Here are some things people on the internet have pointed out to me:

Man Babies: Disturbing photoshoppery
Kreepy Kat: Wrong comic strip
Virtual piano: Virtually useless. But quite fun.

On my drive home there is a roundabout with traffic light controls - and at rush hour a big queue too. My turning off the roundabout has two lanes - one for straight on (which is normally full) and one which is a dedicated right at the next lights (which is a little better).

Sometimes, impatient people use the dedicated right lane to skip the queues on the roundabout and then cross into the straight on lane to speed up their journey. Most of them wait for the lights to change - they're badly timed and traffic gets held up on the roundabout leaving space to filter across, but today some thick-necked taxi driver with a people carrier decided to bully his way into the tiny gap behind me, almost scraping the paint off the back of my car and causing the guy behind me to toot his horn (and pretty rightfully so as he must have come close to taking his headlights out at the same time, if not the whole bonnet).

Mr thick-neck then decided to stop and get out of his car, clearly insulted by the tooting.

There was a lot of traffic and he was a lot bigger than me so I couldn't really stop. I couldn't really see the people in the other car very well, but I hope they were a rugby team.

Really ought to have taken down his taxi licence details, but I didn't think about it.

This is a pretty amazing thing - showing a pretty awful thing:

Haiti Earthquake 360° Video

(It doesn't actually look as flattened as I expected...)

Slow Motion Duck Sex: Euuuwwwwwwwww :(

Teenager saves the world! Hoorah! (Thanks,

Merry Christmas! Snowmen Hunters! Episode 27 is particularly fine and full of bad ideas we all need to try. :D

Three-foot nemertean worms and carnivorous sea stars prowl the Antarctic in search of flesh. Finding a dead seal, the sea stars inject it with digestive juices ... then suck it up like soup.

Man attaches GPS to cat. Long video is long, but the results are interesting! :)

So RATM are Christmas number one! Yes, yes. I know all the money goes to Sony/Simon Cowell anyway and the rich are getting richer blahblahblah BUT:

1. A whole bunch of new people are listening to some quality metal
2. Shelter have got £70k-ish from the people who bought the single, plus a share of RATM's profits
3. Point proven that the unexpected can happen when enough people get behind an idea.

And I think those things are nice. :)

( Why didn't we realise this sooner? )

"If you're male and you like Twilight, you're gay. I don't mean that in the derogatory sense, I mean it in the "you want to put your testicles against another man's testicles while gripping handfuls of chesthair" kind of way."

I haven't seen it, but I dig The Oatmeal's explanation...

And it has pictures. :)

Giant Sharks!

Penis eating worms!

So that's what they were up to...

OK, so I went on one of those 'fun' management training courses the other day about improving something or other and was all about buzzwords and 'culture mapping'. Bleh. :(

However, they did have quite a good game. I want you all to try it.

So here's a star with the numbers 1-10 on it. Print it, or draw one out.
Every time you join two numbers together with a line, you get 10 points.
You don't have to join the numbers in numerical order.
Every time the line you draw crosses the black lines of the star shapes, you lose 1 point.
You have one minute to score as many points as possible.

Post your score here. I'll share mine later and if you beat it, you win a prize. :)

whotheheckami storms into the lead with 900! Can he be beaten?

myrddrr has got the hang of it! 2150 to beat!

azekeil screams into the lead with 12000! (I've screened him for giving away the answer)!

lucien_dark overtakes with ~~15680~~ 31360! That's more like it!

Wow. Rammstein's new single is so awful that it deserves a whole post simply to berate it.

I've had second thoughts about going along to their 2010 tour if they're churning the sort of drivel that's designed to make 12 year olds snicker a bit (as opposed to the slightly better but still silly stuff they've done in the past)...

Stick to singing in German lads.

ETA: On the other hand, Steel Panther are legendary. Wish I'd seen them on tour now.

Last year I wanted to find out what happens to butterflies in winter. They don't migrate and they can't die because otherwise there wouldn't be any caterpillars in the spring. Well, now I know the answer. They all hide in my shed. Seriously. I went in there to get a broom out this afternoon and there were loads of them snoozing on the ceiling. :)

A little while ago, I picked up an album by a band called 'The Glove' for £1 in a bargain bin because I liked the song titles. I played it last week and thought it sounded oddly familiar and yet somehow... wrong. Here's why. My goth-fu must be stronger than I thought. Either that or I'm entirely rubbish for not knowing who they were in the first place.

This website animates your face - and lets you add comedy moustaches as an extra added bonus. It's just freaky.

Live in London?
Go use a Cockney Cash Machine.

Yeah. It's real.
