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.

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."

"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.

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!
