The RSS Feed is no longer sorted by the updated date — it’s now sorted on the original published date. I liked it the former way for awhile but now I like it the latter way. I’ve also fixed (again) the lastBuildDate so cross your fingers that your feed reader will do the right thing.
Comments are added to the main feed auto-magically as they appear and there’s a new feed solely for them.
I, for one, welcome our new XML overlords.

A Convincing Argument That ‘The Walking Dead’ And ‘Toy Story’ Are One And The Same
Small town sheriff. Weird looking kid wearing an oversized hat. Outsider arrives and shakes things up. The dead come to life. I’m, of course, talking about Toy Story, Pixar’s 1995 film that gave the studio enough clout to eventually make Cars 2 (thank GOD). I suppose the same plot summary could be used for AMC’s The Walking Dead, two dots that Redditor “JimmyLegs50” connected to make a mashup of the movie and zombie series.
You’ve probably already seen this because of the awesome-factor it holds. If not, you’re in for a treat.
Jump to the imgur page if ya want but the site is flaky at best right now.
I need to re-configure the RSS feed. I don’t like it.

Found: Africa’s Oldest Penguins: Scientific American
Penguin fossils from 10 million to 12 million years ago have been unearthed in South Africa, the oldest fossil evidence of these cuddly, tuxedoed birds in Africa.
The new discovery, detailed in the March 26 issue of the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, could shed light on why the number of penguin species plummeted on Africa’s coastline from four species 5 million years ago to just one today — Spheniscus demersus, or the jackass penguin, known for their donkeylike calls.
jimi, I thought of you when I read this. Not because you’re a jackass but because I know how sensitive them guys are.

The 11 Geekiest Tattoos Ever Inked
There are plenty of Hitchhiker’s Guide tattoos, but I have yet to see one as perfectly humorous and complexly obscure to those who haven’t read the series.
The one above is my favorite from this set. Also check out more tattooeys from Mental Floss:
Rinse until the water's clear.
Finally hung up my Battlestar Galactica posters in the stairwell after the epic paint last Spring.

Iraq War vet pens ‘last letter’ to Bush and Cheney
From the blog The Lookout: An Iraq War veteran who joined the U.S. Army two days after 9/11 has written a powerful open letter to former President George W. Bush and ex-Vice President Dick Cheney accusing them of war crimes, “plunder” and “the murder of thousands of young Americans—my fellow veterans—whose future you stole.” Tomas Young, who was shot and […]
I haven’t had the pleasure of fwd’ing one of these in several years. My best years were fueled by the Bush regime. Those years were the beginning of the end. Two point Two Trillion and 70% of the casualties were civilians. And we’re no safer. And the republican crowd had the nerve to be shocked/offended that we were still here and still aware. As opposed to the Republican motto: “I Don’t Know and I Don’t Care”.
