Which means a couple hours of sitting in an airport, but it beats
walking.

It comes a little early at my grandmother's house, because some of the
family can only make it out for Thanksgiving.

Another video post, I know, but it's a good one... what happens when you get bored with regular old BASE jumping? Well I guess you start playing around and seeing how close to the road (with cars on it!) that you can get without pulling a Wyle E. Coyote.

That's right Aunt Jemima, you can see their new film below. It makes me gleeful.

In the end, it was Sunday afternoons he couldn't cope with, and that terrible listlessness that starts to set in at about 2:55 when you know you've taken all the baths you can usefully take that day, that however hard you stare at any given paragraph in the newspaper you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o'clock, and you will enter the Long Dark Teatime of the Soul.

Blurry as hell but the crucial point is that that's an El Camino with
a full-sized fridge in the back. Brilliant!

So, again, teh government proves what it's doing to keep us safe from terrorists. Long story short, a company called SITE used some internal contacts in al Qaeda (in other words, a mole in that organization) to obtain an early copy of a video Bin Laden was planning to release in September. They agreed to give a select group of senior administration officials access to the video, on the condition that it not go any further, because if it leaked it would endanger their access to al Qaeda (which to me sound like "will get our agent killed"). Within an hour, it was being downloaded by people all throughout the intelligence community, and not long after that was made public.
So SITE's contact in al Qaeda was silenced, which probably means killed.
Way to go, government.
Let's recap... Successful: keeping liquids off planes. Unsuccessful: not acting in a manner that direly harms national security.
Awesome.
Here's a link to the article about the whole thing... my synopsis is actually pretty craptastic.

But I do love the Perry Bible Fellowship.
It's a great weekly-ish comic with a nice varying art style and some awesomely messed-up jokes. Kind of like the comic strip answer to Robot Chicken, at times.
And since I can't resist showing the crazy broadness of the subject matter, here's another one:
( Under a cut, since it's kinda wide )
Which I know shouldn't be funny, but is.

Back in 2006, a NASA experiment caused a batch of salmonella germs to be taken into space to see how they'd do. The result? Mice fed the space germs were three times more likely to get sick as mice fed regular earth-salmonella. They also died quicker, too.
So this is what we get from all our glorious space travel... no jetpacks, no antigravity, no immortality. Nope, we get super food poisoning.
Thanks a pantload, NASA.
