CASE OF THE RUNAWAY SKULL

Ever tuned into Silent Running’s podcasts? You should do. They’re excellent. And, unlike certain victim’s heads, they never run away:

The victim’s head struck the floor and ran from the centre into Cairns railway station and escaped.

(Via J.F. Beck, who isn’t convinced that rising seas will devour small Pacific islands.)

  1. Yes, I have, since I discovered them last December.  Sad that “Tom Paine” is hanging it up.  I should have tipped.

  3. Well completely O/T but
    “People are going to be having sex with robots within five years.”  or so it says in this
    piece

  4. The victim’s head struck the floor and ran from the centre into Cairns railway station and escaped.

    The victim then put his hat on his neck and bicycled home.

  5. Much in the same vein as Wand’s O/T:

    Oiler’s lost - ROBBED!

    Question for Canadian readers:

    What do the officials treat the (actual) Stanley Cup with such white gloved reverence when it is just a glorified beer mug ( and treated as such by the players)?

    Also:  Can you please explain “Don Cherry”?

  7. OT
    My favorite Frenchwoman, Sabine Herold, has decided to run for the French Assembly, their Parliament’s lower house.  She has not ruled out standing for the Presidency next year (she is 25 the minimum age for the Presidency in France).  It’s about time France had Marianne for President.

    Vive Sabine!

  8. I’ve heard of “talking heads”, but “running heads”?

  9. I was wondering when a link to SNN would appear. A very excellent interview Mr Blair; made me giggle.

  10. UPDATE: Looks like its been corrected. It now reads:

    The victim’s head struck the floor and the attacker ran from the centre into Cairns railway station and escaped.

  11. I remember reading something in a book about a line from a 60s baseball broadcast along those lines (paraphrasing from memory:)

    “And it’s a long flyball deep to center field, the centerfielder is going back to the track… He hits his head against the wall!  It’s rolling back toward second base.  This is not a good thing for the Cubs…”

  13. “People are going to be having sex with robots within five years.”

    There are some long-marrieds out there convinced they’re having sex with robots right now (not that I would know from personal experience, mind you; I’m just guessing).

  14. From the Idaho Statesman

    A severed female head flew out of the truck Time was driving and fell onto the roadway when he crashed into the car. Police say the head is not from someone involved in the crash.

  15. Very Loose link to ‘Talking Heads’.
    Seven Aussies are of Croatian descent, so we will be able to swear at them very effectively, and maybe the ref. in two languages.
