It should be noted that selling food is against the rules at ebay nowadays. This means that food-related wackiness such as Kansas cornflakes/ Jesus Waffles/ Cockshews need to be presented as art objects (or something else) or risk being pulled from ebay.

Oh! I've got a photo of this! well, not this event, but a similar gorilla vs. banana photo.

Actually it is Patrick Wilkins' photo.

Thanks for the nice comments!
No need to fret ORNITH, the ink on the sheets did come out in the wash, and they are as good as new.

I do end up wasting/destroying some things to photograph/study/transmute into comedy for cockeyed.com: The 220 rice crispy squares and 968 CDs labeled with one Sharpie marker come to mind.

I, for one, blame Law & Order, SVU, for fostering in our society the widely-held idea that horror is waiting around every corner.

Rob Sherman and I had a similar discussion about the existence of Santa Claus in 2006.

I let him know that if kids are instructed that there might not be a Santa Claus, they will have no reason to avoid being naughty while their parents are out of the room. Their disposition for the entire year would change for the worse!

I also reminded him that we were in the land of Lincoln, (in this case Nebraska) where Christmas is enjoyed by kids and parents alike.

Also, I called him "Scrooge".

How can this be prevented? Should these types of postings be flagged on Craigslist, just as a preventative measure?

Is there even a name for a crime of this type?

There were not a lot of sex orgys around in my high school days.

Ah! Just the other day I read about a team of doctors at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center who had to remove six of a comment's vowels and refridgerate them to remove the cancerous intent of the poster. After the flame war died down, they re-inserted and attached the vowels.

In total, the vowels were outside her post for about 90 minutes.

Yes! I was about to mention the secret bonus lives error egg myself! I remember this pinball wizard named David who had triggered this accidental windfall of lives and handed the game over to me when he need a break.

It was one of the only truly frightening effects in video games... at least until Quake came out.

The fake circuit board is almost visible without opening it, but not quite. There is a white translucent focus dome, which is screwed in and out to set different focal lengths.

Naturally, when something screws, eventually, the user is going to screw it all the way out until it comes apart. That is when the second circuit board printout is visible, but I never wouldn't have noticed if someone hadn't pointed it out.

I had a similar problem, maybe it is just my dirty mind at work, but I noticed that the rubber tips for their baby bottles look just like a certain part of the female chest area.

A news director somewhere had to decide that it wasn't appropriate to show them in use.

For those of you who are suggesting that the president should put a stop to this kind of practice, remember, these rules are in place to stop the terrorists.

This woman could have had information which could have been used to save lives, did you ever think about that?!

My brother used to always have a story about the teenage dudes who got caught shoplifting gay porn in Tower Books.

They were supposed to call their parents, which they did, but they would sometimes allow the kid to pick a different magazine to get caught with.

My hero of self-experimentation is Dr. Barry Marshall, who suspected that a bacteria was responsible for stomach ulcers.

For years, physicians had considered them to be caused by stress, and to prove they were not, he drank a vial containing the bacteria. Surprise surprise, he got an ulcer, and then, after some suffering, cured himself with common antibiotics.

Now, ulcers are cured, not treated. Nobel Prize for him, btw.

I am commenting just so I can mention the Eyeclops bionic eye camera, and how wonderful it is. Thank you.

Ways to discourage unofficial uniformed policemen:

Become unofficial District Attorneys.

Cheer them on with relentless cheering and enthousiastic undersized paper flag waving.

Call the real police station and ask for them, by name. Explain that they are "ace detectives". Refer to them as the "New, hardworking officers on the street".

Man, that is awesome. I love that they used the area above and below the horizontal. That is brilliant.

Wow. My first impression was that it was fake, but the other photos confirm that it is real! Nice work.

I wonder how many people there are, alive today, who can say that they have produced made a million of some object. You need to have made 39 per day, every day for 70 years.

Maybe I've made that many keystrokes, but I don't think that counts.

Yeah! Putting the fiction back in cruxifiction! Thanks all for your nice comments.

Will this help or harm the effectiveness of my CCD camera-masking UV LED necklace?

There are four sets of nails that can claim to have been used in the cruxifiction.
Because the attachment method changed pretty much every week, from nails to iron rings, rope, leather and cloth, the nailing method didn't always go as planned.

The first set did not have large enough heads, so they popped through his skin and could not hold. The second three nails were used on his wrists, but bent, presumably because the nailer was nervous about what he was doing.

A more experienced nailer was brought in on the third try, but he brought an iron mallet, which was unfortunately, better forged than the nails. Two bent, one shattered.

Finally, on the fourth try, the deed was done, using five spikes which were re-purposed from the cart of a food vendor, where they had been used to hold dried hocks of ham.

The nails which were used in the crosses of the two thieves went in and held without incident. These six nails could also be considered to have been used "in the cruxifiction" because they were used at the event. The man on the left hand side of Jesus was cruxified for theft, and the man on the right was cruxified for making up a really long, complicated story about a historical event, just to make it sound legitimate.

This is really nice work. I can't believe how polished it looks considering its humble components.

Also, does anyone know what those rings on the staff are used for?

That is one of the arms from a T-3 which was sent back in time, from alternate 1978 to our 1919. Do not study it any further, or risk developing an army of brass robots, controlled by an all-knowing, self-aware computer network known as SteamNet.

Not to toot my own horn too much here, but I notice a problem with their lard packaging "Nutrition Information" in 2003. They had marked a pound as containing 105 tablespoons.

I wrote them a letter, and they sent me their thanks, with a bunch of 15 cent coupons!

A quick look into the company history reveals a whole list of intimidating names:

Switchblade Crisis (1977)
Kobra Kai (1979)
Da Inferno Corps (1981)
Hell's Devils (1985)
Ratt (1988)
Soprano Infantry (1996)

I can't believe NBC is promoting Bionic Woman like this. What a terrible idea.
