35 Years Ago This Week
According to Billboard Magazine, Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull was the Number 1 album for this week in 1972. Released in England during April of 1972, Thick as a Brick got as high as the number five spot, but when it came out in America a month later, it hit the number one spot, making it the first Jethro Tull album to achieve greater popularity in America than in England.

It's funny how ignorant and arrogant he really was. Definitely NSFW!

Stop Motion Animation Videos with Toys
There are definitely some people with way to much time on their hands.
First is a video all done with regular 6 sided dice, it must have taken them quite a while to do. Maybe some of it is CG?
Then, all LEGO's...
Then a Lite Brite...

The Kaye Effect
The Kaye Effect is a strange property of complex liquids which was first described by the British engineer Alan Kaye in 1963.
While pouring one viscous mixture of an organic liquid onto a surface, the surface suddenly spouted an upcoming jet of liquid which merged with the downgoing one.
This phenomenon has since been discovered to be common in all thixotropic liquids (liquids which thin under shear stress). Common household liquids with this property are liquid hand soaps, shampoos and non-drip paint. The effect usually goes unnoticed, however, because it seldom lasts more than about 300 milliseconds.

Ricky Jay
Ricky Jay is one of those character actors you have seen a hundred times on TV and in movies but never knew who he was. Most recently he has played the CIA handler on The Unit. I can also remember seeing him on the X files. Anyway, he is also a whiz with a deck of playing cards, not only with the slight of hand stuff, but also throwing them. Couple of vids, first dealing from the bottom of the deck (watch it all, the end is amazing), then card throwing.

1000+ Hits !!!!
OK, so my little blog has over 1000 hits now! w00t!!!
I've been searching for something to post up to commemorate this auspicious event, and this one kinda fell into my lap.
Maxim Magazines HOT 100 issue hits the news stands this Saturday, and #29 Sarah Silverman is on the cover. In honor of that, I present to you a couple of Sarah Silverman clips.
Any of you that know her comedy, know that this is completely NSFW, but way to funny.
First one is at the roast of Pamela Anderson: (Viacom removed it from YouTube due to copyright infringement) Replaced with a few minutes of stand-up. Sorry.
And this is a nice Christmas song:

SNL
Last night, NBC had a special on with the best of SNL from the 90's. These are 3 of my favorite moments from recent shows, not too sure if they are from the 90's or 2K's. The first one is an episode of Debbie Downer where no one could keep a straight face, the second is an interview of Paris Hilton by Jimmy Fallon, and the third is the famous "More Cowbell" skit.
OK, one more...
OK, one more...
