Your usual Sunday "Pie and Chips" brought to you by Sam T. Gecko.

Here's the link for the details On the Effectiveness of Aluminum Foil Helmets: An Emperical Study. Sam posted this anonymously as a comment on the Seminole Heights blog.

Waste a few minutes on Improv Everywhere: Best Buy Mission. For more leads on insane hilarity, and more than a bit of the just plain strange, check in on the Houston Chronicle's MeMo blog. NPR listeners will know Kyrie O'Connor from the game show "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me."If the link above doesn't work, try again later, or check out the flickr stream and follow another Improv link from there:Best Buy mission flickr stream.
