Zero-G Kittie

How would a cat act in zero gravity? Thanks to my stumbling, I now know:

A Nod To Futurama

Though some swear up and down on the brilliance of the Simpsons, I personally have never found much interest in their bland adventures and weak humor (in a sense, it has gone the way of Garfield). In contrast, I have long been a fan of Futurama, the, in my opinion, far more clever series created by Matt Groening and David X. Cohen.

Unfortunately, it was canceled due to apparent low ratings/interest. However, that has not stopped the creation of an upcoming movie, Bender's Big Score. I'm simply praying that it doesn't turn out to be what the Simpsons Movie was (was I the only one who didn't like it?).



Regardless of how it goes, I will always regard Futurama as the better of Matt Groening's creations.

Mannequin Hand Towels

Courtesy of this website, I have stumbled across the hilarious video embedded below. It's amusing that the guys always went for the woman's chest, and I think that the final driers out of both the males and females (the guy who offers a kiss of farewell and the girl who isn't shy to grab) would get along well together.

The "Talking" Cats

The below two videos are taken from an Amazing Planet article that I stumbled across. Amusing AND cute. Beat that.

Mathemagics

Nearly as stunning as The Boy With the Incredible Brain is the "lightening calculations" of Arthur Benjamin, so-called Mathemagician.

The Chimp Challenge

Apparently, chimpanzees have a photographic memory of sorts. Once a chimpanzee was taught to touch numbers on a screen in ascending order, they were able to recall the locations of numbers momentarily flashed with far more accuracy than humans. You just try to perform on par with the chimp in the video embedded below.



Frankly, it's somewhat embarrassing. Oh, well. Let's see a chimp write a Blogger article. Ha!

The Rise of Hackers

Embedded below is a fun and fascinating documentary on the origins of hacking, from phone phreaks, to computer mod-hacking, and finally to cyber-hacking.
