Be patient with the first minute or so; this clip gets funnier towards the end.

I really wish we had better commercials in the States.

This guy is a beast.

Impressive freestyle BMX tricks. Embedding has been disabled so you'll have to click here to see it. Fun stuff.
Update: And there's more.

As much as I like psytrance, I rarely see the need to purchase an album. I make an exception for Cosmosis and this new song is an example why:

I was toying with the idea of putting this on Facebook but then I wussed-out. Ah, The Onion.

Mark Sanford calls in for some advice.

One of several trailers. At the 2:17 mark it looks like Ravage, so maybe Soundwave made it into this one.

Finally someone (with the authority to possibly pull it off) has said it. Legalize pot and tax its ass. Unfortunately, I doubt it will happen. The prison guard union in California is massive and spends a shitload of money against ideas like this. They have a lot to lose if the jail population were to be diminished. Still, Arnold can't be re-elected anyway so he has nothing to lose, so maybe.... [Reuters - California Considers Legalizing Pot]

This bird was mentioned on NPR which is how I heard of him. Apparently scientists have taken songs he likes and modified their speed and he does alter his dance to fit with the rhythm. Pretty cool for an animal that has such a small brain.

I'm not sure how old this clip is. I saw the episode it was in for the first time today.

A short but sweet article complete with visual aids. Using $100 bills as the unit of measurement the author shows what one million dollars looks like (it could fit in my gym bag) as well as larger denominations - up to one trillion. Try to guess what one trillion dollars would look like using $100 bills and then click here. I'll admit, I was pretty far off...

Wow, this is pretty ballsy - even by Family Guy standards.

Ouch.

'Oh, god damnit!'
Maybe we need a schadenfreude tag? I know I shouldn't laugh but I just can't help myself.

A good 30 second television advert.

Like many people I have an irrational dislike of snakes. This article does not help in any way. I know I have more to fear from say, a mountain lion or other predatory cat or even some angry aggressive neighbor's equally angry and aggressive dog but the thought of a snake seven times my height in its length creeps me out.

I normally don't care about sports but if this keeps up I may have to start watching.
'With only three minutes left in play, viewers were shocked to see not football but instead a lady unzipping some guy’s pants, and then “he did his little dance with everything hanging out,”' [Wonkette - Arizona Porn Attack!]
