Incidentals (category archive)
Bruce Edwards Ivins (April 22, 1946 — July 29, 2008), was a scientist for 36 years and senior biodefense researcher at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in Fort Detrick, Maryland for 18 years. In July 2008 he reportedly committed suicide just as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was about to charge him with a crime and seek the death penalty for his alleged connection to the 2001 anthrax attacks, which killed five people and made 17 ill and terrorized the whole nation.
That’s the current opening paragraph for the Bruce Edwards Ivins article on Wikipedia and there’s nothing strange about it, unlike the image which accompanied when I checked it out earlier today:
As far as I can tell, an editor was WP:POINTing by adding this picture because fair use was disputed on an image he was trying to add to the article, but whatever. It’s a triumph, just like the uploader’s comment asserting it’s an “artistic interpretation of Bruce Edwards Ivins”.
Guernsey’s parliament is called ‘The States of Deliberation’. I like that.
Also, my favourite entry on the Schmidt Sting Pain Index:
2.0 Yellowjacket: Hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.
What am I talking about, you ask? The terrorist attack infobox on Wikipedia has a field for listing the “attack type”—aircraft attack, car bombing, that kind of thing; or, in the case of the Wall Street bombing, horse-drawn wagon bombing.
Goddamn fascist elephant.
“Calendars have long been held as suspect in Lynchburg, Tennessee, just like suffrage for women and negroes.”
Humour and Incidentals
The not-quite-as-brilliant sequel to the best caption on Wikipedia is this transcription: “Goma’s face goes through four distinct expressions in under five seconds: shocked realisation; blind terror; crafty resolve and his best “Guy Kewney” face.”
Humour and Incidentals
Unlike most things they do, I don’t have a problem with that. Curiously though, co-founder Ingrid Newkirk says she got into the whole animal rights movement because she was shocked to find out that some kittens she took to an animal shelter were put down.
