Stupid Internet Tricks

More Word Geeks

Because one post wasn't enough to document antics of the grammar police, or grammar slammers, as we at StupidInternetTricks.com call them.

In fact, one blog isn't sufficient to document the abuse of the apostrophe, evidently.

Cat Tantrum

StuipidInternetTricks.com Entertainment Guarrantee: In 20 seconds you will be laughing. -Head Trickster

Mercy!

You have to hand it to these performers who, by the way, are members of China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe, and are all deaf. Guan Yin is the Buddhist god of mercy, with a thousand hands to help those in need. This is one of those shows where you want tickets on the 50-yard line. Otherwise, it's probably going to suck. -Head Trickster

Morning efficiency

Once again the Japanese come through with a life hack, aka urawaza, a slick way to do something. And also with the zany TV they're infamous for on StupidInternetTricks.com. Learn how to get up, get dressed, cook/eat toast, egg and coffee, and brush your teeth in 5 minutes.

The funniest thing about this video is that every technique is explained in detail after the 5 minute demonstration. -Head Trickster

Why we discontinued the StupidInternetTricks.com Friday office party

We'll, let's just say, at the last one the Vice Trickster in Charge of Vice and his homies got a little out of hand. -Head Trickster

500 nanoseconds

Among other things (like hanging out with monkeys) Jaspar Nance does high-speed photography. She takes photos of things that happen in a half-a-millionth of a second. Especially shooting things! -Head Trickster

MP3 Alarm Clock

The Head Trickster had an alarm clock like this back in the day. But without the MP3 player. And with a little hammer that whacked the bells like nobody's business and was impossible to sleep through. Which was the point. But he did, anyway.

Internet Symphony Orchestra

Remember Kuitman and the Mother of All Funk Chords? The YouTube Symphony Orchestra is giving him a run for his money in the classical realm. Here's the video of a performance of the Tan Dun composition "Internet Symphony, Eroica" edited together from the audition videos submitted. The group assembled at Carneige Hall to do a live performance. Lot' more interesting footage on the channel. -Head Trickster

Junket on a Junk

This is a junk.

 

This is a junk boat. It's literally made out of junk. Two guys sailed it from San Francisco to Honolulu. Check out the website. Interesting. -Head Trickster

Partying down for Purim

An amusing example of how the online culture is growing increasingly self-referential. This is a good effort at re-enacting several notorious YouTube videos, but it is noticably missing two that would have been easy to re-create, the Numa Numa guy and the Back Dorm Boys. -Head Trickster
