It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 33 - He's Baaaaack!

How many of you remember this dog from back in September?  He balanced 36 treats on his nose, and I was sure he had me beat on Jenga.

Well the pooch is back with a whole new balancing act.  It seems the earlier video was just his warm up.  This time he's not holding back.  He does it upside down, while lying on his back!

What a Hot Mess: Monopoly Game Turns Deadly

OMG, if I was to name the number of times I played this game and wanted to rob my opponent, you'd think I was the 1%.  LOL. 

I remember this game being so competitive when I played it with my sister, friends or family.  We'd scream and yell at each other, because we wanted certain properties and couldn't get them.  All I wanted was the Railroads dammit!  And I didn't want to pass 'Go" and head straight to jail!

But not for Laura Chavez, she was sent to the slammer last Wednesday night for stabbing her boyfriend, Clyde "Butch" Smith with a kitchen knife.   She told the cops, "Yes, I fucked him up."  LOL. What a hot mess!

The woman's grandson who was playing with Chavez before the incident happened, told the officers that his grandmother had started arguing with Smith, because she felt "he was cheating at Monopoly."  The boy didn't witness the stabbing, because he was in bed.

But if you're a fan of the game, you would know that said cheating would likely involve either a) collecting $200 before passing “Go”; b) nipping some gold $100 bills from the bank; or c) landing on Baltic Avenue, but palming the Boardwalk property card.

And you'd think this was the only incident.  Hell No.  This has happened to other people.  According to following article:

This Monopoly-inspired attack is not the first incident of board game rage. In September, a Florida man allegedly choked his wife over a game of Yahtzee, and in 2009 a Michigan man went to jail for assaulting his Monopoly foe when she would not give up Park Place and the Boardwalk.

Must Watch: Go Beyond the Cover

What an absolutely amazing video.  I would have never thought this guy was who he was until I saw the makeup artists at work.  I want to say so much about this video, but can't because I want my readers to see it before making their own judgement.  Goes to say, "How do you judge a book by it's own cover?" Right?  Oh, and the music is great too!

By The Year 2050...

click on map to enlarge

As I read up and share with you information about our world population, I've never really discussed overpopulation.  There's no doubt about it, we're growing at an alarming rate, and this plays a huge part on our ecosystem - the statistics and numbers are astonishing.  Earlier, we calculated what number we were in the world's population when we were born, we've looked at statistics as if the world were a village of 100 people, and we've looked at a video explaining how we got big so fast.

With the 7 billionth person born, check out Lapham's Quarterly, A magazine of history and ideas.  On their "Future" issue, they laid out a map (above) indicating the "very real" changes the Earth will undergo by the year 2050.  It's pretty amazing.  Check out these very real changes by clicking on the map.

The Joys of Being a Parent: Father & Daughter Dance

I always tell Ryan that whenever we get married, there are several songs and performances I want us to do during the ceremony and/or reception.  And seeing this, just made my day even brighter.  

A father and daughter share a dance medley together and it's absolutely fantastic.  This is definitely one of the joys of being a parent.

Quoted - Kellan Lutz on Gay Rumors and His Love For Gay Men

“I don’t Google myself, but I’ve heard that people think I’m gay…. I don’t really go after girls. Most of the girlfriends I’ve had have come after me. So it’s really funny when girls get offended because I don’t hit on them. [They] transform their insecurity into, ‘Oh, that makes sense, because I heard you’re into guys and have a boyfriend.’ I’m like, ‘Seriously? That’s your tactic to get me to like you?’ There will always be rumors, but I know who I am…. Gay men are the best. I love them. When I meet gay fans out and about, they’re so great to talk to – and I’m big on hugging, because I’m from the Midwest. They’re just so energetic and loving. I’m proud to have those fans, and their support means a lot to me. I don’t want just girls coming to my movies, I want guys to come too.” - Kellan Lutz in a recent Advocate interview

Must Watch - Must Read: Would You Die For The One You Love?

How do you do turn that cheesy "Hero" song by Enrique Iglesias into something amazing? 

You make an emotionally, poignant video using sign language, an adorable dorky kid, a beautiful young girl, and tears, lots and lots of tears.

This video produced by Sean Berdy from ABC's "Switched at Birth" is absolutely amazing. I literally cried watching this. The lyrics themselves are perfect, but showing the girl how much he loves her and how he would stand by her no matter what, was perfection.  And -- all -- done -- by sign language.  A--mazing.  It doesn't even come close to this "Hold It Against Me" version from February.

Women and The World

It was predicted that by the end of 2010,  women would likely make up the majority of the workplace. And though they've made many gains, they still deal with inequality.

The Story

Movies to Watch - Maybe? "Warm Bodies"

So would you see it? That is the question.  Honestly, it's been about Wizards and Vampires for who knows how many years now.  We have nothing but sparkly vampires (Twilight), vampires falling in love with humans (Twilight, Vampire Diaries, True Blood), Wolves, Witches, and Fairies.  When will this phenomenon stop?  Oh.  I know.

Next August, when they have Zombies taking over our hearts in the movie, "Warm Bodies".  No, Really.  Nicholas Hoult (Skins, X-men: First Class) will star alongside "I Am Number Four" co-star Teresa Palmer.

AMC already has us feeling bad for "The Walking Dead," and now we have Zombies falling in love, and talking?!?!  Really?  Zombies don't need talk, they're dead!  All they crave are brains, not love!  I don't know, the story sounds kinda interesting, but I don't know. I'm still in that, "maybe" stage.

What do you think?  Will you be watching this movie?  The movie will also star Rob Corddry, John Malkovich, Analeigh Tipton, and the very yummy Dave Franco.

For a synopsis of the movie, read after the jump...

Isn't This The Truth? What People Do At Work

OMG, True story! LOL.

Being Bullied? Just Act Less Gay, Advise Teachers

click pic for story

Seriously?  And this is why we have all the crazy bullshit we have today.  Hateful people, I swear.  And what frustrates me more is that the very people who do this, are the ones who portray themselves as good-abiding Christians.  Hmmm -  I don't know, can you act less straight?

Believe me, you can be a Christian, and not be hateful.  You can be a Christian and love.  I have many Christian friends, and not once have I seen them portray themselves as evil people. They're caring, loving and understanding, but most importantly, they know Jesus would never act that way.  Please, stop the bullying!- Peter Flores, aka Blade 7184

I Quote That - Stop It!

Seriously...

Study Finds Wine Increases The Risk of Breast Cancer

For those that don't know, breast cancer hits close to home... 1.) I've had an aunt succumb to this terrible disease 2.) I've had family die of other types of cancer, and 3.) I work for The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, specifically in the Breast Medical Oncology department.
 
It took nearly 30 years, more than 100,000 women to gather enough data to determine that those who drink more than three glasses of wine a week, increases the risk of Breast Cancer by 15%.  And the more you drink, the greater the risk.  But is it cause for alarm?  Probably not, because it's also been shown that by drinking red wine you could help reduce the risk of heart disease.  Watching the video below may help shed some light, but personally, if it was me, I wouldn't drink it.  There are other ways you can prevent heart disease, but with breast cancer, it's not so easy.

The Not So Joyous Part of Being a Parent...

Yeah.  If I would have done this in the store when I was a child, my ass would be in the meat grinder when I got home.  I know, different place, different time. But Geezus, can someone give this kid some Valium please? I would be lucky if I got Garbage Pail Kids.  Pokemon, really?

Dear FedEx...

You see, this is what happens when you piss someone off who's been waiting all damn day for a package to arrive.  I've done it before.  Wait and wait and wait and wait, and sometimes it's not even FedEx or UPS, sometimes it's the damn repair man or cable guy looking to install your new DVR.  Bastards!  We've all been there.

Glove and Boots: Zombie University

My favorite little puppets, Glove and Boots are back, and this time they're taking on Zombies!  Back in July they gave us the ten reasons why they hated facebook, and it was downright hilarious.  But since zombies are now ruling television, movie screens, children's books, and almost every form of media, they attended...

Remember these 3 fundamentals... and on judgement day, you'll be o..k...  lol.

1.  If Zombie bites you...you become zombie...
2.  Zombie will never stop trying to bite you, and
3.  If Zombie tries to bite you.  Smash his brains!

OMG Hilarious! - Placebo

Gay, Gay, Gay, and He's Hot Too!!!

C'mon, did you really think I was wrong?  Seriously?  I told you back in July what was going to happen, but did you listen? Better yet, did you read it correctly?  I even mentioned it again in August, and you have yet to respond.

Geez, c'mon, the boy is brighter and more colorful than a gay rainbow.  And yes, all you straight girls and moms, he's hot, he's gorgeous, and he's absolutely fabuloso GAY!

Chandler Massey's Days of Our Lives character, Will Horton will be coming out to his family and friends in the upcoming weeks, and I for one, am super excited!  I love him!

Now, go ahead and put him together with the already openly gay, Sonny!  Why waste our time?

Isn't This The Truth? Alt-Tab

LOL, isn't this the truth?  Your supervisor comes in, and all of sudden you can't think of what to do in order to hide your pics of Steven, Francisco, and Jessy, so you get busted.  What an embarrassing situation to be in, but it happens way too often.  But what if you knew about the "Alt-Tab"?  

Yep, you can hit the "Alt" and "Tab" keys alternatively on your keyboard and switch between screens in less than a millisecond.  Fascinating, isn't it?  Well, I've known since the dawn of time. LOL.  But for those who didn't know, try it.  

This comic is the perfect representation of being caught by not using your Alt-Tab correctly. LOL

Must Watch: Filling Up

Yesterday I posted this awesome calculator to figure out what number we were in the world's population, and I was the 3,796,716,509th person born on the day of my birthday.  

Today I'm posting an incredible video by NPR that indicates 1000 years ago there was only 1/3 of a billion people in the world.  They use this by showing glasses with water "dripping in" as people are born, and water "dropping out" as people die.

With the help of better medicine and better agriculture, people are living longer, and as babies are being born, they grow up and have babies of their own.  In the span of 200 years the world population grew by 6 billion people, absolutely astounding.

From YouTube description:

It was just over two centuries ago that the global population was 1 billion — in 1804. But better medicine and improved agriculture resulted in higher life expectancy for children, dramatically increasing the world population, especially in the West.

As higher standards of living and better health care are reaching more parts of the world, the rates of fertility — and population growth — have started to slow down, though the population will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.

U.N. forecasts suggest the world population could hit a peak of 10.1 billion by 2100 before beginning to decline. But exact numbers are hard to come by — just small variations in fertility rates could mean a population of 15 billion by the end of the century.

Where Should You Post Your Status?

Hahaha, this is great.  So do you want people to see your status?  If the answer is no, then post your status on Google Plus. LOL.  If the answer is yes,  are you in a bar?  If you're not in a bar, are you at a business establishment? If you're not at a business, is it personal?  

As the questions keep coming, the infographic will suggest where you should place your status.

If The World Were A Village of 100 People: Issue No. 9 - HIV

What if the world were a village of 100 people?  Using statistics based on the spread of the population in the world, Toby Ng Design created this poster as another way of looking at how our world is today.  

There are 11 more posters I will share with you in the coming weeks; This is the 9th of 20.  

If you missed any of the previous issues, click here.

Absolutely crazy!  Absolutely hilarious!  Ahhh, breaking the barrier.  Everyone who's been in a relationship, or is about to be in one, reaches a timepoint when everything is cool with one another.

In other words, if I leave my socks on the floor, Ryan may find that offensive at first, but then I tell him, "what? we're there right?"  It shouldn't bother him any longer because we're in a relationship, and this annoying little thing, well.. it too shall pass, right?  LOL.  Well.... not exactly.

CUPPA CHEESE!!!!!! HAHA i cant stop laughing

When I Was Born I Was The 3,796,716,509th Person Alive On Earth

And I'm the 77,996,188,643rd person to have lived since history began...

It's crazy how fast this earth has populated.  In the year 1500, the world population was an estimated 500 million.  In a few weeks we will be 7 billion!  How the hell did this happen?

Must Watch: The Smashing Pumpkins

Halloween is over and it's time to get rid of your pumpkins.  So what do you do with them????   Oh, I know, how 'bout smashing them?

That's obviously the way Devin Graham wanted to do it.  He and a group of friends from his production company smashed a few pumpkins in slow motion using a Red Epic camera.  What transpired was this pretty cool video Smashing Pumpkins.

Must Watch: I Ate All My Kids' Halloween Candy

Jimmy Kimmel offered a challenge to parents watching his Monday night show, to pretend they ate all their kids candy and post it on YouTube.  What occurred was an onslaught of crying.  It was absolutely hilarious, but oh so sad.  Some of these kids were devastated beyond belief.  It's a definite must watch, it will make you laugh your ass off.

The best part is at the very end when the parents tell their two boys they ate their Halloween candy the previous night and the boy in the red pajamas says, "what the heck?" they proceed to ask, "don't you guys think you ate enough candy last night" and the boy responds, "no, I only had like one bite of candy are you serious?"

OMG, that kid was absolutely hilarious.  You must watch this...

Politics 101: United Bases of America

Is the United States worried it will no longer be the World's Superpower?  Not anytime soon, and this incredible infographic provided by the National Post, says otherwise.  It's actually quite fascinating.

Despite the pending troop withdrawals in Iraq and those in Afghanistan between now and 2014, the United States remains a superpower on a scale not seen since the days of the Caesars. With this in mind, the National Post’s Richard Johnson takes a look at the scale of America’s forces.

Do You Take This Text To Be Your Lawfully Wedded Text?

LOL, I bet the groom was telling himself, "WTF! What the hell did I get myself into?"  During the wedding ceremony, the bride receives a text and pulls it out of her bra as she is standing by her soon to be husband.  What makes it hilarious is the groom's reaction to the whole thing.

 

From the YouTube description:

This is part of a wedding video I shot in August 2008 at the Mission Beach Women's Club in San Diego, CA. It was otherwise perfectly normal except for this one funny clip of the bride TEXTING just after her dad walked her down the isle! At one point, I noticed her doing it through my lens and I had to pull away form the camera to make certain I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. The minister was busy reading his opening comments and her back was to everyone in attendance. I was the only one to see her. Her dad glanced over at her and then saw me doing a double take and began to laugh out loud! You can see him doing it in the clip. Totally funny!
