this can't be a dream: it smells like a wiki-licious friday!

where i come from, every day's a friday!

i come from the land of fri-tonia, where casual clothes are a must, and manic monday is banned from all public radio.

good morning, reeds. it's friday, november 10th, and i've got the post that can boast the most--um, the most. ummmm.

ah screw it. here's today's non-rhyming, caffeinated installment of tiny damaged notions!

you know, as a man interested in my future as a blogger, i decided to search for 'tiny damaged notions' blog" on google. yes, i could have used google as a verb and say i "googled" it, but why should google get to be a verb and all those cool words i invented can't? what about smarshaling? or tyeundeling? sorry google, but until those make their way into the common vernacular of americans, i'll stick to "search."

anyways, here's what i found out: technorati.com is a site that "give[s] you the very latest blog posts so that you can read what other people are saying right now." and look who's first on this cached page:
ohhh, who's that sexy blog? why, it's TDN!

my sunday post was the first to pop up if anyone searched for reese witherspoon on technorati.com. i'm so honored. obviously, this means that if reese frequently wants to see what people are saying about her in blogs, she got a chance to not be creeped out by reading that i know she "frequently daydreams of my sexiness."

rock on.

in other news, brittany-reed just informed me of this:

hey did you know that you have no sense of smell when your sleeping? that has some frightening implications. i mean, someone could dump a large pile of cow dung on you and you wouldn't wake up. you might wake up from the sound of the cow dung falling on you, but you wouldn't wake up from the smell.

you hear that, reeds? anyone who lives near a farm better watch out.

for the rest of you, looks like my plan of breaking into your bedroom and surprising each one of you with freshly baked cow-dung cookies while you were sleeping won't work on smell alone. i'll have to bring along my foghorn.

ok, ok. i've put it off long enough: it's wiki-licious friday!

thanks a lot for giving me topics, everyone but chris-reed!

i kid. but honestly, start doing what you're told! what kind of cult is this where you don't even follow simple instructions?

today's topic: the seismosaurus!
(all information below: wikipedia.com, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismosaurus")

seismosaurus means "Earth-shaking lizard," which provides paleontologists with many trite bathroom jokes:
"watch out, fellas! i've gota seismosaurus down here!"
"yeah, more like a nanosaurus!"

and so on.

just how large is this dino, you ask?

It is estimated to have been 110 feet (33.53 meters) long — making it one of the longest dinosaurs — and It might have weighed nearly 45 tons

wow. if you're like me, and those numbers don't mean a damn thing to you, fear not! the wikis have posted an amazing 3d rendered depiction of this large dino-dealy:
move over, pixar. that's one beautifully rendered image.

i assume the slight white border around the seismosaurus is showing the force field it had around its body, and not showing a crappy cut-and-paste job.

after all, this is an encyclopedia, dammit!

(well, sort of)

there's also a zoid version of this lovely d-saur:
so now the kids can learn all those amazing facts i just taught you!

weren't they amazing? wasn't reading this the best part of your friday?

yeah, i knew it.

alright, i think that's enough wiki-liciousness for today. all you reeds go out and have a splendid friday. and start posting your ideas for next friday's topic!

I DEMAND IT!
