Abraham Lincoln = Avid Facebooker?

I got a kick out of this summary of how facebook would have documented the civil war. The genius who wrote it should probably apply his/her IQ to better activities, but at least it made me laugh! (Sorry I didn’t just post it onto this site, but its a big image so just click the link!)

Big Love

Ever wonder what its like to be 1,235 pounds? How about losing 525 pounds? Well, Manuel Uribe has experienced both. Now his next challenge is to walk - literally walk - down the aisle with fiancee Claudia Solis. However, he has some significant roadblocks ahead. His last attempt to leave the house “to attend Solis’ 38th birthday party in March — fell through when a flatbed tow truck brought to transport his reinforced bed got caught beneath an underpass” according to CNN.com. While I don’t quite understand how someone can weigh 1,235 pounds, I certainly applaud his efforts. If one severely obese Mexican man can lose 525 pounds, how is it that 1/3rd of American adults (who undoubtedly have more resources than most Mexicans) are so hard pressed to slim down?

What if Tattoos Told the Truth?

You know how sometimes you see someone walking down the street and suddenly their gloriously-visible tattoo catches your eye? Well if you’ve ever wanted to attach a humorous caption to it, you’ll certainly enjoy this article from the always funny cracked.com which pays tribute to the “I was waaaayy too drunk/high/asleep when I made this decision” tattoo.

What the Hell Does That Sign Mean?

Our Friends across the pond at the Telegraph have put together some of the weirdest signs you’ve seen.

Here’s a great article from cracked.com describing 6 action heroes whose asses you can probably beat, complete with comical quips.

Harmless Children’s Toy or Harbinger of Racism?!

Who doesn’t like a sock monkey? Its impossible not to entertain kids and adults alike when holding one of these cuddly creatures…unless the toy you’re holding is a sock Obama monkey! Honestly, i’m not sure how racist it actually is. I can see both sides of the story- one being that its just a harmless toy for kids and the other being that its a tasteless representation of a black person. I tend to agree more with the latter purely because the makers of the monkey didn’t make a McCain monkey as well. Call me an equal-opportunity puppeteer, but I want equality for people - and sock monkeys - of all races! USA! USA! USA!

Anchorman 2!!!!!

Will Farrell said he and director Adam McKay will be bringing back Ron Burgundy and the Channel 4 news team for Anchorman 2!!! You’re probably thinking “why would they want to screw up the best movie of all this or any other generation by making a sequel?” Well don’t you worry- if it isn’t as good or better as the first one, then San Diego doesn’t mean “a whale’s vagina”.

Einstein Incarnate!!!

Lukasz Zbylut (I dare you to pronounce it) is a Polish immigrant who’s been living stateside for only 5 years. After applying to college, it turns out he’s been admitted into the Ivy League. Not by one, two, or three ivy league schools, but by seven!!! Zbylut announced he’s attending Harvard even though those snobby punks over at MIT rejected the poor bastard.

According to Todayshow.com, “Zbylut is co-captain of his school’s United Nations team; founder of its debate team; president of its mock-trial team and editor of the school newspaper. And, just for kicks, he plays soccer.” Apparently, his other achievements include dating the captains of both the Lord of the Rings club and the Warcraft club at the SAME time! (The girls don’t know about it yet, but there could be a nerd fight in the near future when they do!)
