One Tree Hill: Dog eats Dan’s heart

July 3, 2009 @ 1:56 pm

I won’t lie, I used to actively watch One Tree Hill, up until maybe like 4th season when it got completely ridiculous. Clarence shared this video above (from OTH season 6, episode 18) where Dan’s new heart gets eaten by a dog. I thought the show might have reached its peak of unpredictability in season 4, but it seems like they just keep raising the bar…

Although it looks like a joke, this Chia Obama is real and you can buy it now for just under $19.

I really wonder if this is a hot seller…

Unknown life form in the sewers

June 30, 2009 @ 5:30 pm

This is supposedly video from a sewer cam (or pipe cam) that shows some sort of moving organism attached to the seams in the pipe. Freaky!!!

UPDATE: Gizmodo confirms that this life form is indeed real. Dr. Timothy S. Wood, an expert on freshwater bryozoa and an officer with the International Bryozoology Association says:

Thanks for the video – I had not see it before. No, these are not bryozoans! They are clumps of annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids (Naididae, probably genus Tubifex). Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. In the photo they have apparently entered a pipeline somehow, and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other. The contractions you see are the result of a single worm contracting and then stimulating all the others to do the same almost simultaneously, so it looks like a single big muscle contracting. Interesting video.

And then Gizmodo posted this video of the worms in a lab. Gross.

Boy lies in clear box with 125 spiders

This is like my worst nightmare…and this kid thinks it’s fun!

Tom Buchanan of Australia laid in a clear perspex box and had 125 Golden Orb Spiders put onto his body for 55 seconds during the ‘Australia: Guinness World Records’ TV show in Sydney, New South Wales on 27 August 2005. GROSS.
