Links of Interest 7/8

One of the funniest men working in show business right now is Ricky Gervais. Everything he touches seems to simply work (minus Night at the Museum, but we can't hold him accountable for that train wreck).

Who doesn't like serial killers?
Well, at least reading about them.

Sick of your boss piling stuff on you? Ready to hit the rails and live carefree as a hobo? Check this list before you go - it could save your life.

Legos are awesome. I definitely believe they went a long way into shaping the person I am now. So this video brought back a lot of memories.

Like music? Take a look at some of these websites.
So, there's been a lot of talk about this Dara Torres. Have you seen recent pictures of her? She makes other swimmers look positively doughy! Ripped beyond belief, this article goes into a little more detail about how she has been training for the Olympics.

I'm guessing that one of these things will eventually wipe us all out.

I love maps, so this blog will certainly be bookmarked.

Super Secret Lost Podcast!


The Lost finale has come and gone, but that doesn't mean it was forgotten (ok, maybe a little since it was so long ago). Since the finale was a 3 hour ordeal, we decided that instead of creating a 14 hour episode of our podcast that would bore everyone to tears, we would give our Lost listeners a special treat - 25 minutes of our insane ramblings and pinings about the Lost finale.

Download to hear musings about Keamy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (your guess is as good as mine), Dante's Inferno (ditto) ruminations on what is going on and what will be going going on in the next season. You won't want to miss it!

Definitive proof that Keamy is a badass and Sayid is a pussy (and possible evidence on what the hell Cline was talking about with "tranquilizer" Joe:



Jeremy Bentham's wikipedia page that pretty much proves that neither of us know what we're talking about.

And finally, a super awesome video that definitively explains the entire show. (I'll be impressed if you get through 2 minutes. And there are 2 more parts!)

I've always been fascinated by ancient religious artifacts, so this story is cool to me. The discovery of something new, the interpretation of it, the arguments...and then we learn it's pretty much fiction. That's like saying in 1000 years, someone is going to be able to tell how we lived by reading a Stephen King novel. And yet there's so much intensity over all of this.

I love Buckaroo Bonzai, so this site selling related merchandise is awesome.

I've heard rumors that this project isn't going to delve too far into the popular conspiracies of the president, which would be a minor upset if you were gambling on it.

Every few years or so, someone trots out a cool "end of days" scenario for us to worry about. So far, we've been able to laugh them all off. Will the Mayan/2012 doomsday prophecy be the one to finally cash us all in?

A great article on a convicted sports agent of human trafficking, set against the backdrop of Cuban baseball. It's long, but well worth the read, especially if you're a sports fan.

This person takes a nonchalant approach to almost being killed by a train. Talk about a cool customer - unless they didn't see the train at all.

Klosterman is an expert on pop culture. Don't believe me? Well, check this out...he apparently has been hired as a professor for a German university to teach students about pop culture in the United States.

I've received the anti-Obama email and I too thought about trying to track it down to its source. Obviously, my hunt would be much more grass roots; basically tracing the email addresses of people that sent it, but who knows? Perhaps it would have worked out.

If I had to describe a woman who was the star of roughly 150 bestiality videos, I'm pretty sure I would come up with someone similar to the person pictured here.
