Imponderable #74: Gunung Kemukus, Java, Indonesia

Sorry, I don’t have the zip code.

vacation

This is where I am going on vacation, book me a hotel room for June!

Well hey, I’m not here to make fun of anyone’s religious beliefs, but I would like to point out that many people also believe that today, December 21st, 2012, is the day the world is going to end. I hope that’s not true because it would totally mess up my random stranger sex vacation next year.

What caught my attention the most (aside from saving the water for “re-use’) is the festival’s name, Pon. It is pretty close to Porn, which would be a much better description.

When the article says that the experience has become “heavily commercialized,” what exactly does that mean? Do they mean celebrity endorsements? “This random sex act with a total stranger brought to you by Charlie Sheen?”

The question is Imponderable.

Imponderable #73: Serbia

14 Dec

December 14, 2012

It is now my pleasure to introduce one of the sanest and most rational Imponderable it has been my joy to discover.

Take that Mayor Bloomberg! While you are busy banning big sodas and just generally being short, Mayor Miodrag Vujetic is out protecting his town from vampires.

Seriously, this is no surprise to any scholar of vampire lore. Take a look at this centuries-old map of Central Europe:

austro-hungary

Zarozje likes right along the infamous “vampire highway,” which stretched from Transylvania to Serbia, with off-ramps in Romania and Bulgaria. At the height of the undead’s power, they occupied every old mill for hundreds of miles. Today, the last remaining mill, the refuge of Sava Savanovic, is in ruins and now the ghoul is on the loose. I warned them to reinforce the walls! They could have done it during the day, nothing to fear!

Anyway, who am I to argue? Maybe there really is a vampire loose. Maybe there really are truths behind the Serbian legends of the undead.

And maybe the Mayor happens to own the town’s only garlic farm and cross factory.

Do  you think they like Twilight over in Serbia?

The question is Imponderable.
