I would so not put it past them at this point.

Reminds me of the classic Pac Man: the Movie trailer.

Wow, this is... interesting.

Wreck-It Ralph trailer.

They had me at Clyde.

This is pretty good.

I'd watch that movie.

My new favorite quote... for now... (Apologies if this is old hat, just found it and I like it like that...)

I normally don't watch these cut pieces, but this is a funny one: Barack Obama "singing" Call Me Maybe.

A time lapse map showing every nuclear bomb ever exploded.

Interestingly, the US accounts for over half of them. By the end the map looks like America and Russia have launched major nuclear wars against their own people...

I would have guessed that anyway.

I understand the need to test a nuclear bomb from the stock pile periodically, but that seems excessive on America and the USSR's part.

For a whole lot of them it's not a matter of testing so much as developing. You notice that a LOT of the detonations are in the 50s. The US was in the process of moving from the huge and very inefficient World War II style weapons to much smaller, more practical bombs. And then developing the hydrogen fusion weapons, and making them practical in turn. This isn't stuff you could just do on paper and expect it to work - a lot of the science and design issues were very theoretical, and ultimately they just had to try things and see what worked.

Oh, yeah. I've seen that one. I don't wanna say it's scary... excuse me, dictionary time!

Wow, what a dick. I hope the driver got caught.

What's Jaywalking?

What's Jaywalking?

Jaywalking is crossing a street without regards to traffic. Instead of crossing at a light, you cross in the middle of the street. Or you walk through the traffic instead of the crosswalk. Or crossing the street when the traffic lights say "Don't Walk." For a coupe of months in the 90's, the NYPD could issue a ticket to anyone caught jaywalking.

I like how the two guys watching basically do not move. There is no reaction by them to the original nudge, the runover or the kick to the face.
