Orson Welles Creepily Interviews Jim Henson and Frank Oz
What the fuck television show does this come from? Why is the interview with Henson and Oz interspersed with images of dead and suicidal Muppets? What’s going on? Devour has no answers, and neither do I:

KILL IT KILL IT BEFORE IT ENSLAVES US ALL
A mere five seconds of footage from the incredibly poorly named Planet of the Apes reboot, you say? (The film’s title, by the way, used to be the nicely ominous Rise of the Apes, but now it’s going by the kind of desperate, kind of awkward Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a phrase […]

Then we noticed that the PLAYMOBIL™ […]

Dr. Jeff Masters at the Weather Underground (a meteorology site) ran a NOAA computer model to answer the question. The answer is yes—but, not in quantities to be of concern for human health.

R.I.P. Snake Who Bit That One Model’s Tit
