An adult male chimpanzee has been captured on video cannibalizing an infant chimpanzee. The article from Newsweek claims “This behavior has never before been documented by scientists”, but that’s bullshit. I recall watching some nature special on TV years ago, in which a large male chimp grabbed a baby chimp off the back of its…

STRANGER THINGS Videogame
Videogames today are so advanced. Playing one is like watching a CGI movie that you control. People of my generation remember DRAGON’S LAIR, a cartoon videogame you could find only in arcades, as the most amazing thing ever seen in the world of electronic game play. It was like controlling your own Saturday morning cartoon!…
The Bridge Where Dogs Leap To Their Deaths
I’m surprised I’d never heard of Overtoun Bridge in Scotland before. The bridge is made of granite and is a hundred years old, constructed in 1895, and spans Overtoun Burn, a stream fifty feet below. There are lots of trees and rocks down there, too, below the bridge. The structure itself is creepy looking, but…
DARK UNIVERSE Dead?
There was this scene from SEINFELD I remember. Kramer had created his own company, consisting of him and one flunky. He had an idea to create a giant rubber bladder to put inside oil tankers to prevent oil spills should the ships ever run aground. To test his new invention, he and his flunky filled…
Equal Time for Furries
Last week, I posted an article on this pervert who resigned from his job in public service after it was revealed that he was living a “secret” life as a Furry. I don’t know how “secret” it really was, and it wasn’t so much his being a Furry that got him into hot water as…
Movie Review: THE DARKNESS
This is a fairly ubiquitous title, so to prevent any confusion, I’m talking about the movie starring Kevin Bacon and Radha Mitchell and directed by Greg McLean. It came out last year and was supposed to have gotten a theatrical run, but I swear I have no memory of it at all. A limited release,…
A Visit to the Tinderbox Circus Sideshow
I desperately miss the old-time circus sideshows. They were still around, but fading from prominence, in the years when my earliest memories were being made, memories like being taken to the County Fair each year. Today the sideshow is all but extinct. Almost, but, thankfully, not quite. You won’t see the “freaks” anymore. (Among the…
Devil Dog Road
I went on vacation last month, a driving trip. I saw a lot of cool things, and I’m still mining the trip for fodder here and on our sister sites, vanmpires.com and zombies.org. I’m trying to space it out for the sake of variety. Not everyone might enjoy a full week or two of my…
The Paulding Werewolf
I always give a little whoop of joy when I come across a new account of a werewolf sighting. Ol’ Stinker of Hull, England, the Beast of Bray Road, Wisconsin, and the Michigan Dogman, along with others, are notoriously undependable when it comes to putting in public appearances. Of all the sites I write for,…
Councilman Resigns After Being Revealed As A Furry
I always have to assume that there’s going to be somebody reading this, or any article I’ve written about Furries, who might not know what a Furry is. It is thus incumbent upon me to offer a concise explanation. A Furry is a pervert who likes to dress up in an animal costume like some…
