If you have to rely on Youtube and other online outlets to catch the latest British TV then you may have missed Stavros Flatley (just slightly upstaged by Susan Boyle…) It’s unclear whether this act was advanced as dance, comedy, or uncategorized, but it’s definitely funny. Tetris Furniture Design – I wonder if there is [...]

There’s a book or a blog or both on just about everything by now.  And now Roto-Rooter has announced that they are seeking submissions for an entire book of wild and weird plumbing stories.  I don’t know if they have to be true or not, which might cut down on some of the best ones [...]

And there were sighs of joy and whatnot.  But it’s been approved by the necessary government agencies and there are probably plenty of empty car dealerships they can take over quickly. If ever there was a vehicle that goes “nurdle, nurdle” instead of “vroom, vroom” it’s the Tuk Tuk.  There’s even a twelve passenger model, [...]

Although it’s considerably more low tech than the Samsung LED sheep video, there is now a UK trial run of sheep as billboards, which could spread to more sheep a lot faster than the LED jackets, even if it’s not quite as fun.  But maybe if it works, there will be a combo; LED illuminated [...]

When you step into the world of blogging it’s nearly impossible to avoid tripping over Seth Godin’s name. There’s even a WordPress plugin entitled ‘What Would Seth Godin Do’, which incidentally has great reviews and has been downloaded almost 15,000 times. Some very unscientific data analysis involving typing in his name in Google and then [...]

I guess ‘people that look like their pets’ is now passe.  It’s now all about styling to look like your favorite Muppet.  And the comments to that post prove that Sam the Eagle really does have an odd sort of sex appeal. Also in the news: Beaker’s rendition of Ode to Joy (below) has been [...]

Last week Slashdot posted a more interesting way to teach geography than mere square miles or kilometers. How long before the politicians decide this warrants a whole new set of sister city/state relationships? And how can I get in on that?

Sooo… if only 50% of college students can correctly interpret a weather forecast stating 20% chance of rain are there really any conclusive findings?  Is this the fault of the forecasters, the current state of American education or the fact that this was a study conducted by the University of Washington and so presumably in [...]

I hate to say it but this a-ha video was always better than the original song.  But then it was the ’80′s when a lot more money and time went into the videos than the songs.  So now the famous video is back but with a new narrative voice, which was probably what it needed [...]

There’s an opening with Team Guinot – the only professional synchronized wing walking team in the world.  You’ll need a resume, picture, and know your weight in stones (bound to be an online calculator for that somewhere…)  Looks like you can also just try wing walking as something to learn as opposed to being a [...]
