WTF Wednesday - Round 84
I'm using my time on campus productively. By updating this. Let's begin:
It's no secret that Marvel was bought by Disney recently (a friend of mine possibly put it best: "As Marvel's stocks shoot up, Marvel dignity just threw itself off a building." And while that by itself is prime sorts of news I would post on the linkies, I'd rather take a gander at what this means for the future of Marvel.
As I ponder what I'm going to have for lunch (which can now be postponed by the absolutely precious Science Hall secretary and her complimentary brownies and cookies), here's a list of 6 unhealthy-healthy foods for your consuming pleasure.
And for something definitely not healthy, here's an old Coca-Cola ad. Y'know. From back in the day when it actually had coke in it.
Many colleges and schools are back to session this week, so I figured I'd be sure to post at least one skool related link for your viewing happy-times. NYU Student preforms most adorable robot experiment ever. SO F'N CUTE. I woobed a little from the warm and fuzzy feelings.
This is officially the first and only time goatse will ever be work-safe. EPIC troll.
MOTHER NATURE, WHY DO YOU DO THESE THINGS? EHH? EHH? "The fear mongers over at National Geographic are at it again. They have released what they claim to be actual prehistoric photographs of nightmarish creatures. Just think of your most feared animal and combine it with either a cooking utensil or a wood shop tool. That might give you an idea of how National Geographic came up with these things." The reason why I linked to the site above, it because of the epic photoshopped squid-of-hilarity-and-handiness.
As I sit here, I have an article open about Penny Arcade Expo, and how the SWAT team got called in on someone's cosplay weapon... I'm afraid that article isn't nearly as entertaining as the 11 most retarded fictional weapons ever created. Number 11 visits the Batarang, if that perks your interest at all.
This video is every single British action movie you've ever seen combined into one. NSFW for language.
Crazy fashion, anyone? Okay, yes, there's constantly fashion shows with bizarre "clothes" being featured, but for some reason, this particular one reminds me of some of the trippier versions of Alice in Wonderland I've seen. Even if it is so last year.
FER SCIENCE. And real life jack-a-lopes... why do I get the feeling I've mentioned Jackalopes in the linkies in the past?
Ever wanted to know how to grow 100 pounds of potatoes in a four foot square? Okay, probably not, but I found the article and I thought it was kinda awesome in that "I think I'm gonna try that someday" sort of business. So here you go, if you ever want to try it out for yourself.
One other school-ish related link... thought this one is more likely to make you feel inadequate as an individual. Here are 10 extraordinary child prodigies. Dag nabbit.
Okay, I've posted similar stories in the linkies before, but this one's pretty epic, in the way that it should be tabloid fodder. Shocked Russian surgeons open up man who thought he had a tumour... only to find out it wasn't a tumor. >_> For the love of pie. "So relieved it wasn't cancer" is an f'n understatement.
So, on a scale of 1 to 10, this is badass, amirite? And completely geeky. Certainly is an eye-catcher, in any case.
Someone took a ton of the popular internet cat videos out there... and remixed them to an awesome beat. And fuck it's catchy. Yeah, I'd listen to it. And HELLO. At about 1:40, my favorite part starts up, but I love the rhythmic editing all through this. Ahahah.
OH THANK THE HEAVENS. I had a link for a post on ebay, but it got taken down due to the sheer ridiculousness of the item. Fortunately, I wasn't the only person to see it. YOU TOO CAN MARVEL OVER THE JAR OF MAGICAL UNICORN SEMEN.
There's a certain level of badassery that cannot be maintained when one is holding a fluffy adorable puppy... and this website is setting out to prove it. But who could deny a fluffy adorable puppy?
I'd like to end the linkies today with a tribute to barbecuing, since the end of the season for doing that kind of thing is rapidly approaching a close. License to grill is one man's Dave Barry-ish attempt to get around his apartment's new rule of "no barbecues for second floor residents."
