The Miracle of Life
Depending on your point of view – it’s either a miracle of life or a sticky mess that you have to clean up after your preferred type of fumble. This video of sp3rm’s passage inside a body looks more like a Pixar outtake from Finding Nemo but is very swish indeed but how did they fit that many cameras inside to get all of those shots? And without wanting to give away the surprise ending – is that a piece of sweetcorn?
Muppets Mastermind
Remember the old Mastermind board game? Well, here’s a much better version from the Muppets featuring Dr Bunsen & Beaker.
Fanime Conventions are too bizarre for words
This video from FanimeCon is hilarious – just watch the face of the guy interviewing the fans in costume. I have no idea how he actually manages to keep a straight face when faced by streams of ugly nerds saying that they have the power to destroy the world by simply clicking their fingers and then showing him how big their sword is (note to nerd: if you can destroy the world by clicking your fingers then why do you need a sword?)
If you liked that video the there’s a second one here.
Britain’s First Jedi Member of Parliament
Jamie Reed will now forever be known as the first Jedi Member of Parliament in Britain after making his maiden speech in a debate on Racialand Religious Hatred. (Here’s a link to just his speech to make it easier to find).
Rubbermaid Paint Buddy
Very nice idea for a new product that’s due to hit the shelves later this year – the Rubbermaid Paint Buddy stores unused paint for touch ups. My only issue is that it the real world, paint cans stack neatly which is why I end up keeping half-full tins and these certainbly don’t look stackable so they wouldn’t save much space. Fix that problem and you’ve got a killer DIY product.
Google Earth
Just in case you’ve been living in a hole for the past few weeks, go here and download Google Earth. You have absolutely no reason for not doing so. Go on. It is free and it is one of the most fantastic bits of software I’ve seen in yoinks. Not only can you give yourself motion sickness and see you mum’s house, it proves once and for all that it’s a small world! I spent last night checking out F1 tracks… and the Eiffel Tower… and tried to find the Great Wall of China… and The Statue of Liberty… and… .. . (repeat and fade)
Michelin offers refunds, apology for F1 Debacle
In a move that has taken many people by surprise, including me, Michelin have announced that they will refund the entry price of anyone who attended the farce that was the 2005 American Grand Prix.
Great balls of fire
Take a bit of surgery, some surgical spirit, a mole and some flatulence… you might get some unexpected results.
Big beasties
A selection of humongous beasties. Link not suitable for vegans.
Places I’d rather not be
I’d really rather not be in this dragster
Pac Man Blinking Electric Guitar
Not sure if this is cool or rather sad so I’ll let you lot have a look at this Pac Man Electric Guitar and you can make up your own minds.
Google Media Player
Looks like Google are going ahead with launching their new media player today. I like the sound of this especially as it’s based on the excellent (and free) VLC software.
Unpicking a Key Mistake
Guy mistakely swallows the key to friend’s new truck whilst messing around. Guy can’t regurgitate key.. Guy goes to doctor for help. Doctor X-Rays the guy to see what’s up, says guy must wait for the key to pass through his system. Truck-owner not happy. Guy takes X-Ray to Al’s Lock and Key. Locksmith makes brand new key from studying the X-Ray image. Key works.
Pretty random.
Merkin Flashlight
The single most bizarre object I’ve ever seen for sale has to be this Merkin Flashlight. Every home should have one. (possibly NSFW)
Scorned wife sells Lotus for 50p
Never underestimate the vindictiveness of a scorned wife – she might sell your Lotus Esprit Turbo for 50p on eBay like Hayley Shaw did after hearing her husband (a DJ on Kerrang metal radio) offer to leave her and their children for uber-skank Jodie Marsh.
(I’m a little scared of Hayley though – she seems to have been buying d1ld0s on eBay if you look at her feedback!)
Man Tool Cleaner
Every keen gardener and p1mp needs a Man Tool Cleaner for keeping your ‘Hoes mud free and extend their working life’! Apparently their organic fertilizer is also ‘da sh1t’!

Forget reality TV, reality board games is where it’s at! Here’s your chance to play Monopoly Live online using 18 taxis fitted with GPS as your counters – technology at it’s finest.
Open Letter to the Kansas Schools Board
I’m a rational person, I like my cold, hard facts so you won’t find me agreeing with so-called creationists when talking about evolution. Don’t get me wrong, I think the Bible’s a great book but I’m more willing to see it as a collection of allegories and as a manual for life, not as a fact book. In some parts of America, creationists have such a hold on the education of their kids that many schools are not allowed to teach evolution and instead have to teach Adam and Eve as fact. Luckily, some people can express their disagreement in much more entertainingly eloquent ways than myself – check out this Open Letter to the Kansas school board and if you live in Kansas, please write to your senator and insist that they teach the Flying Spaghetti Monster with their creationist lessons.

Compressed Air Flying
I don’t think anyone thought that this attempt at Compressed Air flight would actually work – but it does beg the question why any sane person would enter a Japanese game show.
Thumb drive
Remember those stick on severed fingers that people used to stick on the boots (trunks) of their cars? Terribly funny, obviously. Well, I’m happy to announce that sad jokes keep up with technological advancements. The USB 2.0 thumb drive. Groo.
HubbleSite – Movie: Revelations
When I think of the Hubble telescope these days, I can’t help but be disappointed that it was binned after only 15 years. However, this short film demonstrates just how successful a mission it really was. Feast your eyes on some stunning images, cringe at some of the tacky fades, and try no to listen to the terrible music.
Hey baby, fancy a bike ride?
A personals style forum where people can meet is likely to be a good place to see a little ‘action’. However, here is a beautiful bit of lonely hearts baiting. I wish I could just see this guys face as he gets more and more livid! Observe, if you will, cyclotoursite’s colourful use of language in post number 17. Priceless.
Teenage Kicks 3000
For everyone who misses John Peel, here’sTeenage Kicks 3000, an archive of audio footage.
Falling bikini lady
There have been a few ragdoll flash animations but this one is very elegant and beautiful yet, and at the same time, sick twisted and distoibed!
Archaic Medical Terms
Ever wondered what your granny’s on about when she prattles on about ailments such as ‘buboes’, ‘bladder in throat’ or ‘softening of the brain’? Wonder no more as here is a comprehensive encyclopeadia of archaic medical terms.
The Return of Steve, Don’t Eat It!
We’ve posted previous episodes of Steve, Don’t Eat It! but the latest one where the lead-stomached eponymous hero attempts to make and drink Prison wine is retch-worthy – don’t read this on an empty belly.
Solar Death Ray
Every home needs a Solar Death Ray. It’s the ultimate boy’s toy for all budding pyromaniacs but it’s still not a patch on this bad boy.
