If you’re thankful for your freedom, then don’t do anything — ever — to surrender it.

Spotted at Extrano’s comes tell of øbama’s gun ban list.

Seems a somewhat peculiar list to me. Some specific, but in my mind, obscure models, are on the list, but there are other comparable models not there.

Which ones are an exercise for the reader.

Prometheus was punished by the gods for giving the gift of knowledge to man.

And now I’ve been punished by myself for suffering through two hours of the movie Prometheus.

Yeah, it’s not exactly a Thanksgiving kind of movie, but tonight I found myself watching it…only because I hadn’t seen it before.

I could’ve done something more useful…like have my soul sucked out by Cthulhu.

I was mid-way to granting them a pass on the “all week” part… but I’ve never heard of an eight-day long week, much less one that’s made up entirely of Fridays:

I’m not spending a dime on anything, anywhere that includes the term “Black Friday” — I’m beyond tired of hearing it.

I’ve never had a chance to hunt wild turkey.

But it looks like there are plenty of opportunities in Massachusetts to do that — even without a shotgun and out of season, no less.

Alas, those opportunities seem to be missed by people that are, I presume, of the Animals are Friends inclination.

Remember, everybody: meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder.

I love XKCD. If you’ve never heard of it and claim to be a geek, you are hereby ordered to surrender your geek card at once.

What If is where they ask the important things, like “If every person on Earth aimed a laser pointer at the Moon at the same time, would it change color?” or “If you went outside and lay down on your back with your mouth open, how long would you have to wait until a bird pooped in it?” (why would you want to know that?)

This week, they take on firearms and theorize about building a Machine Gun Jetpack with “Is it possible to build a jetpack using downward firing machine guns?”

I need to get my hands on a GSH-6-30… I wanna try something with a nearby mountain.

Also, that GAU-8 graphic would be awesome on a T-shirt.
