Not-Quite-Weekend Randomness

Randomosity on Your Friday.

1) As If You Didn't Have Enough Ways to Waste Time on the Internet - These are highly addictive and amusing (thanks to jascott for getting me hooked)

2) If the above makes no sense to you (and shame on you for not being up on your random and pointless internet knowledge!) go here for frame of reference.

3) Work Stressing ( Read more... )

youtube, avoiding actual work, did you know?, vocabulary, word of the day, educational, random, fun, what would we do without the internet?, vids

6) That word doesn't seem too difficult to pronounce, just difficult to memorise. Pneumonia with an o, ultramicroscopic, silicon without the n, volcano, and coniosis. Unless there is a trick in the pronounciation.

Well, not so much pronunciation, as recall, I guess.

Llama, llama, llama, DUCK!

hee!

I think that one may be my favorite of them all. I mean, "Badger-Badger-Badger" is a classic, and "Lions and Tigers (in Kenya)" is adorable, but there is something about the inanity of that one ... and of course, it's darn catchy, too!

Plus, the monkey-voice is so calm and announcer-like!

Oh I LOVE THAT GAME!

I have played FAR too many times.

Your hostage negotiating services were needed in my lj recently but I'm going to let it slide because you have bestowed upon us a video of muppets. I bow down to your greatness. Teach me how to do that!

Pogonotrophy - The art of growing a beard. - I had to include this one because, well, the obvious potential for misinterpretations is so clear.
I misread that as Pornography - The art of growing a beard. So...mission accomplished?

A newborn baby expells the equivalent of its own weight in poo every 60 hours.
That astounds me. They barely even ingest anything! They should be peeing their body weight! I really want to know the second part.

Did you use my bat-signal (which is actually a pair of crossed sporks) to let me KNOW about this? No? Well, then I could hardly be expected to be there, now could I?

you have bestowed upon us a video of muppets. I bow down to your greatness. Teach me how to do that!
That's more like it!

It is very simple. First, you find a video of muppets on YouTube.

Next, you type: [lj-template name="video"]url for video goes here[/lj-template] only with < instead of [ and > instead of ]

Ta-Da!

Someone needs to create an icon with the sporks that can be busted out in case of emergency. Because throwing down an icon with the reasoning that it is your bat signal to your hostage negotiator only to actually have someone show up and validate your claims is the kind of thing that is listed under reasons why I love the internet.

You had to go and put the idea in my head, didn't you? r_a_l_i_g_h July 31 2006, 00:45:17 UTC

Something like this, perhaps?

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis the hell does it mean? And can you pronounce it?

A newborn baby expells the equivalent of its own weight in poo every 60 hours. Hahahaha. Thanks so much for sharing. God. Imagine if adults did that? Wow. I'd get a lot of reading done. :p
