A Streetlight Named Fark

FARKlightrz6.jpg
Sunday, Forked at Fark posted a picture of something she saw in the night sky. The headline is priceless:

WTF did I just take a picture of? I thought it was a planet, but it looks really weird

The original Fark thread may take you all day to read (over 1300 comments and pictures), but you’ll laugh til you hurt. Even if you only check out the pictures, be sure to take in the "next morning” photograph of the area involved. Wil Wheaton thought it was funny, too. So did Mark James Murphy. The James Randi Forum also enjoyed it. They aren't the only ones. People were talking about it all over the world. In the followup thread today, she sees the light. And takes the heat.


I love Fark. And now I love Forked at Fark, too.

It's actually very interesting to compare his statements here to the ones he made in the WSJ video I shot a few months ago, about how a company SHOULD react in the face of adversity (after the jump). Clearly, the man is practicing what he preaches.

- Tim Hardaway has large, powerful calves and a smooth, chocolaty head. Just ask George Takei.
- One of the highlights of last weekend's dunk competition involved a sticky little piece of paper.
- Conan presents Meet the Press for Idiots. And later today, the Mclaughlin Group with Tourette's.
- Nobody beats me when it comes to Etch-A-Sketch steps, but if you want a little something more...
- And when you woke up today, did you think you'd be looking at Anna Nicole in clown makeup?
