    Christmas is approaching, which means it's time for gentiles the country over to condescendingly recognize the existence of one of the least significant Jewish holidays - the frustratingly spelled Hanukkah.While it's certainly nice to wish others well during their respective holidays, Hair Balls believes Hanukkah needs to be kept in perspective - and by perspective, we mean, people need to come to terms with how lame it is compared to Christmas. Lest you think that's a harsh statement, one must

  • Houston Blows Up Real Good

    Photo by foxtongueThe awesomely morbid folks at Carlos Labs have created a "Ground Zero" nightmare generator for every city on Earth. Using Java Script and some Google Map magic, anyone can pinpoint a location in the world, AND BLOW IT THE HELL UP. You can choose your own weapon of mass destruction and see how big "ground zero" will be, seeing just how far each weapon will inflict damage. You have at least seven different sizes of various atomic and hydrogen bombs at your disposal. There is even

  • Things the Devil Should Have Done Besides Go Down to Georgia

    Today marks the 30th anniversary of the release of the Charlie Daniels Band's "The Devil Went Down To Georgia." The song, which climbed all the way to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and lives on today as a "boss battle" in Guitar Hero 3, made its first appearance on the group's 1979 album Million Mile Reflections.It's actually hard for us to believe that the song is 30 years old, since it always seemed way older. Daniels and his band - who appear at the "Sean Hannity Freedom Concert" August 1 a
