    “The Creation Museum presents a “walk through history.” Designed by a former Universal Studios exhibit director, this state-of-the-art 60,000 square foot museum brings the pages of the Bible to life… [With] over fifty exotic animals, life-sized people and dinosaur animatronics, and a special-effects theater complete with misty sea breezes and rumbling seats.”

  • Fletcher Hanks Dropin' A-Bombs

    Destroy the World

    Wow just got the word that the new book of Fletcher Hanks comics is set to land this week. For most of us our first taste of this undercover genius was from the few pages reprinted in the awesome book Art Out of Time, and even with that books steller line up of underground and obscure weirdness from bygone days. Fletcher Hanks was easily the best thing in there.

  • Quimby discovers superstar status

    “Astronomers reported that they had seen the most powerful stellar explosion ever recorded… [They’ve] have been following the star since last September, when it was discovered in a galaxy 240 million light years away in the constellation Perseus by ROBERT QUIMBY, a University of Texas graduate student, who was using a small robotic telescope at McDonald Observatory near Fort Davis, Tex., to troll for supernovas. The cataclysm — a monster more than a hundred times as energetic as the typical supernova in which the more massive stars end their lives — might be an example of a completely new type of explosion, astronomers said. Such a blast — proposed but never seen — would explain how the earliest and most massive stars in the universe ended their lives and strewed new elements across space to fertilize future stars and planets.” -NYTimes, 5/8/07
