Could this be the WORST music video EVAR? (Google video). It is quite likely this 80's Finnish pop vid called "I Wanna Love You Tender" by Armi and Danny is the worst music video ever made. If it isn't, it's in the top 5. What puts it over the top? The superb dance group, their costumes & choreography. The set appears to be from Starcrash. Komea!

Two German tourists who say they have taken a photo of the presumed extinct Tasmanian Tiger, the Thylacine, have returned to the state in a bid to prove the images are legitimate.

Inside Guff on White House staff from a low level insider, posted at Something Awful, & gaining some attention at Kos. Brilliant satire or truth? No idea, but it's fun anyway. "Donald Rumsfeld needs to wear iced underwear ... He was recently getting uncontrollable long-term erections ... The underwear and the erections is why he uses a standing desk, not because he is some super-man.

Because of the dosage, he is also impotent." Seen @ Screenhead. more inside

Pagoda upon the Hermit's Head - A massive 50 foot boulder covered in gold perched precariously upon an extremely small inclined area of contact with the rock beneath, a 23 foot shrine mounted upon it, high in the mountains of Myanmar (Burma). It is a reliquary for a hair or three of Buddha, with attendant temples. It seems to be just about to topple over, but this giant gilded rock has weathered storms and earthquakes for over 2,000 years. And it would take you a while to get there.
