Skeleton Boy at the Olympics: Boxing

Well the Olympics officially starts today. London 2012 and all that. What I can't figure out is why they've had some football matches already? why have an opening ceremony on a Friday if you're gonna start the games beforehand? Not only that but they showed South Korea's flag instead of North Korea's flag and the North Koreans refused to play for about an hour, the equivalent of taking your ball and going home, except your home is on another continent so you might as well stay and play. Still bit of a faux pas, eh? Something tells me that little fella that replaced Kim Jong Il would start a nuclear war over less. I have included a picture for reference.

Floor Spiders

Ok folks it's time for some spider facts!

1. Spiders are the number one food source for orphaned children in New South Wales

2. Lesbians are immune to spider bites. No matter how many bites they get, they won't even notice. This doesn't stop them being afraid of them.

3. The biggest spiders in the world are found in the Antarctic and feed mostly on penguin eggs.

4. The giant spider 'Shelob' (click for video) from Lord of the Rings is the same one that lives in my shed.

5. The forrest dwelling spiders in the Harry Potter movies are played by the same spiders from Arachnophobia.

6. Jeff Daniels auditioned for the spider in the TV adaptation of Charlotte's web.

7. A house spider's favourite biscuit is the Hobnob. Money spiders prefer Viscounts.

8. Spider-man is a fictional character and is not actually a spider.

Children's Illustrated Bible

I always wanted to be a children's bible illustrator. Specifically only illustrating works of biblical fiction. This was until I found out that you couldn't add any artistic licence. Dinosaurs eating Adam and eve was visually stunning but frowned upon. If you're going to go to all that bother teaching kids that the world is 6000 years old and that 2 of every kind of animal in the world could fit on a boat, why not have a dragon in a sailor suit as the captain? If you're going to have Jesus walk on water why not have him in a top hat and tails with a magic wand and a scantily clad assistant? When you have Jesus come back from the dead, why not have him in full flesh rotting zombie glory!

Game of Game of Thrones

Well Now that Game of Thrones season 2 is over there's not a lot going on of a Monday night. I was expecting Ned Stark to return to the series atop a fire engine riding through the gates of hell, but alas they decided to stay more faithful to the books. My favourite character is Peter Dinklage's Tyron Lannister. Not because he's a midget but because he's a dwarf, (they didn't have midgets back then or wherever it's set). Well I hope you like the comic, I'll leave you with a little factoid though. Whilst Sean Bean played Ned Stark in the TV show, in the book he was played by Michael Palin! Bizarre!

Slavery Ring

Another week another comic! This week's offering is Slavery Ring, featuring a guest appearance by 'The Bible'. He's hard to get but if you can get him, he's a great addition to an ensemble cast. There's also this blue guy and this orange guy who I think play their roles well. If you've enjoyed it why not like our new facebook page and leave us a comment? www.facebook.com/theskeletonblog It's simples!

Promootheus

Went to see Ridley Scott's Prometheus the other week. Pretty good I thought. Not as great as all the hype but it still left me wanting to see more. There's something that's always bothered me about that big spaceship from alien though. It doesn't really look like it can fly. It looks like a big magnet or a set of antlers. Or even a giant horse shoe from a giant space horse! Maybe that's gonna be in the sequel. A giant space horse! Wow! I can't wait to see it now. I'll go pre order my tickets!

The Queens Jubilee

Well the Queen's been having a right old time hasn't she? She was at that thing with all the boats,  that thing with all the music and a man drives her crown around in a big carriage! Amazing! I think I'm going to have a jubilee next year myself.

Dinosaur Website

With all this sunny weather I thought I'd post this little number about a dinosaur website as it's in no way related. What would a dinosaur website be like I hear you ask, what would be on there? Well I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say everything! It'd be great! News articles pertaining to dino culture, a velociraptor cookery spot. There'd be pictures of dinosaurs out and about, getting blitzed, having a good time. It'd have horoscopes and an agony aunt page for dino problems. Celeb column with all the goss and pictures of your favourite dinosaurs getting into scrapes and maybe even the odd nip slip. It'd be awesome and you know it, don't listen to those diplodocus.

Let there be light

Not a lot going on in this one. Check out the beard on God though. Thats a pretty sweet beard. This was at the start of the bible so imagine the beard he'd have now! Massive!

Mushrooms

Mario's had quite a few mushrooms in his time, what's that about? Why mushrooms? Why not some more respectable form of vegetable? Carrots that let him see in the dark? Spinach for strength? No, its mushrooms. Green, blue, red etc. Eat mushrooms and crazy shit happens! Come back to life Grow 20 feet tall! Weird business all that, and don't get me started on his adventures through all those pipes.....
