The College Humor Prank War

The guys over at COLLEGE HUMOR have had a lot of fun at each others’ expense over the years by pranking each other.

To date, there have been seven classic pranks, each one escalating in over-the-topness from the previous one.   Let’s take a look at where it started, and where it has led to so far.  Some things that you can take from the following videos are:

  • having a sense of humor is required if you work for a website called College Humor
  • don’t get into a prank war with people who are funnier and more creative than you are, who also have a seemingly unlimited amount of money and friends to assist them

Why Lefties Survive in a Right-Handed World

National Geographic has an article with a theory about lefties-vs-righties, entitled LEFTIES SURVIVE (BARELY) DUE TO ELEMENT OF SURPRISE? 

Left-handed people have disadvantages.  Over the years, lefties are more apt to suffer from schizophrenia, epilepsy, autism, or have learning disabilities.  They are more likely to have a serious accident, as most of the world is designed around righties.  Male lefties are also shorter, on average.

However, scientists have determined that lefties carry with them the ability to throw the other 90% of the world off their guard.  This is why left-handed people are often more successful in sports competition versus the more common right-handed folks.  Baseball pitchers, batters, tennis players, boxers – the left-handed ones are often prized and in high-demand. 

They also say that left-handed men earn more than right-handed men, on average.  Lefties also have better coordination, and often have IQs higher than 131.

Why Fat Women Are Better

The guy-oriented cable channel SPIKE TV has put out their A-to-Z GUIDE FOR CHASING PLUS-SIZED CHICKS, and why the larger ladies are worth having.  Yup, all 26 letters are accounted for.  I’ve selected a few here to entice you – check the link for the full alphabet.

B is for Business Class
When you date a big girl, your days of flying coach are over.

E is for Easier
Chances are, the reason why you’re chasing larger chicks is because it’s usually easier to snag one, and they are oh-so-grateful.

H is for Hot Friend
Girls with a few extra pounds almost always have hot female friends.

K is for King-Sized Bed
A larger lady needs a larger bed.

N is for Never Say Never
You have to try most things at least once, so don’t knock being with a big girl until you’ve tried it, and don’t hate on guys that do.

Q is for Quantity over Quality
It’s like a buffet. The quality of food is terrible, but you can eat as much as you like and leave very satisfied.

Movie Review

Movie Review: Watchmen

Rated R for violence, blood and gore (albeit slightly cartoony), adult situations, sex, nudity, language.  And a few shots of giant blue penii.

Rating: C

First, a disclaimer:  I haven’t read the famed Watchmen comic.  The little I knew of the storyline going in was what I had read or seen in pre-movie promotional material.  I had enough of the backstory to understand what the film was going to be about, and had a general inkling of the film style that was going to be presented.  In other words, I did not go into the film a fan by any stretch of the imagination.  But I was interested.

Michael Jackson Auction Update

Remember the post we had a while ago about the upcoming MICHAEL JACKSON AUCTION?

The AP is reporting that maybe things aren’t exactly as rosy as they appear, and the auction may not happen after all, as Michael Jackson’s production company, MJJ Productions, is suing Julien’s Auction House.

The lawsuit claims that while they did ask the auction company to remove all those items that appear in the auction catalog from the Neverland Ranch, but claims that they did not give blanket authorization to sell the items without Michael Jackson’s permission on each one.

Some of the “priceless and irreplaceable” items were requested to be returned, which the auction company did.  No word yet on exactly which items are being removed from the auction due to the lawsuit, or how much of the auction is going to continue as previously planned.

10 Things You Don’t Know About… Golf on TV

Jack Graham at Golf Digest wrote a list of 10 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT GOLF ON TV back in 2004. I’m sure most of these are still valid.  Here are a few of the items that were raised – go read the article for the others.

  • Only half the shots you see are actually live.
    The commentators won’t tell you which shots are live and which are taped, and taped shots that are called by on-course announcers have the play-by-play done live on-air while the tape is played, by memory.
  • We know the hole truth.
    Some hole locations will work better for TV while others are more difficult to work with.  The TV producers will try to suggest to the tour officials which positions would be better suited for a televised schedule, and hopefully the course decisions will take those suggestions into account when planing hole locations.
  • We fiddle with the leader board.�
    Big names playing in the tournament go to the top of the chart, for more visibility.
  • You’ll learn much more if you watch on a weekday.
    During the week, announcers have more time to talk as the tournament’s storylines haven’t been developed yet.
  • Want to get on TV?  It’s easy.�
    All TV producers want is an eye-catching gallery.  Cute babies always work, as does hovering around the player’s wives or girlfriends.
  • We miss plenty of shots, but none of Tiger’s.
    Because everyone wants to watch Tiger.

Video Fun: Wedding Reception Dances

We’ve all been to interesting weddings.

Some I’ve attended were memorable due to the groomsmen (they were all in a band together), the catering decorations (the official photographer was taking pictures of all the wedding guests licking the ice sculpture over the course of the evening), or the bride sharing with everyone about the types of tranquilizers she was on that day.  I even have a tale to tell about what songs NOT to play at a wedding reception, but that’s a different story for a different day.

For now, take a gander at what these wedding receptions were like.  They all seem like fun, don’t they?

I think what we can take away from this is that what you think is an original idea may already have been done. So if you’re thinking of doing a fun dance at the reception, try to be a bit original.

BRIDE AND GROOM’S FIRST DANCE is BABY GOT BACK

Where Does Belly Button Lint Come From?

Patrick Sawer in the Telegraph UK is reporting that an AUSTRIAN SCIENTIST HAS DISCOVERED WHERE BELLY BUTTON LINT COMES FROM. 

It took three years and 503 pieces of his own belly button lint, but Georg Steinhauser has determined that it’s the body hair surrounding the belly button that traps fat, sweat, dust, dead skin and clothing lint and gathers it in the navel. 

 He concluded that there were a few ways to eliminate navel lint from accumulating:

  • shave the belly hairs surrounding the navel
  • wear old clothes, as they have less lint
  • belly piercings, such as belly button rings, keep lint away from the navel
