MadTV - Jackass

Kenny Rogers + Jackass + MadTV = one of the best skits (that i've seen) from MadTV. Here are both parts. I always enjoy the section around 2:48.

Classic line: "hey, you got eggnog in my goat milk"

For the birds

Just saw this on bestofyoutube.com and actually laughed (out loud) a bit. I love these nature films, and when birds start doing Seinfeld, what's not to love!?

Demotivators

I'm sure many people have seen the motivational posters that often line the hallways of corporate buildings or school halls/classrooms. Well, in general, things don't always turn out as rosy as we may have hoped, but thankfully there's Despair Inc. to take our pain and inabilities and make mocking posters of them..

Large Hadron Collider nearly ready

This thing is an amazing piece of engineering. Check out the link below to see some amazing pictures of the thing that could change the way scientists look at the universe and atoms.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 27 kilometer (17 mile) long particle accelerator straddling the border of Switzerland and France, is nearly set to begin its first particle beam tests. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is preparing for its first small tests in early August, leading to a planned full-track test in September - and the first planned particle collisions before the end of the year. The final step before starting is the chilling of the entire collider to -271.25 C (-456.25 F). Here is a collection of photographs from CERN, showing various stages of completion of the LHC and several of its larger experiments (some over seven stories tall), over the past several years.
