So you probably already saw the slinky cat that loves to slide down the stairs. Well, how about a human dressed in clothes that resemble a slinky? Now that’s funny! [via]

Seriously, where do I get an outfit like this? This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

OMG: “Joe the plumber” is a real person?!

If you watched the debates tonight (Wednesday night), you will have heard both candidates reference somebody named “Joe the plumber”. I didn’t think much of it except that I thought it was a stupid replacement for the term “Joe six-pack” which Sarah Palin has been throwing around. But I just realized that this “Joe the plumber” is in fact a real person that both the candidates are referring to!

Katie Couric had a phone interview with the real Joe, known as Joseph Wurzelbacher, from Holland, Ohio and asked him how he feels about his recent 15 minutes of fame. Wow.
