Well, if we were talking, I might think you were interesting if you started talking about the following:
1) Music of any kind - if it isn't music that I like, I can always make fun of you.
2) Movies - see above.
3) Video Games - However, I absolutely do not want to hear about your WoW character great detail or any other super-nerd equivalent (this is to prevent me from flying off the handle in a jealous fit of nerd rage), nor do I want to hear about the dirty hentai games that you play when you think no one is looking. You make baby Jesus cry with that shit.
4) Japan or Japanese - I live here so, you know, I must think that it's at least mildly interesting.
5) Why I'm so cool. I mean, it's this huge fucking mystery which no one seems to be capable of unraveling. I would appreciate any insight concerning this matter.
People who listen to the same crappy music that I listen to.
Anyone who lives in or near Shimabara, Japan. Let's party.
Anyone who was directed here from my Facebook page. Myspace is infinitely better. You'll see.
Ken Yokoyama theme post, bitches! You guys remember punk rock, right?

Unweaving The Rainbow by prominent secular humanist/rationalist/atheist (or whatever it is these days) Richard Dawkins. It gets a little bit "science textbook" in some chapters, but that's kind of what it's about. That is, demonstrating the beauty of science in response to those who think that scientific explanations make the universe seem like it's cold, bland, and depressing. It talks about a lot of things that we don't usually think about. For instance, the shear size of the universe or the mind-boggling probabilities that we had to overcome simply to be born.
With the exception of their music, I like everything about these guys. They're so charming and goofy. They can also throw puns around like nobody's business. Anyway, here's MOTHER FUCKING GWAR on the Joan Rivers Show.
I about died when they started laughing way too hard at Joan's crack about the Sally Jesse.
