Dalek abandoned at school

School officials are trying to figure out what to do with a life-size Dalek that was mysteriously left at school.  No one really wants it.

 "Someone out there must know where this Dalek has come from. And if the owner doesn't come forward, maybe we could give it to some charity or organisation that can do something with him."

The school contacted police but officers say they have received no reports of a missing or stolen Dalek.

Stormtrooper's Letterman's Jacket

A letterman's jacket for Stormtroopers.  Just when I thought Star Wars fans couldn't get any geekier.

Vintage Paris

Old photographs of Paris circa 1910.  Simply gorgeous. 

 

 This image creeps me out because it reminds of that scene from Return to Oz when Dorothy finds the case of heads and they all start screaming in unison.  Gotta love 80s fantasy kid movies.
 

No damn time

Sorry for the lack of updates.  It's a lot harder to maintain a blog than it was 10 years ago when I was just a college student working part time at K-Mart.  I'm going for my ProCert this year, so a lot of my free time has been sucked away by everything I need to do for that.  I'm trying really hard to update Quiddity AT LEAST once a week.  I don't want the blog to die.  Wish me luck.

My money's on DeNiro.

Bearded Mom Reunited with Her Son

How weird would it be to find out that the woman who gave you up for adoption was a sideshow bearded lady?   Not only that, but she's also a he.  

"My whole life growing up, I thought my mom was Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane, but that was just my fantasy. This is kind of better," he said.

Alternate Universe Posters

Strange posters made for movies of an alternate universe.  I, personally, would love to see how David Bowie would play The Joker.

Halloween Pop-Tarts

Pop-Tarts are coming out with two new flavors for Halloween: Choc-o-Lantern & Pumpkin Pie.  I'm not crazy about the chocolate one, but I'm dying to try the pumpkin pie one.

Werner Herzog goes 3-D

Werner Herzog to direct a 3-D movie.  That does not compute.

The end is near

Christine O'Donnell has won the Republican Senate nomination in Delaware.  Be afraid.  Be very afraid.  

The Misery Chick Speaks

Here's an interview with the woman behind the voice of Daria.  It's really good, so check it out if you were a fan of the show back in the 90s.  Daria was my hero in high school.
