Los Linky Links: Cults and Crazies Edition
There are so many things wrong with this, I need a second blog.
The 8 Levels of Scientology
Market research shows that the number 7 resonates with people emotionally. You would think old L. Ron would have mined that psychological gold, but 8 levels of Scientology it is. Although, to be fair, these are only the published levels. There are allegedly 7 more levels of thetanhood beyond these.
Defining Irony
It’s a fortunate thing that Che Guevara is six feet under, because I’m pretty certain he wouldn’t be thrilled about a guy dropping 119 grand on a lock of his hair. If DNA testing of the tresses confirms its Cheness, this would apparently mean the revolutionary’s remains are, indeed, in Cuba. Fidel could not be reached for comment, but Hugo Chavez texted your teenager and really wants his Che shirt back.
10 Is Not Nearly Enough. Give Us 11.
An amateur scientist and writer named Tony Wright has developed a system that allows him to stay awake for stretches of up to 11 days. He claims to have learned to “switch” activity between brain hemispheres in order to allow periods of rest for each side of his brain. Evidently, humans used to do this all the time and it’s perfectly natural. In his latest bout of sleep deprivation lasting 11 days, he remained alert and focused at the local bar where he stood around, hung out, talked, played pool and other similarly productive things worth giving up sleep for. And Neatorama has the scoop on another 11-day sleepless stint.
And now, time for a “Could it be more cliche?” update for all my peeps: I have been moving into a new pad and dealing with the loose ends that come with it. The worst part about this already-verging-on-cliche update is that it’s not even a good cliche, for in addition to the I’ve-been-busy-sorry-for-posting-less bit there is the obligatory cat drama. What is it with these cats? Among the many festivities in the new digs, including witnessing a man relieving himself on my lawn, my cat got herself stuck in the heat duct behind the wall and it took me a day to find her. Finally, while we are in the vicinity of the word “peep”, here is a video of someone eating a deep-fried peep plus an actual recipe for - as far as I can ascertain - a crunchy peep and ramen noodle salad. Peace out.
