  1. The serious, and the seriously exciting: Higgs boson discovery confirmed

  2. The funny: Le papier ne sera jamais mort / Paper is not dead!. Don't worry that it's a French ad, you'll understand it.

  3. The fannish: Ben Whishaw and his amazing hair.

The Canterbury Tales

By Geoffrey Chaucer

Ultra-Condensed by Brandon Sumner

    Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
    A tale of a voyage long,
    Of pilgrims headed 'cross the land,
    Nine and twenty strong.

    The Knight was a most distinguished man,
    The Skipper brave and sure,
    The Doctor had a love for gold,
    The Franklin was a whore.
    The Franklin was a whore.

    The travellers, they found an inn,
    The Tabard was its name;
    If not for the segues of the Host,
    The story would be lame.
    The story would be lame.

    The pilgrims set out on their course,
    St. Christopher they sought;
    With the Wife of Bath,
    The Miller too,
    The Summoner,
    And the Reeve,
    The Pardoner, and the rest,
    To Canterbury they go!

    THE END

Made me laugh.

Pim sent me this item about The Canada Party made me laugh.

Not sure I should let my American friends see it, though.

Okay, I've seen versions of this one before, but this one tickled me.

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

Plato: For the greater good.

Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability. )

And I will add:

Eddie Izzard: To play his jazz trumpet.

But no one who hasn't seen Stripped will get it.

This made me laugh.

This 'Porn for Women' xkcd strip amused me. I got it courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] jhava.

If I'm going to fantasize about sexy men, I'm not going to fantasize about them doing housework. Just... not.

Like the Doctor, I don't do 'domestic'.

I wish I had the nerve to make answers like this. Blockbuster correspondence.

This picture struck me as very funny.

I'm not normally into Star Wars stuff, but this made me laugh.

Tonight's episode of Castle, "The Double Down", was fun: partly for the plot and its puzzle aspect, partly because of the bet between Castle and the cops about which would win the case first. Sheila and I were discussing the show on the phone, agreeing that it reminds us of the kind of romantic comedy mysteries that haven't been around for a while - shows like Remington Steele and Moonlighting.

Which reminds me that in Books on Beechwood yesterday I saw Richard Castle's book Heat Wave for sale. How many books get written by a fictional character? It had Nathan Fillion's photo on the back - and note the bland, straight-faced bio of Castle offered on Amazon:
Richard Castle is the author of numerous bestsellers, including the critically acclaimed Derrick Storm series. His first novel, In a Hail of Bullets, published while he was still in college, received the Nom DePlume Society's prestigious Tom Straw Award for Mystery Literature. Castle currently lives in Manhattan with his daughter and mother, both of whom infuse his life with humor and inspiration.
And so they do.

I'm loving this.

I really didn't like the Doctor Horrible Sing-Along Blog much, but this made me laugh.

When I first saw this, it was a Torchwood joke. I thought it was hilarious at the time. Now it's a Canadian politics reference and it is even funnier, on several levels. Sent to me by [livejournal.com profile] maaseru.

This made me laugh: huaband/wife names which ought not to be hyphenated. Really.

It's the verbal equivalent of NSFW.

I don't generally like macros, but I thought this one, sent to me by [livejournal.com profile] sparklebutch, was extremely funny.

I would, though.
