Facebook Avertising: doing something right


I would just like to let the world know that the following came up in the advertising on my facebook today. They sure got me pegged.

I should be so lucky one day

Y'all should be very concerned about zombies getting married. It is an erosion of the scantity of marriage. Marriage is between two consulting adults, who are not reanimated courpses. However, technically this video depicts actors, playing zombies, getting engaged. So it's not so bad. In fact, it's downright adorable. Not, however, as adorable as the same couple's zombie wedding cake. Courtsey of Neatorama.

Picnik

I've plugged Picnick before but I just wanted to let you all know that it's even more awesome now then it was before and is offering even more zombie photo editing tools. Including no less than 6 distinct zombie flesh tones!
I tried to use Picnick in the off season (not October), and the zombifying option was under premium (pay) features. I'm now happy to report that this feature is currently available to everyone without making an account or paying. Here's what I was able to do in just a few minutes.


  I take a lot of enjoyment surprising my friends with zombified photos of them. If your persuasion leans more towards vampires, there's new tools for that too. enjoy! (Link)

Dear Vegetarian Spiders, we can be friends.

As I flip through my television stations this evening I found CNN running a story titled "Should we eat meat". The debate revolves around the risk of death or disfigurment from consumption of contaminated red meat. I have a lot of personal beliefs about this topic, as a vegetarian of 13 years myself.  My reasons for not participating in the consumption of meat have more to do with my own sense of morality, and less with the health benefits.


However, what I really want to talk about is vegetarian spiders.

BBC has this story running about one species of arachnid that are herbivores. Vegetarian spiders are interesting because they are unexpected. I've always had issues with spiders, but I think the number one reason they skive me out is their particularly violent method of obtaining nourishment. So I'm offering a open invitation to all the Bagheera Kipling of the world. You and me can be friends.


A brief search of the internet resulted in the discovery of this vegetarian lion. Cool, right?
