Someone want to explain to me what this is? Taken at 4:20am (more than an hour before sunrise), facing south-southeast toward downtown.
Is it … aliens? The moon? Some secret government experiment? Aurora borealis? Patrick Lagacé?

Ici on commerce en français during store hours
Seen at a store on Ste. Catherine St.
There’s quelque chose that strikes moi about this image, but je can pas put my doigt on it.
Does someone understand street-light morse code?
I’m pretty sure the aliens are trying to send us a message.
Clip du Plateau
I was a bit curious why, on a bus at 2 a.m., a woman would be carrying a poster with pictures of Guy A. Lepage tied to it with white paper clips. I’d even considered asking her.
But I fear any rational explanation for this, and so I kind of prefer it to remain a mystery.
Dooo dooo gooooo!
Spotted at Cremazie metro on Oct. 3
I have seen a lot of strange things happen in the metro system before, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone decorate a cake.
One of these things is not like the other
Can you guess which one?
Natinals
Just when you thought the ex-Expos couldn’t embarrass themselves further, quickly grabbing the worst record in baseball by losing their first seven games of the season (and 10 of 11), they made themselves into even more of a laughing stock by misspelling their own name.
I’d laugh if it wasn’t so sad.
Here it is, your bus ride of zen
Paper with quotation on a traffic light post on St. Denis St.
Sunday night on my way home, I noticed a piece of paper with a quotation on it taped to a bus stop post. I didn’t think anything of it until I passed by another stop and noticed another quote on another piece of paper. In the end, there were similar pieces of paper taped on or near bus stops along the 361’s route from Old Montreal to Ahuntsic.
No idea why. Naturally, their flimsy construction and unauthorized nature meant they didn’t last long.
Y’a pas d’choix, y manque un bras!
You know, part of me imagines that everyone reads the Journal de Montréal like this.
Or 24 Heures like this.
There are, amazingly, hundreds more where these came from.
Oh. Canada. Our. Home. And. Native. Land.
Unionized journalists aren’t the only people spreading around online petitions. Kristian Gravenor is peddling one to convince the Canadiens to have William Shatner sing the national anthem at a game.
Yeah.
Proulx unplugged
Steve Proulx’s slow descent into madness continues, as he locks himself in a small room with only a recorder and a webcam to keep him company.
He’s taking requests (Freebird?). He’s already done the Passe-Partout theme.
Now I’m gonna spend all night doing air recorder.
CHOM ferme ses portes
Ad in Metro (Sept. 22)
Cute. Though it did confuse a lot of people. And I still don’t quite get it.
Back in the closet
You can relax now, folks. Otakuthon is over.
I have a hot tip, officer
You’ll be pleased to know that bleeding penises are valid excuses for speeding. Even if they’re not yours.
(There Jeff, I posted one of your stories. Happy now?)
UPDATE: Farked.

Some suggestions:
- This is a blog. I don’t have a reporting staff.
- Your luck with media outlets is usually much better if you’re not obviously forwarding an email you sent to another media outlet.
- Media outlets have dedicated public addresses for assignment editors. They don’t start with “letters.”
- Don’t ask the media to convert Tokyo time to local unless it’s necessary.
- Your event listing appears to be missing what the whole point of the event is.
- Is SeaQuest DSV coming back?
- I’d list the things wrong with the website, but let’s just say it’s everything, from the constant text colour changes to the lack of any specifics about what exactly this organization does.
- All that said, good luck with creating that united Earth government that controls the world.
