It takes big balls to play soccer with your car...

Check out this clip from BBC's "Top Gear" where they play soccer using cars... pretty entertaining.

Rainbows? Must be a Government Conspiracy...

OK, so maybe I paid more attention in science class than some people. And I used to watch "3-2-1 Contact" on PBS as a kid, which taught me some stuff. But I'm pretty sure rainbows are caused when water droplets (rain, mist, water from a hose or sprinkler) refract sunlight, causing a prism effect.

I also vividly recall being able to create a small rainbow effect with the spray from our garden hose when I was a kid in the early 80's. And as far as I know, my parents weren't dosing me with LSD at the time.

Of course, this lady thinks that rainbows like that didn't exist 20 years ago. So obviously it must be a government conspiracy to put some goofy chemicals in our water, and stuff that's oozing up through our ground. Now that's a special kind of crazy.



And by the way, if you're dumb enough to start buying into her nutbag theories... here's how rainbows actually work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow

Bikini Cinema... Brilliant!

Bikini Cinema... girls in bikinis reading lines from movies. I'm hooked.

When Celebs Go Nuts: Buddy Rich

Legendary drummer and big band leader Buddy Rich was notoriously hard on his band and would berate them mercilessly on the tour bus. And of course someone in the band decided to run a tape recorder while he was ranting...

When Celebs Go Nuts: Lily Tomlin & David O. Russell (Part 2)

Oh... it keeps going. This clip makes Lily Tomlin look really unreasonable, but paired with the previous "When Celebs Go Nuts" entry, it makes a lot more sense.

Be sure to check out Dustin Hoffman ineffectually trying to defuse the situation.

When Celebs Go Nuts: Lily Tomlin & David O. Russell

Here's another one that cracks me up. Apparently director David O. Russel is a pain in the ass to work with. He allegedly got into a fistfight with George Clooney on the set of Three Kings, and clearly had some issues with Lily Tomlin on the set of I Heart Huckabees.

Fun Phallus Facts

Men's Health magazine offers a list of 15 facts you didn't know about your unit. Here are several of them .... including my comments in italics.

1. Smoking can shorten your penis by as much as a centimeter. Erections are all about good bloodflow, and lighting up calcifies blood vessels, stifling erectile circulation. So even if you don't care all that much about your lungs or dying young, spare the little guy.

-- Another reason to be thankful for Wisconsin's statewide smoking ban!

2. Doctors can now grow skin for burn victims using the foreskins of circumcised infants. One foreskin can produce 23,000 square meters, which would be enough to tarp every Major League infield with human flesh.

-- So disturbing. Not the idea of having burned skin replaced with foreskin... the thought of seeing the grounds crew unroll a huge tarp of foreskin every time it rains at Wrigley Field.

3. The average male orgasm lasts six seconds. Women get 23 seconds. (Which means if women were really interested in equality, they'd make sure guys had four orgasms for every one of theirs.)

-- Of course, a lot of women would be happy to get one orgasm for every four that a guy has, so I suppose that evens things out.

4. Only one man in 400 is flexible enough to give himself oral pleasure.

-- I am not that one man.

5. There are two types of penises. One kind expands and lengthens when becoming erect (a grower). The other appears big most of the time, but doesn't get much bigger after achieving erection (a shower).

-- I was in the pool! There was shrinkage! It's a grower!!

6. An international Men's Health survey reports that 79 percent of men have growers, 21 percent have showers.

-- So the statistics are in your favor when you tell her that it gets bigger than this... really, it does.

7. German researchers say the average intercourse lasts 2 minutes, 50 seconds, yet women perceive it as lasting 5 minutes, 30 seconds.

-- So it feels longer than it is? Bonus!

8. Better-looking men may have stronger sperm. Spanish researchers showed women photos of guys who had good, average, and lousy sperm-and told them to pick the handsomest men. The women chose the best sperm producers most often.

-- Ladies - that means ugly guys are less likely to get you pregnant! Remember that next time we awkwardly hit on you at a bar.

Super Troopers meets Superbad?

Between the drunk cop cruising around and pulling over drivers who weren't doing anything wrong... plus that the cop's name was MacCubbin (which sounds an awful lot like McLovin)... this just seems like someone combined the movies Super Troopers and Superbad.

I'll assume the story is true and that the reporter didn't just get stoned, watch a couple of movies over the weekend, and get confused.

Get the full story here.

When Celebs Go Nuts: Christian Bale

I've always been fascinated when famous people drop the pretense and act like the a-holes they really are.

Admittedly, the people they're yelling at sometimes deserve it. But it's still nice to see that even celebrities can get really pissed off too.

So, in case you haven't heard it enough...
