You know, I can play some chords on a guitar, but there is a fundamental genetic handicap where I have trouble coordinating both of my hands at the same time. That’s why I can play bass guitar, but I can’t do guitar riffs to save my soul. Brodie Cumming, however, can. And does.

Because I’m a sucker for information, here’s a handy guide to mythical creatures as expressed as a Venn Diagram.

This handy chart shows you in rather stark details about what drives politicians. It’s not about public service; it’s all about power.

…but if I had to have one, it’d be something as utterly nifty as this bike is.

I love cut and paste from old Victorian-style art, especially if it’s almost as cool as The Diamond Age. This is just funny, though.

Now that I have this handy-dandy table, I don’t need no stinkin’ character development! I’m just waiting for the Rock-Scissors-Paper version of the chart.

Not that I have a list, but I’m sure it doesn’t include places where monkeys steal alcohol. But I’d love to learn to play steel drums. They sound cool, except when a drunk monkey steals the mallets and begins to play Harry Belafonte tunes.

Video games and your favorite frothy substance. Should the two go together? Who knows? But at least now you can answer the question with The Arkeg. I’d settle for a nice MAME cabinet myself.

How I love your accuracy.
