OMG: If This Doesn't Make You Emotional, You Don't Have A Soul
"Svefn g Englar" by Sigur Ros
This song seriously HAS to be my #2 song of all time. I can't listen to this song for my own personal reasons, but I came across this and I MUST post this. It's so beautiful. It give me such a spectacular feeling and I hope it does the same to you.
Live
And here it is, as it was meant to be heard in all its magnificence...worlds better than the live version. (Alos featured in Vanilla Sky)

David Blaine Is Bullshit
As of now, I officially reserve the right to not use asterisks instead of showing a full fowl-mouthed word. There goes that asterisk. Right in the fucking trash. Here's footage from David Blaine's "Dive Of Death" stunt that he performed Wednesday night. FAIL.
He's apparently unhappy with it. Shit, I couldn't care less about it and I was unhappy.
AP - "Blaine said his grand finale of diving from a platform 44 feet to the ground while attached to a harness didn't go according to plan. He was supposed to jump and, at 10 feet, be swept away by a bunch of helium-filled balloons.
Instead, he dangled awkwardly for a moment before disappearing in an ascent into the night sky.
Blaine said ABC, which aired the event in a two-hour special called "David Blaine: Dive of Death," had encouraged him not to dive because of high winds.
"I wasn't going to let everybody down, so I just jumped, and somehow the guys with the balloons made it work, and they pulled me slowly up and I went over into the park and they pulled me down," he said.
Blaine added: "I know that it didn't work right when all my friends called up and said, `Wait, what happened? I'm confused.'""
Again. F A I L.

This is an old video. I remember laughing my ass off to it, and I still can today. It's funny just to hear the nervous old guy describe it as "one of a kind." So please enjoy this mishap.

YES!: Master Of the Universe Classics
Celebrating 25 years of Grayskull, Mattel has launched a new line of He-Man action figures that make your 80's versions look downright retarded.
The Masters of the Universe Classics ($20) are fully detailed and articulated, landing somewhere between the originals and the crazy anime-inspired ones a couple years back. The first two available this fall will be He-Man and Beast Man, with one new figure going on sale every month. Why they're not starting it with Skeletor, I have no idea. Click pic for more.

Destruction Of The Esquire E-Ink Display
I recently posted about Esquire magazine selling their October issue with the cool e-ink display. This smart guy, who bought a bunch of issues and is currently making a profit from selling them on eBay, decides to destroy it.

Oprah Is An Idiot, And There's 9000 Penises
Oprah's dumbass somehow got fooled into reading something that was posted on her message board about pedophiles. Apparently this person is part of a pedophie "network" and says there's 9000 of them in this network that want to harm children.
Now, I don't expect any less from this woman. I don't expect her to know what the hell she's talking about. I don't expect her to know anything about the world around her. She's just OF those people. So thank you Oprah, so much, for saying "9,000 penises" on the air. And so your fat ass knows, "we do not forgive, we do not forget" is the group Anonymous.
And thank you for attempting to pump gas, further stressing my point.
I really enjoy how she complains about how much money gas costs.
Oh, Oprah. Suck it.

EXCELLENT: Some Dude Takes The Words Right Out Of My Mouth About The Joker Costumes You KNOW We're ALL Going To See This Year
I was actually going to blog about the inevitable Joker costumes that are going to be roaming around this Halloween as my third entry on 100 Things I've Thought About, but now I don't have to. This guy sums it up, divides it, multiplies it by .5 and subtracts it straight into my mouth. Bravo. Click pic.

Alien Planet: Found
Encircled in the picture above is the first planet from an alien solar system ever seen by humans. Located 500 light years from Earth, it's a planet eight times bigger than Jupiter. While it looks close to this sun-sized star in the picture, it's actually 11 times farther away from it than Neptune is from our sun. That = we're fucked. Click pic.

ZOMG! SO AWESOME! LAZERTAG!
Nerf darts at noon are fine and dandy, but real office warfare is done after hours in low light with the Lazer Tag Multiplayer Battle System ($80).
The new package includes two Phoenix LTX guns (with rumble pack, recoil feature, and manual reload option), a Pinpoint Sight (for better accuracy), and a Shot Blast attachment (to tag multiple targets at once and boost your hit damage). You can add an unlimited amount of guns for total co-worker mayhem, and you can sharpen your skills with the included video game module that hooks up to your TV for a first-person Lazer Tag game.
Now I can stop shooting squirrels and kittens with my bb gun. Wait. Aww shucks. Click pic.

Do You Remember The WWF's Jake 'The Snake' Roberts?
I'll bet you don't remember him like this. The footage after the jump shows a stumbling, overweight, rambling Roberts struggling to form a coherent sentence, while addressing the crowd moments before his match in the Firestorm Pro Wrestling league.
But the story behind the scenes is even more tragic. According to several sources, the 53-year-old legend was found passed out backstage moments before he was scheduled to perform. We're told when Snake was woken up, he was aggressive, violent and asking for "an 8-ball."
We're also told nearly two dozen empty airplane bottles of vodka were found by his gear.
During the match, Roberts was clearly unable to perform, barely responding to the barrage of "fake blows" he received from the other wrestler, J.T. Lightning. Around one minute into the match, Roberts' opponent -- clearly frustrated with the situation -- whispers to the ref to end the fight. Afterwards, Lightning grabbed the mic and told Roberts, "I've wrestled drug addicts ... you are a piece of s**t, Snake. You gypped these people. F**k you."
Ha. Wrestling is so fake. Click pic.
