George Carlin has passed away at 71



FUCK....
I saw him live last year. Great was an understatement. I guess it's fair to say he died at a ripe age and that he leaves an encyclopedia of work that will never be forgotten but that's not true. Humanity needed people like Carlin and I don't think any entertainer's passing has ever made me this sad.
"I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me - they're cramming for their final exam. " -George Carlin



You'll be missed man.

Einstein in Color

Made public only a few years ago for some reason. Unique and fascinating.

No, this is not a joke. Yes, this is the highlight of my day.

Denon $500 1.5 Meter Ethernet cable!

This is just ridiculous....
Some how the electronics manufacturer Denon thinks it can sell a $2 product at a mark up of 25000%. And you know what... they can. Some rich idiots have spent money on these things.



But I have to say... the description is a lot better. "Denon's 1.5 meter (59 in.) ultra premium Denon Link cable was designed for the audio enthusiast. Made from high purity copper wire and high performance connection parts, the AK-DL1 will bring out all the nuances in digital audio reproduction from any of our Denon DVD players with the Denon Link feature. Attention to detail when building this cable was used by employing high quality insulation, tin-bearing alloy shielding and woven jacketing to reduce vibration and to add durability. Additionally, signal directional markings are provided for optimum signal transfer. Rounded plug levers help prevent breakage."
Classic...
If you are still shaking your head you should read the fantastic Amazon reviews.

Here are some highlights:

"Holding this cable in my hands actually makes me feel that much closer to the Lord Jesus.."

"If time travel is your thing, there is just no way to get the flux capacitor to fire correctly without this cable. Well worth the money."


"This cable in unbelivable, I connected this puppy upto my PC and router, and it's made the world of difference, last night I managed to download the entire Internet to my PC in 10 nanoseconds, when I view pages, there are no load times at all, and all the p0rn looks so much better.

This is the best $499.99 I have ever spent, the fact it's now reduced by $1 is even better. Get one now, and download the internet instantly yourself."

O.K. that's enough for today. I guess there really is a sucker born every minute.

CBS News Correspondent:

I have to agree.



If you want to watch the full interview click Here and skip to 13:20 before its potentially taken down. I highly recommend it.

Very Close Tornado

That was close

I feel uncomfortable.

See above...

It could be useful......

One day..... our lives will make use of this skill.

So bad its good

Nothing currently is funnier to me then awful movies that are unintentionally entertaining. This ranges from action flicks to things like Walker Texas Ranger. I don't think I'm alone here so I will begin with one of the greatest fight scenes of all time.




Have you seen anything more entertaining? If you didn't finish it, the true gold is at the end. I've never seen a double eye gouge or a chick in a sling back flip before. But the true cherry on top has got to be the ridiculous one-liners at the end there, "I'll keep an eye out for you stingray" followed by the 80's "Yeah, See Ya!"........ so much humor in such a short space of time....

Inside a Beatles Record 1: Strawberry Fields Forever

I think you'll find that even today, the Beatles will surprise you.

The BPA ft David Byrne and Dizzee Rascal: Toe Jam

Pretty clever. NSFW?


BMW GINA Light Visionary Model

A concept car lets automotive designers go wild. This concept, which actually works and drives is one of the more bizarre ones. A shape-shifting, cloth covered car. The car will never see production, it's headed for the BMW museum in Munich.

Euro 2008: The BBC Intro

Usually when a gigantic football event takes place, the BBC are always at hand to come up with a phenomenal intro title sequence. Now that England have failed to qualify, it seems as if things are different.
Here is the BBC's intro to this years European championships.



I have to be honest and say I just don't like it. Can't the beeb come up with something a little less parochial? The music is a cliche and there is no sort of build up. This comical approach lacks the passion of past intros and just makes it seem like a further excuse to ignore the Euro now that the homelands didn't make the cut. If this all seems a little harsh then I'll remind you of just the adverts of the last euro, 4 years ago....
