Stormbringer's Thunder

Starring Richard Dawkins, Sam "Ben Stiller" Harris, Charles Darwin, and everybody's hero, Piltodown Superman!

This was in my fortune cookie, so it must be true!

...but we're done with dates like these for a long, long time.  Edit: Ashamed to admit that I wasn't able to use Firefox for this. Anyway, I had this clock running, took a screen shot at the right second, pasted into Paint, saved as a JPEG, uploaded, posted — all within the remaining 48 seconds so this post would happen on 12-12-2012. Just to see if I could do it. What an unimportant success!

The Most Interesting Man in the World has a comment about evolution to share:

This is what showed up on my site tracker: I thought that maybe people finally got the message long ago... It shows up in their own search results, and what do they do? Click anyway! And there are plenty of other choices. Take a look at what the Yahoo searcher would see (as well as the Google searcher, I've checked that as well): Click for larger

As a review: "Strange Searches" is my term for those things that show up in my site thingie. It shows how someone got to the site, and what search terms they used (if any), and their search engine. Sometimes people just use key words that resemble an actual sentence but seem funny to read, other times, people really do search for something that I consider strange. And sometimes, people want me to see what they put together so they can get their prank on the page, but that trick usually fails. Here is something that made me wonder. I'll let you do some imagining:

Some people didn't believe in my awesomeness, but here's proof. It was in my Chinese fortune cookie: There ya go, Sunshine! Actually, the Chinese fortune cookie is not even Chinese . If you give one to someone in China, you'll be asked why there's paper in it.

Buon giorno. I tried to keep things under wraps, but it is so  difficult to keep a secret when several people are involved. (It's been rightly said that "three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead".) My action-adventure biographical movie will be released in time for the Christmas rush of 2012. It's called "Stormbringer: Adventures of an Obstreperous Cowboy Apologist". Obviously, you're all thrilled at the news. Christian Bale will play me, Ernie the Gambler is played by Chris Hemsworth, Hal the Hacker is played by David Tennant, Nicky will play himself (he's photogenic, better with firearms than any stunt actor, and the girls love him). Actresses include Mila Kunis, Angelina Jolie, Famke Janssen and others. It'll be worth your time and money, capice? Here's the source of this jocularity:

Buon giorno. It's time for a spot of fun. I'm going to speculate and play with words. "What's with the Samhain, boss? We're nowhere near Halloween." Because it's not actually a Halloween post, Ernie. Hey, where's Nicky? "Him and Lela went to see that guy about that thing you told them to." Oh, right. Annotated screenshot of a Google map. Click for larger. Quite a few people don't know that "Samhain" is not the name of the guy in the billiards parlor. It's an important occultists' holiday (witches, druids, Satanists and that sort of thing), and is most commonly pronounced SOW-en. Here, pig pig pig! Another pronunciation is so (long "O", as in "So what?") -WEEN. Best wishes with those. The city in the map is Halesowen. It also has an odd pronunciation, sounds like " Hail Zowen ". Blending the Celtic pronunciations on Samhain to get SO-wen, and you can get "Hail, Samhain"
