Posted in: Today's Chili

New York Times’ iPad Air Ad Juxtaposed Against MH370 News, Causes EmbarrassmentThe Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak had announced that Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 can be assumed beyond all reasonable doubt that it crash landed in the Indian Ocean, with no survivors from the 239 people who were on board the ill fated flight.

    Disney Characters Meet The Walking Dead: The Walking Disney

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    Anyone out there that has kids has probably seen more Disney movies than you care to see. We certainly watch more than our share of cartoon films around my house. I happen to prefer The Walking Dead.

    I’ve never wondered exactly what a Disney princess and her man would look like if they were to have to fight the zombie hoard. Artist Kasami-Sensei has though and we end up with these blood spattered Disney girls and guys.

    I recognize the characters from a few of the images, like the girls from Frozen and Mulan. Some weren’t quite as obvious – like Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie. We have seen the some of the Disney characters as zombies in the past, but killing zombies is certainly better than being a zombie.

    How Global Warming Is Dissolving Sea Life (And What We Can Do About It)

    The last time Earth’s oceans were this acidic, a six mile-wide sulphur-rich space rock had just smashed into the Yucatan Peninsula, unleashing a deluge of acid rain that exterminated all sea life in the the top 400 meters of the water column.
