Apparently this video comes from a demonstration in the 1992 Winter Games in Albertville, France and no medals were awarded.

I mean, why isn’t Ski Ballet a real Olympic sport alongside Ice Dancing or Curling? I, for one, wouldn’t mind seeing the announcers get all worked up over this, or seeing Dave Walker in one of those inspiring Visa commercials . . .

I stumbled upon this hilarious snapshot of life from the other Sean Taylor, and it was just too classic not to share.

Oh man.
From a recent volume of the DEA’s monthly publication Microgram Bulletin: ecstasy tablets in the form of our president’s head.

Yes, Barack Obama-shaped ecstasy.

LINK, LINK, and LINK

Right concept, wrong market: I have to confess that if someone actually made Barack Obama chewable vitamins or candies, I would totally buy them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ‘MERICA!!

You look good for 233 years old (not a day over 229 years old).

Watching a suburban neighborhood in Santa Cruz, CA attempt to re-enact scenes from “Apocalypse Now” with fireworks – drunk on gunpowder and patriotism – inspired me to look up a few things:

• AD 1044 - The Chinese Wujing Zongyao military compendium contains the oldest surviving recipe for gunpowder and also a description of how to use explosives-laden birds as weapons. [link]

• AD 1325 - The Chinese Huolong Jing military manual describes a weapon called Huolong Chu Shui “Fire Dragon Issuing from Water.” It had booster rockets that carried the dragon-shaped missile into enemy territory, then other charges ignited rocket-powered arrows which shot from the mouth of the dragon. [link]

• AD 1325 - The Chinese Huolongjing military manual describes a weapon called “Flying Crow with Magic Fire.” A crow-shaped wickerwork kite with rocket boosters beneath its wings – it delivered a tremendous explosion upon impact.

• Fireworks Colors - Modern fireworks are colored by mineral salts added to the explosive mixtures. REDS: strontium or lithium salts; ORANGES: calcium salts; YELLOWS: sodium salts; GREENS: barium or chromium salts; BLUES: copper salts; PURPLES: potassium salts or mixing strontium and copper salts; WHITES: barium oxide or powdered magnesium, titanium, or aluminum; GOLDS: powdered iron.
