Can YOU imagine a world with Hover bacon?

Kinder Lano

So yeah, I got a Kinder Egg in my advent calendar this morning. All well and good, until I open the egg and find this:


1. I hate it when they won't let you build it yourself; that's half the point, folks!
2. WTF IS THAT SUPPOSED TO EVEN LOOK LIKE?!

LANO, THAT'S WHAT.

LANO

This is anti-lano, but the lanoness is high because of, well, us!

The story of stuff is basically a 20 minute long video explaining where all your things come from and where they go after you are done with them. I watched the entire thing, and while I probably care more about these issues than your average person, the way she explains things is very easy to understand, and you don't really need any sort of knowledge beforehand. Actually if you do, you might feel a little bit belittled, but it's still worth a watch.

The story of stuff

Now go be a good little consumer whore and watch it. Or at least watch a teaser:

FRICKIN' AWESOME! (Anti-Lano)

I was browsing some website, and there was a guy named Leoplurodon there, which reminded me of the word Liopleurodon, which again made me think.. frick, Liopleurodon is a fricking awesome word.

SRSLY!

So, here are some facts about Liopleurodons:

Liopleurodons, even if they lived during the end of the Jurassic Period 165-150 million years ago (Holy Shit!), were not as you might have thought dinosaurs (DUH!). They were the largest plesiosaurs (Which is basically a swimming reptile. Omg, so much cooler!) and rocked the ocean, killing their prey with their long sharp teeth!

Liopleurodon means "smooth-sided tooth;" and the name came from French paleontologist H.E.Sauvage in 1873. Haha, what a name, what a name. On the guy I mean, not the liopleurodon; that's a really awesome name and it feels great to pronounce it and read it and hear it and it just.. REEKS OF ANTI-LANONESS!

Personally I feel that the liopleurodon was misunderstood. Obviously a nice guy.

You can also see a magical liopleurodon in the youtube video "Charlie goes to Candy Mountain". Definitely worth the view. The magical liopleurodon is also very friendly and helpful in this movie; a step in the right direction when it comes to correcting whatever bad reputation the liopleurodons might have gotten up throughout the years.

This video features a dinosaur getting eaten by a liopleurodon, but I feel that the entire thing is misrepresentative and that well.. when you gotta eat you gotta eat. Cruel Sea? A little on the harsh side there, Spanish TV-Program!

MOAR ANTI-LANO!

FTW!

Anti-Lano!

"Say goodbye to the RIAA, for its days are numbered. EMI, one of the "big four" record labels that feeds $132.3 million every year to trade groups such as the RIAA and IFPI, has decided that its money could be better spent elsewhere. It's reportedly considering cutting its funding towards the trade groups significantly, which would make it a lot harder for the RIAA to sue people, invade people's privacy and generally be huge dicks."

Good for you, EMI! (even if it's all about teh greedy)

WHAT?

As a completely normal and sane human being, I did a search for "Kari+Lano" in google, and one of the hits was from the political party Demokratene's homepage. Jan Simonsen was answering questions or something, and for SOME REASON someone named "Kari Lano" had submitted a question:

Anyhow.. pretty lano alright.

Things that are Lano

A whole list of Lano things:

-Cold Hands
-A lack of chocolate when you really want chocolate
-War
-The fact that "Jolabros" goes out of production most of the year
-Microsoft


..and perhaps the fact that when you want to sit down and write a list over all the things that are wrong with the world; you can only think of 5 points.
