The Thought For Today

"The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age." - Lucille Ball

Out of Context Science

"Good science, badly quoted. Removing knowledge from context and leaving something that's sometimes hilarious, sometimes strange, and, hopefully, completely absurd." And just plain fun.

The Thought For Today

“In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.” - Terry Pratchett

Complaints Choir of Birmingham

I think this is in imitation of the Helsinki Choir, if I understand the credits correctly. I don't like it quite as much as the Helsinki one, but it's still worth a view. This is from Birmingham, England, not Alabama, just in case you were wondering.

The Thought For Today

"If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because I bet that's what really throws you into a panic." — Jack Handey

Helsinki Complaints Choir

This is a very funny but also sweet YouTube video that I found. I used to live near one of the biggest Finnish communities in the United States and yes, they were a lot like this.

How to Scare Away a Telemarketer

I've heard of many ways to deal with telemarketers. Me, I just say, "No, thank you," and hang up immediately before than can get a word in edgewise. But some of you rapscallions out there are more creative, like Tom Mabe.
