The Carnival of Craziness

Aaaaaaaaaand...The Carnival of Craziness BEGINS!

Ooops, that sounded horrible!

OK - here's another try!

Folks! People! Aliens! The Carnival of Craziness is up and running!

Oh No! This is worse!

Well, Maybe I'd better put in a nice old-fashioned, warm, and traditional introductory line...

HI! HELLO! WELCOME TO THE CARNIVAL of CRAZINESS!!!!!

(Now don't you dare tell me that sounds bad!!)

And so this carnival has started off with a Big Bang (yeah, I know it sounds familiar, but so what?), and the First Category, which the horribly biased King of Clowns has put first as he likes it the most (hee hee hee, do I love feeding my ego!) is:

Simply Crazy

Friday's Child, the world-famous and incredibly popular bloger(ess) has provided us with a view of something astounding in the form of her 19th Wordless Wednesday- I'm NOT going to tell you - go check it out yourself :-D Something Creepy!!!! (WW#19) posted at Friday's Child

Madeleine Begun Kane presents Wine Tasting Robots, Oh My! posted at Mad Kane's Humor Blog

Note to Madeline: I know you submitted two articles, but they were both from madkane.com, so I couldn't put both of them as it would have been terribly unfair to the other participants. But you can submit the left-out article for the next Carnival!

Al Nye has given a marvellous submission - Oh!! Its great!! Gotta Go Briefcase posted at Al Nye The

Andrew Ho gives an informative-yet-funny post on his face getting 'Celebritized' - Your Face Celbritized posted at The Daily Blog with Andrew Ho

Toby Boyce has given a passionate, emotional post on What is Wrong With People? through Sadie's Take

And as for the Third Category, which His Craziness has decided to refer to as

A lovely poem by him: Two of Me

Another poem by him: Weatherman

Gun Sculpturing...

In Cambodia they have found the most uniqute method to get rid of the weapons. After the war ended in Cambodia in 1998 over 160,000 light weapons were collected for destruction by the joint effort of the Royal Cambodian Government and the EU Assistance program.

Getting citizens to part with the built-up hoard of guns has generated campaigns such as the "flame of peace" in which weapons are publicly destroyed to raise awareness. Now with the Peace Art Cambodia project, some of those weapons are being diverted to a project to unleash the creativity of artists whose experience with the history of their raw materials lends a poignancy to the concept of recycling.

Thirteen Little Known Holidays

February 2nd - Duck-Billed Platypus Day: Not only do they look incredibly odd, they're also the world's only venomous mammal. What could be better? So, stick a duck-bill on your face, attach some poisonous spines to your ankles, and go nuts. Of course, if you did the first two, number three is probably already covered.

February 14th - Horned Lizard Day: For those of us who find Valentine's Day an appallingly saccharine and pointless holiday based entirely on superficial expressions of fraudulent love, Horned Lizard Day provides an opportunity to disorient our friends and loved ones with cheerful comments about interesting reptiles. Are you tired of Valentine's Day's hopelessly tooth-rotting sentimentality? Sick of supporting the flower and candy industries with hollow gestures of false affection? Does the color pink send you into fits of psychotic rage? Then celebrate something worth celebrating - celebrate Horned Lizard Day! I send Horned Lizard Day cards to my friends on this important occasion, both to spread happiness and to let them know what interesting animals horned lizards are. I feel that there is no better way to celebrate the 14th of February than with an animal that squirts blood from a sinus behind its eyes when threatened. See the dramatic struggle.

February 20th - Honey Creeper Memorial Day: Honey Creepers were these nifty little birds with long, curved beaks that lived among the Hawaiin Islands. Alas, Honey Creepers are now extinct. I encourage everyone to donate some time or money to the preservation of the dwindling population of our world's endangered species - and not just today, either.

February 22nd - Parsley Day: Acknowledge the world's greatest garnish by handing it out to total strangers in the street! Wander into fast food restaurants, walk up to the patrons, and offer to spice up the appearance of their boring meals with a sprig of festive green. Visit your friends and bestow upon them the gift of garnish. If no one will accept your offerings, you can always adorn your table with an elegant vase of nice fresh parsley, brightening the room and letting eveyone know what a keen grasp of culinery decor you have.

March 23rd - Tulip Shell Snail Day: Okay, so most of you probably couldn't care less about a snail, but I think snails are nifty. Besides, all of the calendar's other listings for March are pretty boring - stuff like Ospreys, Molerats, Avocados, Corn, Long Horn Beetles, and so on. If you really need another March holiday and you don't like this one, I encourage you to make up your own.

April 11th - Red Wolf Day: I really like wolves. I have several wolf calendars, a few plush wolves, and the Folkmanis Big Bad Wolf puppet. Obviously then, I think that Red Wolf Day is worth celebrating. If you're more inclined to celebrate days that will confuse your friends, just wait until Ladel Day.

April 12th - Hermit Crab Day: Okay, so it's only a day away from Red Wolf Day - is this supposed to be my fault? I didn't make up the calendar and I didn't decide what order to put the pages in. Anyway, hermit crabs are really cool. Whenever I visit the New England Aquarium I go to visit the little tanks of poor, tormented animals that children can handle...I pity the poor things. Anyway, I stop to say "hi" to the hermit crabs, and I'm much gentler and friendlier than the children are. I haven't been for ages...I wonder if they miss me.

May 9th - International Sloth Day: Though November 19th is the official day for the sloth according to my calendar, I've been told by a reader of this page that they previously established May 9th to be International Sloth Day. I've got nothing against celebrating the sloth twice a year, or you can choose whichever one you desire. Just don't celebrate too actively, or you'll defeat the whole purpose of Sloth Day in the first place.

May 23rd - The Defenestration of Prague: This is an actual date in history, which warrants note whether you care about the actual event or not. On May 23, 1618, in Prague, a few royal officials were thrown out a window of Hradcany Castle by some noblemen, but survived the fall by landing in a cart full of manure.
More importantly, defenstration is easily one of the most totally underused words in the English language. For those who are unaware, it means "the act of throwing something or someone out of a window." The date for this event also falls on an extremely Illuminated day of the year, 5/23, which incorporates both the Discordian number 5 and our old friend 23. Fnord.

May 25th - Towel Day: Towel Day celebrates the life and work of Douglas Adams, who championed the many uses of the towel in his book series/movie/radio series/movie/tv movie/breakfast cereal, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Carry your towel proudly. For more information, search Google or stop by this handy Towel Day site or even the Wikipedia entry.

June 23rd - Ladel Day: Okay, I'm not to blame for this one. I believe its exact origins are probably lost to the mists of time and history, but that's okay.
On this auspicious occasion, one should have a ladel on one's person at all times. Celebrants should refrain from eating with any normal utensils, and instead use a ladel. This can make eating a real challenge in the case of many foods. If you spot someone carrying a ladel, you are encouraged to jump up and down and wave yours in the air. This will probably alarm those around you, but that's a pretty common part of any of these holidays, so I wouldn't worry about it.

July 10th - Hatchetfish Day: In addition to being a truly interesting shape, hatchetfish also produce a dim glow directed downwards, eliminating the silhouette predators would otherwise see from below. Celebrants may choose to walk around with a flashlight pointed at the ground. If questioned about it, tell people that it's to keep you safe from the bigger fish.

November 22nd - Wormwood Day: Although this is another day drawn from the calendar, you're welcome to celebrate this day according to its apocalyptic significance. Perhaps we could all simply act grateful that the world hasn't ended yet? We could all come together in the spirit of mutual cooperation and strive to make the world a better place! Then again, maybe not.

The Crazy Solar System!!!

Olympus Mons (on Mars) is the largest Volcanic mountain in the Solar System. It is 600 km across and 27 km high! And you thought Mount Everest (about 8 and a half km high) was tall!

<--Olympus Mons

A Supernova explosion produces more energy in its first ten seconds than the Sun during the whole of its 10 billion year lifetime and that for a brief period, it creates more energy than the rest of a galaxy put together!!

The comet with the longest ever recorded tail is the Great Comet of 1843. Its tail stretched over 800 million kilometres! This is about the same distance the Earth is from Jupiter!

The path of the Moon's orbit around the Earth would fit easily inside the Sun.

Although the Apollo astronauts did use a special zero-gravity pen in the late 1960s, it is an urban myth that NASA spent millions of dollars trying to develop a pen that worked in space while the Russians used a pencil.

Astronauts get taller when they’re in space.

Uranus was originally named George, in honour of King George III of Britain.

Neptune was the first planet in our solar system to be discovered by mathematics.

Just a pinhead of the Sun's raw material could kill someone up to 160 kilometres away!

Jupiter's magnetic field is so massive that it pours billions of Watts into Earths magnetic field every day!
