Disney Recycle?

Okay, this is really eye-opening! I had NO IDEA that disney re-used their scenes, frame by frame. I knew that Kaa was in Jungle Book and Robin Hood, as was Baloo, but I mean, well, gee...

Just watch this, okay? You will FREAK OUT! Promise.

The creepy music doesn't help with the whole 'not-freaking-out' thing.

Wolfpigeons and Sharkfalcons and Crocodeagles, "Oh MY!"

This was a great April 1st (hint-wink) release by Qualcomm. It almost sounds serious as they talk of genetically manipulated wolfpigeons, sharkfalcons, and a fleet of crocodeagles, “large enough to blot out the sun”

Awesome job, guys. Almost had me fooled.

Extreme Sheep

It's a light display! It's a sheepherding display! It's a combination extravaganza!

Look, if you haven't seen it, there isn't any way to describe this. Just watch it. It's amazing what a few bored shepherds can do with sheep. Um, and LED lights.

Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens

If you are ever in South Florida you could do worse than to go to the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. From their webpage:

Since its opening in 1977, The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens has been a center for Japanese arts and culture in South Florida, with rotating exhibitions in its galleries, tea ceremonies performed monthly in its Seishin-an tea house, an educational outreach program with local schools and organizations, and Japanese traditional festivals celebrated for the public several times a year.

Oh hai! Try to make it to the anime festival. They do a good job.

Real-Life Superheroes

Crimefighting is my bag. Okay, not as much as it is for these guys and girls.

Welcome to the world of real-life superheroes.

That's right, there are people who wear costumes and chase bad guys, complete with martial arts skills and secret weapons. They have Leagues of Justice they belong to. A quote from the definitive website, World Superhero Registry:

A Real-Life Superhero must meet the following minimum criteria to be considered for the registry:

Costume: The purpose of a costume is not simply to protect the identity of the Real-Life Superhero from criminals that might seek revenge, but to make a statement both to the evil-doers that you fight against and to the world at large: you are not simply someone who happened upon crime or injustice and made an impulsive decision to intervene. You have vowed to actively fight for the betterment of humankind and to serve as an example for others. The costume of a Real-Life Superhero must be of sufficient quality to show some care went into it's creation.

Heroic Deeds: The purpose behind becoming a Real-Life Superhero must be for the benefit of mankind, and the Heroic Deeds must be of sufficient degree as to exceed normal everyday behavior. If proof of Heroic Deeds is not present, a listing may still be added to the Registry, however, it may be marked as "inactive" or "unconfirmed" in the description.

Personal Motivation: A Real-Life Superhero cannot be a paid representative of an organization, not even a benevolent one. The motivation to become a Real-Life Superhero must come from the individual: not an advertising gimmick or a public relations campaign.

Citizens, I love your enthusiasm. And your costumes.

Okay, I love it all. Everything. AND, I had no idea you existed.

But then, perhaps that's the way you planned it...

Furry Snails to Love

Hands up, who likes snails?

I saw you out there, Sophy!

This one's for you! Do snails need sweaters? Maybe when it's chilly outside a snail might need a sweater. Imagine how cozy this one feels.

All it takes is one person who cares.

And a fuzzy peep to be your friend.

Cute Overload alerted us to this. It was created by Resurrection Fern, on a post called "Small, but Not Insignificant."

Merry Christmas Everybody

This is my best present to you. How much do I love this? Very much.

It made me smile until I teared up. I loved it so.

I hope you love it too. Merry Christmas.

Cute Things Falling Asleep

Oboy oboy oboy oboy oboy!

I love finding things like this. It just doesn't get any better than Cute Things Falling Asleep! They are cute. They fall asleep!

Awwwww!

Start with this sloth, and then mosey over to the website and enjoy the full cuteness!

Merry Christmas, Everybody!

Cute animals! Singing! Snow!

What else could you ask for? Lips? We got 'em! Saxophones? Got those too! British accents? Yup.

Well, just give this a gander. You will probably like it. I know I did.

P.S. I tagged a lot of animals I wasn't sure were in the video, but who looks at those anyway?

Weezer, Pork and Beans

This is Weezer's video, "Pork and Beans."

I'm not allowed to embed it, so the links are here, above here, and on the picture to the right.

It has many familiar internet stars in it.

It is fun.

Watch it.

Of course, the Barenaked Ladies did it first.

And they let me embed themselves.

So I bet they get more views.

Whatever.

I Made You a Beard

Sara found this through Design*Sponge, one of her favorite sites. It's belongs a friend of the Design*Sponge author.

She makes beards. Go and see. They're kind of nice. Odd, but nice.

Maru, the scottish fold cat!

ANOTHER CUTE VIDEO??? OH YEAH!!!

Those who know me know I like funny cat videos more than I like the French or Solar Furnaces.

So look out for Maru, the fat Japanese Scottish Fold cat with mad, er, something skills to tickle you! He can sure jump in a box! Watch the finishing leg position! EXCELLENT!

Here is the link to his owner's Channel. You can watch all of Maru's videos. Watch him drink! Watch him lie in a sink! Watch him jump in more boxes! Watch him walk around with a bag on his head!

EXCELLENT! http://www.youtube.com/user/mugumogu#

Baby Pigmy Hippo!

Comment from Cute Overload! :)

"Yeeeeeaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!

How on EARTH are those women silently washing him/her??? There should be massive amounts of squee-ing, bathy-bath sounds, scubbity-ubbity-chubbity commentary, etc. They are...stoic! [and lucky!!!]"

Candypop Creations

Love this knitting. Knitting things - who knew it would be an internet phenomenon? But it is. I've seen knitted superhero wear. But this is certainly some of the cleverest knitting I've ever seen.

A sandwich?

Mr. Potato Head?

Viking baby?

Cynthia Rae, you ROCK!

Spagetti Cat

Here's what happens when you say something bad on Fox Morning Show. They not only bleep it, they cover the entire ugly incident with a picture of a black cat eating spaghetti. Really.

Expect this to be a major internet phenomenon. And possibly the geeky-coolest Halloween costume this year.

ManBabies

Well, yesterday we covered the relatively new phenomenon of Robocop and Unicorn, and today we resurrect the old ManBabies site, because some still haven't seen it.

If you like LOLcats, you will like manbabies.

If fact, if you just like seeing big babies holding little men, you will LOVE this site. And who doesn't like that?

Robocop/Unicorn

Yes, you read correctly. Robocop and Unicorn are united in a meme that is sweeping the internet.

I don't know why. But in case you wanted to see it, or better yet, read about it, here it is! What gets into people's heads?
