Carnival of the Absurd!!! Enjoy.

Chose your own adventure.
Remember those books you used to read in elementary school where you got to choose what happened and flip to a certain page? Well this is an online version of it. It’s a bit absurd and over the top because you are allowed to make additions to the list of options and people are dumb. And the outcome is less than satisfying. But it’s amusing to read what people have suggested as “paths.”

Ghost Riding.
Amusing video. Stupid teenagers. Glad I’m not one anymore.

Arab island resorts are reshaping geography (MSNBC.com).
A cool story about a collection of 300 man-made islands off the United Arab Emirates intended to look like the world when completed in 2008.

From the WoW Forums, a true story of how an iPod turned into a terrorist device. Its really quite amusing, and a testament to how absurd all of these security measures are. Get the gist of the story, or the whole thing.

Rox Eyes.
Masks printed with eyes on the outside for wear while sleeping during long distance travel that create the illusion of a wide-awake state. Pretty freaky looking if you ask me. But with all the traveling I’ve been doing, I think it’d be fun to acquire one. It is so much cooler than my navy blue silk sleep mask!

Vegas closing 24-hour marriage office (Yahoo! News).
You’re not allowed to get married after midnight in Vegas anymore. County officials agreed to close down their all-night marriage license counter. So if it’s 2:45 a.m. and you’re feeling wedding-ish, you’ll just have to wait until the morning. We suggest using this time to carefully think about your decision while playing the Back to the Future slot game.

Cupcake and muffin electric cars at Buring Man.
What better way to get around the dry desert than in a cupcake or muffin car? I don’t really care about the back story or the reason for their creation, I am just greatly amused by these little cars. They make me chuckle. I’d chase after one just to get a taste too!

Is your toddler heavier than Nicole Richie?
Well that’s a disturbing question. I think my left thigh weighs more than she does. And it looks better than she does too.

Wigs for dogs.
That’s a little much people. They already have bags and clothing, expensive collars and designer treats, now wigs?! Puhlease.

Another story about dogs via Doug: Woman crashes when teaching dog to drive (Yahoo! News).
Duh, that’s a dumb idea.

OK! That is enough!
