How much faster are pro athletes than the rest of us? A LOT faster. Check out this 2-minute video for some amazement and lots of laughs. And the normal dude didn't look all that slow at first . . .
Wanna check out the private parts of other people. I'm referring to their refrigerators. If so, check out this clever post where you can learn a bit about a persons personality and look straight into their refrigerator. I found this on StumbleUpon. The clever title: You are what you eat. Kudos to the one person who loads up on vegetables. Speaking of StumbleUpon, if you want to know what time it is, click here. And here's one more. Remember the kids' game of "telephone"? Here's a Google translator version.
I caught this at Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish. Pretty amazing. A robot folding towels.
I hate to sound like a Tea-Party nutbag, but I really love the United States' Constitution. As I've mentioned before, I'm a free-speech fanatic. I love the Constitution's sharp focus on individual liberties, its emphasis on the rights of the accused, and that grade-school-civics favorite, the checks and balances of power. I despair when these ideals meet real-life sacrifices, especially glaring ones like, oh, the utter lack of Congressional declarations of war since WWII. I also don't like to sully the document's purity with excessive amendments, interpretations and adaptations. No Defense of Marriage Amendment, please, but while you're at it, no marriage at all (it violates the establishment clause, you see). But don't call me a Scalia-esque strict constructionist. If I could, I would copy-edit the otherwise brilliant Constitution and correct a centuries-old omission with no qualms: I would give the United States a monarch. It probably seems unamerican, undemocratic and all-around anti-freedom-y to propose that we foist an unquestioned figure to the crown of government. It probably sounds old-fashioned, all uppity and needlessly symbolic and European. I know it does. It's exactly my point.
This Rube Goldberg Machine Youtube video has certainly made the rounds--almost 11 million views--and deservedly so! This is extremely well-concocted and imaginative. Turn up the music and watch it at full-screen mode.
