The Lava Lamp on Jupiter March 8, 2010 at 9:22 pm

What would the internet be without a long list of useless things?  The latest entry on this list comes experiment in uselessness:

Will a Lava Lamp work on Jupiter?

To find out the answer to his life threatening question, Mr. Neil Fraser built a centrifuge.   It looks dangerous:

It’s impressive though, it measures in at over 3 meters in diameter, and over 50 kilograms.  As a side project, it is very capable of enriching your own uranium, which, is legal by the way.

Here is a video of this dangerous device of death in action:

And for those of you too lazy to click read his site, or watch the video, here’s the answer.

Yes, a lava lamp will work on Jupiter.

Now, let’s get this guy a government contract, because that centrifuge looks far to poor for any real scientific research to be conducted on.  And also, I want to know if the color green is really the color green on Saturn gravity.

Edward Gil, the Russian Singer March 4, 2010 at 9:56 am


I am so addicted to all things Russian right now.  So much so that Facebook automagically changed my Facebook language to Russian!

I kept it like that for alittle, then I couldn’t read anything, and changed it back.

I’m not sure how it changed, but it is alittle concerning.  Anyway, I don’t care anymore, time for more awesome Russian Things.

His face makes the whole thing so great.  I wish I knew what he was saying, but that gives me more reason to learn Russian in the coming years.

His name is Edward Gil, and he’s apparently pretty big in Russia, I believe that, because he’s very entertaining, at least to me.

I do not like him with sun glasses, you loose everything in his eyes.

Here’s one more.

Also, because it’s vaguely Soviet based, and I haven’t listened to it in about 2 weeks, here’s something you will hate:

The Clock Clock March 3, 2010 at 11:15 am

I was gonna call this post the Redundant clock, but I decided that that was just copying way too much the other 3 blog posts from where it came.

They also failed to write more then a sentence about this lovely piece of art, so that’s where I will change things.

For starters look at the elegance of it.  It’s simplicity is what makes it so elegant.  The lack of numbers, makes you think, and that’s the whole purpose of it, to think of the time.  I realize that this paragraph makes no sense at all, but that’s why you read my blog for the senseless rambleings of me.

Now I will take this time to add a link to this cool Russian clock problem.  (Yes, I am currently obsessed with Russia)  Whoever buys me anything from this eBay search will be loved forever.

The problem is to draw two straight lines on the clock face so that the sums of the numbers in each part are equal.

It took some time, but not as much as I figured, and I was able to get an answer.  Hopefully it’s correct.

The 2010 Olympic Stumble Event! February 23, 2010 at 11:32 pm

Its time again for the best stumbles in the history of the internet.  These fine stumbled pictures are up there for humor, love, wrongness, Nazi, and cute.  Only one can take home the gold, and end the post.  That picture has the responsibility to hold off the other stumbles until i write the next one, whenever that is.  So without further rambling on my part,

The Flashlight Gun February 15, 2010 at 8:08 pm

Fit’s in you’re back pocket, so when you’re out for you walk and it gets bad,  BAM! you’re good.

Apparently this gun, the FMG-9 is a prototype from 2008 and nothing’s come of it since.  That’s all fun and games, but really, why do you need it?

Elektronik Supersonik February 5, 2010 at 10:51 am

I’m not sure if the video is bad, or the song, but either way, this is entertaining!

And it’s supposed to be that way.  Just watch that whole video, and if you aren’t laughing like crazy, you aren’t a real human.

Also, to make it even better, watch it on YooouuuTuuube.com, where I found it, it’s waaayyy better tiled across your screen forever!

Also, the song is called Elektronik Supersonik by Zlad, Santo Cilauro.

Mini Golf in a Funeral Home? January 27, 2010 at 10:07 am

Miniature Golf is one of those fun awesome games you play on vacation.  Well, you can also play it at a funeral.  Well, in the basement of a funeral home anyway.  The place is called Ahlgrim Acres, and it’s located in Palatine Illinois.  It’s a public course open when there is no funeral in progress, and I can say, that’s comoforting, because honestly, would you want to be a kid, and your grandpa dies, and you go to the funeral home, and your parents say, “Why don’t you go play in the basement kids, it’ll be no fun up here”  Hell you’re probably scared of your own basement, let alone the one at a place where they keep dead people.

How fitting.

They scythe on the wall back there, yea that’s comforting.

What mini golf course would be complete without a windmill?

Just watch the video, and then comment on it, you will be happy you did.

I don’t know who wrote it, but it’s very good.  It fits the original.  Also, the editing is very well done.

Peter Rabbit the Tank Killer January 20, 2010 at 11:54 pm

Peter Rabbit cover

Here is a tale of a boy rabbit that goes against his mother’s wishes, and goes to kill Panzer tanks.  It’s a story of love, and hate, and death and destruction.  Peter Rabbit Tank Killer.  You should read it now.  For history’s sake, I have re-posted all the panels of book below, so that in case anything happens to the original post, we can still relive the glory that is this Nazi Killing Rabbit.

I honestly laughed out loud when I stumbled to this site, enjoy.

21 Stumbles on the wall January 5, 2010 at 3:12 pm

We welcome in the new year with the latest iteration of Stumbles.  This is number 21 (give or take), and this is year 2010, so let’s see where it takes us.  Alittle history:

  • 1 year ago today we were at only stumble 8, and now we’re up to 21, impressive!
  • Imagechan makes it’s triumphant return after a year away
  • This has a gif, a 4chan, a 3 memes and some advice

Hopefully there will be some awesome things in store for 201.  I’m already working on 3 or 4 posts that I think  are great.  And let’s not forget the conclusion to the exciting events of World War IIb.  So sit back, relax, and watch the wrongness fly
