The Goliath spider, a species of tarantula found in South America is the size of a dinner plate. Unlike other spiders, this one will actually hiss at you. Yes, it can make sounds(!) It feeds on birds, cheeseburgers and pizza. It is highly aggressive and will bite without conscience or mercy. Also, it can attack from a distance by flicking special hairs from its body at anything it considers a threat (that means you). These hairs are extremely irritating to the skin, and were they to get in your eyes, nose or mouth, it would hurt. A lot. For years, I’ve felt the rainforest wasn’t being destroyed quickly enough.

I guess it is no secret that David Letterman doesn’t think much of President Bush. And I guess it is no secret that my superhero secret identity is Jacob Jackson. Or wait, that was a secret. Damn, I need to get this Backspace key fixed.

A pretty image collection featuring things being smashed, taken using high-speed photography. Me like to smash things good. Me like pretty pictures.

Gotta love open standards. Here’s a clock where the numbers you see for the clock are randomly pulled from images on Flickr, using Flash no less. Seriously, I’m old enough to remember when Flash was sorta stupid, now its all growed up!

Friends, the Internet was not giving this weekend. So rather than post some new half-assed movie I’m just going to post some old half-assed movie that I’ve already posted before. But its something from Japan so we all know it will be great. And by ‘great’ I mean ‘completely f@cked up’.

Many High-Definition TV owners report that their pets are having trouble distinguishing the realistic picture from reality itself.

Introducing Letchey, the Downtown-Julie-Brown of garden gnomes. The best part of this video has got to be the soundtrack. If I listen to anymore of it I’m going to whip off my pants and start humping ceramics! Bom bom bom bom - bup bup bup bup bup bup bup bup - bom bom bom bom…

The Prejudice Map was created by doing Google searches on what citizens of various countries are known for. For example, searching for “germans are known for *”, and compiling the most common results.

When I get my own place the guest bathroom toilet is going to look like this. And then I’ll put a sign in there saying “Missing: Pet Anaconda, last seen near guest bathroom. Loves water”. It is all part of my plan to create the most intimidating pooping experience ever.

Who will win this fantastical musical showdown? Trick question, everybody wins.

This is all sorts of useful.

A short clip of an ILM screen test from the upcoming Transformers movie has leaked out onto daddy Internet. And I have to tell you that it is sweeter than a sweet slice of sweetness on a sweet summers day. And that is if you don’t like Transformers.

Here is a funny little Australian beer commercial. I love it because it features the combination of all my most favorite things in the world: a sexy brunette, a hot tub, and Steve Irwin. No! I mean beer. Yeah, beer beer beer. I gotta go.

#10: Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK’s head exploded out of sheer amazement.

I don’t understand Spanish so unfortunately I can’t tell you how these voodoo fishermen make the fish jump right into their boat. But an educated guess says it is either mental powers or the fact that they have the Top Gun anthem playing in the background.

…and just about everything else for that matter. I would have expected it to cost more. And be shinier.

In this game instead of using the keyboard or mouse to control your ship, you use your voice. For example, when you want to shoot you shout PAH! Kind of fun, kind of embarassing, and most definitely best played while at work.

Deciding to make a statement every time he’s asked for or signs his name, a 19-year-old PETA staff member—formerly known as Chris Garnett—has legally changed his name to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com.

And if he ever needs any spare cash, he can name his first child ‘GoldenPalace’.

This guy takes childrens drawings of monsters and superheros and recreates them with his mad artistic skillz. Super cool!

A 14-year-old girl who received a new Apple iPod opened the sealed box and found raw mystery meat inside.
