WTF Wednesday - Round 94
I had a pretty major lab practical this past week on the muscles of the body... you know the sort in any number of varying topics. It's the kind where you, given enough time, you look at something and you strike gold on what something's suppose to mean ("XIPHIHUMERALIS!! I UNDERSTANDS!!") and the heavens part and all that jazz, or you realize spontaneously that you were reading something all wrong originally. The classic one for me was reading "infraglenoid" wrong... it should be read, "infra-glenoid" (rough translation: 'below,' and 'glenoid [cavity]') and not "in-fragle-noid" (rough translation: 'in Fraggle Rock' and 'looks like' ...so apparently I couldn't be sure if it were in Fraggle Rock or not), as I had been reading it. It was the kind of practical that causes one to wake up spontaneously in the middle of the night screaming, "GASTROCNEMIUS," or "CLAVOANTEBRACIALIS!!" in panicked tones... my neighbors quickly learned it wasn't some crazy voodoo ritual, and stopped being alarmed.
In short, the linkies aren't getting up until today. I'm also a bit preoccupied by the fact that week 100 is quickly upon us (in fact, I believe week 100 falls somewhere about the time of the new year, how exciting!) and I have no idea what I'm doing yet. I have a few idea but... you know what? Let's focus on the topic at hand and just get into today:
Let's start off all manly, since... I dunno. It just seems like a good idea. 7 people who cheated death (then kicked it in the balls). My god, that title is awesome.
I found this glorious parody on YouTube last week. Obama does Thriller has, by far, one of the MOST impressive Obama impersonations I have had the pleasure of seeing (this grand total is at about four, so there's not a huge poll to draw from however). AND Michelle, jeebus. Anyway, this is a great poke at the media and Michael Jackson and Obama... really is worth a watch, especially if you have any love for Thriller at all, in particular.
I found the "Joe. My God." blog this last week, rather spontaneously. I stumbled over some of the "favorite articles" along the side, and "tripping over the tubs" is hilarrrious. To quickly summarize: this is one gay man's journey, into the Land of Bathhouses, back in the late 90s. Everything from the Eastern European guy (nicknamed Stan, because he looked like he came from a country that ended with, "-stan") to the acid use produced a story that caused me to literally bust out laughing.
A little late on my part, but I didn't want to save this for Halloween next year... a real comic book character for Halloween is a fantastic interpretation of how a comic would look 3-dimensionally. I'm super impressed and want to do it myself.
EVER WONDER WHERE ALL THE MICKEY-D'S IN THE U.S. WERE? Of course you did. There's only 13,000 of them. >_>
Similar to the first, but honestly when I threw this bad body into my sub-linkies folder for today, I forgot that I had the first one in there originally. Anyway, here are 7 fatal injuries (that people somehow survived). Nicely, not only are the two lists totally different selections of people, the stories listed here could quite possibly be even more outrageous than the first.
Bra recycling. In Japan. Who's surprised? Because it sure as hell ain't me. However, the WAY they're being recycled is brilliant.
IS THIS THE BEST BIKE EVER? Why yes, quite possibly.
Why do I feel like I might have posted this one before? I sure hope not. Home made slide is a grand collision of adult ingenuity and childhood imagination. And some terror. Can't forget that.
DON'T EVEN ASK ME WHERE I FIND THESE THINGS. So apparently I was trolling the Eastchester Middle School website (._. I DON'T KNOW), when I stumbled upon Hercules - the early years. Apparently it lists the 12 labors of Hercules... but as described (and drawn) by seventh graders. I sorta love it and it's sorta loltastic, even if there's nothing per-say wrong about it. There's some great lines there, and you can select the labors by "chapter," so you don't have to read it all at once if you don't want to. "Hercules then went up to Cerebus and grabbed him and squeezed his tail until his three tongues squeezed out which meant he was obviously dead. Hades did not see this."
OH HAY WUT. The large hadron collider fried not too long ago? Because a bird dropped a piece of bread into it? BIRD TERRORISM HOOOO!
THE WONDER TWINS. ON SMALLVILLE. TONIGHT. OMFG. I hope Zan only turns into water things and Jaina only into animals. I haven't watched Smallville in forever, but I totally will for this and I will lol off into the sunset.
8 of the manliest images on the internet. 'Nuff said.
Well, pot's illegal here... but also so is the TASTE of pot. Or rather, it is in Georgia, where pot lollipops ("taste like the real thing!") have been banned from being sold in retail stores. Or, at the very least, it's banned to minors. Well then.
Oh this one's a winner. Fish that triggers hallucinations found off British coast. Isn't global warming swell? "The effects include vivid hallucinations within minutes of eating it which can last for days."
Yet another instance of epic Google fail.
This could be the first instance a social network saved a dumbass. Facebook status update clear teen of criminal charges. "This is Rodney Bradford. A few days ago, Facebook saved his 19-yo life. Facebook, and his status plea demanding the immediate consumption of one of the basic food groups every human being needs to properly function in the morning: Pancakes."
And to end: Dancing Baby. If you know "Single Ladies" by Beyonce, watch this video. If you're not familiar with Single Ladies, watch this. OH MY GOD. ♥
