I'm not going to go nuts writing up a whole living will or anything, but in light of today's much-publicized events, I want the following to be noted:
In the the event that I am ever to be found in a persistent vegetative state, I would like my closest friends to unplug me from whatever I'm attached to and take my almost lifeless body down to the banks of the Hudson River, where they will load me onto a raft that they have crafted from driftwood, discarded soda bottles, and whatever other detritus they can find. Then, after setting fire to the raft, they'll push my floating funeral pyre in the direction of the Financial District. After five or ten minutes of this Viking Funeral bullshit, everyone chugs a 16 ounce Coors Light. The mourners will then head off to play miniature golf, where anyone who accidentally putts a ball off the course gets called a "Crealese" for the rest of the night.

This might be the coolest story I've read in a long time. Fantastic tale, well written... Good stuff. Have a look. Be sure to check the pictures. And if you have $5, $10, or $100 click the link at the bottom of each page.

I'm sure this was posted on Monkeyfilter or something, but I just came across a great bit of monkey commentary.
Dance, monkeys, dance
More or less safe for work, except the guy says "fuck" 3 times.

La and I stopped on a random radio station on the ride up from Philly on Sunday and discovered one of the best song names ever. Song #8 here. You can listen to a sample. It's bluegrass. It's a banjo. But it ain't half-bad.

The NHL draft will be cancelled. It goes from bad to worse.
Today's feel-good story. Also involves hockey. And Ray Bourque.

This board game would be a blast to play with six people. Poor sculpting skills are rewared (kinda). And I'm pretty sure La could turn it into a drinking game. Too bad it's not sold in any stores in New York yet.
There's a great white shark at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It's the first great white to have lived more than a few weeks in captivity. She's healthy, almost 6 feet long, and kicking the ass out of the other sharks in her tank. It's a fucking great white - what did they expect?

A fourth-hand hockey rumor:
To break the solidarity in the Players Association, the owners will offer say a $350,000 minimum contract with guaranteed $100,000 bonus the day you sign even if the lockout is resolved the next day. That's a big incentive for lower-level players to cross the picket line.

I was watching a documentary about Koko the Gorilla (a Christmas gift from Joy Rodd) while I was cooking this afternoon, and it got me thinking about Gorillas again. Koko the Gorilla is still alive and well, although her buddy Michael passed away a few years ago. A lot of the other great apes that were taught to sign decades ago are still alive, as well.
Some of the top Primatology nerds on the planet are now involved in a project called "ApeNet", which aims to allow Koko (gorilla), Chantek (orangutan), and Kanzi (Bonobo) to sign to each other from their separate enclosures through the miracle of the internet. Yeah, great idea, Eggheads. It's like they never saw the movie or something.
I'll be spending the rest of my Thursday evening learning the sign language for "Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape."
