Man Blowing a Bubble: An ASCII Short Film
Before the internet, there were movies. And before movies, there were typewriters. And before typewriters, there was chewing gum. And before chewing gum, there were only cavemen. Is this dude a caveman chewing gum in a typewriter movie? Maaaybe. [Obsolete] [Gizmodo] -

Blackwater Lives to Dodge Another (No-Bid Contracted Manslaughter) Bullet
Maybe Blackwater founder Erik Prince really is a "Christian crusader" protected by God, because a judge throwing out what seemed like a rock-solid case against five mercenaries for the manslaughter of 14 unarmed civilians is nothing short of a miracle. [Gawker] -
