As someone who has been through college and who works as something of a paid writer right now, I know all about the process of sitting down at the computer for the purpose of working, only to find that work never gets accomplished. Researching something on the internet or browsing my feed reader quickly turns […]

You know what movie made gigantic floor pianos look fun? Big. Everyone who has ever seen the movie will, when walking by any toy store of sufficient size, duck inside to see just where the giant floor piano is. They might even attempt to play something on it. I’ve done this many times, yet I’ve […]

From the mad genius behind An Engineer’s Guide to Cats comes his latest video, An Engineer’s Guide to Advanced Cat Yodeling. I’m not sure where Paul Klusman gets his inspiration for these videos, but whatever combination of drugs he’s taking is really working for him. He puts out some of the funniest videos on the […]

It only took 448 yellow LED lights, but Japanese hacker “Ron” Tajima turned his Roomba into that vanquisher of ghosts and eater of pellets of yore, Pac-Man! This is quite possibly one of the best Roomba videos ever, even when you consider that video of the cat riding on top of the Roomba. I mean, […]

Sad news today as one of my favorites, the veteran comedian and actor Dom DeLuise, passed away last night at age 75 at an L.A. hospital.  I had no idea Dom was even sick, because he stayed fairly active lately.  I remember just a few months ago listening to his instantly-recognizable voice on an episode […]

I love these neat little editing challenges. I’m not sure what else to call them, but Henson’s 11 is an absolutely perfect mash-up of The Muppets and Ocean’s 11, with Muppets taking over the roles of all your favorite members of Danny Ocean’s gang. It’s amazing, and Gonzo (even as Matt Damon) always makes me […]

It’s Easter, it’s early, and I’m still too tired to be awake this early. I need some cute video in my day, and the above video is one of the cutest things I’ve seen in months. There are lots more videos of Sharky and his chicken friends at texasgirly1979’s YouTube home. It’s the video equivalent […]

The Japanese have a love affair with everything cuddly and cute. They’re the country responsible for Pokemon and Hello Kitty, after all. Then again, they also have a love of all things gigantic and dangerous. These are the people who gave the world Godzilla and his kaiju brethren. So, what can you say about a […]

Does it get any better than a pole-dancing bear? No, it doesn’t. If you think otherwise, you’re obviously crazy. This video is too funny/cute not to share! What absolutely makes the video spectacular, more so than the bear being cute, is the fact that whoever put the music to the images picked an absolutely perfect […]

I work with someone at my day job who has 16 cats and who, as part of a feral cat spaying and neutering/feeding organization, is responsible for dumping out bowls of kibble for at least 40 or 50 others. There’s not a day that goes by that doesn’t see her getting up at 5 AM, […]

This is what the world needs more. Back in the day, or what I assume to have been the day from what I’ve learned via movies and the History Channel, animal acts were everywhere. If Siegfried and Roy can have a tiger jump through a flaming hoop before eating Roy’s face, then why can’t the […]

I thought the only people who drank this much were Russians, who drink a lot to be stabbing-resistant, but apparently the Danish can put back their Carlsberg, Tuborg, and apparently, Bombay Sapphire Gin (based on the shape of the bottles). Miss Cellania passes along a great video of some inventive Danes who put together their […]

One event is rarely influential, but fifty years ago today something happened that altered the entire course of both rock and roll as a nascent musical movement, rock and roll in the years afterward, and music history in general. This event was a plane crash in Clear Lake, Iowa that claimed the lives of Charles […]

This is an astounding display of technology. Every single day, medical science performs minor miracles. First there’s banjo brain surgery that uses electrodes in the brain to stop tremors , and now there’s a bionic hand that’s so skilled it puts my actual human arm to shame. I mean, it would be pretty awful to […]

One of the biggest questions on the Internet (and a stock response of blog trolls everywhere) is “Will it blend?” The answer is more than likely here, and more than likely yes. Pretty much everything will blend if you have a cool enough. However, just because something will blend, that doesn’t mean you should blend […]
