Australia Blackout Dexember 2012
(West Poondongwalla, Australia) – Strutts News Services
Only the wealthiest of the wealthy were able to keep their lights on when the entire power grid of Australia failed just days ago, and no one knows why the continent now glows blue. Some locals blame global warming, while others point accusatory fingers at The Mayans for their probably prophetic Calendar of Doom that caused the utility companies of Oz to hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete simultaneously and just for the hell of it.
In any case, the well-to-do panicked wisely and moved inland to avoid the rising seas that subsequently swamped the coastal regions.
[There’s more info here that can’t possibly be true. Related post here.]

Saturday Matinee – AGW Explained, Pug Sings Batman Theme, Jackson Browne & David Lindley Rip Off Originals, The Everly Brothers Rip Off Jackson Brown & The Original Zodiacs Rocked
Okay, before some copyright dweeb tries to attack me for slander, that title is pure sarcasm. It’s a joke.
I hadn’t seen this entertaining summary, but apparently it’s been bouncing around the internest for a while.
[h/t whatever]
Here’s a Blast from the Past, and it’s exactly as I remember it.
[h/t John DiFool]
Here’s a video that I bet you’ve not seen. Jackson Browne with David Lindley, live on Buenafuente, singing a compilation of Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs’ “Stay” and “Love Is Strange,” a 1957 hit by Mickey & Sylvia. (Note that the original version of “Stay” was the shortest song – 99 seconds – ever to become a No. 1 Hit.)
Here’s “Love Is Strange” <—-click) as performed by The Everly Brothers:
“Stay” is perhaps the greatest doowop song of all time, given the amount of doo and the wopness, all compressed into a hit that runs a minute and a half plus 9 seconds. There is only one vid on the Utoobage of the original performance, and here it is:
That makes the requisite number of five videos complete. Have a great weekend folks, and be back here tomorrow for more stuff.
Pipe Dream
It probably has something to do with man-made climate changers or sump’m. Don’t worry, tho, bro. Obama’s gonna fix ‘er. He said so.

Wall of China
Makes all kinda sense to me. She’s one of those folks who believes that if all the Chinese jump into the air at the same time the Earth’s orbit would be changed forever and we’d, um, have to do something about it, like tell her to stop. [Image found here.]
Waterworld
Sorry, it’s just not the same.

H.R. 4997 (ih), currently under review, proposes a requirement that all cinematic movie theaters replace standard xenon arc lamps with energy saving fluorescent bulbs or tubes and to retrofit the projectors with “kinetoscope” discs, rotated via electrical motors powered by photovoltaic cells, to allow frame-by-frame illumination. Films that previously employed the standard 24 frames per second shall be reduced to 8 to 16 frames per second in order to shorten the length of the illumination power requirements.
