Stupid Internet Tricks

Six months later

Perhaps you've seen the JK wedding entrance video. Now for the rest of the story. With better dancers. -Head Trickster

Let's go fly a tent . . .

. . . up high as the rent. [What? You got a better lyric?]

Nothing says Bubba-licious like a flying tent video anthology. At 6:35 in you can see a guy almost lose one before he gets help. [From everybody but the turkey with the camera.] At 8:26 you can see a wind-devastated landscape and cackling campers. A good time was had by all, evidently. -Head Trickster

Ze Frank Is Back

I caught up with the Ze Frank phenomena long after he had already ended his year long daily video extravaganza. I was so blown away, I went back and watched every single video he recorded in order. It took me around 2 months, but it was completely worth it. The only depressing thing was that it was over. Like the untimely death of "Arrested Development", another genius moment bit the dust too soon. Only this one was because he intended it that way from the beginning.

Well. Our time has come. He's back. Thank God.

He's even on Time.com

Watch the early years. Or start now. You'll thank me later. -Vice Trickster in Charge of Vice

Stupid Pet Tricks Tuesday

For as long as they last, our weekly homage to the inspiration for StupidInternetTricks.com, David Letterman's Stupid Pet Tricks.

Thriller Covers - Bollywood

Here's the mother of all Thriller covers, Bollywood style. You just got to love it. It's a state law.

And another international cover from the prisoners at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, Cebu, Philippines. (Making of.)

The new craze: Weddying party dances Thriller at the reception. Here's one. Here's another. -Head Trickster

Kew Millennium Seed Bank

The site says "The Kew Millennium Seed Bank is the largest ex situ conservation project ever conceived. Its partners will have banked seed from 10% of the world's wild plant species by the end of the decade. These will not be just any plants, but will include the rarest, most threatened and most useful species known to man." That's cool, but we're rocked by the photos, like this Indian Paintbrush seed. -Head Trickster

 

Engineer/Assasin jobs down 59%

Writers sometimes need unusual information. The Head Trickster came across this graph while working on his latest project. Looks like Xmas 2007 was the best time to get into the market.

Average Engineer / Assassin Salaries: $61,000. Average engineer / assassin salaries can vary greatly due to company, location, industry, experience and benefits.

Don't ask. -Head Trickster

Bug Con Trails

Actually, light trails, but it's cooler to think about bugs leaving con trails. Nice bit of bugwatching under the streetlight for a lazy Sunday. Go ful-screen and enjoy. -Head Trickster

Cobain Posthumously Rickrolled

For a special Saturday musical treat, one of the funniest things I've seen all week. Of course, you have to be hip to the whole rickrolled meme to appreciate it. -Head Trickster

You'll look sweet . . .

. . . upon the seat of a riding swing built for two.

This should be a required exercise for couples in counseling. Half an hour with this and they will either be cured or divorced. -Head Trickster
