I hope this is a new fad and soon all Japanese people will stand around dressed as Totoro! Just imagine, hundreds of thousands of people milling round Tokyo all dressed in giant fluff ball costumes. Stranger things have happened…

Don’t get sucked in! This amazing picture is of Thor’s Well in Oregon.

Admired for their strength and size, coconut crabs are just incredible. Without further ado here is a list of epic feats! 1.They are the monkeys of the crustaceans! Coconut crabs both scavenge fallen coconuts and fruit from the ground, but during the growing season, when fallen fruit is hard to come by, they scales trees to find the fruit. This of course means they can easily climb buildings [...]

The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ ($16.32) The other day I finally finished my bus time reading, which was rather heavy for my morning and afternoon chill sessions with my best buddies on the bus. Without giving anything away, the premise of the book is that Jesus had a twin brother Christ. The story is typical of Philip [...]

Koman Coulibaly: Just to recap, Koman Coulibaly is the referee that officiated the US vs Slovenia game that ended 2 – 2 after an amazing comeback by the US from a 2 – 0 deficit. In the 83 minute Landon Donavon put a beautiful ball into the box from a penalty kick, which found its way way into the goal of Edu’s foot. A tremendous goal, [...]

In my mind there are really only three Evil Strategy games, where you take control of the villain to wreck havoc on the world. Evil Genius ($14.99): Evil Genius is one of my favorite games of all time. If you have not played it, I would highly recommend it! The player takes the role of one of three brilliant masterminds each with plans to [...]

As anyone who watched the US v Slovenia World Cup game watched Koman Coulibaly make numerous questionable calls. Was he payed off? I’m not going to say he was, but he made some truly awful calls. Particularly when he disallowed Edu’s late game winning goal for no particular reason. Now for the reasons I dislike him: At 0:40 the ball was already kicked and he was [...]

American Idol: Okay you caught me, American Idol is a guilty pleasure of mine, although less so because it’s not on Hulu (wtf Fox). Anyhow, for those of you familiar with American Idol (I know you all are, don’t lie to me) it starts with hordes of terrible singers converging on local convention centers to compete for momentary fame and possibly glory. The singers [...]

Tantrum Alarm Clock: Have you ever thought: I just really want to wake up to a screaming three year-old every-morning? Well if you do, this could be the perfect alarm clock for you! It screams bloody murder until you smack it on the head. You can’t do that to a toddler. Grenade Alarm Clock: For the soldier in you, it only turns off when [...]

I’m posting these two video’s from google becuase I just stumbled onto a Good magazine post about Market Street in 1905 and the video didn’t work. So, I went on to youtube and it turns out it is a really cool video. Also, I found a video of market street in 1941 and 2005, so here it goes. Market Street [...]
