This really has nothing to do with anything but, thanks to Wil Wheaton's post, I was reminded of the Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Film Festival. My friends and I used to go to this every year when it appeared at the Roxy Theatre in Victoria. The films were always bottom rung humour that either grossed you out to confused you. The film "I'm In Jail" (or whatever the title was) is a film that leaves you confused.

What the heck can I say about this? Those people in the Flondon Quadrant spend too much time on Youtube.Technorati Tags: star wars, john williams, george lucas, video
I don't know why but this makes me smile. I remember back when this song first came out it was such a hit that I actually danced to it. Several times. Danced badly. In living rooms mainly. But, for your enjoyment, let's remember together...

I received an e-mail today that encouraged that I watch this trailer and imagine what the series would have been like.
In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem. If no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire, The A Team.
I saw this video some time ago (or possibly the documentary) but thought I should share it again as it is one of the more heartwarming things I have ever seen. If you don't know anything about Christian the Lion, he was a lion originally purchased by Australians John Rendall and Anthony 'Ace' Bourke from Harrods department store of London in 1969 and ultimately reintroduced to the wild.
Below is their first reunion after Christian had been in the wild for almost a year.
Below is a brief documentary style video about this video which became popular on YouTube.
I wanted to give you an idea of the size of the park where Christian the Lion was released.

Hey, it glows, what more do you need to know? Apparently, these types of fish were only discovered recently. They don't really produce light but their skin converts incoming like into different bands of light. Yah, I don't understand it either but check out the article.
Some days flying seems so unneccesary, doesn't it? Think of the amount of fuel burned in one day.
Perhaps a return to steam ships would work?

Found this on Youtube and have been meaning to share it with you. I love it when dogs are fed odd things, don't you?
For some reason, these videos make me a little sad for the 220 lbs puppy. Shouldn't his diet be controlled a bit more? Sure he doesn't mind now - but, yikes, what are you going to find on the front lawn (or your bedroom floor)?
I don't think much needs to be said about this.
