Bush (Verb) -- To do stupid things with confidence.

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address occurred during the same week.  This is an ironic juxtaposition of events--one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.

Bumper stickers at my college:
"Republicans for Voldemort!"
"Frodo failed.  Bush got the Ring."

Resistance is futile!  (If < 1 ohm...)

I just copypasta'd this from some posts on 4chan. I haven't even looked at half of the links yet, so I don't know what is or isn't there.

In fact, Kaluza's early work demonstrated that general relativity in five dimensions actually predicts the existence of electromagnetism.

Alien Hand syndrome was always quite interesting to me, I remember seeing a documentary on it ages ago, it's kind of weird, and very scary, like being a two-person schizophrenic, but with motor control being shared between both personae...

Sailing stones and Battle of LA are pretty good reads, I didn't have time to read either what I've of heard before, or 75% of the other things...

Also search for Mary Celeste, and then there's a whole category related to it.

We'd be paused until the next restart, where our saved progress would be reloaded, and we wouldn't notice a thing.

In other words, if Windows is running reality, it's happening all the time.
