This Week on the Interweb
Here's my week's top pick of interesting stuff worth checking out on the Internets. It's all work-safe, but you might want headphones for some of it.
Funny Stuff
Turns out British radio personalities are just as juvenile and desperate as American dj's for homemade entertainment value. The difference - like most of British culture vs. American - is they actually stand a chance at being clever. Here's one of the best crank calls I've heard in a while.
I can't even think of something witty to add to this. The wit is in the picture. Just check out the link.
Thank God for Leadership
This video comparison is rather frightenizing. Evidently, our President didn't always talk like an extra from The Ringer (which, btw, wasn't nearly as wrong/funny as it promised.)
Having problems tracking down those evil Iraqi terrorists? The Dept. of Terrorism-Eradicationism and Democratization-Spreading might want to reconsider who it looks to for leadership. The Iraq chapter leader (troop 397) of al-Qaeda might not be leading much. He's in jail. Oh yeah, and he's not in Iraq either.
That's one small speck for man...
Feeling insignificant lately? Pshaw! See a visual representation of you vs. the rest of the world in this pretty graphic. Make sure you use the horizontal scrollbar to get the full picture.

An article about gas prices actually worth reading, if for any other reason to understand why gas prices shoot up overnight, and then take eons to come back down. Well written and a quick read.
