The girl featured in this video was stranded in the Pittsburgh International Airport for 10 hours during Snowpocalypse ‘09. She passed the time by video taping herself. Well done!

The hand drawn seven-legged spider above became the subject of a hilarious viral email a couple of years ago. It begins with an email exchange between an Australian man – David Thorne – and a utility company. As it turns out, Thorne owes the company $233.95. Because he has no money, he emails a hand drawn spider which he values at $233.95.

Here’s the response for the company:

Dear David,
Thankyou for contacting us. Unfortunately we are unable to accept drawings as payment and your account remains in arrears of $233.95. Please contact us within the next 7 days to confirm payment has been applied to your account and is no longer outstanding.

Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles

"The 30-Second Rule, A Decision Tree" by Audrey Fukman and Andy Wright.

You Dropped food on the floor, do you eat it?

You know that you’ve been guilty of this before. Accidentally dropping a food item on the floor then claiming the 5 second rule. According to Wikipedia, The five-second rule is a popular polite fiction regarding the eating of food that has fallen to the floor or ground. The substance of the rule is that if food falls on the ground, it may be safely eaten as long as it is picked up within five seconds.

Tonight I had a sore throat. I was curious why drinking hot tea often helps a sore throat. I really didn’t have to look further than the AnswerBag. I think the person answering the question meant Phlegm.

There are few things in life that are more important than knowing how to act like Paul McCartney. (Okay, maybe I can think of a few others …) Stevie Riks does a fabulous job. He really nails McCartney’s mannerisms to a tee!

I attended the National Association of Realtors show this past weekend in San Diego, California. I was shocked when I first saw the billboard at this booth and noticed what appeared to say “You Suck.” I was anxious to find out who would display such an audacious message. After approaching the billboard from a different angle, I noticed that it really said “YOUR SUCCESS.” I was curious if this was intentional or completely accidental.  Unfortunately, the message didn’t turn out to be the insult I had first perceived. Either way, because of the position, it mostly looked like “YOU SUCK.”

These lovely manimal creations are from UK based illustrator Kevin Cornell. They are funky and whimsical with a tad bit of sarcasm added for good measure. Even though this series is varied, there is a commonality which runs through and grabs you head on.

You can see Cornell’s other works and purchase the prints above at BearSkinRug. I recommend following @BearSkinRug on Twitter as well. Good stuff!

Hi, if you are coming to this site via Internet Explorer 6, you might not be getting the best experience possible. Honestly, I can’t even begin to think about what your entire experience on the internet must be like? (…probably like riding a bike on the highway while cars blow by you on their way to Costco to get gallons of mayonnaise and 60-inch plasma TV’s). How will you ever be able to use this website?????? You wont. You’re an asshole and your browser is an asshole. So look, I’m going to be honest: I kind of hate you. BUT we c-a-n make this work. Here is what I am going to need you to do: fire up your Toshiba ShitBook© that weighs about 45 pounds, wipe the Cheeto dust off the screen, download Safari ( http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ ), delete Internet Explorer from your computer, punch yourself in the face, and get me a pulled pork sandwich.

Yeah. I like the line punch yourself in the face … That’s why it’s bold … twice!
