The Sacred Cow was Franklin D. Roosevelt’s personal plane. The term Air Force One was not used at that time.
This is the story of a humpback whale that had become entangled in a fishing net. The whale was exhausted and motionless when discovered by Michael Fishbach, co-founder of the Great Whale Conservancy. I’ll admit to tearing up a bit at the end of this, but then I cry when watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
I heard about Star Wars Uncut while listening to a podcast that I subscribe to. Rather than trying to describe it myself, I’ve included the description from the project people themselves:
In 2009, Casey Pugh asked thousands of Internet users to remake “Star Wars: A New Hope” into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. Within just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. The creativity that poured into the project was unimaginable.
SWU has been featured in documentaries, news features and conferences around the world for its unique appeal. In 2010 we won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media.
Finally, the crowd-sourced project has been stitched together and put online for your streaming pleasure. The “Director’s Cut” is a feature-length film that contains hand-picked scenes from the entire StarWarsUncut.com collection.
This video is a blast. It is, however, over two hours long so either set aside a big block of time, or watch in snippets.
In the immortal words of Larry The Cable Guy, “I don’t care who you are, that’s some funny stuff.”
Note: For some reason, the accounts that post this video on YouTube keep getting shut down and the video goes missing. This is the third time I’ve had to find another source for it. Hopefully, this time it will stay up!
This video will make you feel small. It’s a simulation of the known universe starting from the surface of the Earth and traveling outward to the cosmic horizon. This video is available in HD so do yourself a favor and kick the resolution up to 720p and watch it full screen.
This an oldie but a goodie:
Five surgeons from big cities are discussing who makes the best patient to operate on.
The first surgeon, from New York , says, “I like to see accountants on
my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is
numbered..”The second, from Chicago , responds, “Yeah, but you should try
electricians! Everything inside them is color coded.”The third surgeon, from Dallas , says, “No, I really think librarians
are the best, everything inside them is in alphabetical order”The fourth surgeon, from Los Angeles chimes in: “You know, I
like construction workers… Those guys always understand
when you have a few parts left over.”But the fifth surgeon, from Washington DC, shut them all up when he
observed: “You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on.
There’s no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine. Plus, the
head and the ass are interchangeable
This is pretty cool. These guys are actually walking on the underside of the ice.
I haven’t posted a photo gallery in a while, so here you go people. Thanks to my Aunt for sending me these.
This guy is amazing. It just goes to show you, somewhere there is a person that has mastered every skill imaginable.
Your Kung fu is weak…
So, you think you know something about the Government of the United States, eh? Time to put up or shut up. Click on the link below to take a quiz that is composed of 30 questions, 20 of which used to be on the U.S. citizenship test. They cover subjects from government leaders, to the Constitution and everything in between. Just for comparison’s sake, I scored a 27 out of 30. Leave your scores in the comments section below (always assuming anyone is actually reading this).
