The Dangers of Twitter and URL shorteners
Oh, gosh, this is so surreal... a spokesperson for Meg Whitman, the Republican nominee for governor of California, tweeted a link to the campaign website... only it wasn't a link to the campaign website. They used a URL shortener, and, when tweeting, accidentally left off an 'r' at the end. I won't spoil what it linked to, but I will provide the link: http://bit.ly/bNCAV.
Cats Morph into Croissants
Waaah... what a hilariously amusing video. I can't stop watching it...

C Code, Run!
I saw this bumper sticker on a car last quarter on campus, co-incidentally when I was taking CS107 (the introductory C class). It's a pretty accurate description of how I was feeling during the write-a-heap-allocator assignment:

Top 10 Wipeout Moments
This is the funniest thing I've seen, like, the whole Summer. It's the top ten funniest moments from this TV show that pits people against moving obstacles that aim to hit them into the water. The commentary is no good, of course, and the first top ten moment is just OK, but the rest -- especially the last -- had me and my brother and sister in tears (link in post title).

Worst Analogies Written in High School Essays
(thanks to Javier for forwarding this to me)
Collected from high school English teachers around the US:
• The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.
• McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty Bag filled with vegetable soup.
• From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and "Jeopardy" comes on at 7 p.m. instead of 7:30.
• Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze.
• Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
• He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.
• The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.
• Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be buried in the credits as something like "Second Tall Man."
• Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
• The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the Dr. on a Dr. Pepper can.
• John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
• The thunder was ominous-sounding, much like the sound of a thin sheet of metal being shaken backstage during the storm scene in a play.
• The red brick wall was the color of a brick-red Crayola crayon.

Lufthansa Pillow Fight
Lufthansa is a great airline, I've found. They're also the first airline I took alone (when I was 10, from Moscow to Switzerland). Recently a pillow fight erupted in economy class on a flight of theirs from Tel Aviv to Frankfurt between German and French passengers. A stewardess happily joined in.
