Not just for ugly sweater vests anymore.
Okay, so forgive that this place is called "Beutiful" art. Clearly, they were too busy making horror to accurately spell anything.
We love the sickos here.
having trouble keeping your severed dog head alive?
You're in luck! *Below is a video which chronicles an old Soviet experiment in which a dog's head was allegedly kept alive after it was removed from the body. Do I even need to tell you
this video is graphic and extremely disturbing?
This is a
great post if you have the time to read it.
Did Soviet scientists actually keep a disembodied dog head alive back in the 1940s? Did those crazed Stalinist Frankensteins then follow up that stunt by surgically creating a two headed dog in 1954? (That is, if "two-headed" is accurate - it's more like two heads, six legs and one-and-a-half torsi.)
Sorry, I just wanted to use the word "torsi."
And forget the Soviets - what about the monkey brain that a Cleveland surgeon transplanted from one primate to another? Are these all Internet hoaxes, or the only known evidence of a subject too taboo to be taken seriously - the research into head and brain transplants that's been going on for decades?
I wish I had definitive answers for you - I don't. But I'm more inclined towards believing that these experiments actually took place than when I first stumbled onto this weird medical sub-culture. After starting off as a skeptic, I've come to believe that organisms have indeed been revived. Heads have been lopped off. Brains have been perfused. Cephalic members transplanted. Glucose permeated in isolated canine craniums. The works.
What follows is a fascinating, barebones account of the weird medical subculture of organ revival and transplantation.
*You Tube videos load
very slowly. It's best to start the video, pause it--look around the rest of Braindead Shithead--go back and start watching the video after the download has made some progress. All that to see a severed dog head move around! Damn.
for the lady who has everything...almost

Education Friday
A new Friday night tradition here at Braindead Shithead, I will present an educational video in the hopes of laying some knowledge on your ignorant asses.
Up first, the delightful Conjunction Junction from the Schoolhouse Rock series. This is a non-commercial site, so I have nothing to profit, but here is more information about the
Schoolhouse Rock DVD.
you think The Osmonds can't rock?
And now, for those of us who can't sit through an entire movie
It's 30 Second Bunnies do
Brokeback Mountain!From what I've heard, it seems to have more hot gay action than the actual movie.
Though, for what it's worth, my favorite part is the turkey with bunny ears.
Gratuitous

Bill Motherfucking Hicks
Frequency23.org is offering-- for free --a recording of
one of Bill Hicks last performances.
If you're a fan of Hicks, you've likely heard much of the material. But this show was from after censors exorcised his act from Letterman, so he wails on that for a while. With a
vengence.If you haven't heard of Hicks, you're missing out. For my money if he's not
the best, he is in the top 2 greatest stand-up comedians ever. And he was political as shit.
I wish he were around today.

The Small, The Large, and The Orbitable
Have I got some links for you!
So, having nothing to do this evening but be online, I finally went through some of the sites I had been meaning to scope out.
Only the best for the Shitheads!
First up, it's
The Museum of Online Museums. Sure, it's got your Smithsonian and Musee d'Orsay, but also fun things, like the Burnt Food Museum, The Grocery List Collection, and International Collection of Old Phone Books.
Who doesn't like old phone books?
I'll bet you've got at least three lying around.
Up next, it's
The Phobia ListIf you ever wanted to know what aeronausiphobia was, it's totally your site.
And, since dear god, it's just not life without fat chicks, there's
Fat Chicks in Party Hats.
Not all party hats, but damned if there isn't a lot of fat chicks there.
Zombie, this site is for you!
An overlooked little gem which now can be admired for the art it is is
Prawnography. You know you've been missing this in your life.
And, to conclude, one that's cool AND useful. Called
Fontifer, you can have your handwriting turned into a font. I can see no better gift for that special someone come holiday time than your crappy-ass handwriting turned into a font. It's $9! Not even spendy!
like the Partridge Family...only Japanese
Is There a World Champion of Quarters?

Every Dog Has its Day
How could I forget!
First Larry Flynt, now Anna Nicole Smith!
(though, totally crude sidenote, doesn't she look really fucking hot? And she has a kid who's 18, maybe 19 by now. That's so wrong. True, she's stupider than my desk chair, but give her something better to do with her mouth than talk, and it doesn't really matter.)
Today, the Supremes (Stop! In the Name of $454 Million Fucking Dollars!) heard arguments on whether probate issues should stay in state courts, or be allowed into courts at the federal level.
Personally, I think it should have to do with the amount in question (I mean, do we really need to fight about Aunt Sally's $350,000 at the federal level? I think no.), but then, I'm not a Supreme.
Though, I think it's quite interesting that the current administration is very much on Anna Nicole's side.
Hmmm...we agree on something...oops, my head just exploded.
I'm just trying to imagine Howard K. Stern speaking before the Supremes...I'm sorry, but it's just NOT happening...
Mm, dancing in suits.
It's a shame when a sign gets more action than I do
You know I'm totally going to be checking the clothing on all these signs in the future, right?
This is what Sea World gets.
Clearly, this orca has seen "Free Willy", and was just as disgusted at it as I was.
He's taking his revenge, one hapless kayaker at a time.
You're next, red boy.
so good it hurts
old skool jackass
Meet
Franz Reichelt. Idiot. Pioneer. Dreamer. Dead man.
Reichelt was an Austrian tailor who sought to combine his interests by creating a garment to serve as both an overcoat and a parachute. In 1911, he decided to test his invention. Having told the authorities that he wanted to make a 'dummy' drop, at the last minute he strapped himself in, and with sublime confidence stepped from a platform off the Eiffel Tower, and fell to his death.
this might be my favorite PSA ever

It is Pointless to Resist
Spot on!
When I first heard about
The Cyborg Name Decoder from my friend at
Two Sheets to the Wind, I was skeptical. But once I tried this amazing product I realized just how amazingly amazing it really is.
can you spot something that doesn't belong in this picture?
Alyssa Milano loves our troops
Ms. Milano raises morale the only way she knows how.
Take a look.
No word if Paris Hilton will follow with her own collection of nipple slips in Iraq.
