Here’s a fun little experiment. Just go to Google and type in “find Chuck Norris” and hit “I Feel Lucky”. What you get is a chilling reminder of the power the bearded one holds…
Ok, normally I think this type of stuff is stupid. But for some reason this site full of cat pictures made me laugh out loud. Maybe I just need more sleep.

UPDATE: Oh so many more of them
I think everyone is pretty much familiar with the “Chuck Norris Facts” floating around the net (Chuck Norris sleeps with a nightlight. Not because Chuck Norris is afraid of the dark, but because the dark is afraid of Chuck Norris.). Well, Chuck is in trouble, because here comes Jack Bauer! Time for some Jack Bauer facts!
Top 5 personal favorites:
-Life doesn’t give Jack Bauer lemons. Life asks him which fruit he wants.
-The city of Los Angeles once named a street after Jack Bauer in gratitude for his saving the city several times. They had to rename it after people kept dying when they tried to cross the street. No one crosses Jack Bauer and lives.
-When asked what he got on his S.A.T’s, Jack Bauer promptly responded “Blood.”
-Some people see the glass as half full. Others see it as half empty. Jack Bauer see the glass as a deadly weapon.
and finally…
-It’s no use crying over spilt milk… Unless that was Jack Bauer’s milk. Oh you are so screwed.
Did you hear that? I think Chuck Norris just wet himself.
That’s a lot of jug handles: Link
NewTeeVee is reporting that the first four episodes of 24 season 6 are available as torrents!!! w00t! That means you can now get the 1337357 show on TV on teh intrawebs before it’s aired. Season 6 is set to premiere Sunday on Fox.
This is a deeply twisted but absolutely hysterical video. It’s a Tickle Me Elmo (or more specifically a TMX) on fire. What makes it twisted is Elmo’s thrashing around and his pleas to “Stop it, stop!” What makes it hysterical is that it’s Elmo, on fire.

Ah, the joys of the Long Tail…
BrickFlick is a site dedicated to re-creating scenes from video games using only Legos. They apparently started by making a video of Grand Theft Auto, rendered in Legos, and have gone on to do scenes from Mortal Kombat, Contra (Up up, down down, left right, left right, B A Start!), and others.
I’m firmly convinced you can find ANYTHING on the internet, and finds like this only encourage that belief.
So someone known only as Celarent has made a brilliant animation of what Mario would have been like in communist Russia. Wish I had more info on this, but here’s the link anyway. Anyone know the deal? Leave it in the comments.
Apparently Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the genius deviants behind South Park, were contracted by Shockwave.com to do an online cartoon. They were contracted to do 64 episodes, but apparently Shockwave.com wasn’t happy with what they were getting, so only two were produced. They’re pretty funny, and really, really filthy.
Have you ever found yourself sitting at your computer one day thinking “I wonder what the Indiana State Sycamore’s football helmet looked like in 1987?” or better yet “When did UVA switch from white helmets to blue helmets? Well if you ever have then have I got the site for you. I was introduced to “The Helmet Project” a few years ago and have been constantly amazed at the level of detail this site has. The author of this site has documented the football helmet histories of every pro and college team in the United States since 1960. Have a burning desire to know when the Green Bay Packers switched from grey to green facemasks? Are you constantly perplexed by the myriad of helmet changes that the Oregon Ducks (and Nike) force on us? Well they’re all here. Enjoy! As a college football fan I love this site!
The internet is fertile ground for the niche. Unlike print, radio, or TV, the cost of entry is next to nothing, meaning that more people are able to publish about their passions. In traditional media if you publish something and only a few people read it you won’t be able to meet the monetary requirements to keep publishing. But on the internet, a site that only has a few loyal readers can keep going for about the cost of feeding a starving child in Africa. This leads to a wide variety of niche sites, each perfectly suited to its small but zealous readers. All of this is just a long winded way of saying I found a site that speaks to me deeply. I now present to you, for your reading pleasure, A Hamburger Today. (Go ahead, go read it. You can come back and thank me later).
Reasons why A Hamburger Today is genius:
- Hamburgers have been scientifically proven to be nature’s perfect food.
- Quality of hamburgers varies widely from restaurant to restaurant. From piles of monkey puke (Fuddruckers) to steamed pillows of glory (White Castle), to the best damn burger on the planet (Mike’s Grill, Blacksburg, VA). Because of this, it’s important to have someone rate burgers at various places, so we know what we’re getting into
- Who doesn’t love looking at pictures of burgers?
Ah, Mike’s Grill. My vote for “Happiest Place on Earth” (screw you Walt!). I’m going to get you a little drunk on words before I show you the money shot. Mike’s opened for business in 1976 (ooh, me too!) and the smart money bets that they haven’t cleaned the grill since. That’s the secret. The waitresses wear shorts all year (ooh, also like me!), the prices haven’t changed in years, and if, for some reason, you’re not in the mood for a burger, you can get a calzone the size of your head. They allegedly have pizza also, but I’ve never been able to substantiate that. Ok, are you ready now?
Reasons Mike’s is the best:
- The grill. Don’t think they ever clean it. Don’t think they ever should.
- The prices. Two people can have burgers, fries, and sodas for about $12. Gotta love college towns
- The decor. Faux wood panelling everywhere.
- They serve the burgers upside down. I asked why one time. The waitress told me it so the grease doesn’t soak through the thinner bottom bun. I love this place
