Faceless terrorists drive taxi cabs in the daytime and kill at night
The Raw Story | GOP Senator Burns: ‘Faceless’ terrorists ‘drive taxi cabs in the daytime and kill at night’
I don’t know. If I got into a cab and the driver had no face, that would certainly terrorize me, at least until I got another cab. I suppose I’m a facist.
But as for the impliction [...]
Frank Lloyd Wright in Half Life 2
YouTube - Frank Lloyd Wright in Half Life 2 (via boingboing.net)
Since I was just there a month ago, I can attest that this is a very accurate reconstruction of Falling Water. The only thing it’s missing are the creepy groundsmen clones with Prince Valiant haircuts and the women at the information desk who make you [...]

Which reminds me of [...]
Evangelist drowns trying to walk on water
WorldNetDaily: Evangelist drowns trying to walk on water
I don’t know if this story is true or just fanciful on the part of some writer (note the WND site). The fact that the faithful man got as far as his waist and didn’t notice he wasn’t walking on water yet is telling. Did he think the [...]
