Not Often Infrequent Consistency!

Tuesday Roundup for 03/02/2010

Good morning, or afternoon, all.  I'm doing this earlier from now on, going with a Tuesday roundup instead of Wednesday.  The podcast is coming along nicely (really!) and should be released later this week, unless I have to record Friday, but we'll see after tonight.  Plenty of items for you in the roundup this week, even though it was only 6 days, so get your pants back on, it's roundup time!

This week's featured blog is Something Awful.  This is a perverted, disgusting website that no one should look at.  However, if you accidentally do look at this website, I highly recommend checking out the Comedy Goldmine (interesting forum posts) and Photoshop Phriday (photoshop contests) posts, possibly Video Game Article (the one sentence reviews are pretty good).  Each piece of the website has its own style of posts that are really funny, and with so many people and so many topics, they are constantly posting and with enough content there will always be something entertaining.  Today's offering from somethingawful is from their "Horrors of Pornography" section (NSFW!).  To keep with current events, the theme of this porn video is curling, like the Olympic sport.  The video clip on the page, though it contains no nudity, is not safe for work, please don't get fired because of me.  Anyway, this just goes to show you how bizarre the world is when it comes to porn.

From Failblog:  This is definitely my favorite spelling mistake so far, and it even uses my favorite curse word!  (I guess it's NSFW for language)

From This is Why You're Fat:  I've always thought making food look like other food was a lot of fun, apparently someone else had that same idea, though it might take a second glance to realize what's going on there.

From ChannelAte:  There are so many webcomics out there, so I'll try to post some of the more obscure ones here, as long as they're funny.  That is, until I start making my own which should be soon after the first podcast...  Anyway, this was hilarious, and if you laugh, you're a sexist pig.

From A Softer World:  This comic has alt-text if you mouse over it, and it's also a great solution to some pesky astronomical problems, too.

From Cyanide & Happiness:  Don't watch this video first.  The credits for it are awesome, but for context, you should watch this one first.  The comics over at C&H are also pretty good, but more often than not they're highly offensive.

From Dealnews:  I'm not going to post things from dealnews on here often, but they're a great site and if you're in the market to buy anything (expensive or not) I highly recommend checking their site to see if it's on sale somewhere.  Also, their posts can be funny sometimes (they had an old one about the space shuttle for sale) and this week had some good offerings including cuff-links and transportation.

From Bad Astronomy:  Phil Plait's niece is weird and I wish I could grow a mustache to help with her cause.  I also would love to see an eclipse from a jet.

From How Stuff Works:  Math is awesome, and I loves me the explanation for how to cut pizza.  Also, the laser cutting video is pretty sweet.

From Dudecraft:  Who doesn't love the wacky antics of Lady Gaga?

From Make Online:  I would love one of these trees in the house somewhere, or maybe "planted" outside would look awesome.  What won't college professors do to try to shock their students?  A great snow sculpture/pun that actually made me CQTM (chuckle quietly to myself).  Watch near the middle of this video for the plasma arcing.  Also, my birthday is coming up soon, anyone wanna buy me a guitar?

From Boing Boing:  It would be nice to get this kind of affirmation from more appliances.  In case this poll closes, here are all the titles:  "The Changing World of Inflammatory Bowel Disease," "Collectible Spoons of the 3rd Reich," "Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes," "Governing Lethal Behavior in Autonomous Robots," "What Kind of Bean is this Chihuahua?," "Afterthoughts of a Worm Hunter."  I would just link to the video, but the explanation helps.  Juggalos, need I say more?  I always thought defacing money was a crime, but these people do a great job at it (there are a few links from there to great galleries).  I'm not sure how the hour would change (it would require both sides to lose at the same time) but I do love the idea of this clock.  Why are there so many posts about bananas?  I know this is buddingmonkey's territory, but I found some info on Portal that I couldn't not pass on to you guys.  There's always another side to an article and in this case, they neglect to mention that shorter days means more of 'em.  I just saw this before posting and had to link to it, I think science and math need to not take themselves as seriously and this would be a great way to show the world that they're not as uptight as people think.

That's all, see you next Tuesday!
