Amazing identical quadruplets prank
Posted: April 3, 2012 Filed under: Entertainment, fashion, pop culture, Random Stuff Leave a comment »
This made me laugh. Improv Everywhere set up a very surreal scene in a park with eight sets of identical quadruplets all found around the New York City area. I know, right? Who knew there were so many available sets of identical quadruplets?
Apparently, identical quadruplets account for about 1 in 15 million births, though I assume the rate for non identical quads has risen massively since the advent of fertility treatments. One famous set of identical quadruplets is the Genain quadruplets, who all developed schizophrenia (Oh YEAH, that’s from Wikipedia!).

The Peek Freans song! They’re serious. VERY SERIOUS.
Posted: March 13, 2012 Filed under: Entertainment, music, pop culture, Random Stuff Leave a comment »Remember this? Hahahahaha! Good times. I’ve had this in my head all day, thanks to my husband who once heard me sing it and started singing it but doesn’t know it because he’s not from Canada and doesn’t know what a Peek Frean is or how serious they are, as a cookie, I mean.

Exotic dancers of the 1890s

Check out these awesome pics of the exotic dancers of yore. The images are from the Charles H. McCaghy collection of exotic dance from burlesque to clubs at Ohio State University.
I love this totally grouchy looking lady above. And the horse costume! That’s the best thing ever.
Right?
Here are a few more:
And just for comparison purposes. Times have changed, huh? See the rest of the collection over at Ohio State.

Where’s Waldo, the movie
Posted: March 2, 2012 Filed under: Entertainment, pop culture, Random Stuff 1 Comment »This summer, Waldo finds YOU.
Ha. Almost as good as this one from a couple of years ago: Werner Herzog reads Where’s Waldo.
“Oh, zere he is. Hello, my little friend.”

Genius says Madonna ripped him off
Posted: February 17, 2012 Filed under: Entertainment, music, pop culture, Random Stuff Leave a comment »This guy thinks Madonna ripped him off for her track “Give Me All Your Luvin.’” Could be. I dunno. Maybe. But he can be comforted with the knowledge that his song is by far the superior work out of the two. This is “L.O.V.E. Banana” by Joao Brasil, feat Lovefoxx. It’s awesome.

Crazy dude dives from 36 feet into 12 inches of water
Posted: February 16, 2012 Filed under: Entertainment, pop culture, Random Stuff Leave a comment »
So, I always thought the Bugs Bunny cartoon about the high dive into a bucket was about a thing that folks don’t actually do. You know, it’s funny because it’s impossible. Apparently, it’s not, though.
This guy Darren Taylor does it all the time. Darren – who was voted “most likely to break his neck” in high school – broke the Guinness record for the 13th time by diving into 30 cm (11.8 in) of water from a height of 11.05 m (36 ft 3 in) on the set of Lo Show Dei Record, in Milan, Italy, on 10 March 2011.
This shiz is nuts. See more videos of dudes diving off high things into teeny pools of water here.

Interactive graphic of “The Scale of the Universe,” by a 14 year old boy
Posted: February 13, 2012 Filed under: Entertainment, pop culture, Random Stuff, Uncategorized Leave a comment »
When I was 14 years old I was skipping class, hanging out in the quad smoking cigarettes and mooning over punk rock boys.
These 14-year-old twins created an interactive animation called “The Scale of the Universe 2″ which shows uh, the scale of the universe, from the teeniest matter like quantum foam to the largest – the observable universe. What the hell is wrong with kids these days?
ABC News says “Scale of the Universe 2″ was created by Cary Huang, a 14-year-old ninth grader from Moraga, California, with the help of his twin Brother Michael.
“It was not a school project — just for fun,” says Cary. “However, my science teacher loved it so much she showed [it] to the class! My brother, Michael, helped me put it on the internet.”
This isn’t the interactive version. Click here for that. On that one, you can click on each object to get more information about it and control the zoom.
And yes, as the name suggests, there was a “The Scale of the Universe 1.” Cary says the first had less information in it, and the graphics needed work.
Eyeroll. It’s freakin’ brilliant.
I’ve wasted my life.

Police composite sketches of literary characters
Posted: February 10, 2012 Filed under: Entertainment, pop culture, Random Stuff Leave a comment »
Found this through my amazing friend Lisa Mesbur and The Daily What. It’s a Tumblr of composite sketches of literary characters created using law enforcement composite sketch software and descriptions of the characters. And it’s all kinds of awesome.
To go with the image above:
“Humbert Humbert, Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov [but you could already tell that right? Like, duh. So obvs.]
Gloomy good looks…Clean-cut jaw, muscular hand, deep sonorous voice…broad shoulder…I was, and still am, despite mes malheurs, an exceptionally handsome male; slow-moving, tall, with soft dark hair and a gloomy but all the more seductive cast of demeanor. Exceptional virility often reflects in the subject’s displayable features a sullen and congested something that pertains to what he has to conceal. And this was my case…But instead I am lanky, big-boned, wooly-chested Humbert Humbert, with thick black eyebrows…A cesspoolful of rotting monsters behind his slow boyish smile…aging ape eyes…Humbert’s face might twitch with neuralgia.”
