The idea behind ManBabies.com is simple. Swap heads of men and babies then display the resulting image. How they came up with the idea is beyond me.
It’s frighteningly bizarre, but intriguing at the same time.

You have 15 minutes to name all the elements.
That was hard. I’m embarrassed by my poor performance, so I won’t share it. After the 2 minute mark I came up empty.
I just saw the United States test where you get 10 minutes to name all 50 states. While I didn’t get all [...]

Here are a bunch of quizzes that are fun to take, but I wouldn’t put much stock in the results. The “how many X can you name in 5 minutes” seem like they’d be easy, but I quickly slowed down after 45 seconds to a minute.

Rinkworks has done it again. First it was The Dialectizer, now it’s Movie a Minute.
The idea is simple. Provide short (and I do mean short) summaries of movies.
Here’s Citizen Kane.
Orson Welles: Rosebud. (dies)
Reporter: What does it mean?
Everybody Else: We don’t know.
THE END
Classic.

Some of these pictures are funny in their own right. The captions make them hilarious.

This was pretty funny.

View At is the most impressive panoramic photo viewer I’ve seen. You can set it to full screen and spin all the way around as if you were actually standing where the photographer stood.

Argh matey, it be the day to talk like a pirate. Avast and argh.

This video transcends words.

This trick was pretty cool. Take a look.

I tried uploading a few pictures to Simpsonize Me but it mocked my photo and refused to load it. Okay, it didn’t mock my photo, but it returned a snarky retort saying that it failed to load and to try again. I tried again. And again. And again.

Here’s the Spanish Castle Illusion.
Look at the black dot for a few seconds, then mouse over the image. Until you move your eyes, it’s in color. Too bad there wasn’t something like this for black and white TV.

I realize that videos of the Star Wars kid got old real fast, but this one was especially well done. I love the reactions of Luke and Obi Wan. It’s as if they’re really watching the kid do his thing. And the music is great.

If you ever have the urge to play the drums and you don’t have a drum set handy, this is the site for you.

Some days you’re courageous and in control. Other days a donkey leans in to say hello and you freak out.

This video reminds me of a flash mob, but with the laugh track I’m guessing it’s some sort of prank TV show like Candid Camera where they record people’s reactions to an instant group of people that appears out of nowhere.

I wonder what kind of liability coverage they had in case the guy who was [...]

The ASCII-o-matic converts an image (has to be 60 x 50 jpg) into ASCII art.
Here’s one I did of my Nissan 300ZX.

Update: Here’s another image to ASCII converter that doesn’t have so many restrictions on the original size of the image, but the output didn’t look as good.

Using the instructions found here you can make any web site go a little crazy. It should work on most sites.

Here’s a cool little flash game where you drag the circles around, and have some fun.

As a gimmick to promote Dark chocolate M&Ms they created a game where you try to identify the 50 dark movies represented in imaginative ways in the painting. For instance, there are a few sheep with headphones on, so you click in that general area and type in “Silence of the Lambs”. Ding! [...]

Here’s an overview of fads that have overtaken the younger generation (and in some cases the older generation as well).
Some examples of fads (not necessarily on the list) that were popular when I was a kid in school: Ant farms, super ball collections, marbles, garbage pail kids, wacky wall walkers and chapstick containers converted into [...]

Apparently I have a non-accent. The funny part is that I grew up in the Northeast, and that’s where I have the least similarity. There are some strong accents in the area, but I just never picked them up.

There are some things that make an office an office, like a computer, a stapler, paper clips, sticky notes, a printer, that sort of thing. Then there are things that make an office fun. I had no idea so many items existed for that purpose, but the Office Playground has hundreds, and they’re [...]

In Spaceballs, the ship has four speeds: sub-light speed, light speed, ridiculous speed and ludicrous speed. If this list were measured in Spaceball speeds, it would be ludicrous speed. These are very hard, and I would be astounded if anyone was able to guess them all. Even someone who is familiar with [...]

When I was younger we used to watch several Disney animated shorts during the Christmas break, including Mickey’s Christmas carol, Donald Duck’s Christmas, one with Pluto and Chip and Dale, and Goofy in the art of skiing. We were looking for them at the library without much luck, but then I looked on YouTube [...]

Here are the answers to name that Christmas carol.

Jingle Bells

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

To celebrate the holiday season I’ve compiled a list of 25 Christmas carol acronyms. I realize similar lists are floating around, but this was a fun way for me to get into the spirit of the Christmas season.
My guess is that most people have heard of all of these carols, so with enough effort, [...]

Here’s Santa lip syncing Irvin Berlin’s White Christmas (sung by the Drifters) with his reindeer on backup vocals. The movie was created by Joshua Held.

I just found out that there’s a house with Christmas lights set to music a mere 3 miles from where I work. To hear the music you just tune to a radio frequency (like at drive-in movies) then sit back and enjoy the show.
I saw the first video below a few years ago and [...]

I found this image quite humorous.

I realize it’s not scrambled, but I couldn’t think of another witty description, so it will have to do.

I received the following brain teaser by e-mail and posted it to my brain teasers page. I hadn’t yet figured it out and hoped someone else would help me out.
Well, it’s now exactly one month from when I received it, and yesterday I finally got the answer. I wouldn’t dream of ruining the [...]

I’ve updated my riddles and brain teasers pages to make it easier to view the answer and I added more of them. There are a few that I don’t know the answer to, so feel free to take a crack at them and let me know if you figure it out.

In honor of Halloween, here’s a game of Halloween Hangman. My best score was a 190, but I got one of the words without missing a letter. The skeleton taunts you after you miss a letter, but he needs a few more insults. He started repeating them so much it became annoying.

Those Japanese are a funny bunch. Their recipe for a game show is quite simple: Say a tongue twister without any mistakes or get whacked in the kiwis.

Another Japanese game show recipe is to go to the library and draw cards to see who has to do the painful and/or unpleasant activity.

They also enjoy [...]

MyHeritage has a celebrity face recognition tool where you can do two things.
1. Upload your photo and find out which celebrity you resemble the most
2. Upload a photo featuring one or more celebrities and watch MyHeritage.com identify them
Number one was fun at first, but the more I played with it, the worse it seemed to [...]

Actors from a TV show called The Office (I’ve never seen it) are in two spoofs of Microsoft training videos. They’re funnier every time I watch them, and the outtakes are hilarious. (Note: There is some profanity) They’re fairly long (20 and 17 minutes) so I was going to suggest skipping right [...]

First off, it’s nice to see TIME magazine using YouTube. They have 10 juggling videos of the brother and sister team, Vova and Olga Galchenko, as they grow up juggling together. Some claim they are the best juggling team to have ever lived.
Wikipedia has more information about the juggling duo.

If someone says you’re worth your weight in gold, do you know how much that is? If your answer is no, here’s a web site where you can calculate it. Just enter your current weight and it will tell you your weight in gold based on the current spot price (I hadn’t realized [...]

1. Watch the video below.

2. Look away when the instructions tell you to.
It’s cool, but kind of weird too.

Do you know what your name looks like in Japanese?
I didn’t either until I found this site. I used both Dan and Daniel. I’m not a fan of Danieru, the Japanese pronunciation for Daniel. It makes my name sound like a Pokemon.
This is what the name “Dan” looks like in Japanese:

It is [...]

There’s a new car on the market, known as the Mitsubishi I, and it is a truly hideous beast. If, as their marketing states, it embodies someone’s self-expression, I don’t want to meet them.
That reminded me of the car tipping fiasco with the Smart Car, where a smart car enthusiast posted about how his [...]
