a collection of interesting or funny things

Wandering across the World Wide Web, sometimes I come across things which are interesting or funny. Or I see them in real life, and they have an online counterpart.

Here are some links:

Heat Sensitive Paint. Cool! Admittedly heat-sensitive colour changing things aren't new (think about mood rings), but I didn't know anyone who had applied it in this way. It's like living art! On your walls!

Wandering on the site, I also found this. So apparently there's now a "peaceful" version of the Swiss Army Knife. Might not be nearly as useful if you're stuck in the wildnerness, though.

And this. Hehe. And apparently Halo 3 ads are very artistic.

List of the world's 50 most powerful blogs. Surprisingly (to me), LOLCATS is on the list...hehe.

On the Colbert Report last Thursday (June 19), Cookie Monster was on the show. To me, this was a weird coincidence, because not too long ago, for art class I had to make an illuminated letter, and I chose to do one with Cookie Monster because C is for Cindy and C is also for Cookie. And then even more recently, I had to write an article on Cookie Monster for our school publication.

Anyway, Colbert interrogates Cookie Monster on why he has recently started eating vegetables (GASP), placing them over cookies. And apparently Elmo, who's something like 3 1/2 years old, can drive. And, oh yeah, Cookie Monster eats Colbert's Peabody award.

This is the link to Thursday's episode on Comedy Central, but it doesn't seem to be working for me for some reason, so here's the link on CTV Broadband. Go to "Watch It Now" and find the June 19 one. You do need Flash 9, though.

I love the Comedy Central channel, as the above reference to the Colbert Report bears testament. I like to watch MadTV and standup (Just For Laughs). And now that it's summer I can actually have time to watch TV!

Two of my favourite stand-up comedians right now are Demetri Martin (I like his website) and Russell Peters. You can search them up on Youtube.

Demetri Martin has a Youtube account, and here's a good video of Russell Peters.

This game is funny. It also reminded me of Fibonacci.

I was at Indigo yesterday with a friend, and there was this hilarious book in the humour section, called The Man Book. There's some sports trivia and all of that, but some just hilarious bits.

"This book contains everything you need to know to be a man. "Everything," It will prepare you for every situation you can imagine, from the office to the bedroom. It will improve your life no matter what you're doing...whether you're in a bar, in a fight, in a wedding, in an argument, at a game, at work, or in a stranger's bed.
It's time to be a man. Read this book."

Ok, that's all for now.

It's summer so I'll be going on vacation in 2 days; I'll see you in August :)

EDIT: I forgot this. Ukeleles are cool!
