LEGO Planter

Legoplanter_1

A few days ago I posted about Park Planters which cost a steep $150. Well today I was browsing around Smith & Hawken on my lunch break and found the little air fern that was included in the $150 wallet rape. The fern only cost $5 so I decided to just build my own planter out of the the best building materials known to man, LEGOs. (The plant is actually in it's own pot inside the structure).

If it's made out of lego, I love it. I would love to have something like this in my living room.  [ LEGO Planter ]

Are Rock Band Drums like Real World Drums?

It’s been widely reported that playing Rock Band drums is eerily similar to playing real world drums, far more so than any other fake plastic rock instrument...Kevin, who regularly gets 98 to 99 percent on expert drums in Coheed and Cambria’s “Welcome Home”, put that theory to the test in a recent epsiode of G4’s Attack of the Show. He met with Coheed and Cambria and substituted for the real drummer!

G4tv gets to the bottom of this Rock Band rumor. Pretty amazing, check it out.[ RB Drums VS The Real Deal ]

HAT: Heaven Admissions Test

194515

You must answer at least TEN of the following questions.

Read this examination paper in its entirety before answering. You are reminded that you have three hours to complete this examination, and this is your only opportunity to sit this examination, so answer carefully and accurately. Good luck.

1. "Dubito ergo cogito, cogito ergo sum." Assess the implications of Descartes' supposition in relation to the doctrine of God's infallibility. Does doubt finally prove God's existence or his absence within this paradigm?

2. Identify your five favourite poems by Coventry Patmore, and defend your preferences.

3. Assume Douglas Adams, however jokingly, was right in postulating that the answer to the meaning of life was "42." Calculate accordingly the square root of the meaning of death to five decimal places.

4. Name every person you've ever hurt in your life-- and not just the ones you know you hurt, but all of them-- and explain the reasons for your actions. Postulate remedies for at least twenty of those people.

5. It is generally noted that nature abhors a vacuum. If this is the case, why do Hoovers continue to exist? What does this suggest to you about nature, and, indeed, about the future of reality TV?

6. Is evil a necessary aspect of human existence? Why or why not? Note: do not invoke Nietzsche in answering this; God is still pissed after the whole "God is dead" thing.

7. Is the Christian God heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, carnisexual, or herbisexual? Explain with references to indications of God's 'proclivities' that may be gleaned from the Bible.

Ceiling_cat_playing_god_watching_yo

8. God can see you when you masturbate. Explain why this does or does not bother you. Caveat: Do not argue that you don't; he knows better.

9. Your dead relatives also have front-row seats when you masturbate. Explain why this does or does not bother you. Again, do not argue that you do not masturbate, and think long and hard on your grandmother's face as you articulate your 'gendericity.'

10. Write your own version of Dante's Commedia. Where would you situate yourself in this version of purgatory, hell, and heaven, and why?

11. Turn the ink from your examination paper into either blood or wine (take your pick; this is supposed to be fun, after all!).

12. Justify triskaidekaphobia.

14. Express your deepest love in one word.

15. Express your deepest hate in one letter.

16. Is time past gathered in time future?

Avril_springer

17. Prove that Avril Lavigne and Jerry Springer are indeed the same person.

18. Perform one act of genuine faith and love, and describe the emotions you have as you do so. Keep in mind, this has to be an act of true faith and love, and not just what you assume one is.

19. "Brevity is the soul of wit," Shakespeare indicates. Prove this with your examination paper.

20. Can you honestly say you've given more to the world than it has given you? If so, address your wrongedness in the form of a Johnny Carson monologue. If not, address your plenty in the form of a Van Morrison song.

21. Write an elegy for Hitler that does not invoke either jingoistic Teutonism, cheap patriotism, or vindictive anti-Semitism.

22. What is the secret of the Caramilk bar?

23. Caress the inner truth within you, and describe it. Remember, your grandparents can read your answers.

24. Have the guts: write your deepest desire, the one you most desperately try to pretend does not exist.

25. Explain the virtues of bukkake in the form of a poetic epistle.

26. Explain the last time you cried.

27. Explain the last time you didn't cry, but wish you had.

28. Write the perfect equivalent of a kiss.

29. Does malt truly do more than Milton can to justify the ways of God to man? Why or why not?

and

30. Write a funny and intelligent parody of this examination paper that turns the tables on God. Do this without invoking the age-old joke of the platypus.

THE END

- Christie St. Martin and Dr.Jeremy Sharp

Your Three words

A special Y3W montage featuring a live performance by the Counting Crows that aired on GMA Saturday March 29th, 2008. Submit your three words now and watch again in 2 weeks! Music: Counting Crows

If one word can convey a lot about your state of mind, just think how much three words can express. That's the hope, at least, behind "Express Yourself," the new outreach project from i-CAUGHT.

ABC's "your three words" segment has been catching on. Here are a few for your viewing pleasure. Truly wonderful but maybe next time ABC News can keep the camera off Adam Duritz. His hair gets in the way of my enjoyment of everything.

UFO guy makes a lot of sense. Despite him potentially watching Signs one too many times. DUDE, the aliens are not made of water it's just their ONLY weakness. Which somehow didn't happen until the end of the movie despite our world's atmosphere being filled with water vapour and umm the fact that it took place on a corn farm, as corn leaves collect dew don'tchaaaa know?  I'm sure there is a logical reason behind it.

The world's best counterfeit games

Black_mesaarticle_image 

First of all, this is a fantastic list. My only real concern is that I have played all of them. Which makes me think I may need to re-evaluate how I spend my spare time. There is a slim chance that future employers will not be impressed that I have spent a considerable amount of time in the Black Mesa Research Facility. You know, doing your standard scientific research, such as radiation, rocketry, theoretical physics, lasers, experimental propulsion, hydraulics, robotics, hydroelectricity, genetics, applied mathematics and perhaps dabbling in chemistry and all manner of physics research Which sounds really impressive, until my future employer asks for references. Something tells me he is not going to buy the story that a Black Ops team set a nuclear device programmed to self-detonate inside Black Mesa and therefore nobody is available for comment.

Wait what was I talking about? OH LOOK, The world's best counterfeit games. Check it out.

It's an all-new seas  Watch the season two premiere for free and don't miss The Tudors every Sunday at 9pm ET/PT, only on Showtime. It's an all-new season of betrayal, backstabbing, and beheading. King Henry VIII rules England, but his Queen-to-be, Anne Boleyn, rules his heart. Order Showtime now by calling 1-866-465-SHOW and get a $25 rebate. Learn more at http://www.sho.com/

Showtime has stepped up their internet game and brought the entire first episode of The Tudors season 2 to YouTube. I have actually seen the entire first season of The Tudors and I like it for probably for all the wrong (maybe right.  if it was intended to make me drool) reasons. It sure is steamy. The Tudors lives up to Showtime's reputation of being on the border of late night soft-core pr0n while still striving to be historically relevant.

Unforunately, if you live outside of the United States, NO TUDORS ON YOUTUBE FOR YOU. You'll have to illegally download it as per usual. NOT that I am encouraging you to do that. Pirating is wrong. So is soft core porn. And HISTORY. That's right, you don't get to drink Sparks, you don't get to have Starbucks drive-thru locations and you can't get your favorite shows on youtube. Sorry to ruin your day. On the bright side your country probably has better beer and some magical dish called poutine. Enjoy. [ Tudors Season 2, Episode 1 - You Tube Stream ]

Knut the polar bear is a 'publicity-addicted psycho', says keeper as he risks his job to speak out

Knutsplitr_468x267

Markus Roebke said Berlin Zoo's celebrity animal was obsessed with the limelight and howled with rage when denied an audience.
"Knut must go and the sooner the better," he said, insisting that the bear should be sent to an animal park where he received less attention.
"He is addicted to the whole show, the human adulation. It is not healthy.
"He actually cries out or whimpers if he sees that there is not a spectator outside his enclosure ready to ooh and aah at him.
"When the zoo had to shut because of black ice everywhere he howled until staff members stood before him and calmed him down."

In search of the world's Top 5 glasses of water

Tdy_vieira_bestwater_070720300w

I remember this summer, I was watching the Today show and they were doing a segment on the best tasting tap water in America. The best part about this segment was that they forced  Meredith Vieira to drink various glasses of mystery tap water and guess their origin. Poor pampered Meredith had to pretend like she could taste the difference between 10 or so glasses of room temperature water  knowing full well the water could be from Detroit or Buffalo or from the Bronx. More importantly Meredith had to pretend like she drinks tap water ALL the time. Meanwhile, Katie Couric sits at home, cackling with glee.

Well, luckly for the internet, the Discovery Channel is a little more thorough than just asking Meredith which tap water she prefers. Check it out. [ top 5 glasses of water ]

Hey everbody, look who's for sale...again.

8a0e_1

Funny thing about the internet... even on the slowest posting day ever (which is apparently today) you can always find Jesus for sale. Sort of. Or at least a water vapor image of Jesus. Or if water vapor images aren't really your cup of tea you have an alternative, provided you have $100,000 to spare, of being the proud owner of the face of jesus on a fireplace stone.

That's Jesus's face eh? I don't know what you're seeing but I am totally seeing the image of Aslan from The Chronicles of Narnia in my head. Which if you think about it, is a lot like Jesus.  You know, if Jesus were a fictional character Lion who sacrifices himself to save his people and can also make food and wine  grape juice (those kids were not of  legal age) magically appear.

The 10 Most Insane, Child-Warping Moments of '80s Cartoons

Turtlesapril

The ‘80s were supposed to be a harmless time for toys and the cartoons that sold them. Whether shilling lines of action figures or promoting characters who would eventually be action figures, these shows were designed to eat up kids’ attention in 30-minute blocks while ham-handedly promoting good citizenship and hygiene. In spite of this, cartoons sometimes snuck in certain moments that were clearly designed to break impressionable minds and pervert the youth of America. In the interests of helping a generation get through long-stewing cartoon-related stress disorders, we’re confronting the worst things the ‘80s ever did to us.

I remember all of these moments and cherish their child mind warping ways. But one childhood movie that warped me forever is missing from this list and that would be Sesame Street's Follow That Bird. Sure it's not a cartoon but it was definately intended for children and most definitely destroyed my perception on the world being a kind, fun, happy place. Big Bird runs away from home, only to be pretty much captured by Carnies, put in a cage, and as if he wasn't a big enough freak already, they paint him blue and put him on display for all to laugh at.
