It’s a bit early for Halloween videos, but I couldn’t help myself:

The host believed she was interviewing an expert on MP3 downloading, but somehow a cab driver ended up being mistaken for the expert (who was white). Pretty damn funny to watch his reaction as the cab driver learns who he is being mistaken for.

Someone showed me this clip for an ad contest for Firefox. I can’t stop laughing at the “find your ideal match” guy. This deserves to win the contest!

Now this is friggin awesome:

Here’s something that brought a laugh while doing research for my biofluids term paper. I typed in hemodynamics (relating to the flow of blood within the organs and tissues of the body). What does spell check show as a correction? “Homo dynamics.” I don’t even want to ask what the definition of that is…

It’s amazing how paranoid my parents get.

So last Friday, I went to work to fill up my time sheet doing some work. But all that day, I was sneezing up a storm. I couldn’t stop sneezing, and my eyes were tearing up a lot; I looked like I was crying the whole day. So only an hour into work, I decided to depart. However, I left in such a rush that I left my cell at work. So for the whole weekend, I was “off the grid”. And a weekend is all my parents need apparently need to set off the alarms.

I normally don’t get many calls, being the shy guy I am. But come Monday, after I dash to work to find my cell, I noticed that I had 25 missed calls. “Popular guy” originally went through my head; then I came back to my senses. I look at the call list, and not too many unfamiliar numbers. So much for “popular guy”… LOL. Top of the list is “Home.” So maybe my mom called recently. Then I notice the number ’15′ next to the date, telling me they called 15 times. I left the call list, and then noticed I had 10 voice mails. At this point I kinda freaked out, because maybe something bad happened at home and they were desperately trying to reach me.

Turns out, it was the mirror image of my fears. First voice mail was from my dad, letting me know my mom called. Second voice mail was from my dad again, letting me know they called a few more times. Third voice mail was a hangup (a sign that my mom called). Fourth voice mail was from my mom, saying she was worried. Fifth voice mail was another hangup. Sixth voice mail was from my dad again. Seventh voice mail was from my sister, saying my parents were wondering where I was. Eighth voice mail was another hangup. Ninth voice mail was from my brother, trying to check up on me (but I knew my parents wanted him to call). Tenth was my mom again. The frequency of these voicemails increased a lot, from one on Friday, to 2 on Saturday, to 7 on Sunday.

So, apparently my parents thought I went missing or worse. My sister said that they were even getting ready to drive 4 hours down here just to make sure I’m okay. And this was only one weekend off the grid. It’s kind of amusing that they’d worry so quickly. Sometimes being the baby of the family sucks. I can be 4 hours completely away from my parents, but my cellphone still acts as a wireless tether.

Man, I’ve heard that student-run media can suck at times, but this sports report by Michael Collins really ranks high up on the unprepared meter. It’s both humorous and painful to watch him go through the newscast. Check out his reaction at the end too, totally hilarious.

Some people just shouldn’t be on television. But then again, you know you are awesome if you have a catch phrase coined after something you say.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Secret Service, which has the job of guarding the president and other dignitaries, now has a new temporary duty — protecting a mother duck and her nine eggs.



The duck, a brown mallard with white markings, has had several names suggested by Treasury Department people, including “Quacks Reform,” “T-Bill,” and “Duck Cheney.” It has built a nest in a mulch pile right at the main entrance to the Treasury Department on Pennsylvania Avenue.

The Secret Service’s uniformed division, which provides protection for the White House and Treasury building, has set up metal guard rails to protect the nest, which has attracted the notice of tourists on their way to see the White House.

The duck has been provided with a water bowl and seems oblivious to all the attention, sitting calmly on its nest on top of the mulch pile that surrounds one of the new trees planted along Pennsylvania Avenue as part of a renovation project.

Treasury Secretary John Snow stopped to pay his respects this week on the way back from a congressional hearing, Treasury spokesman Rob Nichols said Friday.

“He had been briefed on the duck and he stopped to pay a visit,” said Nichols.

The eggs are expected to hatch the last week of April at which time the duck will be relocated nearer water. But until then, the duck will occupy some of Washington’s prime real estate.

“Foreign leaders, members of Congress, everybody who visits Treasury has to pass by the duck,” Nichols said.
