Beat Dropping Macs to Baz’s Outback Epic: A day in the life of…(5/20)

1 – You think you have time on your hands, check out this music video made completely using the Mac desktop and programs. [via swissmiss]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kxDxLAjkO8]

2 – Fraggle Rock: The Live Action Musical, man that just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Off the bat you might think this is a crazy idea, but when Iron Man, Narnia, Inidana Jones and Wall-E prove complete and utter dominance over the box office, we can see why family films are the “green” way to go. All I really want to see in this is the Fraggles eat some Doozer buildings, which causes the Doozers to begin a Che-like revolution against their furry, multi-colored oppressors. Now that’s comedy. [via Variety]

3 – Watch the video attached to this page, then go outside and light up. I dare you. [via JoshSpear]

4 – This is generally how I feel about Monday mornings. [via Garfield Minus Garfield]

5 – Jonah Hill has been on a wild ride these past few years. Stealing scenes and winning over comedy critics in many of Judd Apatow’s recent hits, like Knocked Up, Superbad and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but now he’s making a step I could never have seen coming. He is reportedly heading up the project, and writing the script, for a silver screen version of 21 Jump Street. I’m not one to knock the show, it brought us Johnny Depp, Dustin Nguyen and Peter Deluise, not to mention a killer theme song by actress/star Holly Robinson Peete, but I don’t know if this is something that translates well. Narc’ing in high schools and busting pot rings might not hold the weight. Yet, if there is a Booker cameo by Richard Grieco, or if he actually turns out to be the villain, now we’re talking gold. [via FilmDrunk]

6 – This six minutes of stop motion animation must have taken months, but it’s worth years. [via GorillaMask via Liquid Generation]

7 – Foamy is back and this time I only have one word to say: cow-mouflage. [via ill will press]

8 – Have you ever wondered what “the good times” looked like? Check out this news video and learn. Pay close attention to the crawler on the bottom of the screen. [via swissmiss]

9 – Just in case you were wondering where Wile E. Coyote got all those neat gadgets, most of which he almost killed himself trying to use, here you go: The Online ACME Catalog. [via GorillaMask]

10 – It’s been years since we heard the beginning of this project, but we have finally got our first taste of Baz Luhrmann’s next epic film, Australia. Mmmmm, tastes like quality movie making to me. [via ComingSoon]

Selling Sets to Securing Stoltz: A day in the life of…(5/14)

1 – Taking a cue from the old days of television, the CW network has actually sold off the 3-hour primetime block of Sunday night to a media company, which will then pair up with an advertising company to develop and produce content. The commercials will actually own that block of time. I’m thinking we’re in for a mega-block-variety show featuring all the amazing things we can do the cup holders in the new Kia Sophia. Or something equally inane. [via Variety]

2 – This is one way to get rid of that pesky carpel tunnel syndrome, but on the down side, typing in UP+UP+DOWN+DOWN+LEFT+RIGHT+LEFT+RIGHT+B+A+START really fast is so much harder than it used to be. [via GorillaMask via Gizmodo]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c3q9K4cHzY]

3 – Those are the mornings when I crawl back under the covers all day. [via Garfield Minus Garfield]

4 – If the board game Life actually told the truth about your future, it might sound a little more like this. [via CollegeHumor]

5 – As if you needed another reason to want to see Wall-E, this years undoubted award winner for most adorable movie ever made, you can trek on over to the Wall-E website and build your own little cutesy creature. I swear, if this movie is as good as I think it will be, I might just marry it. I’m sure there’s a state I can do that legally in… [via ComingSoon]

6 – Even with the already predicted crushing win for Clinton in West Virginia last night, high ranking Democrats are getting louder about Clinton bowing out gracefully before June. I think they should point her to this website where wishes and dreams of the masses are shown for what will happen when Obama wins in November. Admittedly these are all said in jest, but the tone is legit. [via Tcritic via kottke]

7 – Nintendo is opening the doors to independent developers to add to their little wonder platform in the unveiling of WiiWare. This could definitely give Nintendo and edge since they will have constantly fresh and new content that will very likely be way outside the box. With that said, who gonna buy me one now? [via Starpulse]

8 – David Byrne, the wacky genius behind the band Talking Heads, is getting ready to take musical instrumentation to another level as he retrofits an entire building to play music. Knowing my luck, his premier musical interlude will happen when I am on a long winded customer service call with some dude on the seventh floor. [via Starpulse]

9 – Van Damme + Canne Film Festival = Hell Freezing Over. [via Film School Rejects]

10 – For the Battlestar Galactica fans out there, of which I am certainly one, get yourselves excited for the upcoming Caprica TV show because the indie-film icon himself, Eric Stoltz, has signed on. This is raising the bar, my friends. I smell Emmy nominations…[via ComingSoon]

Sticky Stamps to Street Fighter Goddess: A day in the life of…(5/12)

1 – A proposed increase of one penny a year for stamps is not really all that alarming or outrageous for me to hndle, but when that increase is announced two days after I just bought a new book of 41 cent stamps, now me no likey postman. Grrrr… [via CNN]

2 – I wonder how many pairs of socks it takes to ride this bike. [via JoshSpear]

3 – What kind of thoughts would run through your mind if you worked in a hospital that only treated video game characters and their completely outlandish array of injuries? It might sound something like this. [via CollegeHumor]

4 – NBC quietly nnounced a little while back that they were planning a spin-off to The Office, but no details have since come out about what the show will be about, but the spin-off tidal wave might only be beginning. House, which coincidentally is also owned by NBC, is going to be spun into another show starring a new private investigator character who will be introduced on the Sarcasticm Hospital phenom sometime later this season. Personally, I love House and if they give the spin-off the same attitude and charm, more power to them (and less power to me since I will become a lazy bum watching all this TV). [via Perez Hilton

5 - And a little bit of Jon's bondage side creeps out (which in turn, creeps me out as well). [via Garfiled Minus Garfield]

6 – Warner Brothers has created the full movie site for Get Smart. There are a handful of interactive things you can do, including creating your own agent for Control or Kaos. If you want to say hi, find the Kaos agent named Dunder, from the town of Mifflin. He’ll be the one doing two handed behind the back karate moves. [via ComingSoon]

7 – John McCain vowed to “fight evil” if he gets into the oval office. While that is a nice sentiment, it rings a tad dangerous since the idea of what is evil changes from person to person, and possibly from day to day. Most of what he talked about in his speech I completely agree falls under the banner of “evil”, but what happens when he decides that abortion is evil, gay rights are evil, or anything else the conservative right wing decides on that week? I’d rather hear someone come out against specific issues and detailed plans for change rather than making grand statements which were once used by people in the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition. Not exactly those you want to emulate. Oh, and his appearance recently on The Daily Show where he had to pull out a cue card just so he could make a joke about electing Dwight Schrute (the character from The Office) as his Vice President, well let’s be honest, that was pure pandering to an embarrassing level. [via CNN]

8 – This artist found out that puzzles made by the same brand are usually identical in piece structure, so you can easily make puzzle montages or mosaics. That could be the most exciting news in puzzling since someone actually finished that one with the picture of dogs playing poker and found out the pug on the right was cheating. I’m not bragging or anything, but I told you so. [via JoshSpear]

9 – An updated version of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”. No one really believes anymore when they hear the word “Cannonball”. Such a shame. [via CollegeHumor

10 - Here's one of the first pics of Moon Bloodgood as Chun-Li in the upcoming Street Fighter movie. It's looking like it could be rather cool, but it's hard to honestly find anything cooler than that actress's name. Seriously, Moon Bloodgood. She really should be a warrior goddess or something. [via Film School Rejects]

Good Ole’ Days to Goodie Goodie Robots: A day in the life of…(5/6)

1 – This safety video shows what it was like in the good ole’ days, a time of purity, cheer and rabid wolverines in your pants. [via Today's Big Thing]

2 – Sometimes the people who make these prank or spoof videos without the knowledge of the people involved are walking the thin line between comedy and public abuse, but in this case, since the person they chose to mock is Gary Busey, the fine line they cross is between sanity and public safety. How they made it out of there with their spleens intact I will never know. [via FilmDrunk]

3 – Now that GTA IV is out, here’s a great list of games that will unfortunately fall by the wayside. [via CollegeHumor]

4 – There is a charity foundation for kids suffering from Proteus Syndrome, but it’s down at the moment. So until then I wanted to link to this site about the Alex Hoag Run, which is an event to honor the memory of an amazing boy who died due to complications from the syndrome. Please make the time to check this out and learn. [via Jon]

5 – Going above and beyond the recorded predictions, Iron Man tromped all over the box office this weekend with a $201 million dollar intake, making it the second highest opening for a non-sequel in history (only behind Spider-Man). Not bad for Robert Downey Jr. and crew. That kind of money can almost afford the amount they spent on WD-40 to keep the suit from squeaking during the shoot. Who would’ve thought? [via FilmDrunk]

6 – A gay teenager was voted onto the ballot for Prom Queen at his high school, but it turns out the school administration felt this was not legal in some fashion. Please stand back while I now put on my “shocked” face. [via Perez Hilton via WISN]

7 – This somehow feels absolutely perfect for a Monday morning strip (even though I didn’t post it until Tuesday morning, consider it Daylight Savings Day). [via Garfield Minus Garfield]

8 – Can San Diego really take more Ron Burgundy? Well those hep cats better figure it out soon, because he’s on his way. The whispers are flying around that Anchorman 2 will be made after Adam McKay finishes his current project. I’m not sure this is a comedy that can stand a sequel, but then again, it’s Will Ferrell, who would pretty much do the sequel to a Life cereal commercial. [via ComingSoon]

9 – Iron Man has blasted the doors open for Marvel and their upcoming slate of films, featuring Iron Man 2, Thor, The First Avenger: Captain America and lastly, The Avengers. With Jon Favreau back in the chair for Iron Man 2 and possibly on board for The Avengers, I’m feeling an odd sensation that I haven’t attributed to comic book films in a long, long time…confidence of quality. [via Film School Rejects]

10 – The desperate souls behind Terminator 4 have announced they are shooting for a PG-13 rating. I know some people out there are going to be mad, but let’s face facts, they are praying for some serious box office revenue here and PG-13 movies will always beat the crap out of R ratings due to the availability of the whole family coming instead of just the older children. Plus, it’s McG, so we couldn’t have hoped for anything cool in the R rating anyway. I’m half expecting the whole movie to be a video game. [via FilmDrunk]

Donating time to Doggy Thunderdome: A day in the life of…(4/24)

1 – Author and Entrepreneur Tim Ferris created a book/sensation called The 4-Hour Workweek, where he details out ways to become part of the “New Rich” by correctly maximizing your time. Well, as productive and beneficial as that sounds, the true test comes from what you do with all this new time and money. Tim has made a nice step in the right direction by starting up fund raising efforts to build schools in places like Nepal (click here to donate to this worthy cause). Hopefully this new trend where we blend the definitions of “the fortunate” with “the generous” will continue for years and generations to come. [via Tim Ferris]

2 – David Blaine has lost some of that mysterious luster he had back in the day, but he is going to attempt to regain some of that when he tries to break the world record for longest time holding one’s breath. His attempt at the record will be during his upcoming appearance on Oprah. What he doesn’t know is audience members on Oprah have already broken that record numerous times in order to win Burberry Coats and free Prada handbags. [via Perez Hilton]

3 – It’s ok, Jon. We’ve all had those mornings. I recommend a quick dose of Orange Chocolate Chip Sherbet and a Battlestar Galactica marathon. [via Garfield Minus Garfield]

4 – I’ve yet to see the new documentary from Ben Stein titled, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, but now I am even more interested in donating my ticket money to it because it has become the latest victim in the suing spree from Yoko Ono. She is suing based on the fact John Lennon’s Imagine is used in the movie without her permission. Something about the history of John Lennon tells me that he wouldn’t mind his music being used to help open discourse on the subject of faith and censorship. Something also tells me he would dead set against Yoko’s addiction to lawsuit and money grabbing control stunts. Maybe it’s just me. [via FilmDrunk]

5 – In space, no one can hear you get pulled over. [via Film School Rejects]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsSIpDK16c4]

6 – It took me a good ten minutes to come down from a rage after reading this claim by Hillary Clinton that she now leads in the popular vote. My tolerance for her double speak, political spin doctoring and blatant lying (how many snipers were shooting at you during that visit, Mrs. Ex-First Lady?) has reached an all time low. Her popular vote claim is only based on the addition of the votes in Florida and Michigan. She seems to think we will all ignore the fact that Obama didn’t campaign in Florida since he knew their delegates were not going to be allowed at the convention and the even better fact that Obama was not even on the ticket in Michigan. Counting those votes in her favor is as bad, if not worse, than the claims of voter tampering and racial blocking that took place in 2000 by the Bush campaign. Once again she is proving that she is bringing no change, no betterment of the political process and proving only one thing, women can lie and scheme just as good as men. Well played. [via CNN]

7 – When I have a cold and have to stay inside, I never make anything this creative. I kinda wanna get sick now just to do this. [via pouringdown]

8 – An inflatable IPod chair. Just what the doctor ordered for my cubicle. Do you think my desk-neighbors will mind when my mix of Disturbed and Color Me Badd plays all day? Nawww… [via swissmiss]

9 – As cool as this special edition of the board game Clue is, it is one step closer to that day when they release one with real weapons inside. Then, only then, will the dinner party start to get really exciting. [via uncrate]

10 – The moment I saw this I only thought one thing: “Two dogs enter, One dog leaves!”. Welcome to Doggy Thunderdome. [via uncrate]

Fame whore to Facebook whore: A day in the life of…(4/22)

1 – It does seem you can push the envelope too far, at least when you’re attending an Ivy League school. The Yale student made infamous by her claim to have done her senior art project by artificially inseminating herself, then taking all-natural supplements to force homegrown abortions, has now been told by the authorities of the University that her project will not be shown under any circumstances unless she comes forward to admit that it is a hoax. If this girl wanted to spur discussion, she’s done it, but I think she missed the mark since most of the talking is about how unethical and retarded she is. Whoops.[via Perez]

2 – Time for the comedy crush to set in. Amy Poehler talks to Letterman about peeping window washers and their disdain for “her work”. [via Defamer]

3 – Honestly, this is exactly what happens when I try to grow a beard. I was just not meant to be an English professor, Mountain dweller or Harley bike rider. [via Garfield Minus Garfield]

4 – Some people talk about becoming a parent in poetic terms like, “It felt like a baby just fell into my arms.” Well, this postal carrier happens to be a tad bit more literal minded, since a baby really did fall into her arms out a second story window. [via CNN]

5 – Are you sitting there wondering, “Man, I want to play Rock Band, but I can’t choose which instrument to play. What oh what can I do?” Worry no more, this t-shirt named Rocktopus shows you the way to the promised land of solo Rock Band bliss. [via iloveyourshirt]

6 – As humorous as this is, this video showing the current Democratic race as a running montage of scenes from the Rocky films actually still ends up being inspirational. I think Obama should pick it up and use it today in the PA primary. Time for Hillary to go down for the count. [via GorillaMask via MilkandCookies]

7 – Ever wanted to make a fake commercial and get it played on the big screen? Well, Zack Snyder is giving you the chance to do that. The winners of this contest will get their commercials played on the TV screens in the background of his new movie, The Watchmen. [via ComingSoon]

8 – I always wondered what vampire hunters would hunt if there were no vampires around. Now I know (and that’s just half the battle…). [via CollegeHumor]

9 – When the Presidential candidates start pandering to the professional wrestling voting block, not only have you jumped the shark, but you’ve yanked it out of the water, punched it in the nose and forced it to watch reruns of Family Matters for three days in a row. None of those are nice things to do. [via Starpulse]

10 – This is not a link or a tidbit of pop culture phenomenon, this is a warning. Facebook is a drug. There, i’ve said it. One step down, eleven more to go…

Conspiracy movie to Conspiracy reality: A day in the life of…(4/17)

1 – The upcoming X-Files sequel has now received its new moniker: X-Files: I Want to Believe. Not bad actually, much better than the one I thought of: X-Files: Boogedy Booegdy. [via Film School Rejects]

2 – One of the best things about comic books being made into movies is the release of movie generated action figures. Here is some pics of the new figures from The Watchmen. Not really sure how I feel about the Nightowl one, but Rorschach is going on my shelf right next to my sweet collection of Jeff Goldblum figurines. [via Film School Rejects]

3 – I’m a big fan of David Bowie, but almost never as much as when he was rocking the space-age persona of Ziggy Stardust. Now Bowie is set to release one of the most memorable live performances from Santa Monica via 1972. Let’s get the Spiders from Mars together, it’s about to get galactic! [via Starpulse]

4 – Continuing with the theme of things I am a big fan of, Stephen King has decided to make a totally separate site only about The Dark Tower series. The culmination of fact and fiction in one story is the backbone to King’s entire career, even though it is still going, and anyone who hasn’t experienced it should begin right away. Admittedly, The Gunslinger, the first book in the series, is a little tough to get into, but push on and you shall be rewarded, sai Gunslinger, for the journey is one of the most important you shall ever take. [via Lilja's Library]

5 – I’m fairly sure this video speaks for the majority of the nation. [via Defamer via YouTube]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMbGFWz9who]

6 – What does Jon see in that second frame? Why does it scare me so much???. [via Garfield Minus Garfield]

7 – We’ve seen Snake Eyes, now here’s Scarlett from the upcoming G.I.Joe live action movie. I’m feeling a little better about this every day. [via ComingSoon via JoBlo]

8 – Turing 18 years old can be a great time for anyone, but for Emma Watson it holds an even bigger banner in her life. She now has control over the $20 million dollars she has made in the first five Harry Potter films. Yep, color me envious. [via Perez]

9 – If Hitler’s speeches were actually like this, I’m fairly sure he would have had more of the world on his side, or at least a contingent in South Central. [via GorillaMask via SpikedHumor]

10 – Errol Morris, the master documentary filmmaker behind The Fog of War and Thin Blue Line, is back with the world’s first “non-fiction horror movie”, Standard Operating Procedure (which arguably would be a fantastic title for any horror movie). His new doc details case by case and line by line the treatment of the prisoners in Abu Ghraib, so be prepared to gain a little more distaste for those in power right now. Evidently civil liberties and humanitarian rights are only things that randomly popped up in their Alpha-Bits. [via JoshSpear]

Frisky Fish to Free Moby: A day in the life of…(4/15)

1 – Here’s an animated video and song about something you already knew about Ariel from The Little Mermaid, but didn’t want to say in chaste company. [via CollegeHumor]

2 – I grew up a fan of professional wrestling, so I’ve seen some amazing stuff over the years, but once again the level of insanity over in Japan is paralleled by no one. I’m fairly convinced that if they wanted to flip forever in mid-air, never touching the ground, they totally could . [via With Leather]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuEKOAsafug]

3 – First Disney came out and told everyone that they were going to be throwing a heavy hand into the 3-D ring, but now Dreamworks has not only added their name to the list, but they acquired the rights to the cult anime phenom Ghost in the Shell to adapt and apply the 3-D technique to. This actually tickles me inside just thinking about the visuals of diving inside someone’s cyberspace soul. Could be fantastic, could be trippy, most likely will trigger epilepsy outbreak. [via ComingSoon]

4 – Just when you thought someone couldn’t find yet another way to play the theme song to Super Mario Brothers, here comes the tonally filled wine bottles and carefully driven RC car. Now I am actually frightened of what will come next, possibly involving spoons and a fossilized monkey. [via Dave]

5 – The celebs are just lovin’ this new trend of parody PSA videos. The newest addition is Kristen Bell begging for your money and your concern in the case of Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who played the unforgettable McLovin in Superbad. The fund is a future account to pay for his inevitable addictions that will cover his depression from being a massive one-hit wonder. (Truthfully, he already has about three more movies in the pipe, so his train is still rolling). [via FilmDrunk]

6 – The new poster for The Incredible Hulk has arrived. Thoughts? Fears? Confusion over exactly how big he is really supposed to be? [via FilmDrunk]

7 – No matter how much I tried when I was a kid, I could never make this happen when I spun cans of paint around as fast as possible. I feel totally ripped off. [via Explosm]

8 – Now we see the downside of optimism. [via Garfield Minus Garfield]

9 – Proposing to your girlfriend by programming a wedding ring into the game Bejewled is pretty much the coolest thing I have ever heard. It really beats out the Wedding Fatality I designed for Mortal Kombat, where the victor just grabs the opponent’s ring finger and runs away with it. [via CNN]

10 – No matter what you think of his music, Moby is pretty much one of the most karmic and positive people on the planet, so it should be no surprise that he would create brand new music and put it up on a free downloading site for non-profit, independent filmmakers to use for their soundtracks. My bet in the “What will Moby come back as in the next life?” pool just got better. I totally chose: “A big, fluffy cloud.” [via swissmiss]

Bag of Bones to Blue Steel: A Day in the life of… (4/10)

1 – Good news for those Stephen King fans out there, Bag of Bones is on it’s way to the inherently creepy screen. It’s been a little while since I read this one, but I remember feeling like it was a good, classically told ghost story. A neat little side note to this is the script is being written by an teacher of mine from film school, Matt Venne. He is a cool dude and seriously loves his bowls of chili spaghetti at Bob’s Big Boy, so clearly he is well equipped for this. [via Lilja's Library]

2 – Some high school students made a hit list of people they wanted to kill, included on that list was Chuck Norris. The kids have since been arrested and Chuck’s response was a calmly worded message about these being the warning signs we need to all pay attention to in an effort to stop tragic events before they happen. My message to those kids is a little less subtle, “Seriously?! Chuck Norris?! Have you not read the lists? He has a fist behind his beard just begging to be unleashed. He is unkillable!” [via Starpulse]

3 – Following on that theme, it turns out that some parents are actually paying attention to their kids and trying to look for those exact signs. This mother actually had her own son committed for a year and a half and an alarm attached to his door in the house. These might sound like extreme examples, but I give her complete commendations for doing what she can to avert future violence and actually acting like a responsible parent. [via CNN]

4 – Uwe Boll just can’t seem to keep himself out of the firing range. Now his responses to those people who criticize him is getting even more insane. Just a taste for you, “track you down and rip you apart”. Yep, this is just the type of personality I want running my multi-million dollar film set. [via Defamer]

5 – Drunk texting is a horrible, horrible habit and I can admit to myself and others that I am not immune to it’s siren’s call, but this example of over-the-edge texting is just too brilliant to keep from the masses. The final text is going to sit in my brain for years. [via CollegeHumor]

6 – There have been some rumors floating around that test audiences have been uncomfortable in the early screenings of The Dark Knight due to a scene of Heath Ledger’s Joker being inside a body bag. Yes, I understand this cuts a little close to the bone for people who were fans of his, but we can’t go sanitizing any future footage of him just because of the terrible accident that befell him. He put his heart and soul into playing that part, maybe even a bit more than he should have, but the least we can do is respect and admire his nearly final work. Thankfully, the latest word is the scenes in question will stay in the picture and not be changed. For once, the studios are manning up. [via FilmDrunk]

7 – Now you can keep up with the day-to-day happenings on the upcoming Oscar contending film, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, with their online production blog. Nothing too amazing on it yet, but if they begin to promise set pics and lots of Kristen Kreuk visuals, I’m getting my popcorn out and waiting by the computer for the heartwarming *ding* of new updates. [via ComingSoon]

8 – Sometimes, the dumbest answer to a question is actually the right one. [via GorillaMask via Liquid Generation]

9 – Improv Everywhere decided to not only pull a new prank, but also give some kids the time of their lives. They staged a major league baseball style audience and NBC showcase, including the Good Year Blimp, around a random little league game. If this happened to me when I played little league, I’d be making $54 million dollars now on a 3 year contract. [via Pandachute]

10 – Is it just me or is Jon giving us the “Blue Steel” look? [via Garfield Minus Garfield]

Tron to Takeovers: A Day in the life of…(4/10)

1 – The main point of this article is that Chili from R&B/Hip-Hop wondergroup TLC turned down a very lucrative and influential movie role so that she could stay at home with her newborn son. As sweet as that is, I think the real key to the article is the fact she named her son Tron. Holy crap! I was gonna do that. I’m so depressed now. What am I going to do with all those neon-piped baby clothes I had special ordered? Maybe I could get away with naming it MCP… [via Starpulse]

2 – When something starts mentioning packing tape babies, how can you not check it out? [via JoshSpear]

3 – I actually have one of these in my room. The ribbon isn’t even real fabric, it’s clear tape colored over with a sharpie… [via Garfield Minus Garfield]

4 – Doctors are hoping to get hold of Keith Richards body after he dies to find out how he has lived so long with his lifestyle as it is. You might think doctors are real smart or something, but they are missing two key elements here: First, Keith Richards has been legally dead for seventeen years. His body and brain only function now purely off the adrenalin built up over years of cocaine and high powered blotter acid. Two, the moment his body finally stops working, it will surely crumble to dust like Dracula or that dude from the Mummy movies. Have fun testing 98-year-old sand piles, Doc. [via Starpulse]

5 – Somehow I thought since the culture of Egypt brought us some of the Great Wonders of the World and how they seemed to be so extremely civilized before most of the world caught onto what that really meant, this would all translate into a society that didn’t arrest people and sentence them to 3-5 years in jail for being gay. I guess the gay rights people should think of changing their logo from the triangle to something looking less like a pyramid before Egypt has them all shot for copyright infringement. [via Yahoo]

7 – For those of you out there who like to laugh and help out a wonderful cause, which should cover all you out there, except Lex Luthor, he’s kind of a grinch, everyone else should tune in this Sunday night to Comedy Central’s A Night of Too Many Stars comedy benefit to help fight Autism. It’s being hosted by Jon Stewart and you can only imagine where he will go when the chains of the Oscar hosting are loosened. TiVo is set to stun (and chortle). [via Starpulse]

9 – There is nothing more amusing and partially adorable than public signage just missing the mark on getting the correct meaning across. My personal favorite from this list: “Touching Wires Causes Instant Death. $200 Fine” [via GorillaMask via Asylum]

10 – First Microsoft tried to buy Yahoo and the flailing internet searcher got mad. Now NewsCorp, which owns MySpace as well as a ton of other properties, is joining in with Microsoft to nail down the seemingly hostile takeover of Yahoo.

What the hell! [via Variety]
