Happy Thanksgiving from...Tracy Morgan?



Britney Spears has a new album out, and you know it's serious because it's called Britney Jean. Why not enjoy this track by track listening review of it?

Who doesn't love Japanese game shows? Apart from the occasional participant of a Japanese game show?

I guess I would find this look at British people labeling the United States funnier if it weren't for the fact that I doubt the average American could do much better. Case in point, here's a look at Americans attempting to label the countries in Europe. Apparently everyone thinks Scandinavia is simply "Cold."

Sorry American prisoners, I don't care how badass your ink looks, it's not going to trump Russian prison tattoos.

If you find yourself with some time and a television this holiday weekend, here's a look at some shows you could binge watch, courtesy the A.V. Club.

Tracy Morgan Explains Star Wars

I'm not really sure Tracy Morgan ever saw Star Wars. I mean the inaccuracies are stunning!

Books that really no longer deserve movie adaptations.

Tracy Morgan has some interesting views on stuff.

So where exactly does the U.S. store its nuclear waste?

Images of Pluto. Some of the best ever. Which means they look like my attempts at making marbles with the original Photoshop.

The trailer for the A-Team movie. I assume there will be deaths in this movie. I'm assuming this movie will be bad. I don't have much else to say.

Garbage Island is sitting out there in the Pacific. How far away are we before someone claims ownership and begins to sell it as prime real estate?

Making perfect french fries means double frying. But I could have told you that without any of the science. Have you tried a double fried french fry? Case closed.

Don't think noise pollution is that big of a deal? You will when you run out of quiet places.

I love how each driver pauses, feeling the other out, trying to figure which one is going to do what. In the end? Never a problem!

This article is stupid. If you can't come up with an awesome band name, then really, you probably aren't going to make it big.

I would work at any of these places.

It all sounds so delicious.

Best of lists are starting to creep up. This one is for music.

Tracy Morgan is funny. Here are 8 examples that prove it.

This goes from being kinda “hey those people are kinda loopy,” to “um, these people are probably dangerous and I’m frightened.” And that’s just a trailer! (Of course, it all depends on your beliefs, so maybe I’m the crazy one.)

The best of the worst in advertising.

This is cool – a surfing competition that can only be held every so often because it’s based on the conditions. Oh and it happened possibly yesterday. And there’s something called Condition Black in Hawaii that stops all water activities. It’s fascinating. Also, if you get a chance, watch the surf video up above. You won’t get a true sense of how big the waves are until the helicopter shows up – and is dwarfed by the waves.

The 3 winning photos from the National Geographic Global photo contest.

A look back at the story that is Jon Gosselin.

There is a lot that has to happen to get the Olympic flame from Greece to its final destination (in this case, Vancouver).

I’m not gonna tell you this doesn’t have a romantic notion to it. Obviously it rapidly becomes unromantic when faced with the reality of it. Especially, I’m assuming the daily debate of where to shit.

Though out of context, here’s a funny list of everything Tracy Morgan (Jordan) said on 30 Rock this season.

Quick music news… Radiohead is working on a new album, while Dangermouse is trying something different.

Talking to SNL’s Abby Elliot.

Scientists suggest there have been 5 big extinctions. Are we currently in the sixth?

A history of white people in rap. Calling it out as something special seems mildly racist, but who am I?

Huh, who would have thought mining in the mountains of Bolivia would be such a dangerous job?

Some of these explosions maybe shouldn’t be labeled “greatest,” (more like horrific) but I didn’t write it.

At first, this time lapse video of the Milky Way passing over Texas made me feel a bit of vertigo. But then the big event came to be. The Milky Way resembles many things. 2 came to mind immediately – one was a knife scar. The other, well I’ll let you decide.

Kevin Smith’s next movie will apparently be about detectives, starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan.

More on that Greek guy that broke out of prison via helicopter.

Here’s what really happened between Frost and Nixon. It makes me hate the phone call even more.

An interview with food guru Michael Pollan.

And an interview with Sully – that guy that landed the plane in the water:

Stuff you didn’t know about the sun.

Suppress the First Amendment? Why not?

Britney’s back! Here’s a review of her current performance:

Authors get rejected all the time. Even the famous ones:
