• Commented on In the eye of the beholder
  I didn't really get the "mafia" aspect of this at first, and I was thinking how strange it would be to need to apologize to your boss that much. I mean, I figured I would just be fired and that's...
• Commented on Rushkoff on "The Great Facebook Land Grab of Aught-Nine"
  Not to be another college student saying "I had facebook before you did" but for all the non college students out there...well, I did. The allure of facebook to me 4 years ago was the college exclusivity to it. You...

  Yeah, Powell's always wins the contest for "ridiculously large and multi-faceted" bookstores. Sorry, but true. But praise should be given to any bookstore that thrives, none the less!...
• Commented on Loop of Disney video that rips off other Disney video
  It seems like this would help make a new movie feel like an old favorite instantly. I don't think that was they intended (to brainwash people into loving the new film by using scenes from an older one) I just...

  Edward Cullen is real. When enough 14 year old girls scream about a male vampire for long enough, their screams and tears make him become a real vampire. Little known vampire legend....
• Commented on Driving from Brooklyn to Oregon next week; What weird should I espy?
  Welcome to Eugene! It's great weather here right now, perfect time to come. That being said, by next week we may be in rain season again. I would second or third everyone else who said to drive through Utah, near...

• Commented on Our Food is Full of Crap. Also, Rodent Hair, Mildew, and Bugs.
  @9 I totally agree. We are biologically "programmed" to be disgusted by our bodily fluids. Although I heard that the only one humans are okay with touching (of their own, or another persons) is tears. I suppose because there is...

• Commented on Bizarre sports videos

• Commented on Japan's scariest suspension bridge
  @ 9 I watched that video, which was a BAD IDEA. Amazing footage, but now I feel faintish and like I'm going to throw up. Some people are afraid of snakes, I am afraid of cliffs and crumbling pathways along...

  That scared me at first! I thought it was going to be some creepy bug or infection or bacteria or something....
• Commented on Zack! Zack! He's a LEGO maniac!
  We have a version of this one our homemade tape of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. Except it shows how extreme of a LEGO maniac Zack is because he plays LEGOS all night, to the light of flashlight! At least...

• Commented on Video of exotic fruits and the obsessives who hunt them
  I was an exchange student in Ecuador for a year, so I completely understand the world of exotic fruits. My two favorite Ecuadorian fruits cannot be found in North America, which is a shame, to say the least. First, naranjilla,...
