I can’t believe I’m linking to something that Justin Timberlake is part of - but I love this clip:

SNL - a special Christmas box

(yes, I know it’s been on youtube for months - but i’m a late youtube bloomer)

sorry MythBusters… but you’ve lost my heart to Top Gear who actually managed to properly test the myth that the thrust of a jet engine could blow a car so hard that it flies.

As the wikipedia site for the MythBusters states: “This was the first myth in which the MythBusters were neither able to confirm nor bust the results due to logistics reasons.” It took them a whole episode to work out that it was perhaps plausible. Those who have seen the episode will remember how disappointing the episode was.

The Top Gear guys do it right in less than five minutes. You can see the episode legally at the BBC website (click “Stunts” then “747 vs cars”).
I feel more content with life now ;)

quote of the day

Whether women describe themselves as straight or lesbian, “Their sexual arousal seems to be relatively indiscriminate — they get aroused by both male and female images,” Dr. Bailey said. “I’m not even sure females have a sexual orientation. But they have sexual preferences. Women are very picky, and most choose to have sex with men.” (from NY Times article)
