I would hate to be stuck underground not knowing that I was going to be in there for two months. That’s the fate of the miners in Chile. This infographic puts their plight into perspective.

How to host a water fight
This is:
a) a really cool film clip concept.
b) the world’s biggest water fight.

d) a catchy, happy song.
e) all of the above.
Find Jesus in your toast – every morning
JesusToasters help your breakfast theophanies become a daily event.
Great for communion toast too. Really hammers home the link between the bread and the body of Christ.
How to stop speeding
This is a cool ad campaign with one of those clever stretchy sticker things that looks like it’s in 3D from different angles. The type you see on sports fields in TV broadcasts.
The Chinese Army Challenge: Can they “Beat It”
Getting big groups of people to dance to Michael Jackson songs is a bit old hat. This involves some B-Grade martial art style redubbing.

An infographic explaining infographics
I post lots of infographics. I like them. They are simplicity personified (though not as simple as a good Venn Diagram). But infographics are part of the search engine optimisation strategies of some of the web’s nefarious spammers.
So here’s an explanation.

You gotta love this city…
The Whitlams were on to something. I don’t think they were thinking about ministry when they wrote Love This City. But I think it’s a great idea for churches. It’s Biblical too (see Jeremiah 29).
This is one thing I think the Mars Hill/Acts 29 movement does really well. And when they speak about it, I listen.
So check out this post. Four ways to know your city.
Here’s one way:
“Ask your neighbors and fellow citizens lots of questions. Don’t interrogate them but show sincere, intentional interest in them and the information they possess. Anecdotal information about your city and fellow citizens is unbeatable.
Ask them the What, How, and Why questions: What do you think is broken in our neighborhood or city? What gets you excited about life? What do you think should be done about economic decline in our city? Anything you would like to change about your neighborhood?
Are you fulfilled in what you are doing in life? Why do you drive across town to do X? Why do you dislike traditional Christianity?”
The last question is based on a startling assumption. Maybe they don’t dislike traditional Christianity.
Charlie gets autotuned
Charlie Bit Me is one of those classic bits of parental exploitation on YouTube, the kid should join some sort of internet celebrity support group with David After Dentist.

The Porpoise Driven Life
Years ago my friend Phil and I produced a range of parody Christian book covers, including, but not limited to, the Porpoise Driven Life. Here’s a TV commercial. Not made by us. But brilliant.
Turtles Eating Stuff
Pet turtles are fun. You should totally get some. Then you can take their photos while they eat and make them minor cewebrities on Turtles Eating Things. A photoblog dedicated to turtles eating stuff.

Star Wars Rhapsody
I’m a sucker for a Bohemian Rhapsody cover/parody. Here you’ll find the Star Wars prequels in six minutes. Better than watching them.
Awesome Action
This is pretty over the top. And thus. Awesome.
Warning: it includes the comedic severing of a limb.

Pacman in stopmotion
I’ve posted something like this before. It may even have been this. If so, it is worth repeating. If not… well, it’s worth posting. Clever.
