One Heckuva Fountain

4+ minutes of amazing plumbing. -Head Trickster

Starlings

It's been a while since we had a bird video. This one is amazing. -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

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

Baby's Named a Bad, Bad Thing

Few things are more fraught with inherent danger than naming a child. It's a serious responsibility. You alone are faced with handing your child a future of greatness and the respect of his peers or consigning him to a life of misery and working at a gas station. Then there is the time gap. What about names that sound horrific in childhood, but amazing in adulthood? (Winston Churchill - you can't tell me that guy didn't have a horrible childhood.  Seriously, Winston?) This site gives a list of those who have failed miserably. It should make you feel better about yourself. - Vice Trickster in Charge of Vice

Church signs are always good for a laugh. Some are funny, some are inane, some are unintentionally funny. Now they're collected in one place. -Vice Trickster in Charge of Vice

Cat-tastrophe

It's not that StupidInternetTricks.com has anything against cats specifically. (Well, that's not entirely true. We do get the gag reflex at hyper-cute applications of cat/kitten kitsch. But is that the fault of the cat or the owner? Hmm?)

So, in the interest of avoiding terminal cuteiosity [Sure it's a word. There are 6 occurrences on Google.] We decline to do the cat thing on StupidInternetTricks.com. Except for the obsessed animal thing. Oh, and the LolCats Buildr.

In deference to the more warm-and-fuzzy readers, here's a cat fest. -Head Trickster

Cat Cam: Jurgen Perthold attached a camera to his cat to discover what he does all day long. He sells cat cams so you can do the same.

ICanHasCheezburger.com: The original LOLCats site.

KittenWar.com: Vote on cuteness factor.

CuteOverload.com: Cross-species cute photos.

YouTube.com/CuteCast: Cross-species cute vides.

Garfield Minus Garfield

From the website: Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb.
