One of the best jokes ever

OK, it is old, it is black & white but it is funny and one of the best.

OK one more I’ve never seen before but it was a good one too.  One of the features of YouTube.com, you can’t get away.

Star Trek 2009 & A-Team

You want stupid, this is it.  The new ST movie with the credit music from the old A-Team.

Stupid it is but still fun to watch and listen to if you are a fan of them.

2012

Well a couple of weeks ago I posted about all the “worries” about the end of the world on 12/21/12 and how the odds are big time against it in Vegas and everywhere else.

This past weekend we went to see the movie, “2012”, the number one movie of the year (according to the movie’s own site).

I have to say that even though everything is destroyed and we all die, it was a good flick.  OK, some of what I said in the preceding sentence wasn’t quite right, but I can’t give you any spoilers here.

And let’s look at who is in it: Danny Glover, John Cusack, Thandie Newton, how could it go wrong.  Well it could have but it didn’t.

Was it worth the $7 a ticket?  Probably, “yes” for the huge screen view of things coming apart.  I would recommend this one for you to spend the extra $$ on.  The story will be the same on your widescreen TV but not quite as destructive looking.

SyFy – The odds on 2012’s End of the World

 

Here are the REAL odds that the world will end in 2012

Take that, critics: Roland Emmerich’s disaster marathon 2012 is a big hit, opening in first place with an estimated $65 million domestically and $225 million worldwide, easily making back its production costs in just one weekend.

But the real question remains: How likely is it that the REAL world will end in 2012?

Well, the Web sportsbook BetUS.com has posted actual odds on whether the world ends in December ‘12, as some doomsayers would have us believe, based on their interpretation of the Mayan Long Count calendar, among other things.

Here are the site’s odds…

Dolly Parton and MSIE 8

From this video you will see that Dolly is quite the IE afficionado.
Who would have believed it?!

Courier: not a font

If you haven’t heard about it yet you will sooner than later.

Microsoft Courier is their new hardware creation which is a tablet computer.

Check here for more info as it becomes available.

If it is as good as the video it will most likely become the new “thing” in the cyber-world.  Take a look below.

If Star Trek ran on MS Windows…

Slick video that shows the importance of running Windows, even well into the future.  Funny!

I got it from Kim Komando’s newsletter today.

What a card trick!

OK this video is an excellent card trick.  I was an amateur magician many, many moons ago and have never seen anything quite this good.

Yes, it takes almost 5 minutes to watch, but I think it is well worth it…watch and see.  He performs the trick to the words and rhythm of the song “Shape of My Heart” by Sting (not one of my favorite groups, matter of fact I never listen to them) but it works well here.

Very good sleight of hand there Shawn!

Rare Long-Eared Jerboa Poses for a Picture

The Mountain of Flames in Turpan City, China, known for having the coolest name for a mountain in existence, has a new distinction to add to its credentials: home for the rare long-eared Jerboa.

The long-eared Jerboa (Euchoreutes naso) is a nocturnal rodent that is so unique, it has its own genus (Euchoreutes) and subfamily (Euchoreutinae). It possess disproportionately long legs to hop…
