1. Hooray for Hellboy!

2. Heard an interesting story on Radio 1 Newsbeat this morning; apparently a survey revealed that some people believe Hitler is a fictional character, and others think that the battles of Helm's Deep and Endor (!) were real. They didn't give actual figures, and I've been unable to find the source article, but it's still appalling that even one person would think that. Hopefully they were taking the piss.

[UPDATE: Found, sort of ... while this isn't the actual report (or the actual survey, either), the Results page has more details on the findings of the survey.]

3. Comedy Goldmine! (courtesy of jewelstar93) My favourites are BRAINS, STUPID TENT and MAGENTA ALERT. MOTHRA AIRSTRIKE gets points for trying, and I cannot move on without making mention of the ACE of BASE. Lifetime Achievement award: the THREE of DRUNKEN BITCHES.

The world is drowning in scallies

Obviously the people they interviewed never went/ go to school. Morons. Unless they are joking but somehow I fear not.

there is always the option "they are americans" then it all makes sense

Wow, they'd have to be Americans without TVs, at least, wouldn't they?

I mean, I overestimate my own kinfolk on occasion, but "Hitler" gets thrown around as a hyperbolic comparison with some frequency around these parts.

For a split second I read that wrong, and I thought, "now why would Mormons be less likely to attend or finish school?"
