How to Handle an Encounter with a Giant Squid

A very giant squid

Calamari anyone?

You know what really makes me want to plunge? Giant Squid. Not because they have the biggest eyes in the animal kingdom or because their wieners (slang for penis) are 3 feet long. Nope, all of that stuff is just fine and dandy.

The problem is that giant squid make the worst possible usage of their suction cups. These guys could climb a building, play outfield for the Yankees, or even hold-up that soap tray in the shower that keeps falling. Instead, they float around their entire life, never to be employed as a plumber. With eight tentacles and hundreds of suctions cups, they could easily unclog thousands of toilets daily and contribute to the economy. You would think evolution would lead them down this path – you know survival of the fittest – because who’s going to eat a squid after it spends the day in clogged toilets. Of course, I guess that point is moot since we do presently dump sewage into the oceans and enjoy our calamari anyways…

How the Rhombus is Destroying the Porn Industry

A very interesting rhombus

This is a very interesting rhombus!

You know what really makes me want to plunge? No, not clogged toilets… Antonella Barba not winning American Idol. Not because she had the talent to do so or because the media and American Idol took advantage of her unfortunate situation to selfishly boost their own ratings. That’s a part of life in the 21st century and we’re more than happy to accept it. I’m upset because actually taking the time to care about celebrity exploitation would mean having to follow up with caring about world poverty, child labour and other sorts of inequalities that plague the world.

I’m sorry, but I have better ways to spend my time than saving the world. I can look for wet t-shirt pictures on the internet. I can recite the alphabet backwards. I can juggle melons before they’re ripe because everyone knows dropping a ripe melon is way too messy. What I can’t do is stand idle, not while an idol’s banishment puts all of these favorite pastimes at risk. It’s time we take a stand, stand up for what we believe!

If we don’t start a petition now to bring back Antonella Barba, her moment of fame will be gone forever, or at least until the release of the next Girl’s Gone Wild DVD. If we wait that long to stand up for what’s right, the world as we know it could cease to exist. Already Google Trends have shown that more and more people are searching the Internet for the word “rhombus“. Do you know what a “rhombus” is? I’ll tell you what it’s not. It’s not the shape people should be searching for online if you know what I mean…

Do you want your children to grow up in a world where everyone cares more about inequality and geometry than pornography? Do your part to save our culture and the selfish egocentric bubble that helps us sleep at night. Bring back Antonella Barba!
