A Bright Idea

The best band ever is Bright Eyes. The second best band in the world would be a musical group that covered Bright Eyes exclusively. I want to create that band someday, but finding a violinist, a cellist, another guitarist, and all the other elements that go into creating Bright Eyes' massively harmonic sound is going to be hard. But I just found a video of Conor Oberst performing Four Winds with himself singing and playing rhythm, accompanied only by a drummer, bassist, and a pianist whose part subsumed the melodies and harmonies of the many other stringed instruments, and it sounded great!

JESUS

Stay Warm When the Oil Runs Out

I'm sure plenty of other people wonder about what's going to happen when all the oil runs out, wars erupt, and civilization plummets into oblivion. But this awesome jacket from Merrill will definately come in handy when all of those things happen. This novelty uses a series of inner pockets that wearers can stuff with whatever happens to be lying around, allowing them to increase and decrease its warmth instantly. This will come in handy when the dire state of the earth will only allow you to own one jacket.

Dangers of the Nerf Industry

Although Nerf needs our support in these troubled times, they are not the only solution to the energy crisis. Here is some troubling information about products made by Hasbro, Nerf's parent company.
This is a list of all the product Hasbro has been forced to recall since 1993.

One product, a child's game called Cranium Cadoo, contained excessive levels of lead in the dye used! Fucking lead! Holy Shit!

Nerf, an Alternative Energy Solution

In light of how much water the evil Supersoaker Industry wastes each year, we, as the people of the United States of America, need to find a less energy intensive hobby. That's where Nerf comes in. Yay, Nerf!

Hasbro recently announced that the 2008 line of Nerf guns will be more geared toward adults. This is a great development, because as one critic of the Nerf industry put it, "The current Nerf market is sadly geared toward children." As unintentionally funny as that statement is, it's true!
Nerf is fun for everyone, especially environmentally conscious people who would like to see us decrease our dependence on energy intensive ways of producing fun, such as the Supersoaker industry. Every environmentally conscious person should join in the fight to fights the evils of Supersoakers, and do everything they can to get them off the street. This is a planet is chaos, and we don't need any Supersoaker toting, energy wasting ingrates making it worse!

So let's invest in Nerf, a clean, green nerd sport.

A New Idea for Firefighters

Why don't firefighters invest in some really cutting edge supersoaker technology? Couldn't we make some sort of supersoaker/fire extinguisher hybrid?

Anyway, I found a website devoted to supersoakers. Actually I found A LOT of websites devoted to supersoakers. I thought, wow, supersoakers are pretty fucking cool. Then I realized, wait, holy shit, we are wasting SO MUCH WATER on fucking supersoakers! We're seeing a planetary water crisis emerging, and people are running around launching massive amounts of highly pressurized water at eachother for sport! This is ludicrous.

STOP SUPPORTING THE SUPERSOAKER INDUSTRY

The Waist to Hip Ratio

I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!

Everyone knows that men prefer women with curves. But this is not just some speculation or truism, this is an established fact! What is casually called the Ass to Waist ratio is in the behavioral sciences referred to as the Waist to Hip Ratio. The ideal ratio is 7:10. In other words, the ideal waist is 7/10 the size of the ideal hips. This shows that absolute ass size doesn't matter; relative ass size is what counts.

Here is proof.

Crocodiles, Poofters of the Animal Kingdom

This video says in so many clips and images what I cannot. But I will anyway. It shows crocodiles getting OWNED by tigers, baboons, lions, zebras, bears, and sharks.

This leads me to one conclusion: crocodiles suck at fighting!

Now here's a video that's really worthwhile. A jaguar OWNS an anaconda, and then just leaves it dead on the jungle floor for a bunch of its leopard friends to eat.
