"Perhaps we are 'sell outs' as we put fashion aside for the sake of our profession, but I like to see these 'corporate Goths' as being intelligent enough to know when to adapt to one's surroundings to take advantage of the benefits the mundane world can offer. After all, looks alone does not make a Goth."

"Until the day you die and your soul is mine, your body is yours. Just as my government will not take the lives of our citizens, it will also give up the right to control our bodies. When I become president, the government will no longer tell you what you can or cannot consume..."

"Send naked women into battle."

You can kill each other with whatever weaponry you want, but in the long run, your ass still belongs to me."

"...we're dedicated to bringing consumers healthy, certified organic animals at wholesale prices. Whether you're getting a pet lizard for your son or a dozen Doberman flank steaks for a SuperBowl party, you won't find lower priced animals anywhere else that are better suited for Pets or Food..."

"My most recent exhibition came to me in a dream as I rode the subway. I imagined everyone on the subway as floating faces guided by the motion of the train. This oddly comical vision was the inspiration for "SWARM", an interactive installation where scores of strange insect like creatures, made from doll parts, floated and bounced throughout the gallery."

"Oddly enough, one thing Israel and Lebanon actually have in common besides hurling artillery at each other is that they've produced some pretty solid society-hating Black Metal as of late."

"Snipes plays Kaos [in the in-production film, Gallowwalker], the mysterious son of a nun who breaks her oath to ensure his survival. Kaos is a killer, but his mother's act brings a curse that re-animates the bodies of his victims, and naturally what they'd like is revenge. What goes around, comes around, and soon there's a zombie gang after him. Kaos gets help, though, in the form of a warrior sidekick named Fabulos."

"8. Mortiis, Smell of Rain (see accompanying photo #1)
Not quite black metal - more like elf folk metal. Mortiis looks like a Lord of the Rings extra taking a break before they shot the Helm's Deep battle. What a fucking goof. And you know five minutes before this picture, he was in his shitty car applying his own makeup, yelling at the photographer in Finnish, or Elvish, 'Hold on! My ears aren't sticking!'"

A) Beautiful
B) Hysterical
C) Confusing

"Anna was the first to experience strange things. The girl put the skull near her bed before going to sleep. Anna said that she dreamed of the life of Indians who had lived thousands years ago, and the girl could describe the dream in detail...strange dreams haunted the girl each time she had the skull near her bed. New dreams brought more new details about the life of Indians, details unknown even to scientists."

"First, art critic Frank Dordland started investigating the strange skull. After a closer investigation, he discovered that the skull had a complicated system of lenses, prisms, and channels, creating unusual optical effects. The investigator was surprised to discover no signs of processing on the skull's perfectly polished surface. They couldn't be seen even with a microscope. Frank Dordland even addressed Hewlett-Packard, the famous company that specialized in crystal oscillators at that time, for a competent examination of the crystal.

The results were shocking not only for the scientist himself. The research by Hewlett-Packard in 1964 in a special laboratory revealed that the skull had been made long before the first civilizations appeared in that part of America where the skull was found. In addition, rock crystal of such perfect quality couldn't be found in that area. The most amazing thing was that the ancient skull weighing 5.13 kg, 203.4 mm long and 125.4 wide had been made of a whole crystal. This fact contradicted the laws of physics."

"A kind of a prism was found at the back bottom of the skull; any ray of light that strikes the eye-sockets is reflected there. If you look into the eye-sockets, you may see the whole room reflected."

"Hillbillies
Movies: The Hills Have Eyes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, House of Wax, Motel Hell, House of 1000 Corpses
It's really unfair to assume every person who lives in a dilapidated shack, at the bottom of a hill, with no teeth, bare feet, one eye, a bunch of rotting chicken carcasses instead of a carpet, and a lampshade made of human skin is some kind of weirdo. Erase the hate, people."

"One stall will house the CRANK GHOST and the cubby hole between stalls will be where LOTHAR the two headed dragon sits."

"Katy and Austin work on burying the mattress in the SWAMP ROOM. They did such a good job! Everytime we walked in there we heard -- "Oh Sh*t!" because people kept forgetting it was in there! It really does feel like you're walking in a swamp!"

"You can see in these pics that we've already put the carpeting down in the BLOODY BRIDE room..."

"Starting next week, in the unlikeliest of places, a real witch school will open its doors to the public in a place known as the Sweet Corn Capital of the World.

After almost five years of existence on the Internet, Witch School is expected to operate under normal business hours in the town of Hoopeston, Ill., about 100 miles south of Chicago.

The school is dedicated to educating the public in Wicca, a neo-Pagan religion that incorporates nature and magic into its theology. Until now the school has existed almost entirely on the Internet."

TIM: Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

TIM: Well, that's no ordinary rabbit.
ARTHUR: Ohh.
TIM: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on.
ROBIN: You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!

TIM: He's got huge, sharp-- eh-- he can leap about-- look at the bones!
ARTHUR: Go on, Bors. Chop his head off!
BORS: Right! Silly little bleeder. One rabbit stew comin' right up!
[ Rabbit flies at Bors' throat and savages him to death ]
ROBIN: I done it again!
TIM: I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it? Well, it's always the same. I always tell them--
ARTHUR: Oh, shut up!
TIM: Do they listen to me?

"Geek Dead Thing of the Day: The technology called WebDAV is short for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning"; basically, it's an alternative to ftp for file transfer (see webdav.org). Of course, for the true geek that wants a Unix command-line way of doing WebDAV, there's a solution. It's called "cadaver". It's not brains-in-a-can, but if this isn't ILDT-worthy, what is?"

"...and when Barbadian coastguard officers boarded it, they made a gruesome find. The boat's phantom crew was made up of the desiccated corpses of 11 young men, huddled in two separate piles in the small cabin."
