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.

What Does 2000 Calories Look Like?

So supposedly the Recommended Daily Allowance should be 2000 calories a day; Actually now it is termed "Recommended Daily Intake."  

Sure, you can calculate how much you should be consuming on a daily basis by clicking here, but I don't necessarily agree with it.  I mean, c'mon, I'm supposed to be eating 2800 calories/day?  That's not gonna happen.  I've lost 62 pounds for a reason, and it wasn't by eating 2000 calories/day, much less 2800.

On a side note, this is what 2000 calories looks like...

 

Daylight Saving Time Explained

It's that time of year again.  Time to move your clocks forward one hour.  Yep, you'll be losing an hour of sleep and an extra hour at the bar.  LOL.  How many of you actually know why we even have Daylight Saving Time?  

If you've ever been curious, this video does a great job of explaining it.  The questions is... should we even have this ridiculous time change every six months, year after year? 

From the same guy who brought you  "2012 & The End of The World," comes this excellent video on Daylight Saving Time, and quite frankly, I learned more about Daylight Saving Time than I ever thought I knew.  Hope you enjoy it.

If you live in the United States make sure to move your watches and clocks forward one hour, starting Sunday, March 10th, at 2AM. Unless you live in Arizona or Hawaii.

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.

 

Laugh of the Day: How to Write the Perfect Valentine

Look, I know for some of you it's hard to come up with the right words to say on Valentine's Day.  That's okay, it's not for everybody, but here's a sure fire way to accomplish what you need to do.

Go to a dollar store and buy two Valentine's Day cards.  Buy one with a sweet and loving statement, and the other with a generic statement on it - like Happy Valentine's Day or something.  Take this card, and transcribe the words from the "sweet and loving" card underneath the generic statement.  Ta-da!! You got words your sweetheart will remember forever! LOL.  Oh, and don't forget to write, "Bianca," "Bradley," or whatever your partner's name is - above the generic statement.

Here - I'll let the video explain it for you, because it's absolutely hilarious!

A PC full of filth!

No, get your mind out of the gutter.   

If you've ever owned a computer with a tower, or still own one, you know that the fans on these machines are magnets for dust, pet hair, and whatever else can sneak into it.  

After watching this video, you will know why it's a good idea, to give it a blow once in a while.

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.

Daylight Saving Time Explained

It's that time of year again.  Time to turn back the clocks and go back to Standard Time.  How many of you actually know why we have Daylight Saving Time?  

If you've ever been curious, this video does a great job of explaining it.  But should we even have this ridiculous time change every six months, year after year?  That is the question.

From the same guy who brought you  "Coffee: The Greatest Addiction Ever," comes this excellent video on Daylight Saving Time, and I actually learned more about it than I thought I knew.  Hope you enjoy it.

If you live in the States, make sure to turn back your watches and clocks at 2 AM Sunday, November 6. Unless you live in Arizona or Hawaii

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.

The Real Jigsaw

Jigsaw has nothing on this guy.  What Jigsaw creates in his movies is chicken poop to what Jeorg Sprave creates in reality.  Seriously,  only an insane person would spend the time and effort to create a contraption capable of slicing your head open?  Okay, so maybe he's not insane, he is a good bloke it seems like.

Nope, he's insane, and if shooting circular sawblades is not your cup of tea, he's also created a slingshot for those of you who wish to hunt vampires.

I don't know about you, but I nominate Jeorg as the next contestant on Survivor (The SAW edition).

Powdered Supplements & Cardio Myths

And you thought cardio would give you the body you wanted.  Hell to the N-to-the-O!  You are wrong, that was just a myth, and if you don't believe me, hear it from the one, and only, Mike Chang.  Who, by the way, is an extremely savvy guy.  

9 years ago, Chang was extremely overweight.  He made a lifestyle change that helped him, and hundreds of people around the world.  He has an awesome website, and the following video below is just a "piece of the cake" when it comes to being an awesome motivator, and mentor.  If you have never heard of him, or always had questions about your health and fitness, this guy can give it to you.

From his YouTube page: 

Six years ago, I was overweight and out of shape. Finally, one day I made the decision that I was going to learn how to get a ripped body and abs - - no matter what.

When I first started, I made every mistake in the book. But with the help of a few fitness mentors, I finally learned the exercise and nutrition strategies that get you into great shape.

Once I learned this stuff, I got into shape surprisingly fast. It made a huge difference in my life - - it became much easier for me to attract women, and I got much more respect from my male friends. And I just felt way better about myself every time I looked in the mirror.

If anything, at least let him share with you his experience with cardio, supplements, and powdered drinks - these don't do you any good.  

You'll be surprised - he's a really smart guy.

Keeping It Old Skool - Issue No. 6 - Tight-rolled Pants

Ahhh... talk about Keeping It Old Skool.   Tight-rolled pants were a huge rage back in the 1980's and early 1990's.  I'll be honest - I thought it was cool, and tried to incorporate this awesome fad with my school attire.  Granted, the hot jocks looked so much better than I did.  You know - the football, baseball, and soccer players?  I thought they looked hot sporting those tight rolled up pants - I'll spare you the details of my fantasies.  

I love how Wikipedia describes it below, LOL.

"girls and boys would tight-roll the bottoms of their jeans or any pants that they wore. On full length pants tight rolling is performed by taking up the slack around the ankles at the hem of the pants, folding the extra material over and then rolling upwards 2 or 3 times over. A proper tight-roll should have the extra material folded inward across the lower shin. The use of safety pins was key to a good roll, but to the experienced tight roller they can be achieved without them. "

And yes, everyone did it - even the celebrities on television, like Zac Morris from Saved by the Bell.  I think every gay boy in America had a huge crush on him growing up.

I also found this hilarious instructional video on YouTube on how to sport those tight-rolled up pants. 

Who knows?  You may find you like it; I have heard they're making a comeback.
