If you grew up playing with Legos, while also playing some of the older arcade classics then this video will be up your alley. I think my particular favorite was the Pac-Man portion. The video is quite impressive, and I can’t imagine how long it actually took to create all those different montages.

Enjoy.

There have been some embarrassing moments in politics. There’s of course, the famous George Bush Sr. moment when he vomited on the Prime Minister of Japan. Even that incident can’t compare to what happened to Zambian president, Rupiah Banda.

Imagine you’re speaking to journalists during a news conference. You’re trying to concentrate and keep your game face on. All of a sudden, a stream of urine descends from a tree landing on you. Just picturing that leaves me embarrassed, but it actually happened to President Banda. A monkey who makes its home on Banda’s residence, let loose its urine from the tree and landed directly on the president.

So, what happened after that. Did guards swarm in, knock the president out of the way and take the monkey down?

No, in fact Banda played it off about as smoothly as possible. He yelled, “You (monkey) have urinated on my jacket,” and the playfully added, “Perhaps these are blessings”

That’s pretty impressive, to have monkey urine sprayed on you and play it cool like that. Apparently, there’s all kinds of wildlife trekking around President Banda’s state home. Can you imagine deer, and turkey running around the White House?

Why is it that all the cool stuff releases in Japan? That’s all I could think of while reading this story about horror story laden toilet paper.

A Japanese company has gotten the bright idea to release toilet paper that will have a horror story printed on it. So, as you roll out the toilet paper, more of the story is available to read.

The first story that will appear on the rolls of toilet paper, is the novella written by Koji Suzuki. Who coincidentally wrote the horror story, “Ring”, which was widely popular in Japan. Before making its way to Hollywood for a movie make over.

Each roll will cost $2.20, and there’s no word yet if there will be an import option. Who knows, maybe you’ll be able to read some Agatha Christie when dealing with constipation in the future.

It’s times like these that the people who go out for lunch look pretty smart. The fridge is a unique aspect to office life. People store food in it, often forgetting that anything is in there. Also, the office fridge isn’t anyone’s ‘responsibility’. Both of these concepts can lead to serious mess contaminating the office fridge. Just take this story for example

In San Jose, California an office had to be evacuated due to someone cleaning out a moldy, and dirty refrigerator. The fire department, and hazmat team had to enter the office to take care of the situation.

What happened is that an office worker decided to clean out the fridge, that had become really bad off. Apparently, the chemicals that were used to clean up the mess fused with the mold and created an odor that caused the office to be nauseas. A total of 28 people had to be treated for nausea, and 7 people went to the hospital.

Let this be a lesson to make fridge upkeep a team project. That way you hopefully won’t have to deal with vomit inducing mold in the future.

If you’ve ever read up on the Library of Congress, then you know the history that the historical archive holds. Some of the pieces of literature, and recordings that have made our country what it is today is housed inside its hallowed walls. Matt Raymond, of the Library of Congress reports on his blog that the LOC looks to be tearing those walls down.

Meaning, that the LOC now has its own YouTube channel. At present, there are 70 videos up. The topics vary from the first known moving image, to boxing cats, and so on. In fact, both of those videos are below for your viewing pleasure. And below those is a link to the LOC’s YouTube Channel.

If you’ve been keeping up with the story of the ‘Sham-Wow Guy’, a.k.a Vince Offer Shlomi then you should know that its taken an interesting turn. For those who aren’t quite up on the story, I’ll start at the beginning…

If you’ve ever been up at late hours of the evening, you’ve undoubtedly seen the Sham-Wow or Slap-Chop infomercials. They feature an infomercial icon named, Vince Offer Shlomi. No joking, that’s his full name. Most know him because he’s one of the most annoying personalities to ever grace television.

So, why am I writing about him? It was reported earlier this week that Shlomi had been arrested. The official charge was, felony battery, because of a confrontation with a prostitute. According to Shlomi, he had propositioned her earlier that night and she accepted. They went back to his hotel room, where he laid the money down. The drama started, when they started to kiss. The prostitute, Sasha Harris, apparently bit Shlomi’s tongue and wouldn’t let go. That’s when Shlomi began punching Harris in the face so she would release her bite.

You’d think the story ends there, but it’s just the beginning. Apparently, this whole fiasco could be the doing of the ‘Church of Scientology’. Shlomi was a member of the Church of Scientology, when he began production of his movie, The Underground Comedy Movie. Yes, that film. The Church was upset by the film, and was looking to take him to court. Not just any court, but the court of Scientology. In an attempt to kick him out. Eventually, the charges were dropped. However, later on Shlomi would then bring about his own charges. He was wanting to expose the church for its cruel practices, and what not.

God, that’s the weirdest story I’ve had to type out.

So, was Shlomi’s incident just a typical, ‘hooker gone wrong’ tale, or was the Church of Scientology behind it all? Either way, it’s going to be along time before he annoys you at 2 in the morning.
