Gee, look at what the Taiwanese animators have been up to.

No two fake barfs are alike. A fascinating history.
Who’s Had The Hardest Life?
Moammar Whathisname or Keith Richards? Actually, Moammar’s been having a rough year, and I suspect it’s about to get substantially worse.
Web Server Bleg
Geek Alert for this post.
I’m running a web server app on my computer, which I can address by http://localhost:8080/webapp, where “webapp” is the app.
It works fine, but in theory, I should be able to access it from another machine on the network via http://localhostIP:8080/webapp, where “localhostIP” is the IP address of my machine, but I can’t. It just times out.
I’ve even installed Apache on the machine, and I’ve set up a reverse proxy in the Apache config file per the following:
ProxyRequests On
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168
#Set up reverse proxy for Webapp server
ProxyPass /webapp/ http://localhost:8080/webapp/
ProxyPassReverse /webapp/ http://localhost:8080/webapp/
ProxyPreserveHost On
Again, where “webapp” is the actual webserver that I’m trying to access remotely.
When I try to access this from either a remote, or my local machine, by http://localhostIP/webapp, I get the message: “The requested URL /webapp was not found on this server.”
Any Apache gurus who can tell me what the problem might be? I’ve opened up firewall to both http and https.
[Update Friday morning]
Problem solved. As noted in comments, it was a combination of allowed ports and SELinux.
A Primer For Rioters In Texas
…but probably not in London. Yet.
It’s an oldie, but worth a read: six non-lethal weapons that you’ll wish had killed you.
The Script That Bombed
I hate when this happens:
A writer desperate to get a movie script read suffered the ultimate rejection Thursday when police blew up a briefcase he said contained the screenplay after an agent refused to read it, police said.
Just another day in Tinseltown. Maybe he can work up a treatment on the story. It would at least be a good opener.
Want A Good Laugh?
Al Gore for president.
Please, please, please, please.

OK, this one is good, too: “Release America’s 2nd Chakra”

[Evening update]
My spam filter caught a comment. I have the email address, but I won’t publish it (I don’t know whether it’s valid or not, but it probably is, being a Gmail address). I’m not going to approve it, but I thought it might edify my readers as to what kind of creature supports the former vice president and mindlessly vilifies his critics. I would also note that it is very unusual in both its lack of intelligence and its foul language, compared to the vast majority of comments here. And I will state the name it used — J_star, since it willingly put it in the form, and every commenter’s stated name is published here.
GO suck a f***ing c**k you f***ing useless piece of s**t.
With enemies like this, who needs friends?
The Jokes Write Themselves
This really is a potentially big breakthrough for people with continence problems, but the commentary on it is entirely predictable:
OMG they’re cloning Barney Frank.
See?
But Don’t Call Him A Fascist
Michael Moore says that the president should arrest the head of Standard and Poors. Well, at least he’s not blaming the Tea Party.

And now for something completely different — a man who is splitting atoms on his kitchen table. Bill Joy, call your office.
