Breakfast Links: Eaten by pets, Naked Ping-Pong & Levitation
Sigh, another monday. Nice art.
Ok, this one’s gross. Some German guy was found dead in his apartment (via ectoplasmosis)- eaten by his own pet spiders and lizards. Totally gross, the cops came when his neighbors began reporting the smell , he’d been dead a week or two before he was found. Check out this quote from the authorities:
His corpse was over the sofa. Giant webs draped him, spiders were all over him. They were coming out of his nose and his mouth. There was everything there one could imagine in the world of reptiles. Larger pieces of flesh torn off
Doesn’t that make you not ever to have a pet black widow (believed to have been the one to actually kill the guy)?
So, if incredibly poisonous spiders aren’t your thing, what are you to do? Perhaps Naked Ping-Pong (via Gothamist)? Unfortunately, to the creators of this event naked is a state of mind, not a state of clothing. Nevertheless if you think you got the skillz to pay the bills you ought to check it out - 20 bucks gets you in, listening to their DJ and drinking their booze. Another $10 lets you pit your prowess against others. Apparently super model Veronica Webb stepped up to that green table one night. All this should be done in preparation for Balls of Fury, opening on the 29th!
And if furious balls aren’t your thing either (really?) then maybe levitation is. That’s right, scientists have figured out how to make stuff levitate. I read the piece and to sum it up, it went a little like this: “blah blah blah blah the same effect could be used to levitate bigger objects too, even a person.” Yes! That, my friend, is what I’m talking about. Of course, I don’t know why it took them so long, David Blaine was doing this years ago, they should have just asked him, but you know scientists, always doing stuff the hard way.

Sam, you were obviously impressed by my fly bowling style. I’m pretty sure that 102 game you saw me bowl was right at the top, if not at the top, of my all time best bowling games. That’s right, I’m that good.
Poyla, you better filet that sucker post haste! Do unto others before they do unto you, as a wise man once said.
