Sunday Burst of Weirdness (delayed edition)
OK, I'm resorting to an old, tried-and-true technique for coming up with a Burst of Weirdness, but at least I haven't done this in a while: just linked funny stuff I found while Googling "Cthulhu".
Oh my God, I so want this cake at my birthday this year. (And what's really cool is that this cake only came in second at a contest called "Demented Breakfast Cereal Treats". What came in first? You won't believe it. Go here. Yup, that's pretty demented. I wish it had a video.)
"Make your country...into a land that understands more than only war and
righteous piety. Allow space in your lives for more than battle chants to
inspire soldiers. Teach your people to...understand a garden, the reason for a
fountain, music."
-The Lions of Al-Rassan, Guy Gavriel Kay
We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just
to ourselves but also to that Cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we
spring.
-Cosmos, Carl Sagan.
"...[T]he people who really count are those who discover new ways of making our lives beautiful."
-Delius as I Knew Him, Eric Fenby
"Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any creative art. The water is free. So drink.
Drink and be filled up."
-On Writing, Stephen King
"We will never be an advanced civilization as long as rain showers can delay the launching
of a space rocket."
