Goat eyes. [Kermit and Cephalopods included.]
Identifying Goat Eye Syndrome
If a researcher is unsure about whether or not a subject has GES, follow this simple test:
1. Stare in the animal’s eyes. Do you feel as though you are looking at a completely alien life form, one that cannot be influenced by reason or any known persuasion or impetus? Do you feel as though you are staring into the cold, infinite depths of the void, and the void, in turn, is marking you for its own? Do you think it probable Nietzsche was driven mad not by syphilis but by the unrelenting horror captured in this gaze? If so, the beast in question probably has GES.
2. Does the gaze of the animal make you sweat blood and speak in backwards Latin? If so, the beast in question probably has GES.
3. Does the gaze of the creature cause stroke, cardiac arrest, or other vascular distress? If so, the creature probably has GES.
4. Do the creature’s eyes give a feeling of drowning, strangulation, or cold and clammy death? If so, the creature is probably an octopus, and is wrapping you in its tentacles. In this case, grab the tail of a passing swordfish and use it to cut your way loose.

Living on a Prayer Jumbotron
I think the above video is best because you can hear the crowd's reaction, but below is the jumbotron vid with much better video and sound quality so you can really see this guy win at life (but you can't hear the crowd's reaction).
And if that's not winning at life, then I'd rather lose.

A little self-promotion
In Korea, one thing you may notice is that all the cars are black, white or gray, and rarely foreign. Kia, Daewoo and Hyundai are as pervasive as kimchi. Few are the cars with color in their coat, and few are the cars manufactured outside Korea. Rarer still, is the epic switch-hitting combo of a car that is both colored and foreign. To honor these few brave individuals, I'm compiling a Flickr set showcasing as many cars as I can find and photograph.
First, please follow the above photo back to it's photo page and check it out in large size, so you can really see that there are no colorful cars in that parking lot. I'm not joking about this. Anyway, Koreans are strange and here's one more of the weird things about this country. I apologize for my inability to truly show just how colorless rush hour is here, but someday I'll get a better photo.
If you want, check out the Flickr set.

Guess his goons are trying to erase it from the webs.

This is what Koreans think about Americans...
On my vacation trip around Korea, we took a ferry ride from Busan to Jeju island. The ferry had a big board with a map on it and major places had a picture of a person from that country. Most of them were cultural and decent, for example a Japanese person in a kimono, or something like that. This is what they had for US.

That periodical contained neither guns nor ammo
Read it and more at Strange Horizons (http://www.strangehorizons.com/2009/20090713/dinosaurs-f.shtml)They got on the local news.
INTERVIEWER: Nice racing.
DINOSAUR RACER 1: Thanks.

INTERVIEWER: I thought your people came from Mars.
DINOSAUR RACER 2: The Atlantis basin, yes, on Mars.
INTERVIEWER: What brings you to Tampa?
DINOSAUR RACER 1: We came to do high-speed stunts in double gravity.
INTERVIEWER: So how do you like Earth?
DINOSAUR RACER 1: Well, it's not as awesome as Mars—
DINOSAUR RACER 2: My friend means to say that Earth is very awesome, but sometimes we get homesick.
INTERVIEWER: How intelligent are dinosaurs?
DINOSAUR RACER 2: We're probably not going to win any prizes, but if you think about it, neither are you.

We had one of these at the northwest corner of Regent & Randall. They took it down a long time ago. I shit you not, the US Postal Service installed a bunch of mailboxes painted like R2D2 all over the country. You used to be able to get more information at http://uspsjedimaster.com. But no longer. Nobody can get into that site, not anymore. Who writes a website address on a mail-carrying robot anyway? The R2D2 mailbox is now in the realm of conspiracy theorists. And those with a keen long-term memory for the unusual. I found this picture on someone's flikr page here. Oh how I wish I had dropped a fat package in R2D2's analog input port when I had the chance.
Hotheaded Naked Ice Borer
I remember very clearly my sixth grade science teacher reading to us an article in Discover Magazine that excitedly discussed a new species of rodent discovered in the Arctic (pictured). It could heat the bizarre bulb on it's head to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing it to burrow into thick layers of ice. They would create a soupy quicksand of ice and water, into which prey would fall, only to be consumed by dozens of these hungry creatures waiting hungrily below. It speculated that a famous explorer who mysteriously disappeared in 1837 had fallen victim to these unusual creatures.
Well, this blew us all away. After some further research, however, our science teacher realized that the entire thing was a hoax. She in fact stumbled on an article about it in a different magazine, which detailed how zoo curators and biologists wrote into Discover Magazine to try to obtain a specimen. In fact, Discover Magazine received more mail about this article than anything else in its history. They never published a story to let everyone know that it had been a hoax. And that explorer who may have been eaten by Hotheaded Naked Ice Borers? He never existed.
My teacher, naturally, did not want to admit that she had been fooled. But she couldn't let all her students go around thinking there was such thing as a hotheaded naked ice borer that could heat its head to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
I don't think I've ever seen someone so angry as when she stood in front of our class and admitted that it was a hoax. Miss Bares, if you're out there reading this, that was some funny ass shit.
