Kenny vs Spenny - One of My New Favorite Shows

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

I love stuff like Johnny Knoxville’s “Jackass” and Bam Margera’s “CKY” videos. I recently started watching a show called Kenny vs Spenny on Comedy Central. I had no idea that the show had been airing in Canada for 3 previous seasons. South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are probably the only reason why the show made it onto American television via Comedy Central. The first time I caught Kenny vs Spenny on tv was when I was bored and flipping through channels trying to find something to watch. I turned the channel to Comedy Central and stumbled onto something that quickly became one of my favorite shows. Netflix currently has Kenny vs Spenny season 1 (from 2003) in case anyone didn’t know.

If you haven’t seen Kenny vs Spenny, here is a random clip from the show:

Thailand Government Blocks Access to YouTube

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

Some of you may have heard about this, but apparently the Thai government has blocked access to YouTube after a video was found to be critical of the country’s king. Kind of ridiculous if you ask me.

Communications Minister Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom said the site was banned after a 44-second film showing graffiti over the king’s face was aired.

King Bhumibol Adulyadej, 79, is revered and it is forbidden to insult him.

The minister said a ban came after the Thai government asked YouTube’s owner Google to remove it and they declined…

Coke Machine Jackpot

Some of you may have already heard about this, but i found it pretty interesting. It is a trick you can do on a vending machine to make it spit out change. Of course, this would be illegal to actually try, but its interesting none the less.

Great Pockets

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

I came across a hilarious website today, www.GreatPockets.com. They advertise some huge pockets to carry all your stuff around, such as your laptop (yes, pockets that big).

At first i thought it was a real website and i was asking myself “what are they thinking?” but then it turned out to be a Nokia ad. Pretty funny.

Here is a video clip from the website:

Prisoners trade hostage for cigarettes

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

This is an interesting article from CNN.com. Hard to believe it has come to this. I mean, cigarettes?

JOHNSON CITY, Tennessee (AP) — Two inmates housed in a smoke-free prison traded a hostage for cigarettes after a six-hour standoff.

Billy Grubb, 32, and Bradley Johnson, 25, attacked the guard Monday night, said Howard Carlton, warden of the Northeast Correctional Complex.

“As the night progressed they started saying, ‘Look, we’ll give up if you let us have some tobacco. If you do that, we’ll go back to our cell,”‘ Carlton said. “They got them some cigarettes, they smoked them and went back to their cell and locked themselves back in.”

An investigation into how the inmates got out of their cell and their motive for attacking the guard continued Wednesday. Both are in prison for murder.

Prisons across the state are instituting no-smoking policies after the Legislature passed a law banning smoking in state buildings.

Sword Swollowing, A Risky Job

Friday, January 5th, 2007
FromWhatIHeard.com - Sword Swollowing. a risky jobI found a very interesting article on Softpedia about sword swollowing and how dangerous it can be. Check it out:Sword swallowing is indeed a dangerous job.

And costly, too.

An investigation showed that sword swallowers are more likely to sustain an injury, such as a perforation of the oesophagus or pharynx if they are distracted or are using multiple or unusual swords.

SSAI (Sword Swallowers’ Association International) recognize only those sword swallowers who can swallow a non-retractable solid steel blade at least two centimeters wide and 38 centimeters long.

English Medical literature cites only two case reports of injury resulting from sword swallowing, despite the obvious danger. Forty-six SSAI members took part in the study investigating the side-effects of sword swallowing.

19 had experienced sore throats whilst learning, many had suffered lower chest pain following some performances, and six had suffered perforation of the pharynx and oesophagus, one other was told a sword had almost touched the heart.

The study revealed that these injuries occurred either when swallowers used multiple or unusual swords, or when they were distracted.

One swallower lacerated his pharynx when trying to swallow a curved sabre whilst another suffered lacerations after being distracted by a ‘misbehaving’ macaw on his shoulder.

The average age of the sword swallowers involved in the study was 31, most were self-taught and had learned the skill at an average age of 25 years, with nine learning the skill as teenagers.

There was no link between height and the length of sword swallowed; the longest sword swallowed was 60 centimeters.

As three members of SSAI paid hospitalization bills varying from £12,000 – £37,000 (23,000 – 70,000 US dollars), this is indeed a costly occupation!
