Big Wide World

i don't watch the news. not that i don't want to know what's going on, but simply b/c i'm sick of the ugly disgusting, and sad things that happen around the world, and the vile things that we do to eachother. so i look to alternative news sources that are just plain funny or weird. one of the ones that i check out is fark.com

here's august 24, 2005 in a nutshell...
