The true air speed velocity of an unladen swallow

Using statistics and important arguments from 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', the eternal question is answered - "Just how fast does a European Swallow fly?". It's a simple questiuon of weight ratios:

Add more cowbell to any song

In or behind?

Is that girl in the barrell or behind the barrel? Is that kid in that car trunk or behind the car? Really pointless - mostly because I'm usually wrong and it infuriates me.

They say that everybody has a doppelganger. Famous people have the benefit that smart-asses on the internet take the time to find theirs for them:

Horse Balls – More fun than playing with…uh…

No. It's not how it sounds. This site is mostly recommended because of the ridiculous but memorable name, but this is actually a site about inflatable toy balls for the enrichment of horses. There is a video (with "really cool" music) of horses playing with these balls, which are basically an inflatable ball with a small handle on it. The horses remind me of my dogs cheerfully playing with rawhide bones or other chew toys, so it's worth seeing if you like animals.

Flash floods are badass

The first video is by Park Ranger Kelly Brownson, and catches the beginnings of a faster-moving flood as it goes by him on a bridge. Very fast and very powerful, this flood damaged or destroyed 6 homes not far from the bridge where he filmed.
The second are from David Rankin, also of southern Utah, who has captured flash flood footage of several flash floods. Getting to see so many in one clip kind of gives you a 'cross-section' of flash floods. His shadow occasionally falls on the passing flood debris, which inadvertently gives some perspective to just how big these floods are. Most of these videos find him standing in a dry riverbed with the flood approaching, and he steps aside at the last moment.
