A slew of animated kitty goodness

In my recent web meanderings, I’ve stumbled upon a huge number of animated GIFs and stills. I’ve been collecting these. Some of my favorites have been the stickfigure animations and the kitty animations. I’ll do a big post of some of the good and not-so-good stickfigure animations soon, but right now, I wanted to get the kitty animations in place first. Some of these are WTF is that? animations, some are moronic looking, and some are funny. You decide which is which for you. Hit the read more link below to see all of them.

Radiation-proof bike suit

Just in case you ever worried about the need to exercise with 200 mSv (see linked wikipedia definition) or higher radiation levels here is your bike suit, as displayed in the March 1952 issue of Mechanix Illustrated.  I’m guessing that a lead-lined suit makes biking in a century ride a bit impractical.  I suppose after a major nuclear strike, though, we’ll see more short-distance biking, given the extra weight of our protective suits.

Lead-Lined Suit specially designed to protect against radioactivity in an A-blast, was designed by Leo Pauwela of Los Angeles and is modeled here by his son. “If it doesn’t land on us, we’re safe,” they say.

The wisdom of children

Tonight, at dinner, my older son (6.75 years) was not listening very well.  After arguing about after-dinner plans, he walked away from the table:

“Get back here, if you want any more dinner before bedtime,” I said.

“I’m not talking to you ever again,” he said.

My younger son (3.5 years) then interjects himself into the conversation “But you just talked to him now.”

Sometimes, I think he is much wiser than his years suggest.  🙂

Break-dancing animals

No, no – not Break-dancing animals 2: Electric Boogaloo. This is just a small animated GIF of some costumed people, dressed as animals, doing some dancing. In fact, there’s no real break-dancing in here. But that’s the name of the image, so I put it in the title.

My younger son absolutely loves this picture, so I thought I’d share it for others who have young children.

Chuck Norris taken down?

Folks, I’m sorry to have to post this.  I never thought it possible.  But we have here video proof that sometimes someone can beat Chuck Norris.  Perhaps it’s a clever ploy by the most powerful human in the universe.  I hope it is.  Because I just can’t believe someone could take him down so easily otherwise.

What the?!?!?!?

OK, so I’ve been on something of a forensics/profiler/behavioral sciences kick lately.  The book I’m currently reading, The Evil That Men Do, references a forensic medicine book.  Thinking I’d look in to the options for this, I do an Amazon search for ‘forensic medicine’ and look over the list.  As I am looking at one offering, Encyclopedia of Forensic and Legal Medicine, Volume 1-4 (Hardcover), I notice this odd little pairing Amazon gives me for the “Better together” option:

I never would have guessed one could get more enjoyment from a forensics encyclopedia by purchasing it with the March of the Penguins DVD.

Weird signs

(via Neatorama)

Have you ever been on the phone with your wife, discussing something serious, like the kids painting everything in the living room, and started reading a web site with scads of weird signs that had you struggling to not laugh while your wife told you how rough her day has been? Well, I don’t recommend it, but if you can visit this gallery of weird signs sometime when it won’t interrupt a serious moment, I do recommend it. The signs are oddities on their own, but reading the commentary/imagined sign description really makes for some good laughs. Here are a couple, with the hosts comments.

Radioactive Animals.
