Undeniable Evidence that Chickens are mammals

I was cleaning up after lunch when I noticed something odd about the egg I'd just cracked...






Yep. An egg boob.

Total Eclipse of my Shaky Hands

I just got back from watching the total lunar eclipse. It's good to know that my brand-new camera and teenage reflexes were up to the challenge.




That last one kind of looks like those chains of shapes you could make go down ski slopes and stuff in that computer game Thinkin' Things. God, I hope someone knows what I'm talking about.


And for those curious, this is what the eclipse really looked like (courtesy of www.newscientist.com):

How to Reach Nirvana starring Il Buddino

Please form an orderly line. We can't have all kinds of disorder in Nirvana, you know.

Take a purifying bath.
(Just don't look under the bubbles...)

Hurry! The Enlightenment is almost ready!

Get into the yoga position known as The Inverted Buddino and begin to meditate.

You will feel a strange sensation in your head. Don't worry, this is completely normal and means you are on the path to enlightenment!


You're almost there! Aren't you excited?

But please don't get too excited.

(eeeewww)

Now meditate in a cool environment for three to five hours. We'll be back shortly.

This may sting a little...

And here we go...


Isn't this exciting?


Congratulations! You are all now enlight--






Ohhhh shit...


But nothing that a little paper and some toothpicks can't solve! Congratulations, and welcome to Nirvana!

We'd like to remind the general public to please not eat the Englightened Ones.


OH GOD YOU'RE EATING ONE AREN'T YOU?

Stupid girl...




About the Buddinos:

I picked these up at a shop in Milan called Love Therapy. Buddino is a play on the Italian word budino, meaning pudding. This was a test run. I used Jello flan. I added the caramel sauce first, which is why they came out headless. In all, a fun and delicious experiment.
