John Cheese Shows Off His Ghost Hunting Prowess.



Looks like John Cheese is going at the ghost hunting thing solo for a little while. If you don't know who John Cheese is, amongst other badassery he's the 'John' from the book John Dies At The End, which you should totally go out and buy. Right now. I'll include an Amazon link, just in case you're agoraphobic.

He's also recently started a new site, Trucker Logic. Only has a few articles up so far, but they're funny. So is this video, where Cheese uses his experience in ghost hunting (and maybe a dose of soy sauce) to debunk some famous viral ghost videos.

I have to admit, however, that I was sorta hoping a new video in the JDatE Youtube channel meant that another round of the Alternative Reality Game was beginning. This is good too, tho.

Nothing If Not Thorough.



By now it's not even remotely news that James Frey's book "A Million Little Pieces" is completely crap. Just for good measure, however, I just wanted to point you in the direction of The Smoking Gun's dauntingly thorough dissection of nearly every claim made in the book.

Brutal.

Snopes Toxin Du Jour Page.



If you have friends and family that continually send you chain emails regarding some new poisonous product, or some new way the kids are getting high and dying, you may want to bookmark this specific page. It covers everything from aspartame to radon, including some rumors that turn out to be true. Definitely a useful resource.
