Today's Mighty Oak


Back with a couple things for everyone.  First up, I’ll have to wonder if my laptop bag (a new one I just switched to by the way) will forever smell like vanilla, since I splashed my drink onto it.  Not too much, but enough.  But then the table next to me spilled their entire drink on the floor, so I feel a little better.

Anyway….

A follow up to the cello Star Wars, I like this one better by the way:

Here is the Muppabet, which reached the end, and has since ended.  That’s a neat idea though, to have a set end for a blog.

Don’t click unless you want to feel your arteries clog up.  I’ll give you a hint, it involves a McRib, bacon and fried mozzarella sticks.

Okay, one more Muppet item, this amazing mash up with the Lord of the Rings.

Here’s a good graph for you:

 

The creator of TED is looking to recreate the conference once again.

I have a few friends who will love this for the pokeman reference.  I have others who will love it for the gardening skills.  Here is the pokerose.

When I’m out in public and can overheard a first date, I live tween using the hashtag #FirstDateEavesdropping and it’s a fun time.  Andy Boyle did the same, but with a break-up

He’s out of the race, and didn’t have a chance to begin with, but I had a special type of vitriol for Herman Cain, seeing as he’s racist against the Lebanese.

That’s it for now, catch everyone later!



Wikileaks has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.  How awesome would it be if it won?  I can only hope.

Buzzfeed has a list of Darth Vader doing strange things (at least, strange for the Dark Lord of the Sith), this may be my favorite:

And here is what Star Wars would look like if it was drawn by Dr. Seuss.

Warning, this will overdose you on cuteness:

And following that explosion of cuteness, this made me so incredibly proud.

I was never a huge fan of Groundhog Day, but maybe I wasn’t old enough when I first saw it.  But anyway, here’s a bunch of estimations about how much time actually takes place.

What would it look like if the entire population of the world moved together to a density like many cities:

I find this strangely funny, I think mostly because of the kid’s reactions:

And as a follow up to that, Newt Gingrich tries to defend his view of marriage.  And the response:

Gingrich would like to remind everybody that that marriage is between one man and one woman whom you abandon riddled with cancer on her hospital bed while you fuck the shit out of your mistress whom you later marry and cheat on with a third woman while screaming with Godly moral outrage about the infidelities of the president.

Bill Gates talks about this latest endeavor, eradicating polio around the world.  My favorite quote however, is where he states the vaccine-autism link is an ‘absolute lie.’  I’ve never really listened to him speak for that long, but he is very well spoken.  Maybe not as good as Steve Jobs, but better than what I had perceived he would be.  Anyway, here’s the clip:

And lastly today, this is scary first, because of the oppression of expression (and bloggers) and two, because it is a reality that in some areas, certain ethnic groups have limited rights.
