- Giant isopod found attached to underwater robot – That thing is going to haunt my nightmares. From Steve.
- Han Solo soap – For those times when you need to rub Harrison Ford all over yourself.
- George Takei, still awesome – His PSA for the 2010 census that he did with his hubby.
- Climatologists concerned about newly emerging weather patterns – This new phenomena could have a large impact on erosion.
@Isopod: What in the hell of shit.
Damn, that thing’s a cross between really cool and sickening… ;-D
I smell a Treelobster/Giant Isopod crossover.
That Han Solo soap is awesome. Although with that title I was expecting a Star Wars version of “Days of our lives” at first … which might also be awesome (and may possibly also involve rubbing Harisson Ford all over yourself).
@ZenMonkey: Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn! Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!
Oh! How about lolisopods? “IM IN UR NITEMAREZ EETIN UR BABIEZ”
I can haz babee eeting nitemarez?
That Han Solo soap looks a lot more practical than this D20 soap.
Slightly off topic, but I just discovered that I love Edward Cullen and all his sparkly vampire friends. Like for realz! He can stalk me and watch me sleep anytime he wants! Just, you know, throwing that one out there. I can’t hide from the truth nemore :\
See I could buy Takai as a sparkly vampire.
Cullen and the kin…not so much.
That newly emerging weather pattern is particularly frightening.
I….I can’t believe I just got RainRoll’d.
Fun fact:
Anything that can be moulded as soap can also be moulded in chocolate. And vice-versa.
I smell a business opportunity …
@exarch: Star Wars soap opera, chocolate/soap molds… You’re just full of good ideas today.
@Steve: @faith: So. Fucking. Creepy.
@exarch:
Soap flavored candy!
@Elyse: Flip that around. Theeeeere you go.
@Elyse:
I think Richard Saunders brought some of that last TAM.
@Amanda:
Basement cat has been usurped by basementisopod.
Umm, I am a bit confused, I clicked on the climatologist link and went to a YouTube video “Chocolate Rain” was that supposed to happen?
You know, I’ve made out with a guy on a couch, kissed a former co-worker’s hand and called him sweetie, and joked with both a husband and his wife that they were cheating on me with each other… and I don’t know if I’m secure enough in my heterosexuality to rub Harrison Ford all over my naked body.
@Spacepope: This should clear things up for you:

@exarch: A few years back I gave my mother an anatomically correct chocolate heart for valentines day. She loved it.
Speaking of LGBT stuff, Anna Paquin (Sukie from True Blood) just came out (officially) as bisexual:

Cyndi Lauper’s “I Give a Damn” campaign is awesome. Cyndi Lauper is awesome.
I’ll have the isopod with butter and garlic please.
@Skept-artist: I knew it would be that but, like a train wreck, I clicked anyway…
@Mark Hall: COTW
So am I the only one who looked at the isopod pics and wondered how it tasted with melted butter?
Kudos to George and the mister, along with Anna Paquin. I am so OMGWTFBBQFANBOI addicted to True Blood it isn’t even funny.
@OneHandClapping: From what I’ve read in the past, Anna has been fairly open about having same-sex experiences, but this is the first time she’s officially come out as bisexual. In fact, I guess no one knew she was going to say it until she said it, which I think is pretty awesome.
But anyway, yes, the show is awesome. The creator, Alan Ball (who also writes) is openly gay, and you can definitely see the influence. Also, hello, Lafayette. Coolest character ever.
@OneHandClapping: No, but whenever I see something new my first reaction is always to think about what it would taste like with melted butter, so I didn’t think to mention it.
Mmm… melted butter.
@Mark Hall: I saw Spacepope’s comment on Skepchick mobile and RAN to the nearest desktop at work to post that. It was Moral Imperative. I’m sure you understand :)
Also: I second the COTW nod.
that isopod is the stuff of serious nightmares.
I am never never never going into the ocean again. First, it’s full of wandering whale sperm, then it’s full of nitemaer creechures. And that’s without even considering what’s off the coast of Australia.
Personally, I’d rather rub Harrison Ford all over my body in the shower.
Good for Anna Paquin! Now, of course, the orientation purists will start nagging her to get off the fence. [‘There’s no such thing as a bisexual…’] Arrrgh.
@DominEditrix: I HATE that. Claiming that someone can’t be bi is the equivalent of claiming someone can be cured of teh gay.
I am fighting with the urge to disclaimer that I am still totally heterosexual… which I am.
@Mark Hall: Now I need to know the context of that kiss…
That’s hot, btw. Heehee.
I actually think the ‘pod is kinda cute.
But I am weird.
That isopod is so rad. It probably attached itself to the robot in an attempt to get back to its home planet.
I TRY TO BE FOOKING NICE TO YOU!
@Mark Hall: I’ve never understood why some people want to deny that sexuality is a sliding scale with room for all sorts of preferences. I suspect that the “get off the fence”ers are insecure – after all, if one’s partner is attracted to both/all sexes, there’s twice the competition, and the opposite sex has something one doesn’t have, hence cannot really compete with. I have a friend who was married to a man for 15 years; her subsequent wife had a fit every time she became friends with a male, even gay ones. That’s insecurity to the power of ridiculous.
But I do worry about Skulleigh, who thinks the ‘pod is cute.
The isopod, strangely, stirred up feelings akin to those that strike me when I see a cute puppy. I did not expect that from myself.
@marilove: Which kiss?
The making out with a guy on the couch was gaming and annoying our fellow players. Our characters (his a Mexican mercenary, mine a mutant and member of a fascistic military) worked exceptionally well together, and developed a relationship. So, we sat on the couch and made out while the GM was busy with other people, just to fuck with the rest of the group. He was in theatre and I have no shame, so we could both get around the fact that we’re hetero for something amusing.
Yet another animal I wish I didn’t know excisted. *shudder*
@Mark Hall: Okay … yeah, that’s totally hot. And geeky. And hot.
@marilove
You act as if the two are not synonymous…
I first read the headline as ‘Giant Ipod’. But I think the isopod is much cooler.
