Chalkboard fighter

"Aww yuuken" - I can just hear Ryu screaming when I look at these pictures.

Usain Bolt 100m record

Usain Bolt sets a new record for the 100 meter race in this year's Olympic finals. First of all, this guy wins simply by having the last name "Bolt". How cool is that. The big story is of course how big his margin of victory was. He made the guys running this in 10 seconds look slow.

So here's the race:

 

Here's a slow motion replay that shows how fast he actually was. Amazing.

Levitation - More common than you think

Ah! The over the bed levitation trick. I should try this some time. (Click for larger images)

She is sad because she can not do it tooThe only thing she hated about levitation was that it messed up her hair.The comforter was so loud it kept him suspended off the bed.Stan was terrified of his new ability

I was inspired by the first image. The guy looks insane. Then to my suprise I find out that there's an entire website devoted to people doing just this very thing. BedJump.com. Yeah, it's pointless but everyone does it. So go look at the monkeys jumping on the bed over there.

DJ Spock

Spock knows that laying down smooth tracks and mixing up the hits is highly illogical and simply appeals to humans emotions. Still he doesn't mind scratching out some beats if it keeps the Enterprise running smoothly. Watch out on the transporter deck. Spock is likely to send you to a dance floor.

Daft Punk Charleston

Daft Punk meets the Charleston. I love these mash-ups. This one works perfectly and almost makes you want to try out this dance. Well, except for the fact that I can't dance.

Mr T wants you to quit your pathetic jibba-jabba

Are you being a sissy? You better shape up and act like a real man or Mr T is going to smack the whiny jibber-jabber right out of you. These commercials are great. What could be more American than Mr T throwing Snicker candy bars at people from military equipment? Yeah, and we dont' feel sorry for the victims in these commercials. Mr T reminds us what it means to be manly, and that Snicker bars are yummy, and that we always liked watching the A-Team. All that stuff.

"Quit your jibba-jabba. You ain't hurt!" 

"It's time to run like a real man!"

If a pirate had a horse, he would name it “ARRRR”

Is this for real? I'm always joking with the kids about giving a horse a strange name just to hear the announcer say it over the loudspeaker. "On the outside it's HorseWithNoLegs in front". That would be funny. It looks like someone beat me to the punch. Ladies and gentlemen, here comes “Arrrr”
