YouTube Tuesday: A bridge over troubled water

This was our drive to college today. Jeremy is hardcore.

Pancake art makes playing with food fun

You know how you were told over and over again not to play with your food as a kid – well – it turns out playing with your food is a great way to get your online Warhol (one unit of fifteen minutes of fame). This Pancake art is fun.

Understanding the emerging church

I think we can all agree that this sort of emerging church is pretty cool. Except for the whole drought angle…
underwater church

“This combination photograph shows the ruins of a church in the Andean town of Potosi in 2008 (L) and its current state on February 21, 2010. The 25-meter-tall church and ruins of a Potosi town flooded in the early 1980s have emerged from the Uribante-Caparo water reservoir after a drought reduced water levels.”

A bit of a pickle

I’m on the record saying the Nickleback are the world’s worst band. I stand by my statement. It also turns out that singer Chad Kroeger has no sense of humour.

If you’re on Facebook you’ve probably been invited to join a little social experiment called “can this pickle get more fans than Nickleback.” I confess to almost signing up. I ignore all similar requests as a matter of principle (though I am a fan of Bacon).

The Nickleback frontman didn’t like it very much when the pickle eventually became more popular – and he joined the group to have a little rant (this is the first time I’ve ever linked to Perez Hilton – it’ll probably be the last.

What he should have done was invited the pickle to join the band on its next tour.

Noise reducing toilet stool

Tired of hearing your significant other “falling” from such great heights. Would you like to reduce the noise associated with your visits to the water closet? It would no doubt make phone conversations while on the toilet less awkward. You definitely need, note – not want, one of these kneeling stools (if you don’t want to spend your hard earned you could just pinch one from an Anglican Church somewhere).

You could sit, but not only is that unbecoming a man, you also risk splashing the rim. Enter the Pee Without Noise stool. Kneeling on its soft cushions positions you at the exact right height to land your stream in the bowl at a much-reduced velocity and volume level. This simple, elegant tool could save your dignity, your relationship, or even your life (if there’s a robber in the house but you just have to go)!

What I love is the subtle use of the colour yellow in the marketing… and the angel’s oddly phallic wand.

Put your hero in a half shell

The site selling these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle backpacks went all out and got a teenage mutant to model this ninja turtle bag.
