrate the essence of Samuel Clemen's life with only a limited relationship to the events and chronology of his actual life. It is sort of a fantasy on Mark Twain. The film opens with a group of people, mostly African–Americans, on a hill side watching Halley's Comet pass overhead. Judge Clemens is called away for the birth of his son, Sam Clements. That much is sort of true. But following a brief comment by an elderly Clemens is a scene with Sam, and his friends Huck, Tom and Jim on a raft on the Mississippi, providing a "real–life" basis for Twain's most famous novels. A little later, when Clemens is living in Nevada, he and a friend participate in a jumping frog contest with Bret Harte, a "real–life" basis for Twain's first major story. Neither has any basis in reality. The lack of reality extends to the final scene, where Clemens dies in bed as once again Halley's Comet appears. After his death, his spirit appears and is called away by Tom and Huck to join them in a Heavenly world. Only loosely based on Clemens's life, the film rearranges events in ways that defy both history and logic. For example, the film shows Clemens working as a journalist in Nevada when he learns of the outbreak of the Civil War and then has him leave Nevada in order to fight for the Confederacy. In real life, Clemens went to Nevada after the war started, partly to get away from the war. Later in the film, Henry Huttleston Rogers warns Clemens that if he allows his (Clemens's) publishing company to publish Ulysses S. Grant's memoirs, he will go bankrupt. Clemens replies that the country owes the former Union commander such a debt of gratitude that going bankrupt would be a small price to pay. In reality, Clemens's company did publish Grant's memoirs--about eight years before Clemens met Rogers--and the venture was a huge success. Clemens's company did, in fact, eventually go bankrupt, but its failure had nothing to do with its publication of Grant's memoirs. Later still, the film has a scene set in Italy, where Clemens' wife, Livy, insists that he go to Oxford University to accept an honorary degree; shortly afterward, she dies. It is a very moving scene; however, Clemens was living in New York City when he received his invitation to go to Oxford in 1907. Livy had died in Italy three years earlier. Similar liberties with the facts of Clemens' life permeate the film, but Frederic March nevertheless provides a moving and convincing portrayal of Clemens. It includes some of his famous public sayings, often included in the numerous public appearances he made throughout the world. Actor Hal Holbrook later re-created Clemens' speaking tours with his own Mark Twain Tonight shows. One important fact depicted in the film is that he was born during an appearance of Halley's Comet in 1835 and died when it returned in 1910. (see Halley's Comet, 1835 entry.)
