(Lucky)

Watch in stunned awe at this collection of 'close calls' - some of the luckiest people ever, escaping death by a hair's-breadth as a chaotic, out-of-control universe hurls massive deadly objects at them - and misses.

(Stunt)

The year: 1976. The daredevil: Kenny Powers. The challenge: Could a car jump a distance of one mile? Known as the 'SUPERJUMP', this well-beyond-insane stunt hinged on the performance of a rocket-powered Lincoln Continental capable of reaching speeds of 280 mph. Years in planning, at a cost of over a million dollars, the event was to be nothing less than the greatest automotive stunt ever attempted... Would Powers clear the St. Lawrence river, or die a spectacular death right in front of thousands of horrified onlookers?

Old-timey photographs are creepy enough as it is. But this guy makes them super creepy. He was inspired by the changing portraits in The Haunted Mansion to create these spine-tingling 'haunted portraits' that change as you walk past them...

(Doomed)

10,000 REASONS CIVILIZATION IS DOOMED.



"Welcome to the 10,000 Reasons Civilization is Doomed website. This site was started by six friends who, sitting around the dinner table one Saturday night, came to the conclusion that civilization was doomed. We felt this way not because of the inevitable dimming of our sun, or an errant asteroid, but rather because of the idiocy of our times. Frankly, we are tired of the fake optimism, superficiality, non-talented celebrities, doped-up athletes, dishonest and illiterate politicians, corporate thieves, wife-beaters and evangelical terrorists rampant in the world today and we decided that one way of making ourselves feel better would be to list them for all the world to see and to add upon."

(Reflexes)

Fast reflexes - do you think you have them? Well, do you? Do you, punk?
I'm sorry. I called you a punk just then. I didn't mean it.
Test your reflexes by trying the following challenge...


















This came from Darktick.com. Darktick made me chortle in his bio by ending it with:
"He is currently in a never ending search for happiness and believes that he has found everywhere it is not."
(Wasted)

James Brown is more wasted in this interview (on Sonya Live) than anyone I've ever seen. Dude is obliterated. He responds to questions by blurting out the choruses of completely random James Brown songs. It's almost painful to watch. (Almost, but not quite.)

(Squeeze)

British power pop doesn't get any better than this. Squeeze performing their 1981 song 'Is That Love" on Top Of The Pops.



Squeeze - Is That Love

You've left my ring by the soap,
Now is that love?
You cleaned me out you could say broke,
Now is that love?
The better better better it gets
The more these girls forget
That that is love.
You won't get dressed you walk about,
Now is that, is that
A teasing glance has pushed me out,
Now is that, is that
The tougher tougher tougher it gets
The more my lips frequent
Now that is love.

Beat me up with your letters, your walk out notes,
Funny how you still find me right here at home.
Legs up with a book and a drink,
Now is that love that's making you think.

You've called my bluff Im not so hot,
Now is that love
My assets froze while yours have dropped,
Now is that, is that
It's the cupid cupid cupid disguise
That more or less survived
Now that is love.

Beat me up with your letters, your walk out notes,
Funny how you still find me right here at home.
Legs up with a book and a drink,
Now is that love that's making you think.

You've made my bed the finger points
Now is that, is that love
The more you more you more you cool down
The easier love is found
Now that is love.

Here's an excerpt from their video for 'Hourglass'. This was their biggest hit here in the U.S., and the kooky video was actually directed by Ade Edmondson who played Vyvian on The Young Ones.

(Moron)

OMFG. We need to impeach this f**king moron. I literally cannot believe what is happening to this country. Folks, we cannot let America continue this way. These people are looting the treasury, mortgaging our grandchildren and shitting on every last one our freedoms. They are perpetuating monstrous acts of evil, ACTUAL CRIMES, and they are getting away with it. How can this administration still be in power? I am being completely serious right now. America. What happened?


"I made my position clear, about this war on terror. I uh and by the way the enemy made their position clear yet again when they when ... when um... when we're able to...stop em."

(Gibson)

TOP TEN MOVIES MEL GIBSON WILL NEVER MAKE:

#10 - Manischewitz Sunrise
Nick Frescawitz gets the toughest assignment of his career when he's required to bring in his old cheder buddy, now a drug dealer who is trying to go straight.

#8 - MAD DOG 20/20 MAX 4: The Pacific Coast Highway Warrior
Max lends his aid to a small band of survivors in post-apocalyptic California who are trying to transport a tanker truck full of precious fortified wine while being attacked by a band of savage, sober mohawked marauders.

#7 - Beard On A Wire
Rick Jarmstein put a drug dealer behind bars. The Witness Protection Program moved him around and hid his identity. Now they have him posing as a Hasidic Jew in Detroit, but his cover is blown when a former girlfriend (Goldie Hawn) insists that he shave, at about the same time that the now-released drug dealer has caught up to him.

#6 - Lethal Kippah

#4 - Sefirot Signs
Things go awry when Gibson and his brother discover a pattern of perfectly carved crop circles left the night before by extraterrestrials who are trying to study Kabbalah.

#3 - The Man Without A Foreskin

#2 - Kosher Chicken Run
A group of kosher chickens plan to escape their prisonlike coop. When the sinister shochet Mrs. Traibor decides to use the hens as the main ingredient in glatt chicken pot pies, Saul, an American rooster (voiced by Gibson) promises to teach the chickens how to pose as neveila.

#1 - BritHeart
In a time of chaos, Mohel Wallace gathers and motivates an amateur but passionately rebellious circumcision army.

(Bottle)

The idea of a message in a bottle is kind of cool. There's an element of hope involved - that the lonely message, carried on random currents to unknown locales, might be found by an arbitrary stranger far, far away. It's possible to order a MIAB on the internet, and have it sent to a known person, but for a true web simulation of the experience, the following web site is amazing:













"Walked out this morning, dont believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems Im not alone at being alone
Hundred billion castaways, looking for a home
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s..."

(Mech)

Walking robots are a staple of science fiction films, and an obsession to the Japanese. Geeks the world over daydream about climbing into the cockpit of a battlemech or an AT-ST and striding into robotic battle.









Now, for 36 million yen (US$312,000), that geek dream has become a reality. The Sakakibara-Kikai Land Walker is now for sale. As the following video shows, it's kind of clunky and rattley and not really bipedal (in a true leg lifting manner). However, as an exhibition piece, it's hard to imagine a machine offering more geek credibility.....

Well, I thought I had seen it all, but it's all been topped. Big time.
