“… so we got a whole week of bad luck.”
[The Friday the 13th snark was coopted from Walt Kelly’s classic comic strip Pogo. Image from here – it’s a charcoal sketch by Vincent Van Gogh captioned “Worn Out: At Eternity’s Gate.”]
Swingin’ And Slingin’ The Hot Links
Horse rocks out to crappy dance music [via].
“Welcome to Kansas: Not as Flat as Delaware!”
How to multiply numerals with multiple digits graphically. Very cool. Now I can get rid of my TI Datamath.
Sorry to have to state the obvious, but the people who marched for “Climate Change” are idiots.
Interesting timelapse of Arizona weather [via].
Planets inside water droplets.
Very cool audio/visual display of pendulum motion [via]. Visual demo of sound waves, mathematical sine wave congruences, electronics, physics, gravity, art and bowling all in one. Surprising stuff happens about 1:00 in. There’s medical info in the video as well – one of the kids has whooping cough. I haven’t heard that sound since I was in 3rd grade. [A screencap of the video is the source of the top image.]
Saturday Matinee – Bébé Chouette, TrollfesT & Irma
“What the hell is dat?” Owls spot camera [via].
TrollfesT is a Norwegian folk metal band (according to Wiki) who want to party in Cabana, and “Solskinnsmedisin” translates to “Sunshine Medical” according to Mr. Google. Where the hell is Norwegia? Bunkarina’s boyfriend thought I might like it, and I did. If that was a bit much, here’s something a bit lighter.
Irma Pany is a singer-songwriter from Cameroon. “Save Me” is kinda catchy, and the video is kinda interesting [via].
Have a great weekend, and we’ll be back tomorrow with more blatant inanity.

Elvis Smells A Shirt.

Life On Jupiter In 1940
UFO CAUGHT ON TAPE
Clint Eastwood Talks To The Lucas
Interesting that every time I worked on my car my hands and forarms showed it and there was no camera around, but then I’m not Clint. The photo would be entirely believable if it were Chuck Norris because his cars piss oil and refill themselves automatically once he steps outside.

Cute Puppies
The World’s Ugliest Dog Contest celebrates its 25th anniversary today [21 June 2013] at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. Twenty-five plus “beauty challenged dogs are foregoing their usual beauty regimens in preparation.”
[Images and description found at the Ugliest Dog Contest Contenders. Note that all of them are members of the breed the missus refers to as “Kikmi Dogs.”]
Saturday Matinee – British Army Marching Band, The Wolfgangs & Devil On Wheels
Nice BAMB flashmob work in Cardiff, Wales, 5 October 2013, playing “Colonel Bogey,” a march written in 1914 and made famous in the movie “The Bridge On The River Kwai.”
Whenever I hear that popular tune, for some reason I think of psychobilly. Yeah. Let’s go there.
The Wolfgangs‘ “Cannibal Family” rocks it in this vid from 2011. Where do we go from here? How bout a hot rod / juvenile delinquent movie?
“Devil On Wheels” dates to 1947, features some vintage rods and sappy lessons.
In addition to being the first film about street racing youth, it is also notable for being one of the first films to feature actresses (Terry Moore & Noreen Nash) wearing bikini tops. [Wiki]
Have a great weekend, folks. We’ll do something different tomorrow.
