She Breaks Just Like a Little Girl...
- Learn How to Be a Giant Nerd Quick, Easy and Free: The Atlantic discusses how Project Euler can teach people how to do anything - in this case coding! See? Sometimes I put helpful shit up here.
- Good News, Everyone! The Future is Fucking the Present: iO9 discusses ways that the myths about the future may end up screwing up your life now. Thanks a lot, Future. First no flying cars, now this.
- I AM NOT A NUMBER! (Except #1): Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling made a great music video that is a shot-for-shot remake of the opening to my beloved The Prisoner tv show (Via Newbury Comics on Facebook):
- Suprisingly, 'Irate Black Jew That Called Me the Devil' Didn't Make Me the List: Not every crazy streetperson is just crazy - they can possibly also be genius...who is also crazy. Cracked.com lists 5 crazy street people who are also geniuses. Kind of surprised Wesley Willis didn't make it, though.
- A Cock and Bull story...well, really A Cock and Cock Story: This is a pretty hilarious anecdote involving marital arguments, towels and a giant metal abomination. Well done, Blogess, well done.
- Explosions in MY MIND: Explosions in the Sky finally made a music video (and no, the ones made by YouTubers using Naruto don't count) and Wired exclusively hosted it:
- In Brightest Day, In Blackest HELLO!: FilmDrunk does some bang-up reporting in finding out that Green Lantern DC is a gay bar. In that place the ring doesn't go around your finger. Jeffrey Ross - please call me when there's a roast of Ryan Reynolds. I literally have about 150 more of these jokes.
- "Hey Conan...Where's Your Sword? Oh. There It Is. Carry On.": The new Conan (O'Barbarian not O'Brien) movie has a red band trailer. I think if there wasn't so much CGI gore, I'd be more interested. Just saying - I feel like it wouldn't be that hard to make a half-a-person mannequin on a chain.
- Tell Me He Didn't Just Say That...: Here's the latest Captain America trailer. It still looks pretty cool and I'm still interested (went to high school with Cap!), but I cannot believe that not only is there a "we're not so different you and I" speech in the movie, but they included in the dang trailer. C'MON!
