Fun Facts

Easter has NOTHING to do with:

Ishtar

Ostara

Pagan holidays

A goddess called Eostre (Bede was a speculating idiot and he’s the original source for this nonsense)

Easter has EVERYTHING to do with:

The Jewish celebration of the Passover seder

The Christian celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ

Nobody stole our shit. Easter was never pagan to begin with. Rabbit was considered “fish” by the medieval Catholic Church so that people could eat it during the 40 days of Lent, and eggs laid during the Lenten fast were hardboiled for preservation and then eaten during the breaking of the fast on Easter Sunday. That’s why we have bunnies and eggs.

Stop conflating Easter with pagan holidays, and get the fuck out of here with that casual anti-semitism.

Thank you and good day.

This image shows a collection of diatoms at a magnification of 200. Diatoms are aquatic, photosynthetic protists and are one of the simplest forms of phytoplankton. They are abundant in nearly every habitat where water is found – oceans, lakes, streams, mosses, soils and even the bark of trees. Nearly all diatoms are microscopic; cells range in size from about 2 microns to about 500 microns (0.5 mm), or about the width of a human hair.

everytime I hear about children of the corn I think about the guy I met at comic con who actually lived in the town they filmed that movie at, and on the farm where they filmed in the corn. he was a teenager at the time and him and his friends would get drunk on moonshine and rustle the corn and let the air out of the tires of the production team’s trailers and shit. and now there’s Wikipedia pages about how the children of the corn set was haunted and they thought they angered god but it was really just drunk hillbillies

I don’t like adding to posts but I also have a funny story like this, so I was watching the movie the Blair witch which takes place in burkettsville maryland, which to me is so funny because that is were my grandfather lives and the town is literally just old people and cows with their main street consisting of a post office. Well anyway he told me that after it came out people were coming in like bus loads to the town to find the witch and my grandfather lives up in the Mountain area and people were up in his property trying to find the witch and it made him angry so he went out and hung up stick people and stacked rocks and it freaked the people out so they started thinking something was out there when really it was my 80 year old Italian grandpa who wanted people out of his woods.

We had ghost hunters come to a historic house in my town to film and if you think every high school kid in town respectfully stayed at home that night instead of going to fuck up that filming you’re dead wrong.

this is comforting, actually, sometimes paranormal things are just a bunch of bored people dicking around in the woods.

New favorite cryptid: locals

[urbsinpalude]

In the mid-40s, massive three-toed footprints started appearing on beaches in my hometown. Nobody knew what they were, and we ended up getting national attention. After some pilots saw a creature (”a furry log with a hog-shaped head”) offshore, NBC and the New York Herald Tribune paid for a zoologist to come in and take casts, and he noted that the tracks followed patterns that matched animal behavior. He also consulted with a bunch of road engineers who determined it would’ve taken a ton of weight on each foot to make tracks that deep, and concluded that the only possible explanation was a giant aquatic bird. He ended up claiming that he saw the thing from an airplane up near the Suwannee River, and that it looked like a grayish-yellow giant penguin (probably a manatee, but hey). Further adding to his conviction was that the tracks kept reappearing, up and down the coast; though mostly confined to Pinellas County, there were tracks found everywhere from Sarasota to Cedar Key, over the course of about a decade, a level of dedication surely beyond even the most committed local hoaxer.

Anyway, in the 80s, the St. Petersburg Times figured out that a guy made 30-pound iron replicas of a dinosaur footprint that appeared in National Geographic. He then strapped them to his feet, waded onshore at night, walked a few miles onshore, and then waded back out to where his buddies picked him up in their boat. One of his friends was the pilot who saw the creature offshore, several of his friends called in fake reports, and the tracks on the banks of the Suwannee appeared while he was staying with a friend in the area. The local cops never really believed it was real, but dutifully cataloged every sighting—turns out a local monster can be really great for tourism.

Just as it is important to let them know when you disapprove of their actions, it is important to let them know when they are supported.

like there’s literally nothing in there. if you put it in a saucepan and let it reduce, you’d come back to nothing but a thin layer of starch in the pot and a foggy kitchen
