Word is going around the news sites today of amusing fossil discoveries in northern Australia of creatures being dubbed "killer kangaroos" and "demon ducks of doom". The MSNBC story is here, the BBC story here. Me, I have but one word to say regarding this scientific achievement, and that word is:

QUACK

Meanwhile, I bring you the story of a brown dress on the lam. That its owner, Alex Martin, had been doing a year-long thing wherein she wore that same dress every single day as a statement on consumerism is cool all by itself--but apparently when she had the party for her "undressing" at the end of the project, somebody swiped the dress! And is now sending her email and photos about it. That's hysterical. :D

And speaking of further amusing blogger stunts, for those of you who haven't seen this story yet, I further bring you the tale of a man who started with a paper clip and bartered his way to a house.

ETA 10:32am: Oh yes, I forgot to add this one: this year's winners of the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest. I particularly like this one: It was a dreary Monday in September when Constable Lightspeed came across the rotting corpse that resembled one of those zombies from Michael Jackson's "Thriller," except that it was lying down and not performing the electric slide.
