Are you aware of all internet traditions?

GOATSE creature in SPORE - the Spore creature creator demo has been released as a prelude to the full game later in the year. Someone has already gone ahead and created an animal that looks like.. well you can see what it looks like. YouTube vid, short and sweet. It should be safe for work, cos there's no.. you know.. but in reality, it probably isn't.

Curious George: The End I have always had a fascination with the concept of the end of the human race. I can recall as a little boy feeling certain that our species was doomed due to pollution and human mismanagement. I had strong feelings that we had fifty more years, at best. As an adult, my doomsday prophesies get fueled over and over again by global warming alarmists, reports of nukular weapons in the hands of evil-doers, depletion of fisheries, bird flu, mutant viruses, rain forest atrocities, Lindsay Lohan, and so on. But here’s the rub: If humanity is going to exit stage right, I want it to happen during my lifetime. If we’ve trudged all these years from caves to condos and it is all about to fail, I’d like to be around to see that happen. Sick? I think not. What’s the point of living life’s great pageant if you don’t get to read the last chapter? Eh? Discuss.

The Bubble Truck

Mackie MixBusters Okay, so it's pretty much an ad for Mackie audio equipment but driving a pickup over expensive electronics is always exciting. The visceral crunch of snapped knobs and bent frames... destructive testing at its finest. Bonus: some guy pouring chocolate milk over his 5000$US camera.
