Obama Catches Fainting Woman
During a speech this morning abut the Affordable Care Act, a women behind President Obama appeared to faint. Obama was able to help catch the woman before she took a header to the platform. It's Obamacare in action: He's there to catch you if you're not feeling well. Or the details of the Affordable Care Act made her woozie. Or -- and most likely -- she's a zombie who needed to feast on fresh brains. Whichever scenario, she'll most likely be [...]

What Does The Fox Say?
I'm a little late to the prom on this one but Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis (brothers Vegard and Bård Ylvisåker) have recently released a fantastically funny and thought provoking video: "What Does the Fox Say?" Uploaded to Youtube on Sept 3, 2013, the video already has over 53,000,000 views!! Holy crap that's a lot of views in three weeks. So what does the fox say?

Los Angeles in the 1950s
Here's a terrific video of Los Angeles in the 1950s. I believe this was shot on the very last day it was easy to drive on the 101 and downtown was actually thriving. And I love the quick shot of Ralph's.
Crime Fighting Geese
According to The Telegraph, police in Xinjiang, China have started using geese to help them fight crime. The poultry police are "extremely vigilant and having excellent hearing," according to Xinjiang police chief Zhang. “Geese are very brave. They spread their wings and will attack any strangers entering [someone’s] home,” said Mr Zhang. In some ways, they are more useful than dogs. A household normally keeps one dog [but] an intruder can throw a drugged bun to kill the dog. Geese are normally kept [...]
Two Great Stories From Shanghaiist
I love Shanghaiist. If you have never been to their site and are a Sinophile like I am, hie thee to their site right away. Today there are two headlines that made me laugh out loud, The first: Survey: China is the World's Fourth 'Horniest' Country The survey was done by AskMen, China is the fourth horniest country. Who's first? Greece. I suppose they grew tired of the Occupy Greece movement and moved on to Occupy Vagistan. Here's what AskMen has to [...]
Batman Screen Test
When I was a kid I was a huge fan of the Batman series. I mean, really, what was not to love? The show was campy, kitschy, and had those great "bam" and "pow" graphics. The show also had the best actors playing villains: Milton Berle, Vincent Price, Roddy McDowall, Burgess Meredith, Cesar Romero, to name just a few. Adam West and Burt Ward were terrific as Batman and Robin. But what if Batman and Robin had been [...]
