Must See: A little kid singing ‘Folsom Prison Blues’

This kid is five years old, sports a He-Man/Prince Adam of Eternia haircut, plays a toy guitar and sings with an adorable little speech impediment (I'm stuck in Folsom Pwison...)

Extra points for the 'The Who' t-shirt...

Luke Skywalker USB Drive

Although this is not the most life-like recreation of Mark Hamill I've ever seen, nor the most convenient flash drive ever (heck, it's not convenient at all - look at the last picture I posted on here), it is still cool.

What better way to prove your geekiness than to use your laptop upside down to allow your Luke Skywalker USB drive to remain upright?

Bake cookies in your car while you work!

We know that cars get ridiculously hot in the summer, so put that heat to good use and bake some cookies in your car!

Simply placing the cookies on the dash does not brown the cookies, but I wonder if there are a few minor enhancements involving tin foil that would help get you closer to that perfect cookie.

Bruno: don’t Say We Didn’t Warn You

A movie theater giving a gentle reminder that Bruno really is that offensive.

The Buzz Aldrin Punch

I've heard about this, but never knew there was a video of it! Buzz Aldrin punches a guy in the face after being accused of lying about the moon landing. This just takes all of the astronauts up a notch or two in my mind: they really are that badass!

At the time this occurred, Aldrin was 72 years old.

Nirvana vs. Rick Astley – "Never Gonna Give Your Teen Spirit up"

Nirvana vs Rick Astley - "Never Gonna Give Your Teen Spirit up"
I didn't like this at first, but it has grown on me. The vocals on the chorus do not quite match up with the pitch of the music, but the beat is spot on and I just can't deny the brilliance of the premise. The music video improves upon the simple musical mashup by magically making it look like Kurt Cobain is singing a few select lyrics.

There, I fixed it!

The worst of "Do it yourself" culture has manifest itself:

From the plywood car door (with complimentary chain and padlock despite a still-missing window)

To the skateboard "spare tire"

To the plastic-lined El Camino truck bed serving as a swimming pool


Human ingenuity proves to sometimes just be really dumb.

Also:
In-window air conditioner unit installed into a car and powered by a gas generator.

A missing front-wheel of a bike replaced by a shopping cart (to be fair, the guy's from tire was probably swiped while he was at the grocery store)

Sharpie paint-job on a car

Flashlights duct-taped to the front of a car whose headlights were recently smashed in a wreck.

Nora, the Piano Cat

We all know keyboard cat. Now meet his distant cousin, Piano Cat. Beautifully composed and recorded, an orchestra accompanies a pre-recorded and edited video of a cat "playing" the piano.
Enjoyable throughout, the cat does not begin until about 1:05. My favorite is the melody played by the cat at 2:52, which is then echoed by the orchestra.
Although slightly gimmicky, this is real music, and I would enjoy it without knowing it was a cat playing the piano.

Vague, but true tales of animal violence (WARNING: the stories are not true)

Off the wall and often funny explanations for the weirdest images on the web. Presented as a 'news' site, such stories as:

"Humans Rode Dinosaurs"
Creation Museum officials report they have found proof when Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden they left on the backs of friendly dinosaurs.

"Armed dolphins are loose"
Chagrined Navy officers admit that several dolphins with poison dart guns attached to their flippers have escaped their enclosures and have been seen stalking bathers along Texas beaches.

"Heroic Warriors Battle Carp"


All of these stories run alongside strange pictures, photoshopped images, and photos of questionable content. Most of the 'stories' are about animals, but are not exclusive in their subject matter.
