Saints Sunday links

I've been told that I never say anything nice about the Saints and that's not true. I'm just a realistic fan. There's a real chance that they might do something stupid.

Helpful:

The people have spoken: NO MORE PHONE BOOKS!! Most people don't use them, and in my case, I can get as many as four of them. Now you can opt of out receiving them.

Need to find out where an image came from? Tin Eye reverse image lookup. There are some really cool search options popping up out there.

Some facts about sleep and a podcast showing, yet again, that
later school times lead to better performance

I've blogged about this before, so maybe this will be more helpful. When to use the word "literally". Thank you, The Oatmeal.

Fun:

Again, thanks to The Oatmeal for these things you do in e-mail that make me hate you.

The internet makes me regret a lot of things, but here's the best of Regretsy. Absurd creations.

The funniest news about a band: FORMER Weezer fans offer money for the band to call it quits.A LOT of money.

Labor Day weekend links

I was saving a lot of these for a special occasion, which would be now.

I haven't had cable since February and now that I have it back, I have discovered a great VH1 countown called Undateable. It's a top 100 countdown of things a man could do to be labeled undateable. I LOVE that VH1 is as cynical as I am. They also keep me entertained on days when there's too much sun to go outside.

Fun links:

I hate stupid names but I am not the only one.

Douching isn't even good for you, and only nasty girls do it. So suggesting that if you want a raise, you have to douche, is taking it to the next level.

List of the Day: Fourteen inventions you could have thought of. Totally. Some, I wouldn't even call inventions. Then another Seven stupid products created by brands. People ought to be ashamed.

Important story suggests that standardized tests are biased against kids who don't give a shit.

Cracked: Six really creepy things slipped into kid's cartoons. REALLY creepy and inappropriate. Thanks to Netflix, I can stream them and watch them.

Nerd links:

Video of a fire tornado in Hawaii. ARMAGEDDON!!!!

How something feels affects thought.

Thinking about adding to the family? There may be no need. "Only child" syndrome may be a myth.

Everything else:

Paste Magazine is shutting down. How sad. They tried to keep things going but couldn't do it. I appreciated getting my new music every month and hope to continue to support them on their site.

We know you're lying, and so are we. The top 13 books people lie about having read. Some of us have been forced to read Cantebury Tales, but even a lit major hasn't read these.

Unload!

Gotta make room!

I'm going to first start by mentioning the the scariest sound in the solar system (I would like to say 'universe' but I'm sure there are scarier sounds beyond our limits). Scientists have recorded the sounds of solar coronal loops- the giant magnetic flares that come from the sun's coronal atmosphere. They call it "music" but I call it "sounds of impending death".

To the ladies: Are your friends lying to you? Of course they are. Because you want them to. Quite a good article about how women handle relationships and the general decision to not hear the truth from those loved ones who should be the first to be able to tell it.

If you've become complacent with using PCs and Microsoft programs, you may need to pay attention. Apple is rising while Microsoft is slowly declining. It may be time to start learning to use other programs.Trust in Google :)

And finally, why I'll never be an adult. I was so surprised to find that this is exactly how my life goes. Then I was sad.

Then this made me happy. One of the best auto tune edits that I've heard. It's so worth it.

While this call isn't new, it's enjoying some new attention: Jimmy Dean complaint call. We all know that 12 oz of sausage just isn't enough. Even better? ultimately, they won. The 16 oz is back! I admit that watching those videos TOTALLY makes me want some JD sausage (without the T-bone, that is).

Yet more junk

Can I stop collecting it? No. But as long as I'm amused (or shocked!) I will keep posting it!

For instance, I am thoroughly shocked and appalled that there really is a sequel to Titanic in the making.
And apparently there will be severe earthquakes in Califonia and British Colombia, Canada. There may be something off with the guy and I'd feel really bad if there was, but it's still funny to listen to.
This is what is being called the The BP Fail Whale
At this very moment, I should be doing something important, but I'm not. And you're not, either. I love Pearls before Swine.
I am a sucker for teh cute. Kids and dogs make me happy.
Speaking of dogs, here are some fun life lessons we should learn from a dog. I wonder what life lessons from a cat would be like?
I really enjoy all of the Justin Bieber is a girl jokes.
This may be my new favorite way to jank people on Facebook: Openbook. You can keyword search and see people's updates using those words. YES. Now I know for sure that Facebook is stalkerific.

UNLOAD LINKS!

I have too much stuff that I need to unload. I have seriously slacked on the intellectual information but I will return with good stuff soon!

Bad cocaine can rot your flesh. Drugs 'r' bad, mmkay??

High cagefighter rips amigo's heart out. 'Cause DRUGS ARE BAD. Was this guy practicing for the real life Mortal Kombat?!

Probably not anything people haven't already discussed or written about, but I like that they share videos for their 20 best Seinfeld moments

My favorite local bartender shared these 86 rules for being a good bar patron. EVERY man under the age of 30 should know these.

I know that English is the hardest language to learn but Engrish is still funny. Really funny. I will adopt some of these 32 Engrish subtitle mistakes into my regular lexicon. "You ugly you look like your twelve year old turtle". Because you do.

Stuff that makes you and me cooler than everyone else:

Time lapse video of the Iceland volcano. It is really beautiful and amazing to see, especially now that it's over.

A fun optical illusion. Sometimes I don't lose all faith in the future of mankind.

Some facts about bacteria. It's good to know what's trying to kill you (the viruses will be the ones to succeed in killing you)

LISTEN UP! These are some really important FACTS ABOUT PETA that EVERYONE should know. The organization isn't this all good-serving, animal-loving peace-keeping company.

We are so fortunate but we mostly complain that we don't have more. Let's get a little perspective.

This hipster bullcrap needs to stop! A graphjam on Che Guevara shirts. If you don't know what he did, click that link. And if you're wearing skinny jeans when you do it, I hope you burst into flames.

Late and slow

My computer is being very slow so I can't get through my reader updates. Instead, I will share some of these more ridiculous links:

I am a HUGE fan of the recent Old Spice commercials (and an even bigger fan of the actor Isiah that is in one of them), so this cake amused me endlessly. I want to put my face in it.

Bret Michaels has endured many trials recently so in honor of him and his accomplishments, he has been honored. This amuses me endlessly.

List of the Day has some clips of a very funny site called My Ex Wife's Wedding Dress. 101 new uses for it.

I don't care much for Flash but Photoshop is still the best.

If you don't believe me, look at these user photos on Amazon. They amused me endlessly. Heh heh.

Thanks to my tech buddy for sharing this with me. Now all heterosexual men and homosexual women can properly learn CPR. This aroused me endlessly.

The site that could be most useful next to Google: What's that called. Want to know the name of that song on a commercial? Find it here! TV show? They can help! Now you don't have to be aggravated that your local Wal Mart sales associate can't help you pinpoint that song that's been stuck in your head all day.

Ten things that everyone should know about penis. This amuses me until about five inches. ;)
