Tyger Tyger Under Water

Screw sharks, I’ve got a new thing to be amazed and kinda scared of now when I’m swimming… a big Bengal tiger named Odin. He’s a local for me, so I should make some time to go check him out.

First Vinegar, Then the World!

Robotics are kind of scary, and if Terminator teaches us anything it’s that they will someday take over. First they’ll be peddling vinegar in Japan, then they’ll be taking over the world!

A man has set himself up in a room with a paintball gun and a webcam perpetually pointed at him for a month, and has told anyone who wishes that they can shoot him simply by pressing a button on the website.  Wafaa Bilal’s “Domestic Tension” is his latest art project, and it features the exact scenario described above.  What’s more terrifying is that already some 40,000 shots have been fired at him.

LOLcats Music

It seems that cats with bad grammar and a sense of humor are quite popular. Now they even have a song! Will it ever end? Do we even want it to end? What does Hello Kitty think of all this?

Office Masturbation

You know when someone says something really stupid and you do the figurative toss off motion? It’s quick and to the point and then you can move on in the conversation. Not this time. Thanks to Banana Boy for the link!

Brilliant parody of the Abbot and Costello sketch, Who’s on First.

Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.

George: Great. Lay it on me.

Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.

George: That’s what I want to know.

Condi: That’s what I’m telling you.

George: That’s what I’m asking you. Who is the new leader of China?

Condi: Yes.

George: I mean the fellow’s name.

Condi: Hu.

George: The guy in China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The new leader of China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The Chinaman!

Condi: Hu is leading China.

George: Now whaddya’ asking me for?

Read the rest and have a chuckle at the President’s expense!
