A weird circular formation in Eastern Russia has been spotted on Google Maps. Ok, so it’s far more likely to be a crater with contaminated water pouring into it from unsafe Russian factories or a strip mine full of chemicals, but it would be nice to think aliens have been growing bases in remote parts of the world. Odd choice of colour though.
This completely unsettling video was recorded 7828ft down by a worker on an oil rig. And scared the crap out of me. It looks like anorexic Cthulhu! Apparently its a Long Arm Squid or Magnapinna. I call it ‘Evil.’
Next time you’re deep sea diving, keep your eyes peeled for this horror.

Have you, like me, put your internal organs through slightly more wear n’ tear than was strictly necessary in the past? Worried perhaps, that your most likely causes of death are spontaneous combustion or melting, Robocop/Wicked Witch style? Well worry no more! Thanks to the chaps at the excellent cloningresources.com, it turns out that your clapped-out pancreas will soon be replaceable! With..you guessed it…reanimated rat parts. And I quote:
By using a process called whole organ decellularization, scientists from the University of Minnesota Center for Cardiovascular Repair grew functioning heart tissue by taking dead rat and pig hearts and reseeding them with a mixture of live cells.
I am assuming that University of Minnesota is an anagram of ‘Miskatonic Institute‘ But obviously messing with forces man wasn’t meant to understand is always a good thing! Can’t wait for them to whip me up a new liver- good work dangerous and morally ambiguous scientists everywhere!
This Friday, most of the world will be dressing up as The Joker and trying to elicit candy from strangers. The population of London however, will be cramming their consumer-holes full to bursting as the terrible behemoth that is Westfield mall throws open it’s doors for the first time. Obviously I’ll be there, mainly because you get free shit on opening days, but because I walk past this fucker every day, ( and I’m y’know…investigative…or a peeping tom…)I sneaked in early today and peeked. No other building in the city quite defines both ‘Awesome’ and ‘Fucking Terrifying’ so well! I’m all for innovative architecture, but seeing Hugo Boss suspended in a giant Ice-Spider’s web isn’t what I had in mind. Neither are the massive signs, simply reading ‘Choice‘ scattered about the place. I tried looking at them ironically but have come to the conclusion that the whole thing is waaay too ‘They Live‘ for my liking, although buildings that base their aesthetic on John carpenter films are always a bonus. Anyway, you lazy bastards who won’t pay the congestion charge-get your fat asses down to W12 this weekend!
…it would have more breasts than any other living thing. Cheap boob jokes aside, Kevin Kelly – founding editor of the ace Wired has written an excellent essay claiming that
The rapidly increasing sum of all computational devices in the world connected online, including wirelessly, forms a superorganism of computation with its own emergent behaviors.
In other words more suited to this blog (short and sweary) The internet will be fucking alive one day. So far, so bad episode of The Outer Limits. But if you consider the net as a superorganism, different but similar to a regular organism in that it is
a collection of agents which can act in concert to produce phenomena governed by the collective
and add a few words we get this…
a collection of bored kids which can act in concert to produce web phenomena governed by /b/
Yikes. The internet is alive and calling people fags.
