Why buy when you can Rent-a-Di1do? (Obviously NSFW and, I hope, a spoof).

Keyboard Car Mod

We feature a lot of computer mods and a lot of stupid car mods but how about one that combines the two together into the ‘Keyboard Car’

Moonwalking in Nature

This is an excellent video of a bird called a Manakin Moonwalking just like Michael Jackson as part of its mating ritual.
a whole post about Jacko and no jokes or puns – we must be getting bored of the sad paedo now!)

Laptop Thief

I hope you are not the person to whom the professor is referring in the this audio clip. If there was ever a time to regret doing something then this lecture is that moment. What starts off as an ordinary biochemistry lecture (this link simply sets the stage) ends up being the waking nightmare of some poor individual who has not quite comprehended the enormity of their actions. Here is a torrent and here is an zipped mp3. Gulp! From Boing Boing
*Update* Here’s a sweet little pictoral version of the rant.

Some of my friends are dummies

Here’s an odd job – inflating blow-up dolls all day. It might sound like an unusual way to make a living but they’re used as cheap bodies in crowd shots inthe movies.

I’ll have a Snakeskin Tambourine and Tommy’s Pinball Machine please

I’m miffed that I only just found out about the auction that took place today for the property of John ‘The Ox’ Entwistle – late bassist with The Who. The auction contained many, many odd lots including his own pinball machine, a Novelty Troll Metronome or a pair of ‘comedy skeletons‘ used to prank guests.

Jokes with Realistic Endings

Q: What do you get when you cross a chicken with a centipede?
A: A media circus about the debate over the morals and ethics of genetic engineering.
Q: A Blonde and a Brunette jump off a tall building at the same time. Who hits the ground first?
A: Both of them hit the ground at the same time. Hair colour doesn’t affect acceleration due to gravity.
These and other Jokes with Realistic Endings can be found on this Something Awful forum thread.

Google Search: prostitutes near leeds

What do churches, pro-life, tv news and hotels all have in common? Quite a lot if the new Google local search is to be believed in this amusing search from a work colleague. (I’m sensing an off-shoot to our recurring ‘One of these things is not like the others’ posts on Google’s Image Search).

RJD2 – 1976 video – Awesome

Perennial favourite DJ RJD2 has an awesome new video out for his track 1976. It uses a photo-realistic montage of images from Cuba and one of the sweetest tunes from his last album Since We Last Spoke.

thanks Carl

I guess that this is an advert for an adult/OAP dummy for use in medical training but it’s freaky. Just check out the bottom left image!

More Google Goodies

Google’s localisation is running full steam ahead at the moment with the introduction of a handful of UK-specific tools. First up, the superb Google Maps goes into public beta – it’s way better than Multimap for directions, detail and clarity of maps. Next up is the Google Local service to help you find a pizza or taxi near you. Finally, pub quizzes will never be the same once everyone discovers Google SMS.

Loch Eye The Noo!

I hate conspiracy theories (well, not the conspiracies themselves, they ‘re amusing – it’s the people who believe in them that I detest). Anyhoo, I’ve not seen anything on the Loch Ness Monster – until recently that is.

It seems that Nessie might have toothache after carelessly ripping a deer in half. I don’t buy the idea of a tartan branch of the Men In Black but it’s a fancy looking tooth nonetheless.

Formula 1 vs Street Cars

A Mercedes A160 A-Class and an E-50 Saloon are given a 70 second head start over the 1997 McLaren Mercedes F1 Car at Silverstone’s 3.2 mile circuit. Who do you think wins the race? Murray Walker commentates (which should show that this isn’t exactly a new video).

Geograph UK – a photographic project

Extending the whole Geourl and Geocaching trends, a new project has been started called Geograph. The idea this time is to get a photographic record of every grid square of the British OS maps. Users can submit any photo they have of a location or you can browse other people’s photos.

Bye Bye Bill

Sad news for all Kylie fans. William Baker, Kylie’s stylist for the past few years since Kylie’s re-invention, has parted company with the megastar. On a personal note, I’d like to wish Bill all the best but I doubt he’ll need much help. (Full Disclosure: Bill was a good friend of mine at school)

Virtual Bartender 2

We posted the first solo virtaulbartender website a while back and it seemed as popular as these things tend to be (it must be something to do with the combination of scantily-clad women, beer and computers. Virtual Bartender 2 is now out and to save you the work of trying to work out what commands will work we’ve decompiled the flash and can point you towards this file and this one so that you can try all commands (try Jedi Knight for one of my favourites).

YOUNGBLOOD – The Funky Brass Band

I make no secret about my love of unusual music and I love it even more when the music is catchy and accessible by people who wouldn’t normally hunt out this stuff so I’m massively indebted to my friend Lee for pointing me to Youngblood – a brass band from the States who play remarkably funky tunes that remind me of the marching band tunes that Maceo Parker did back in the 70′s. The best thing about Youngblood’s site is that there are plenty of tracks to stream to get a good feel for the band. They’re also playing all three days Glastonbury Festival this year so search them out and tell them we sent you.

ANIMAAAAAAALLL!

Drummerworld has loads of very, very cool videos of drum battles between the funkiest drummers on the planet (Billy Cobham, Jabo, Clyde Stubblefield, Neil Peart, Ed Shaughnessy, Cosy Powell, Charlie Watts – the list is endless) but best of all has to be the battle between Buddy Rich and Animal Muppets.

The very worst poetry in the universe

This is a fairly inconsequential post but since we’re all getting excited about the forthcoming Hitch Hikers Guide film I thought I’d do it anyway. I always wanted to chase up this guy ever since I heard the original radio play refer to him but it’s only now that I find myself doing so. According to Douglas Adams, Paul Neil Milne Johnstone wrote the worst poetry in the Universe – worse even than the dreaded Vogons. Apparently he wrote this shocking poem and was probably living here when he did so. They were at school together. I wonder if young Master Johnstone was the school bully…
