The only questions worth asking today are whether humans are going to have any emotions tomorrow, and what the quality of life will be if the answer is no.

It's a Scary Baby Conspiracy, Baby
1999-07-12 23:56:04
Now this is the way to do a "Look at the scary, ugly people" site. Besides, we all know that babies are kind of weird and creepy. It's true. You wouldn't want to kiss one if you weren't related to it, and they create frightening noises and smells.
So this Dan Gillies guy takes pictures of babies and puts them through some twisted image filters and when they come out the other side, they are some crazy scary babies! Gillies' babies are like nightmare H.R. Giger creations, and for some reason, probably because they are BABIES, the result is something that is so nasty and horrible that you want to squash it with your foot.
He even has a Charlie Manson baby, and fire-breathing devil-eared babies, and pictures of babies that aren't even digitally altered but are just freaking scary because they're too cute. My only problem with this site is that there just aren't enough scary babies shown here. It's a well-known fact that there are untold millions of perfectly scary, nasty babies out loose in the world, and a site called "scarybaby.com" should be able to keep tabs on them better, before they eat our sheep.
There's even a Scary Baby mailing list, so you can keep up with all the latest Scary Baby action.

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.

During a magnificent sunny day in a fast receding autumn, the Spock Science Monitor reporters once again blew the playa dust off of their computers and covered the 2002 Burning Man Decompression – held every year just east of Portola Hill in beautiful San Francisco. Both an afternoon and evening issues were released to the unsuspecting crowd of freaks attempting to in some small way experience the euphoria of the playa – if but for a brief afternoon far from the desolation of Northern Nevada.
