Best. Invention. Ever.

This has got to be the best invention I have ever seen.

Okay, so let me just warn you that any posts from this date forward may be officially Not Safe For Work (NSFW). But then again, if you have time to be surfing the web at work, you probably need to be replaced, made redundant, or fired anyway.

Here’s a little ditty that I had heard about, but hadn’t seen. Apparently this asshole was asking people to pray for rain during Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention. I’m sure people actually did pray for rain, but we know now that no rain was forthcoming. I guess that means it’s okay to vote for Barack after all.

This guy took a big gamble in asking for rain and if it had rained, I’m sure it would have paid big dividends. But since it didn’t rain, I’m equally sure he’s praying for this little video to be swept under the rug.

How long can you survive in space?

How long could you survive in the vacuum of space?

A minute and 29 seconds isn’t bad. It’s better than listening to Vogon poetry anyway.

Random fun links

1. - It looks like someone in Dyersburg, TN hasn’t been listening to Bob Barker. Apparently they have a stray donkey problem. It’s stuff like this that makes it interesting to live in Tennessee. No owner has come forward to claim the donkey, so if you live in the Dyersburg area, hey, free donkey.

2. - A sushi wedding cake. Is that cilantro? Ew!

3. - Are unicorns in the Bible? Apparently only in the King James Version, every other translation seems to refer to them as wild oxen. But that doesn’t stop the idiots at Answers in Genesis from rambling on at length about the subject.

4. - It looks like Jon Lajoie has a new friend.

New candidate to support

Pending a new amendment to the constitution to lower the age limit for the president, I think I’ve found a new candidate to vote for… Paris Hilton! Check out this video… ’cause it’s hot.

Readability

I decided to do a readability test on my blog. I found out that my blog is incredibly easy to read. So easy that a fourth or fifth grader could read it. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad… er, I mean, commendable or inauspicious.
