In Honor of Black History Month

I would have written in honour, but this is a US-related subject so I'll allow it.

February is Black History Month in the US.

I personally like the view of Morgan Freeman who said: "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history."

In any case, here's SNL's take on the subject.

Lava Coming Into Contact With The Ocean

Continuing with the nature theme, here's up close footage from the island of Hawaii of lava falling into the Pacific ocean.

The guy in the white car must have REALLY needed to be somewhere.

Between Two Ferns with Zack Galifianakis

That's weird...!

I was pretty sure I had posted "Between Two Ferns" with Zack Galifianakis (by Funny or Die) before, but after searching for a bit it seems I was mistaken.

Here are three of the best:


Brad Pitt

Justin Bieber

Barack Obama

The Amazing Lyrebird

Lyrebirds are native to Australia and are known for the ability to mimic all sorts of sounds they encounter in their environment.

For example... a laser pistol.





...camera sounds (starts at 1:46).





... and well-known sitcom theme tunes (even David Attenborough is surprised).




OK... the last one's a lie (but I'm sure you knew that already).

That Mitchell and Webb Look - Reality Shows

I've been meaning to post these for a while.

The Gift Shop Sketch





This bit by Charlie Brooker about clever editing is also worth a look.

10 Hours of Walking in NYC

A couple of months ago, this video was uploaded on Youtube showing a woman being harassed (or "harassed" depending on your view) while walking for 10 hours in the streets of New York.





Although it did manage to convey its message (whether you agree with it or not), the video also spawned a variety of parodies and copycats.


Here are perhaps the best:

3 Hours of Walking in NYC as a (Model) Man





10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a(n) (Average) Man

10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Man from Nate Dern

10 Hours of Princess Leia Walking in NYC




A lot more can be found with a quick search on Youtube,
such as 10 Hours of Walking:

in NYC as a Jew,
in NYC as a Lamborghini,
in Los Angeles as a Mime (wat?),
in Skyrim as a Woman in Skimpy Armor,
etc. 

Just Star Trek Things

Starting off with Star Trek deshaked! (or stabilized, whichever you prefer)

And the second one in video form:





Here the Star Trek TNG cast demonstrates (starts at 3:33):





And here as demonstrated by Jeri Ryan and Wil Wheaton (starts at 21:20):





The way Riker sits down:





Worf gets denied again and again and again:





And finally, Picard gets on the Christmas song bandwagon!

How Oblivion Should Have Ended

Having just watched Oblivion (2013) I was actually visualizing the same things.





Would I recommend this movie? If you're a sci-fi fan, yes.
It does have multiple plot holes and sometimes the characters act irrationally (I prefer my sci-fi to be... realistic), so all in all I give it a 6.5/10.

Thanksgiving Explained

By "Kristen Stewart".

I was going to post this yesterday, but... I forgot.





So now you know.

All 253 of Messi's La Liga Goals

In chronological order and with the name of the team he scored against (date and final score would also have been appreciated, but we'll have to do with this).

On Saturday 22nd of November 2014 Lionel Messi broke the La Liga record of 251 goals scored held by Telmo Zarra since 1955. Taking into account that he is only 27, it is safe to say that, as long as he continues to play in Spain, he will break the record almost every week.

Here's hoping the video stays up and is not taken down by stupid copyright claims.





By Year:
1. 2004-05: 1 Goal
2. 2005-06: 6 Goals (7)
3. 2006-07: 14 Goals (21)
4. 2007-08: 10 Goals (31)
5. 2008-09: 23 Goals (54)
6. 2009-10: 34 Goals (88)
7. 2010-11: 31 Goals (119)
8. 2011-12: 50 Goals (169)
9. 2012-13: 46 Goals (215)
10. 2013-14: 28 Goals (243)
11. 2014-15: 10* Goals (253*)

Who Wants To Be A Cheater

I recently came across the story of how, in 2001, three people tried to cheat on the UK version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?". And they would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those pesky kids they hadn't been greedy.

The main character is the player, Charles Ingram, and his accomplices were his wife, and a player in waiting.

Here is how it unfolded from the UK programme "Tonight" split on Youtube in five parts.
It's fascinating and captivating to watch.

Shia LaBeouf - The Musical

Shia LaBeouf is one crazy motherf*****.

I've hated him ever since I saw him in the first Transformers movie.
It was already crappy enough without him.

So I was quite surprised that I actually enjoyed this performance based on his person.





Also... so that's how you pronounce LaBeouf...
