Where the hell is that dancing guy?

WheretheHellisMatt.com is a pretty entertaining lil' website. So this guy Matt becomes an internet phenomenon by dancing in different places 'round the world and then gets sponsored by chewing gum company to do it some more. Neat huh? Check out his blog about his travels. It's a look into the quirky mind of a charming geek.

A Monster of a Different Kind

I found this article a while back and somehow I found it again. Weird. Like it's stalking me. Utterly random.

Vacation

Howdy -

If you haven't noticed, I'm taking some time off to work on my final project for school. See you when I'm done!

Shinji-San in the Land of Indeterminate Duration

A friend introduced me to this early Flash cartoon based on Buddhist principals. It was made in 1999. How far we've come from this primitive style! Still... every now and then I need to go back and watch. The story is bizarre (but you must have noticed I like that kind of thing by now). The soundtrack is really great, too.

"Sieg Miaow"?

"Does your cat look like Adolf Hitler? Do you wake up in a cold sweat every night wondering if he's going to up and invade Poland? Does he keep putting his right paw in the air while making a noise that sounds suspiciously like "Sieg Miaow"? If so, this is the website for you."

I couldn't have said it better myself. Why don't you take a look?

Schadenfreude

I'm sure you never laugh at other people. Ever.

So I'm sure you won't be laughing at the Craig's List users who write ads, rants, and raves worthy of the Best of Craigslist.com.

You'd never laugh at stories of overheard intercourse, insect infestations, miserable co-workers, etc. Nor would you snigger at the description of vintage orange armchairs written by someone who really should be writing for the Simpsons instead of selling off furniture from their front yard.

By far this is one of the unsung gems of the internet, possibly because of the text format. But honestly, I'm glad. Some of things described are things I'd never really want to see.

And if you're feeling up to it, why not write your own 2 cents and share it with the nation.

C'mon - visit the Best-of. I promise it'll keep you busy for at least ten minutes.

schadenfreude \SHOD-n-froy-duh\, noun:
A malicious satisfaction obtained from the misfortunes of others.

Engrish Locks!

Engrish refers to the grammatically incorrect variation of English often found in East Asian countries. While the term may refer to spoken English, it is more often used to describe written English, for which problems are easier to identify and publicize. Engrish has been found on everything from poorly translated signs, menus, and instruction manuals to bizarrely worded advertisements and strange t-shirt slogans.

Now that you know about Engrish, I'dlike to share one of my all-time favorite websites. You guessed it - Engrish.com. The site celebrates some of the funniest English phrases ever generated. Guaranteed to make you laugh.

Don't forget tostop by the Engrish.com store and take the experience to your own body. After all...

Train Your Fish

Goldfish are supposed to have a three-second memory, right? Small animal, small brain, not much room for intellect. Certainly training one would be out of the question...

Nope.

You can train a gold fish to do all kinds of tricks. Other types of fish are readily trainable, too. Weird, huh?

Check out this gold fish trainer from Japan showing off his little synchronized swimmers:


Now you're ready to try it on your own finned pets, right? Get your fish into fish school. This website has everything you need to train your fishy friends to play soccer, do the limbo or eat from your hand.

More of the bookish type? Grab this out-of print book whenever you see it on eBay: How to Train Goldfish Using Dolphin Training Techniques. This book was written by a scientist who worked with dolphins. One day he got the brilliant idea to try his training techniques on fish - et voila - a book on fish training.
