This site features a collection of absurd, but real, US patents. I think my favorite is The Toilet Snorkel. Hmmmm? Yes, The Toilet Snorkel.

As if there wasn’t enough trouble for Florida alligators…

“Even as one of the ultimate predators, the alligator can still fall victim to the ‘teamwork’ strategy brought out by the pack mentality and social structure of canines…”

Just some cool pictures of Manta Rays. That is all.

Sugar Bush is the republican Forrest Gump of the rodent world- somehow finding herself involved in any patriotic situation of note. That squirrel gets around.

Bad-ass shirt-folding techniques from the ninjas in asia. The shit works, I just tried it. Possibly brought to you from the same people who provided the helpful video on How To Not Look Asian.

Two videos of a dude jumping his Toyota Corolla. The second one with the arm wave is sure to be a classic. And you might want to browse the rest of the guy’s site. He’s also quite handy with carpentry, leather, and stained glass!

The low-level workings of Google’s infamous page ranking system are finally explained.

This is pretty nuts. I can’t stop watching it. It’s like something from a cartoon!

This must be some sort of new bunting technique or something. It looks like it worked out well for him.

A collection of (usually) hilarious pictures someone named Jeremy Wilson likes for a variety of reasons. If you have some spare time you can also help me solve the mystery of why so many furries are commenting there.

I find this incredibly hypnotizing, and I think I went to highschool with this girl. Actually, I think everyone went to highschool with this girl. (Warning: Loud music out of nowhere!)

What could be cuter than twin teenage girls singing white nationalist songs? Badgers mutilating each other perhaps, but since I couldn’t find any video of that I present to you Prussian Blue- the neo nazi Olsen twins.

On their official site which I refuse to create an actual link to (prussianblue.net), you can see clips from their music videos in the store section. I recommend watching them because they sing as well as I do, which is to say badly and without enunciation.

Needlepoint just stopped being polite and got real. Cross stitching gets subversive

The funniest answering machine message you will ever hear.

George Bush doesn’t care about white trashy people.

Unfortunately we don’t have a ‘Horse Sex’ category, so this one is just going to have to get filed under ‘disturbing’.

If you’re trying to find the video of this ‘event’, you should go to this link.

Michelle Kosinski of NBC’s Today gets caught trying to make the northeast flooding look worse than it actually is. All she wanted was just a little hurricane and maybe a breached levee. Was that too much to ask? Mother Nature, you can be so cruel!

An interesting look at the McMansions of the religious world.

This is a Java application that runs in a browser window. You can use the Perception Laboratory’s Face Transformer to change the age, race or sex of a facial image, to transform it to the style of a famous artist, to make an exagerated caricature or even make an ape of yourself!

An assumption is made that if you’re serious about the web, you’re using Firefox. Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that lets you add bits of DHTML to any web page to make it behave better than it was originally designed. For example, you could insert competitors prices into Amazon listings or insert links to bittorrents into Netflix listings. Hundreds of existing scripts are provided for web-based mashup.
