CBS Owns the Internet

After I had just put up my post on Cectic, I started up my linklist (which you should see to your right), looking for interesting links to add. Then I remembered something so awesome... you might want to sit down. Unless you already looked at the linklist, which then you might already be sitting down. Or laughing at me. Or confused.

What am I so hyped up about? What am I talking about in this post's title? I'm talking about FREE MACGYVER EPISODES. Yes, folks, now the adventures of everyone's favourite man of ingenuity, simplicity, and all-American goodness are available to anyone with an internet connection (that isn't dial-up) and a video player. We may all now enjoy the exploits of Mac and his friends, like Penny Parker and Jack Dalton, as well as Mac's fight against his arch-rival Murdoc (he comes in Season 2). Mac also fights against Communism (ants, Soviet arms dealers, etc.) and promotes the good ol' American values of simplicity, friendship, and loyalty. Although I have to say, Season 1 is pretty cheesey, considering he's pretty much kissing a new girl at the end of almost every episode. Really, Mac, chill. Otherwise, the series is fantastic and full of adventure!



Check out the FREE EPISODES here at CBS.com so then you'll understand any and all MacGyver references I may make here on out. Especially check out Season 1's episode "Trumbo's World", where Mac fights against the evil Communist ants threatening to destroy a good ol' American's crop that had been worked on by the hands of cheap labour; if this doesn't convince you of the evils of ant society and how they wish to dominate the world, then you're probably just an ant sympathizer. Comrade.

Anyway, I thought this would be a really cool thing to share with everyone. MacGyver is a television series that no one should miss, for even over ten years after its last episode aired, its values, tips, and cheesiness still resonate today.

May Mug Mania!...Is on the Way

Hooray for alliteration! However, not-yay for the lack of coffeemug pictures. I can't seem to find my file of coffee mug images on my flash drive, so I can't really upload any nifty new mugs. But, don't fret, for the mugs will be up soon! In the meantime, it looks like it's filler for us!

I'd like to point our attentions to a witty comic series taking on the issues behind the science vs. pseudoscience debates: Cectic. From acupuncture and astral projection to homeopathy to Xenu, this comic satirizes the stances of the tinfoil hats and the ultra-religious and the medical quacks in an effort to promote reason in society. One in particular I thought I should share:




Essentially, that's what all tinfoil hat arguments boil down to, even long after the "evidences" for their claims are found to have been faked. In fact, a few of the posters in the background have been listed in the Museum of Hoaxes website. Another favourite is the one about the chemtrails, but I'll let you check them all out. Really, read Cectic.com, which updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.


And remember, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. When you've got an extraordinary claim with mediocre proof, you're gonna look pretty silly.
