[OSF] Effects of Drugs on Spider's Webs
A great study about the effects of various drugs (caffeine, marijuana, crack, and more) on spiders and their spiderwebs.
Seriously though, in the 60's there was a study on the effects of various drugs on a spider's web making abilities. It's pretty interesting...read about it on [CaffeineWeb]
Best. Thesis. Ever.
So you're sitting there playing pong on your Atari 2600 thinking about how much the controller sucks. You could move up to a more modern console, or you could think outside the box as Jennifer from New York University did.
For her demo, Chowdhury made a video of herself and a partner playing Pong. He stands behind her with his hands near her shoulders, and she reaches back toward his hips. When he touches her left breast, the paddle moves to the left. The sensor in the right bra cup moves the Pong paddle to the right.
Let me break this down...
Playstation 3 wireless controller < Boobs
Xbox 360 wireless controller < Boobs
Wii motion sensoring controller < Boobs
That's how I'd score it anyway.

Drunk Redneck Women Falling Down
I was going to save this and post it with a "drunk people" collection, but this is great by itself and I just couldn't wait. There's nothing funnier than a drunk person doing a faceplant, and this video has a LOT of those.

What's the greatest and best thing on the internet today you ask? Well that would be this advertisment.

Bob Dylan is a genius
Here's a fact you may not know, Bob Dylan wrote every hit song in the past 35 years. Don't believe me? Here's the proof.
I just keep thinking about Dylan sitting there in '66 pickin' rump shaker on his old 6 string.

Remembering Chris Farley
I was just browsing around youtube this morning and came across some old Chris Farley clips. It's hard to believe it will be 10 years since he died in December. I can honestly say that he's by far the best physical comedian I've ever seen. Here's a few clips to bring back some memories.
Matt Foley Clips
Some Dancing Clips
Impressions
Fat guy in a little coat
Outtakes
And one I hadn't seen before playing Christian Laettner in the best play that ever was.
Japanese Kid's Beer Commercial (Kodomo no nomimono)
No idea what they're saying here, but this is weird enough anyway. Apparently this is fake beer in Japan that's marketing specifically for kids. They've been out for a few years. Bottles, cans, and six packs...wine, champagne, and cocktails. Must be fun to be a kid in Japan! Anyway watch the video and read the link, there's some great pictures there.

Barney featuring Elmo - Money Maker (Pharrell featuring Ludacris)
NSFW: Language
From the "ridiculous Barney music video remix" files comes Money Maker...featuring Elmo. A lot of the Barney remixes are pretty crappy, they just throw together clips. This, like the Tupac one, is really well thought out.

[OSF] New Black Sheep video - Whodat?
Even though this is a new track, I put it under Old School Friday because Black Sheep is one of the dopest old school crews still in the game (kinda...see below). Dres is one of my favorite rappers, and it's great to see him back with the old crew. Great track.
Apparently Mr Lawnge has gone solo - but did (according to Dres) help out with the new project. Production guests include Bean 1, VItamin D, Show Biz, Kwame, and Lord Finesse. In the interview below (from 3/06), Dres says he's hoping to re-establish the group with Lawnge (now spelled Long). At least Dres is still kickin it with the Native Tounges crew, touring with De La Soul.

[OSF] Peanut Butter and Bananas - Delicious Sandwich...Atheist's Nightmare Foods?
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm all for being open minded to religion, and actively exploring my personal spirituality. But man, some arguments (both for and against the concepts) are just ... oh, what's the word I want here ... well, nuts. Here's two old school (in Internet lifetimes) examples from the "for" category.
Bananas: with Kirk Cameron
Peanut Butter: with Chuck Missler (who?)
Kirk Cameron "Debunked" (interesting):

[OSF] Kick-Ass Weng Weng Rap
Who's Weng Weng (pronounced Wang Wang), you ask? He's the baddest 2'9" B-movie star you never heard of...until now. According to Boing Boing referencing trashvideo he began his movie career doing underground adult films...nice. Also, he was in a video ["MoonBoy From Another Planet" in which he played a lovable three foot alien who befriends a poor Filipino boy] whos filmmaker sued Steven Spielberg for ripping off "E.T.". Also, he's a Guiness World Record holder (shortest adult actor in a leading role).
The best part is, the rap is actually really good. Great lyrics.
Classic:
Put your hands low down where he can see 'em
Then put 'em up high
He's a tiny human being
Guaranteein security to Philipino citizens,
It's all the same thing to Weng Weng
Guilty, innocent
He got his own style, he's got a cute little smile
In fact one time he even got picked up by a pedophile
But kill that
He's skilled at the art of attack
He got a razorblade hat,
a little gat,
and a rocketpack
He doesn't like booze so never pour him a shot of scotch
Just give him a coke and you won't get a pop in the crotch
His movies you love to watch,
he knows that they all sweet
WENG WENG IS DOIN HIS THANG THANG UNDER THREE FEET
You want fight scenes? SURE!

More 300 Trailer Re-Cuts
So, a week or two or three ago (shut up, measuring time is stupid) I posted the 300 Anchorman clip. Little did I know just how many 300 trailer re-cuts there were. I still think the Anchorman one is the best - but I'll admit I haven't watched 1/5 of the ones out there.
Here's two I did watch, because these movies are both awesome:
Army of Darkness
The Sandlot

UFOPORNO! Yes...Alien Porn. Kinda.
Apparently, this is from a Finnish sketch comedy show named "Ranuan Kummit". Possibly NSFW, assuming you're not allowed to watch clothed dancing alien softcore porn while a narrator hollers in Finnish.

Saltwater into fire...and a cure for cancer?
So this guy from Erie came up with this idea at like 3 in the morning for curing cancer using radio waves. Genius by itself...but, when you add the fact that a by-product of this invention is that he can also set salt water on fire (thus making it combustible enough to be a fuel source)...well, I'll let the video blow your mind for me. It's too early to be witty.

Microsoft Surface
Now this is what I'm talking about. In 5 years we're all going to have these in our homes and it will make life so much simpler. Can you imagine your coffee table acting as a media server, picture and movie viewer, web browser and bluetooth/usb port all in one? That and a slick ass touch interface to interact with all your information.
