Peep Wars

What's Easter without a few Peeps? Those sickeningly sweet yellow masses of moosh that rot your teeth and cause young children to climb walls.

Hey! I know. Let's put a couple of 'em in the mike and see what happens.

I give you, "Peep Wars!"

(Note: Kinda funny... kinda stupid... but what the heck. Have a great Easter!)


FetchBot 9000

How do you give your little sausage dog some exercise while you're busy? One inventor-type devised what he calls the FetchBot to keep his low-slung canine in shape.

Great fun and it's fun for the kids.

Too bad the little tiny dog at the end of the video didn't climb aboard for a ride. Now that I'd like to see.





Google office in Zurich

This one goes out to all you cubicle rats who have to run a maze every time you gotta go to the can or get a coffee. Google, as we all know, is a gigantic company, much hated by Microsoft, who comes up with clever and cool ways to do things we thought never could be done. Many times offering the stuff for free.

So what's it like to work for Google? First, there are the interview questions, the likes of which will leave a MENSA veteran scratching his head. If the prospective candidate is accepted, the office environs are second to none. Employees are known to spend sometimes 20 hours a day at the job. Most of the amenities (pop, food, etc.) are free.

So what does it look like inside the Google office? Check out a great pictorial of their office in Zurich, Switzerland.

Gym hoop

Gym hoop. Is it a sport? Is it art? Is it dance? Call it a "sprance."

Shown below is a video of a gym hoop performance with quite a different outcome.



Spy Hunter Pontiac

Spy Hunter was a game in the arcades in the early '80s. Perhaps you've heard of it. Perhaps you've played it. Perhaps it bankrupted you.

Some marketing dude at GM had a brain tremor and decided to have Spy Hunter sell the new Pontiac G8.

I must say that it makes for a pretty cool commercial, shown below.

And Rugby ain't one of 'em.

These are sports that, up until now, I've never heard of and I doubt you have as well.

These sports are from regions of the world familiar to us all, but the whole concept of the sport is beyond reasoning.
