Lunar Eclipse time lapse (February 20, 2008)

Friday, February 29th, 2008

This is so far the best video I’ve seen of the Lunar Eclipse that took place February 20, 2008.
The video was made by Pete Herron.
Previously on Doobybrain.com: video of Lunar Eclipse on August 28, 2007.

If Narwhals are real, why can’t unicorns be real too?

Friday, February 29th, 2008

You know, I never thought about that question until now. But when you picture a Narwhal, the idea of a unicorn existing doesn’t seem too far-fetched.

Narwhals, a species of whale that lives in the Arctic oceans, are seen in nature with horns/tusks growing out of their head. The exact use of the tusk is up [...]

The comments on the video are pretty amusing to read through.

Filipino inmates dance to Soulja Boy and MC Hammer

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Those dancing inmates in the Philippines are at it again. This time, they dance to the ever-popular “Crank That” by Soulja Boy. [via]
It’s beginning to look like these guys enjoy dancing in jail. I’d love to know the specific reason why each of them is in there. And please, somebody tell me why there’s always [...]

Juggernaut in Mushroom Kingdom

The absurdity of this video is overwhelming! ROFL.
Thanks Joel!

Good drivers just drive

Friday, February 29th, 2008

This is pretty old now (this ad ran in first quarter of 2006), but I just came across it randomly while looking at car videos on Metacafe.

This ad campaign in South Australia urges people on the road to simply concentrate on their driving. The ad attempts to show the potentially devastating effects of not being [...]

Acting homeless on America’s Next Top Model

Friday, February 29th, 2008

WTF.
The most recent aired episode of America’s Next Top Model (February 27, 2008) had the contestants model as homeless people.
Again, WTF.
I hate people who pretend to be homeless, and in doing so think that they are taking part in a great social experiment (see: TYRA BANKS).
Here’s Tyra the drama queen on her experience as a [...]

Benjamin Franklin is That Guy

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Here’s a great T-shirt from Streeter Seidell which shows Benjamin Franklin popping up from behind Mount Rushmore…holding up bunny ears!
It’s available at Busted Tees for $17.99.
On a somewhat related note, the Ask Me About Dinosaurs tee is pretty fantastic.

Chris Jordan: Running the numbers in 2008

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Chris Jordan, the celebrated artist that creates large-scale portraits of America using various consumer goods has released two new works for 2008.
The two new representations of American waste are “Plastic Cups” and “Barbie Dolls”.
“Plastic Cups” is 60×90″ and depicts one million plastic cups (the number used on airline flights in the US every six hours).

“Plastic [...]

Water balloon launcher looks fun and a bit dangerous

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I was trying to find a video of the balloon tank that I posted, but what I ended up watching instead was this video of a water balloon launcher/cannon/whatever.
There’s a company that’s selling a version of this and calling it the Balloon Bazooka.

The water balloon launcher uses compressed air to shoot water balloons up to [...]
