Big Ass Cat or MOUNTAIN LION??
I don't know what's more funny - the fact that these people thought that a tabby was a mountain lion cub or the fact that it made the Bellevue paper.

Apple Support Calls in MP3
Give these real snippets from Apple support calls a listen - especially the one where the guy says he's going to call up Bill Gates or whoever the head of Apple is and give them a talking to.

French Bandwidth Leach Bitten
Check out the before and after screenshots on this guy's blog - he found out that a french ZDnet site was linking on an image he was hosting so he replaced it with something a bit more interesting.

(Not) My Humps
Someone has got to stop the insanity here. How in the world can a song that is this incredibly horrible get as much play as it is getting?? Here are a few links mocking this delightfully awful song.
"A song so awful it hurts the mind."
Link to article @ Slate
"Wha'cha gonna do with a crappy song? Crappy song that's far too long?"

The Chronic(les) of Narnia Rap
A "SNL Digital Short" of the Chronic of Narnia rap. Not sure when it aired originally (or if it even did) but it's worth a watch even if you haven't seen the movie...

SMART Crash
If you've seen a SMART (Swatch Mercedes ART) car you may have thought that it looks more like a coffin on wheels than a car - I mean how can you possibly survive an impact in that tiny thing without becoming SPAM in a can? Check out this video and you'll see how the SMART fares in a 70MPH collision with a 20-ton concrete block.

Cancel your AOL will ya?
This is a link to an MP3 recording of a guy that called AOL to cancel his account because a Time-Warner employee (allegedly) "mocked my dog at a piano recital" and just didn't feel right about continuing to subscribe.

Too bad it's not going to be permanent. I'm sure the crackberry peeps will hammer out some kind of last minute deal.

Hmmm... If this was standard equipment I'd have to stop by the dealership on the way home tonight.

SNL Robert Deniro Skit
I have no idea when this was on but it is one of the funniest opening skits for SNL I have ever seen. It's not very long but don't watch it if the people around you will get upset if they have to listen to you laughing out loud. I wish I could put it on my iPod!
