An interesting little article that sheds some light on the unmanned Predator drones that are blowing people up in the Middle East. Is it just me, or do the Predators seem a lot like the Hunter-Killers from The Terminator? And is it just me, or am I a total super-nerd?

It’s amazing how 10 minutes ago I had no idea what Hot Dog on a Stick was, but now all I want to do is find one and watch some lemonade being made. I’m going to do it too, as long as I can escape from this gluereed.

Jason Clay spent three hours walking around the Giza pyramids and took a picture every 10 steps. He then made a 30 second video with the pictures, so now you don’t have to go to Egypt and get blown up.

I recommend reading the penguin one last. Most of the others are so bizarre and grossly disturbing that you’ll need the cute little penguin story to make you feel like living again. And remind me never to get reincarnated as an Anglerfish. Mercy me…

If you add a roll of Mentos to a bottle of Coca-Cola, you get a very large stream of pop shooting out of the top. If you do it 101 times in a synchronized fashion, you get an impressive recreation of the giant fountain at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Amir Massoud Tofangsazan allegedly sold his broken laptop on eBay, neglecting to inform the buyer that it was broken. Unfortunately for him, the buyer found many embarrassing pictures of, and apparently taken by, Amir on the laptop’s still functioning hard drive, and of course he posted them on the internet for everyone to see.

Swarm is a new way to ‘browse’ the web. It is a graphical map of hundreds of websites, all connecting to each other. It updates itself every second with where people are going and coming from. Not surprisingly, ‘coming from’ is usually Google, and ‘going to’ is porn, but some interesting things turn up from time to time.

This video, which comes to us all the way from Japan, has about eight thousand different Rube Goldberg machines in it, and all you Rube Goldberg fans will be in Rube Goldberg heaven! Rube Goldberg. It also has an awesome Japanese jingle. Does anyone know what they’re saying and what it means?

I can only assume that sometime within the next couple of weeks the lawyers at Philips Norelco (who have obviously been out of town for a while) are going to come back to work, check out the new online ad campaign for the Philips Bodygroom, laugh, cry, fire every employee in the company, and finally take down this crazy ad. So watch it while you can.

Michael Paulus has rendered the skeletal systems of some popular cartoon characters as he imagines “they might resemble if one truly had eye sockets half the size of its head, or fingerless-hands, or feet comprising 60% of its body mass.”
Before you click the link, leave a guess of whose skeleton that is in the comments!

Nice to know that Motorola doesn’t occupy the top 9 spots on this list. Oh wait, they do! But don’t worry, I’m sure all this radiation information doesn’t really mean anything. Except that you’ve got a deadly cancer phone.

Why write an email when you can send a message written in blood? Bloody Finger Mail has quickly become my number one form of correspondence. Love letters, job applications, you name it!

This is a really cool animated music video for JCBSONG by Nizlopi (whomever that is). You can’t go wrong with something that includes a backhoe, Optimus Prime and the A-Team! The song’s pretty catchy too.

Either the cockroach in this video is controlling a robot, and thereby ushering in humanity’s inevitable enslavement to insect overlords, or it is thinking “What the hell am I doing on this ping pong ball?” Either way, it should be killed.

The University of Colorado administration, apparently fed up with giant 420 (pot for you squares) gatherings every year, took photographs of many of the participants and is offering $50 for their identification. And if you know the girl in the picture you should have sex with her and then turn her in. Oh yeah, you like that don’t you, you dirty girl.

“In a storage yard in Taji, about 18 miles north of Baghdad, dozens of tanks were vandalized with painted gang symbols…” Yeah that’s right, street gang members are joining the U.S. army and they’re tagging tanks. Somehow I can’t think of anything more ridiculous right now.

I don’t know what this is, but it’s mesmerizing and will steal 20 minutes of your life from you if you’re not careful.

Miller Beer is to be the first company to use Tempra Technology’s patented I.C. ‘cold can’ technology. The specially modified cans use proprietary engineering to create a temperature drop that will reduce the can’s contents by a minimum of 30° Fahrenheit in just three minutes. And then maybe next they can invent a can that makes Miller taste better. Wouldn’t that be something?
