RIP Frank Buckles, The Last US Veteran of World War 1.

in craziest shit ever, fnord

Share Frank Buckles died recently. He served in France, in WWI. He was taken captive by the Japanese during WWII (as a civilian, even) and he even rode on the Carpathia (the ship that came to Titanic’s rescue).  However, his biggest claim to fame is living until the age of 110 (damn!) and being the [...]

You Say That It’s Gospel, But I Know It’s Only Church.

in fnord, wisdom

ShareEntropy’s a bitch. I have started writing again. It’s neat. It’s creaky, rusty, and the leather’s all dried out, but I think the old girl might have some life in her. This pleases me, and scares me a little. It’s been a long time since I just went for it. Charlie Brown and the Football [...]

in Coolest Shit Ever, craziest shit ever, fnord

ShareThis guy is awesome. He is a DIY  solar enthusiast, YouTube Channel owner, and budding super villain. His name is Eric Jacqmain, and he is super badass. He took a satellite dish, 5800 mirrors, and a wagon, and created a solar death ray. Archimedes made one a couple thousand years ago, and he was a [...]

Wisdom From The Great(ly missed) Robert Anton Wilson Wisdom. Fnord, Uncle Bob. I love you.

in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, Robert Anton Wilson, wisdom

ShareRIP, RAW Guerilla Ontology’s Shining Star It’s been entirely too long since I’ve lauded Robert Anton Wilson. He’s the reason Youdopia exists, online, and inside. Robert Anton Wilson seems to function in spacetime, as a hub for myriad similar, yet tangential paths of wisdom, knowledge, and humor. Genius laughs. Greed Grimaces.Democracy Dodders.

Guess What Song Is In My Head?

in fnord, music

ShareI love this song. I love the album from which this song originates. I don’t know if I love Kanye West, because the only album of his I have is Graduation. I love fish sticks too. Does that make me a gay fish? I’m the genius voice of a generation (X), just like Kanye.  This [...]

RIP Kenneth Mars. Inspector Kemp From Young Frankenstein Has Left Us.

in craziest shit ever, fnord, humor

ShareI am sad to hear of the death of Kenneth Mars. He was really funny in everything he did. He was great as Otto on Malcolm in the Middle, and he was insanely good as Inspector Kemp, in Young Frankenstein.  Rest In Peace, Kenneth Mars.

This Boy Was Born With No Cerebellum, Or Pons, And Yet He Lives, Walks, Sings… Craziest Thing Ever.

in craziest shit ever, fnord

Share This is neato, Youdopia. Young Chase Britton, is three years old, and although a bit behind, developmentally, he’s alive and aware. He also has no cerebellum. That’s the part of the brain that does (almost) everything. Balance, emotions, and motor skills. He’s also missing the part of the Medula that controls breathing (the pons) [...]

Free Live Music Download – Led Zeppelin In Copenhagen 1971

in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, music

ShareThis is a very special Led Zeppelin show, Youdopia. This is one of the only (maybe the only) live performance of Four Sticks, and Gallows Pole. I’m talking Led Zeppelin, not the later versions played by Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, during their Page/Plant tours. You don’t much better than Zeppelin in 1971. Robert Plant’s [...]
