Squirrel Catapult

A fine solution to squirrels on your deck!

DRAGO!!!

So I saw this after Bill Simmons was talking about it. I'd call it a safe bet, fake Rocky got taken care of by fake Apollo.

Straight, No Chaser--12 Days of Christmas

Awesome Medley, with a nod to an 80s favorite. Enjoy. And Happy Holidays.

Garth DeFelice: Umpire, Amateur UFC Fighter

Why couldn't it have been T.O. going over the middle? Maybe he's trying to prove he's tougher then Ed Hocculi. Either way, this guy better be reffing in the playoffs. Here's the link to the original article. Enjoy.

Really?

Three Words You May Not Know

1. Calacanis
2. Fisking
3. Tesla (Motors)

Jason Calacanis takes apart a column written by NYT's Randall Stross. In this column Randall initially reported that Tesla wanted part of the auto-maker bailout money. After this post by Calacanis the column was corrected to reflect the truth of the loan that Tesla is seeking. Either way, Calacanis' post does an excellent job of explaining why Tesla is on the right path to putting a whirring car in every garage.

*I personally am interested/excited about Tesla Motors. Tesla is a California-based car company that makes all electric automobiles. Currently their only production model is a tire-burning 0-60mph in under 4 seconds $110K sports car. They aim for a $50K family-sedan next and a $30K midsize in the future. To me this is exactly where we should be looking and what we should be excited about while American is still involved in wars that are more than a little influenced by oil. Top Gear gave a less than stellar review of the car's practicality but an electric car that can compete with a Porsche 911 is pretty exciting to me. Here's what one of these cars can do.

Machete

This could be the greatest movie ever. From the Grindhouse movie that came out last year.

Bear Suit

Many of you have heard me talk about the "Guy in the Bear Suit" in the past. I found a clip of some of his greatest experiments. Background: He wants to build a suit that is safe from a Grizzly Bear attack. I'm not sure why, and I'm not sure how the bear will be driving a van with a mattress attached to it either... Enjoy.

Whaaaaa?

There is a whole article in the Washington post about this, but all you need to know:

Seriously...wtf?

So some woman sat on a toilet seat for two years. That puts Whitey's marathon bathroom breaks into perspective, eh?

It's time to celebrate!

The blog celebrated it's first birthday today. After an initial surge in posts, followed by a small decline we've settled in to a comfortable 10 per month. Keep on posting that crazy information, and I'll see what I can do to improve the blogging experience for everyone.

I realize that this post is pretty pointless, so I promise to post something of limited informational value later today. Until then...

See you at the party, Richter!
