a fishy epiphany

The other night I had an epiphany, and, not surprisingly, it had to do with food.  (I tell ya, if I ever opened a restaurant, it would be the greatest thing since sliced bread… or even greater.  But I digress…)

It all started when I was baking some tortilla-encrusted Alaskan cod.  I like fish, and it’s good for you, too, with its Omega-3 fatty acids (whatever those are).  My wife sometimes eats some microwave meal (Healthy Request?) that is tortilla-encrusted fish.  It’s not bad, as far as low-fat, healthy microwave meals go.

Anyway, back to non-microwave-ready fish.  This fish was encrusted with crumbled-up tortillas, cornmeal, and jalapeños.  It was good, but of course, it could be even better.  The most obvious way would be to add bacon, but that’s not an epiphany — that’s just common sense.  I was thinking of different breadcrumb / encrusting options, and I had the idea of making Cheetos-encrusted fish (or chicken).  Would that not be awesome?  It’s time for some research!

explanation of Global Warming for children

There were some good (verbal) responses on our recent post with the child-like explanation of nuclear meltdown, so today we’re going to show a video that explains what causes Global Warming.  This is a simplified version, at a level anyone can understand.  (So if you still don’t get it, you’re obviously making things too complicated.)

FYI, this is from an episode of Futurama, in case you were wondering.

caption contest, Darth Vader on a swingset

We missed last week’s caption contest for various reasons, so perhaps this week’s should be double the awesome?  Well, I don’t know about that, but how about one with double the Darth Vaders?  It’ll have to do.  There’s some potential with this one, for both puns and Star Wars references, as well as original humor.  So put your thinking cap on (or take it off if that’s how your randomness flows better), and come up with something funny to explain this picture.

funny pictures, episode 9

It’s been awhile since I’ve shared more funny pictures with everyone.  This set has no theme, covering everything from video game characters, to overthrowing dictators (world politics), the status of Pluto, and there might even be a pun for those of you who appreciate such “humor”.

Periodic Table of Video Game Characters -- how many can you name?
It sounds like regime change is contagious...
We could vote Pluto back to planetary status... it doesn't matter how many scientists are there to vote.
Fortunately you can now surf the Net on your cell phone or laptop.
Nun of them can drive...
