Fail became a Win!!

I just love it when things work out magically. Because of entropy and the ever infamous Murphy's law most stuff doesn't work out and things mostly go from shit to complete and utter shit pretty fast. But thanks to random quantum fluctuations or QuanFluxes as I endearingly like to call them, total fails can become massive wins. The power of QuanFluxes can generally be harnessed by the Flux Capacitor FYI.

Just take a gander at this lucky SOB. He could have been the victim of yet another unoriginal skateboard fail. There's more skateboard fails out there then there are melancholy Emo kids strumming a sad tune in their rooms. But this...this is great. This proves that the highly unlikely still happens. Thanks miraculous skateboard kid!

Spidergoat

Spidergoat, Spidergoat...friendly rural cliff Spidergoat! Check out this crazy-ass goat climbing up sheer vertical cliffs with ease and pizazz! I can't even shimmy up a footstool without feeling all wobbly and unsafe. A goat-human hybrid would be pretty cool...kind of like this guy. Humans really got unlucky in the defying gravity department. We can't fly or stick to walls without the aid of some serious technology.

But guess where we really lucked out? Yep, you guessed it...our personal greeting rituals. Imagine having to smell your bosses butt and no no zones every morning? In order to recognize whether a person is a friend or foe you would have to march into their washroom and stick your head in their toilet. Now don't you feel lucky? I sure do.

Grandpa saves the day!

This guy is seriously the best. He doesn't let his arthritis and blood pressure stop him from being a super hero! How brave is he? He totally owns this punk criminal. All us young spring chickens can learn a thing or two from him. He's my hero:)

What do I gotta do?

Do I gotta get water from the moon? Nasa recently announced that astronauts have confirmed the discovery of water on the moon. Pretty cool news if you ask me. There is one person, however, for whom this news does not bode well. Somewhere deep in the heart of a Las Vegas condo, Celine Dion is on her knees screaming "Noooooooo, I curse thee Nasa!". With this recent news, Celine's early 90's hit Water from the Moon is now defunct. Sorry Celine, next time you might wanna change it to Dark Matter from Andromeda.

So, essentially, before this discovery, water on the moon was the equivalent of When Pigs Fly. So, I can therefore look forward to the day when pigs can be found perched on trees and fire escapes. No more bacon for anyone. :(

Technology is spooky

So I was in a cab going to my parents place from the airport and I got into a real neato conversation with the cab driver. She was awesome and we chatted it up for a while. We got to talking about quantum theory, which then lead to theories of consciousness. Yes, strange conversation in a cab but if you are going to talk about quantum theory, it better be in a cab. She told me about a new technology in Japan that has allowed researchers to actually project images from the brain onto a computer screen using an fMRI machine.

I told her I would Google it, and Google it I did! Holy shit show, she was right! It came out in December of last year. If you missed it here's the story. The applications of this technology are cool. You could potentially record dreams. I'm not so sure I'd want to record all of my dreams. Especially the one's where I'm in a public place and I'm all of a sudden naked or not wearing pants. I wonder what those mean? Or that one I had about Richard Gere that one time. Umm, nevermind about that one. Eww Richard Gere. Can you say Richard Gere without thinking of a hamster? I can't.

Best Costume Ever

This is the best Halloween costume in the world. This has to be the work of a fan boy for a convention for sure. Those fan boys sure know how to take costumes to new heights of geekdom. I wish one of them would design me a Silk Spectre costume.

















Shit...I better do some serious crunches before I attempt a costume like that. Not only that, I'd be in for a series of costume malfunctions and camel toes so I'd need to be extra vigilant about my nether regions all night. Enjoy the awesomeness of a real live Bumblebee...he even transforms!

Geez...it's not the skateboard's fault

So everyone loves a good Fail video. For old people that aren't aware, a "fail" is what the cool kids say nowadays when someone does something stupid or they just utterly fail at what they were intending to do. An "epic fail" is a really bad fail. Pretty soon "epic fail" is going to trickle up to the grown-ups and it will no longer be cool at all to say. It's probably already outgrown it's shelf life at this writing. Sorry grown-ups, it's true. Just like what happened to MySpace. You guys ran all the kids off that site.

I myself am a grown-up and am slowly realizing that I'm no longer that cool anymore. I've just hit 30 and am on the cusp of losing all coolness. That's okay though, I'm looking forward to embarrassing teens in the coming decades.

So here's a fail...it's a good one. Not "epic" because I'm not allowed to say that at my age.

A link you'll probably use...

...if you're a stalker. Hee hee I joke. I mean I'm serious. I mean, I dunno. I guess it could come in kind of handy to stalkers. Or you could send anonymous emails to that annoying teacher or boss you can't stand. The possibilities are endless, really.

It also could be used to avoid using your real email address when you sign up for crap in which you will undoubtedly be sent spam. This avoids all that. What I speak of is guerillamail.org. It gives you temporary disposable email addresses that last for about 30 minutes or more. Just long enough to get your results on some stupid online quiz you felt coerced into completing. And who has the last laugh huh? Spammers? Certainly not.

Fast and the Furious: Toddler Drift

You saw the toddler that caught a giant fish with her bare hands. Here's another amazing kid with insane skills. Vin Diesel's head is probably spinning like a giant, bald top. Paul Walker's ego is insanely bruised. Why? Because this kid has been asked to be his stunt double. I love the little adjustments he makes at the end. He clearly didn't understand his own awesomeness until the end of the video.

Most important video you'll ever see...

So those familiar with astrophysics and the like are familiar with the Hubble telescope. I like, no...love, the Hubble telescope. It's big and shiny and takes purty pictures for my computer desktop...oh and it also delves into the most important questions of humankind. So you may know that it once took pictures for days of one pinprick segment of the cosmos and it was called the Deep Field. This pic blew everyone's brain stem, including mine. Every dot of light in the pic is a whole galaxy. When I think about how big space is I get a really weird feeling in my lower spine/tailbone area. Same feeling I get when I'm up real high. Great Scott I'm afraid of heights...anyways that's besides the point.


Well this video talks about another Deep Field shot by Hubble and it's in 3D. Check it out. It will make you feel so small you'll never feel fat in that bikini again! The Hubble diet plan...I need to patent this idea...

5 year old Chuck Norris

This kid is incredible. Never mind Bear Grylls, that dude that stares into the camera and eats bugs. This kid can survive a month alone in the desert. This kid can stop a bullet with her bare hands. She is a reincarnation of Chuck Norris...wait he's not dead, nor will he ever die. He probably just provided his mutant DNA to her mother in hopes of passing on his legacy of awesome...

Now that's teamwork...

These ants are pretty slick. They create a lifeboat out of their own bodies to save their queen. Think of the human equivalent. All of London, England creating a human raft to carry a 1000 lb. Queen Elizabeth and all of the Royal Family across the Atlantic Ocean. I'd feel bad for the jerks in the middle.

Holy shitballs...

These people missed their final destination by a second. But don't worry, their "final destination" will chase them around like in those ridiculous movies. Just who was behind the final destination "entity" in those movies? Death, God, Martha Stewart? Some angry little gremlin weaving a tapestry of destruction. By the way never watch the movie The Cradle. Pure retardedness. The whole movie is based around some type of final destination entity versus a baby. Will the baby be okay? Will he not? That is the question throughout this dumbass movie. I stopped caring halfway through and yet kept watching out of pure stubbornness.

Whatevs...I can do that

So this hot shot is trying to show us all up with his fancy shmancy jumping out of pool ability. Well...umm...guess what? I can beat him in a couple of other things. Namely: drinkin' ceasars, lying for long periods of time, and appearing to work whilst not. Betcha he's never played Fallout 3 for 8 hours straight. Hrumph...we're all specialists in something!

Quantum Weirdness

Okay so I'm a nerd. I love science, technology etc. I read a lot about quantum theory. Some of that stuff will blow your mind. It will have your head spinning like a top. It will literally knock your keister off kilter. Okay enough of that.

If you don't know about the double-slit experiment (sounds dirty but it's not), then feast your eyes on this. Let Dr. Quantum break it down for ya...

Test your mastery of the Force

So speaking of psychics and whatnot...here's a link that you might find interesting if you wanna test your ESP skills. It's kind of cool because it does a z-test (which is something I use all the time for school). It's a statistical test that determine's whether your result is significant beyond chance blah-di-blah blah.

Click on the pics below to see the screenshots of my results. Anywho the tests showed that I have evidence for "Fair" psychokinesis and precognition.Sweet! Charles Xavier School for the Gifted here I come. Maybe Wolverine will date me if he's not still hung up on that Jean Grey b&%$%.

What's a billion times infinity?

Hey, ever wonder how long it would take to get from Venus to Vlargon 5 while taking into account special relativity? Okay Vlargon 5 isn't a real place but it should be. This handy dandy website will let you compute everything. You want to find out the mass of 11 electrons? Done. You want to find out the population of Kalamazoo? Done. The possibilities truly are endless. Lately I've been using it to finalize string theory equations. Damn hard work I tells ya.
