Rock Band = Awesome

I picked up rock band today. So much fun. Too bad they haven't put out the patch that lets you use the guitar hero 3 guitar.

Oh Picnicface, what will you think of next?

Here's another video from Picnicface; full of randomness as per usual.

Hilarious!

Here are a few youtube gems:

PC ads

There was a fifth ad in the "Promises made, Promises broken" series that was more scathing than the rest. It was quickly taken off the website after several complaints. Here's a transcript:

"In 2003, Dalton McGuinty's son fell off his bike.
While trying to calm him down, he promised his son they'd go to Disney Land in 2007.
It's 2007: They haven't gone to Disney Land.
Dalton McGuinty: Dead beat dad, dead beat premier."

Funny Stuff

I can't count the number of times I've watched this and I still laugh out loud.

Wow.

This is what Ozzy would sound like if he didn't mumble. Such as.

To all you not-watchin'-UFC people:

UFC 71 was great. You should watch it. Even the matches that nobody cared about ended up being good. Go. Now. Watch.

How war was meant to be...

My apologies if I've posted this before.

UFC Upsets

UFC 69: Matt Serra - would be a has been, if he had ever been much of anything. Showed some promise but never made it. Gets a title shot by winning a reality show versus a bunch of other would-be has beens.
Georges St. Pierre - Unseated the most dominant welterweight champ in UFC history in his last fight. Huge favourite to win.

Highlights

UFC 70: Gabe Gonzaga - Mainly a Jiu Jitsu guy. The underdog by most accounts, but was picked to win by submission by enough people.
Mirko Cro Cop: A pretty dominant kick boxer with some pretty dirty kicks.

View some of Cro Cop's aforementioned dirty kicks:

Finally!

The government has finally seen the light and is going to ban incandescent bulbs by 2012. I'm sure they could've done it by 2010, but progress is progress.

Good Deal

1GB SD cards at Future Shop are a pretty decent deal at $14.99
But Best Buy is selling the same cards for $59.99. So point that out to them and get the same price minus 10% of the difference: $10.49 each.

I've never wanted to vote for the Marijuana Party more than I did after seeing this photo of the leader on their website:


Keep up the good work guys!

Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish

Belinda is leaving politics. After all, the Liberals don't have seem to have a chance of forming the government in the next election, so why would she stick around? I'll miss the old "You're only picking on me because I'm a beautiful woman in politics and that threatens you" routine any time somebody called her for her opportunism or the overall shitty job she was doing. Let's file this politician in the forget about me as soon as I'm gone column beside the likes of Miguel Figueroa and Jean-Serge Brisson.

This game would be even better if there wasn't a lag between making a gesture and seeing it happen on screen.

When will those crazy Iraqi secretaries realize that violence isn't the answer?

Sadly, this error has been fixed since getting the screen shot.

Scientists say pollution may combat global warming

Updated Thu. Nov. 16 2006 2:49 PM ET

NAIROBI, Kenya -- If the sun warms the Earth too dangerously, the time may come to draw the shade. The "shade" would be a layer of pollution deliberately spewed into the atmosphere to help cool the planet. This over-the-top idea comes from prominent scientists, among them a Nobel laureate.

The reaction here at the UN conference on climate change is a mix of caution, curiosity and some resignation to such "massive and drastic" operations, as the chief UN climatologist describes them.

The Nobel Prize-winning scientist who first made the proposal is himself "not enthusiastic about it.".....

The Dutch climatologist, awarded a 1995 Nobel in chemistry for his work uncovering the threat to Earth's atmospheric ozone layer, suggested that balloons bearing heavy guns be used to carry sulfates high aloft and fire them into the stratosphere.

While carbon dioxide keeps heat from escaping Earth, substances such as sulfur dioxide, a common air pollutant, reflect solar radiation, helping cool the planet.

Tom Wigley, a senior U.S. government climatologist, followed Crutzen's article with a paper of his own on Oct. 20 in the leading U.S. journal Science. Like Crutzen, Wigley cited the precedent of the huge volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991.

Pinatubo shot so much sulfurous debris into the stratosphere that it is believed it cooled the Earth by .9 degrees for about a year....

A massive dissemination of pollutants would be needed every year or two, as the sulfates precipitate from the atmosphere in acid rain.

Wigley said a temporary shield would give political leaders more time to reduce human dependence on fossil fuels -- the main source of greenhouse gases. He said experts must more closely study the feasibility of the idea and its possible effects on stratospheric chemistry.

Nairobi conference participants agreed.

"Yes, by all means, do all the research," Indian climatologist Rajendra K. Pachauri, chairman of the 2,000-scientist UN network on climate change, told The Associated Press.

But "if human beings take it upon themselves to carry out something as massive and drastic as this, we need to be absolutely sure there are no side effects," Pachauri said...

Oh Snap!

This post from Overheard at Western is probably the best they've ever had.

What a wonderful world.

Think of what a great place this would be if everyone was as compassionate as these guys. I can't seem to find the pictures on the net. If anyone sees them, please send me the link.
