Inside Our Mother's Womb

A word is never uttered throughout the video, yet a commenter states... "this was really good, until the God part".

Regardless of one's view on religion or a higher being; You have to admit this video is pretty darn cool.  Whether you're a parent or not, this is how we all developed in our mother's womb; Which begs the greater question...

Why on God's green earth would a parent disown their gay child?  Better yet, a mother?

Things That Make You Go Hmmm...

So let's say the Apocalypse is nigh and you only have a spoon and lots of canned food.  Well, this short tutorial will help you open a can with a spoon.  Though, someone might want to tell Abe he's opened up a can of pears and not peaches.  Things that make you go hmmm...

Can Texas Secede From The Union?

NOOOOO!!!
 
Our wonderful Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, has threatened to secede from the Union many times, and yet this nut job doesn't know it never can.  Don't ask me why he's our Governor; I ask myself that every day.  Lol.  Actually, I'll tell you why, it's because of all the itty bitty towns you see in red to the West, North West, East and North East.  And a few in the South.

All that aside, one of my favorite YouTube Vloggers, CGPGrey is back.  He explains that by law, Texas can divide itself into 5 states, but secede?  Not so much.

Back In The Day - How To Use A Dial Telephone

You gotta love it when you can remember having a rotary dial telephone in your home.  Geez, am I really that old?  LOL.  Check out these pages from a 1950's instruction book.

What a Hot Mess: A Curling Iron Disaster

Honestly, I didn't know whether to post this under "Are People Really This Stupid" or "What a Hot Mess".  But since the poor girl had no idea she was going to burn off her hair I'm gonna say its a hot mess.

At first it's just an innocent tutorial on how to curl your hair, but things take a turn for the worse, as the girl realizes her hair is on her iron and not on her head.  What a Hot Mess!  Literally.

 

How to Tie a Bow Tie

Over the past couple of months I've been wearing a bow tie to work.  I don't have a huge collection, but of the three I do have - it's been fun.  

People are always asking me if they're clip-ons, and I'm like "Hell no, it took me for freaking ever to learn how to tie one!" LOL.

In either case, for those who are curious or want to learn - here's

2012 & The End Of The World

One of my favorite educational resources is back, CGPGrey.  And this time he talks to us about "2012 & The End Of The World."  Why do people believe in this false prophecy, and where is it derived from?

Last year he taught us about Coffee: The Greatest Addiction Ever, Daylight Saving Time, and why pennies should be abolished.  If you haven't seen the previous videos, check them out - click on these links.

How To Open A Padlock With An Aluminum Can

I'm definitely not showing you anything illegal ...  And... I'm in no way showing you how to break into a storage facility so you can take a buttload of crap with you. LOL.  Sorry, I need to protect myself. :-)

Not only, does weblog ITS Tactical give you step by step instructions on how to do it, they have an instructional video as well. You don't even have to know the combination to one of them. How snazzy is that?  All you need to do is finish drinking your beer out of an aluminum can, grab a pair of scissors, a few locks and you can practice.

No, really.  That's all you need. An aluminum can, and you'll be able to break some name brand padlocks in no time.

Death To Pennies

They cost more to make than they're worth, they waste people's time, they don't work as money, and because of inflation they're less valuable every year, making all the other problems worse.

U.S. Military bases around the world have already abolished the penny by rounding to the nearest dollar.  So why keep them?

From the same guy, CGPGrey who brought you Coffee: The Greatest Addiction Ever and Daylight Saving Time Explained, comes this great, informative video on why pennies should be abolished.  Check it out, it's pretty damn cool, and I agree with him.

Our Future Is In Their Hands - Take 4

We've been put through test after test our entire lives, yet when these kids can't figure out the difference between 2 separate crackers and 1 cracker broken in two pieces, these kids are unintelligent.  At least this is what most YouTube comments are indicating.  I, personally don't think this makes them stupid or ignorant.   We all said stupid things when we were kids - WE WERE KIDS!

Then again... our future is in their hands...

You Tube Comments:

• Good, so we can continue to pay women less as long as we spread the money out a little bit.

• This is an example of basic developmental milestones. Every single person commenting on and watching this video has gone through the same process and at one point would have had the same answers. It's not a question of intelligence. What is a question of intelligence is how there are so many people here who do not understand this basic concept.

Coffee: The Greatest Addiction Ever

Caffeine is an insecticide that actually kills or paralyzes bugs munching on it's tree.  It doesn't kill us, because we would need about 90 cups of coffee to equal the same amount of pain the buggies endure, and even then we pee it out constantly, so the chances of us dying from it are slim to none.

This is pretty cool video - it's only 4 minutes so I recommend watching it. Where does Caffeine come from?  Who drinks it the most?  How is it grown?  These are just a few of the questions the video answers for you.

How Do You Like Your Eggs?

Wow, yesterday I introduced you to the Six Degrees of Steak Doneness, and now I bring you this, The Egg Chart!  The next time you're sitting at your local Denny's or Ihop, make sure the waiter understands how you like your eggs.  And if he still doesn't get it, print this out, take it with you, and pull out your huevos!  I'm sure he'll understand then.  Hopefully he's a hottie. :-).

And if you wish to see the degrees of doneness for your eggs, I found this useful guide online as well.

The Six Degrees of Steak Doneness

Ever go to a restaurant, order a steak, and you're never exactly sure how it's cooked, or wonder how much blood you'll find dripping off your plate?

Well... here's the chart of all cooking charts.  You can now determine how precise your steak is cooked the next time you visit your local Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, or Texas Roadhouse.  A little on the bloody side or the burnt side, you decide.  

I know how to cook steaks, because of my countless years in the restaurant business, but for most folks, they have no idea.  So print this out, take it with you, and the next time you learn your steak wasn't done to perfection, pull out your meat and show it to your waiter - hopefully he's hot. :-)
