Which is the harder question to answer:
Could a cute puppy do a passable job as Attorney General?
At this point, could Alberto Gonzales find work as a cute puppy stand-in?

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Fantastic Contraption where you are challenged to build a vehicle out of a few parts to move an object from one point to another. Created by Colin Northway with music and art by James Mark and Sarah Collins, respectively, the challenges start our easy but get difficult and interesting pretty fast. One avid workplace engineer reports that this is the most addictive online game he’s ever played.
This is flash freeware, but users have the opportunity to support the game’s designers and try user-created levels. Give it a shot and let us know what vehicles you create!
(Thanks VJ!)
Love them or hate them, videos of Japanese gameshows are hilarious – especially if you have NO CLUE what’s being said. Here’s a classic Human Tetris episode, with a defiant cast of characters doing whatever it takes (read: whatever they can) to win!
Apparently stateside media has noticed how popular Human Tetris is on YouTube, and has decided to create an American version. Annnnnnnnnd, true to form, the name will be simplified for what I assume must be a huge swath of American audiences who don’t know what Tetris is. Ladies and Gentleman, allow me to present Fox’s Hole in the Wall.
‘Nuff said – if you’re into that kind of thing. Here’s a skit from the ESPN Espy’s Award Show that broadcasted on Sunday. I’m choosing to believe that Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly ad libbed this skit, because they’re each funny enough to do it.
For one state in the dirty south, today is election day. This year I decided to get involved with rocking the vote and all that nonsense, and so I volunteered at a local voter rights organization. One of my duties involved calling registered voter to inform them of their voting location, and on my umpteenth call, I reached the voicemail of a 70s era pimp, named Rocky Knight. Here’s what pimps have to say on their voicemail:
You have reached the home of the Rocky Knight, the Rocky Knight is not available at this time. However, if you are close to the Rocky Knight, you know his cell phone number – use it at this time. Secondly, if you are calling to borrow money, to ask about money, or to look for money, don’t call the cell number. If you owe me money and wish to pay me my money, call the cell number. And, have a nice day!
I pity the fool…. who owes Rocky Knight money.
Known as Stripper Fail, this nsfw video will definitely have you laughing for quite a while. Don’t worry, there’s no nudity here – it’s much worse.
As we reported back on May 16th, Oscar Pistorius won the right to compete for a place in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Despite posting a personal best in his most recent meet (46.25 seconds for the 400-meter race), Oscar missed the Olympic qualifying standard for a spot on the South African Olympic team (45.55 seconds).
It is an unfortunate turn of events for Oscar, who has had to fight the Olympic Commission as well as other athletes for his shot at the Olympics, and while he will not have a chance to compete individually, there is still a chance that he will be selected for the six-man roster for the 1,600 meter relay.
Oscar has also said that he plans to compete for the South African team in individual events for the 2012 Olympics in London.
Good luck Oscar!
