Unaired SNL Skit with Justin Timberlake

I have to admit that Justin Timberlake is a funny dude. I love when he hosts SNL because I know that we'll have a good laugh or two. Anyway, a skit that was shot during dress rehersal in last Saturday's season finale was dropped (not sure why!) and here it is below (if the embedding is not working, here is a link to the clip):



I think it's funny!

How to Know Who to Root for in Movies

I came across this article on Cracked.com about the tricks Hollywood uses in order to get audience and viewers root for the right guy in movies. It's a funny article, but ultimately, makes a lot of sense! Especially the parts in the article when the writer cites cases where the things that are happening in a certain movie don't even make sense, but they're there for a reason. And the reason seems to fit the overarching theme of the article, that Hollywood, just may actually be using those tricks to influence viewers' allegiances towards certain characters in the movies.

Here's a link to the article. Worth the read, for the laughs, and for the food for thought therein!

NSFW: Youtube Hitler Commentary on Osama's Death

If you haven't heard about Youtube Hitler, Bing him! His commentary on a wide range of issues, from American Idol to Politics, is priceless. So when news of Osama's demise came forth, he obviously had to chime in. Take it away, Adolf:

Obama Kills Osama

The triviality of the mundane, perfectly captured!

Palin? Look Again

That's actually actress Julianne Moore, taking on the role of Sarah Palin, in an upcoming movie about the 2008 John McCain presidential campaign, where he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate.

It's amazing how much Moore looks like Palin!

Mallard Duck Nests on Mulch in Front of Grocery Store

A Mallrd duck has found a great nesting place on top of a stack of mulch bags right outside a grocery store in Ohio. The nest probably has 10 or 12 eggs, and the store added a sign on the stack of mulch bags asking their customers to pick up mulch bags from a different area, so as not disturb the mother and her eggs.

What a cute story. You can find the story here.

And here's one of the pictures of the happy mother:

Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid Drops the Copa Del Rey

If you are Real Madrid, and you waited 18 years to win the Copa Del Rey, and you did it by defeating your arch nemesis and rivals Barcelona, how do you celebrate?

Champagne? Done.
Parade? Done.
Open roof bus? Done.
Drop the cup under the bus? Done and done!

Here, watch. It's a boring video, if you're a non-Real Madrid fan, but check out the :06 mark (actual dropping of the cup and bus running over it) and :40 mark (where you can kind of see the cup under the front wheel of the bus):

One of the Best Slides in Baseball

Deadspin.com has a video of a high school kid who does an awesomely creative slide at home plate during his baseball team's game. I am not able to embed the video on my blog, but here's a link to it.

SF to Paris in Two Minutes

I just saw this very cool time lapse video of a flight between SF and Paris. The photographer was able to set up a camera and a tripod on an Air France flight, and got really lucky by capturing an aurora borealis on the way.

Here's the video:
