He-Man And The Homos Of The Universe Video | Politically Incorrect Kids Cartoon Spoof

Posted: 22 Feb 2010 09:35 AM PST

It’s rare for something, anything, to make me laugh out loud these days. I spend my life finding things mildly amusing, but laughing out loud? That’s an annual occurrence at best. Yes, I am a joy to live with.

This video has provided me with my one out loud laugh for 2010, and it’s come very early. Which means I’ll have to spend the rest of the year chortling away inside to no one and nothing in particular.

It’s a very simple spoof really, just turning He-Man and The Masters Of The Universe in to He-Man and The Homos Of The Universe. They didn’t even bother changing the logo, just sticking to the voice over instead.

Luckily, the voice over is very well done, sounding very close to the real thing, so it works extremely well. And I think I prefer He-Man as gay – it all fits together much better than the original storyline.

Thank God I’m A Country Boy Live Video | John Denver Sings John Martin Sommers Song

Posted: 22 Feb 2010 04:35 AM PST

It’s strange how certain songs can be refreshed or thrown back into the news for an odd reason. And that’s just what has happened with Thank God I’m A Country Boy by John Denver.

There are currently a lot of people searching for this song on the Web, and that’s purely because the pair from France used it to accompany their Ice Dancing routine at the Winter Olympics over the weekend. Those crazy French.

Thank God I’m A Country Boy is about as country as you can get, with fiddles and an up-tempo beat to accompany the singing. Here, John Denver sings the song written by John Martin Sommers way back in 1975.

Ice Dancing may be a ludicrous sport – it is, I checked – but this song is a classic that I’m glad has gained another airing because of it.

Bloom Box Energy (Video) | Fuel Cell Power As Seen On 60 Minutes

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 08:59 PM PST

After NASA bailed using his original invention to produce oxygen on Mars, K.R. Sridhar created the Bloom Box. The device is about the size of a refrigerator and uses fuel cell technology to produce clean energy 5x as efficient as solar panels.

Companies like Google and Ebay have been the first to buy the $800,000 boxes, but the Sridhar predicts that the boxes could get down to costing only $3000 and potentially be used to power your home within a few years.

Having done a lot of research on clean and cheap energy for home use, I always felt as if solar panels were the way to go. Installing $30,000 solar panels may be costly at first, but not paying another electric bill has always been a dream of mine.

But now that the Bloom Box as finally been revealed, I’m now switching my decision to fuel cell technology. If the device never needs to be connected to an electric grid and can run for 30 years, the decision is a no-brainier.

As of right now only the super-wealthy can afford the boxes. Then again, laptops and cell phones were once out of reach for the average middle class consumer.

How Killer Whales Kill Sharks (Video) | Great White Sharks No Longer Top The Food Chain?

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 08:11 PM PST

Great white’s are known as the sea’s most formidable creatures. At least that’s what they told me when I went to Sea World. But for a certain pack of killer whales off the coast of Australia, this isn’t the case.

This “gang” of whales have figured out a way to kill great whites and stingrays with ease.

I grew up watching movies like Free Willy where killer whales were regarded as cute and harmless as dolphins. As this National Geographic video explains, that is no longer true with the discovery of ‘tonic immobility.’

Apparently when sharks and rays are held upside down they become helpless in the water- sort of like cockroaches. Who knew?

Watch Awesome Virtusphere Gaming Video | Full Body Immersion Virtual Reality

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 04:51 PM PST

Experience gaming in a whole new way with the ‘hamster ball’ virtual reality gaming system that lets you literally walk around virtual worlds.

Hey, at least now gamers will be getting some exercise when they are playing.

While I don’t think this technology is quite as revolutionary as it first seems – isn’t it just melding gaming and paintball? – it is still pretty darn cool.

I am just wondering what sort of real life places they think this is going to be realistic for.

The average person isn’t going to have the space or the money for one of these things, so will it be worth it if limited to larger arcades and billionaire gamers’ houses?

Watch Patty Hearst on Larry King Live Video | Kidnapped Publishing Company Heiress Talks

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 04:05 PM PST

Patty Hearst first became famous at nineteen when the Hearst Publishing Company heiress was kidnapped by Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). She later announced she had joined the SLA and participated in a bank robbery with them.

Ms. Hearst did spend time in jail for her part in the crime, but her lawyer got her a reduced sentence, claiming that she was a victim of brainwashing via sexual abuse.

Some people are more than happy to say that she should still be in jail while others feel nothing but sympathy for a woman who has been through a lot.

What do you think?

Cute Cat Gives a Massage Video | Kitty Kneads Feline Pal

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 03:38 PM PST

It's been a while since I’ve posted something shamelessly cute. Does it get any more adorable than a kitty massage?

This pretty tabby cat is playing masseuse to his furry friend. And from the look of bliss on Fluffy’s face, he’s doing a pretty good job. In fact, I’m a little jealous!

I do hope they swapped positions later to make it fair. After giving such a lovely massage, this puss deserves his own chance to relax.

If only we could harness the kitty’s skills though. Who’d ever pay big bucks for a professional massage when they could get one like this at home?

Raptor Mascot Eats Cheerleader Video | When Mascots Attack

Posted: 20 Feb 2010 02:33 PM PST

It’s got to suck being a basketball mascot. While the cheerleaders are soaking up the applause in their skimpy attire, you’re sweating under a heavy full-body costume. Is it any wonder that the Toronto Raptor decided to take revenge?

In this hilarious clip we see the dinosaur approach one of those pretty blonde things and swallow her whole! With his belly full, he then proceeds to leave the court. At least he didn’t feel like dessert!

Personally though, I think the Raptor has questionable tastes. There’s bound to be a lot more meat on an umpire or coach after all!
