Overheard

And this, fellow readers, is why Miss Cellania is probably the best writer we've ever had. A thing of beauty. -YesButNoButYes

...Miss Cellania who’s wonderfully funny and knowledgeable and also happens to write for Mental Floss. Her personal blog is updated as often as any multi-contributor blog site and has some wonderful gems... -Infinite Well

Miss Cellania has links, doctored-up photos staring Miss C. herself and YouTube videos from anywhere and everywhere on the internet. If it's funny, you'll probably see it first on her blog. -Suzanne Broughton

Miss Cellania has a site that is to die for. Whenever it’s time for a bit of a smile, interspersed with a gaffaw or two, I head on over there. -Compass Points

If you’re jonesing for more links you may want to visit Miss Cellania’s blog. Or should I say blogs. She’s like the blogosphere’s version of that Jamaican family from In Living Color. She has more blogs than they had jobs. If she starts contributing to one more blog I’m going to stage an intervention. -Cynical-C

I could never in a million years come up with half the wonderful facts, news, links et al that pepper every post she creates. -Mad Baggage

It’s a fantastic set of funny and interesting links, jokes and pictures that she compiled *every day*! -Neatorama

She finds the coolest, funniest stuff day after day. How on earth she does this I have no clue. -NYC Educator

I don't even know how I found Miss C, but I remember the first time I was there, I burned my chocolate chip cookies. I just couldn't stop browsing! Fun stuff over there. -Boomer Chick

If you're not regularly heading over and reading her well compiled, link-filled-goodness posts already, then maybe you should take a step back and do some self reflection and introspection to make sure your life is headed the direction it needs to be and that you're on a path that is fulfilling to you and your fellow man, as a person and as an American. -Hoodlumman

Funniest woman alive. -Pixie

It is quite possibly one of the most extensive sites I have seen for links to humourous content. It is a virtual encyclopedia for a myriad of different jokes on different topics and still growing. So a good site and worth checking out, theres definitely something for everyone, or anyone whos up for a laugh that is! -Mr. Joe Blog

BTW - you quite possibly put together the best, most well researched content on the web, bigtime kudos to you! -Anita B

One place I keep going back to is Miss Cellania. She really has it going on over there. Her posts are chock full of stuff I've never seen before, along with a few old favorites I had forgotten about. Anyone that can consistently come up with that much good stuff deserves kudos. -Blue Beaver Beer

Miss Cellania - is a great read, and there’s more than enough laughs to kill an evening with, on any given day. Miss C has her fingers on the pulse of every joke on the web that you haven’t seen yet. -Saskboy

(Funny, if a tad lowbrow) -Utopia Moment

Fabulous as usual..I appreciate all of the effort..and I am truly humbled. -Homo Escapeons

I'm not even sure why I thought her post is funny, but it is. That's all you're getting from me. Go read it. -konagod

YAY! Miss Cellania knows I'm alive!! -Fuzzy Dave

Happy Halloween! As many holiday links and stuff as I've posted over the last few weeks, there is plenty more Halloween silliness to share. The internet is a never-ending well of weirdness and obscure information that wil never run dry. Unless net neutrality dies and we all hav to pay to play, in which case we'll kiss all this fun goodbye. Now THERE'S a real horror story!

Download free celebrity pumpkin stencils!

There are traditional Jack-o-Lanterns with a face carved on the front and a candle inside. Then there are art pumpkins, with skillfully carved scenes of all kinds. A third category contains the geeky Jack-o-Lanterns that do something strange and unexpected, like the ones in this article I wrote for mental_floss.

10 Halloween Traditions you might not know about.

Dry Bones.

Zombie Haiku.

The Haunted Hospital.

Classic funny skeleton videos.

If scientists and police investigators can reconstruct a face from a skull, why can't we figure out what Skeletor looked like before he was a skeleton? We can, so Manuel Calavera and Jack Skellington get the treatment as well. (via Laughing Squid)

The National Museum of Crime and Punishment in Washington, DC presents a special exhibit for Halloween called Dead Men Walking. The centerpiece of the exhibit is the electric chair used in Tennessee for executions from 1916-1960. You might want to schedule your trip around their Fright Night schedule.

Buy felted body parts and organs.

Twelve Ossuaries Around the World. You might call it an index of boneyards where the bones are showing.

Funny Zombie Videos.

The Six Creepiest Places on Earth. Some are haunted; some only have the memories of terrible things that happened there.

America’s Most Haunted: Six Seriously Spooky Sites. If the tales are retold enough times, any place can give you the creeps.

The Haunted Plantation.

A series I did for mental_floss on the adventures of earthly remains after death: 6 Restless Corpses, 6 More Restless Corpses, and 6 Restless Corpses: Heads of State Edition.

21 Halloween Costumes That Will Not Get You Laid. Because they'e just tasteless. NSFW. (via Metafilter)
