Michael Bay Facts
Awesome.
It seems a successor to the ubiquitous Chuck Norris Facts meme has arisen. The target? Action movie director Michael Bay.
In the wake of the new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie a stream of Michael Bay Facts has been pouring out of twitter, and as with Chuck Norris Facts, most are hysterical.
Since Michael Bay Facts mock their target rather than revere him (he really is a shitty director, though I loved Transformers: ROTF), and since Michael Bay will never be bad-ass like Chuck Norris, I'm sure this meme will be quite short lived. With that in mind, get them while the getting is good. I see io9 has posted some of their favorites, and I'd like to do the same.
Garfield Minus Garfield is still hysterical… and depressing.
One might think strips from the comic Garfield, with said title character removed, would be a fleeting piece of humor that would quickly get old. Then again, one might find one's self to be incredibly wrong.
The Website is Down
I've watched and listened to many funny tech support videos and saved phone calls over the years, but even though this one is staged, its one of the funniest I've seen in a long long time. I love his Halo/linux/XP multitasking skills. This one is a little long, but every minute of it is golden.
ROFLCON: Lulz From Afar
If you're like me... then you really need some help, dude. But kidding and warped sense of humor aside, if you're like me then you a) love internet memes, and b) cannot make it to ROFLCON 2008 *ARRGGG*!
Fear not, dear friends, for you needn't An Hero nor sit at home alone in the dark all weekend. Instead, you can sit at home alone on the internet, watching live footage and updates and picture from ROFLCON all weekend!!!1SHIFT How fun?
Sauces include live video from ustream, a flickr pool, twitters, and bright kite. So as not to whore out other's hard work, go to roflcon.org for the links to these delicious little media morsels.
I'll be on most of these services as euicho, on and off over the weekend. If you see me on there, say hi!
This is you who tempted her!!!
This email was forwarded to my department (Network Operations) by a concerned user. Best spam ever? Or best viral horror movie marketing technique ever? You be the judge:
Subject: she has already gone to hospital...
Hello, [name deleted].
Listen to me carefully, i don't know what your name is, but i'll find you
and i'll cripple you, because this is you who tempted her!!!
She has already gone to hospital, you're next, this is evidence:

IIIII Just want to tell you how I’m feelin’
With the rick-roll sweeping the interwobbles, inciting shenanigans and leaving lulz in its wake, I thought I'd school you on its interesting origin!
The rick-roll, like a good 80% of all other hilarious memes on the internet, cometh from teh 4chan.
If you don't know what 4chan is, you're lucky. It is the asshole of the internet. Seriously, don't google it. Don't... I mean it. Okay, if you MUST, read this [NSFW]:.
I’d Hit it
If you've lurked on any image boards in the past you may have come across the "I'd hit it" or "I'd hit it... with a brick!" image macros. I have seen countless ones myself, however none have made me literally LOL like this one. I don't know the author, but enjoy:
Durmstrang’s Prize Pupil
This is an old picture but I just saw it today and HAD to image macro it. Plz imagine it in the standard "Bush" voice for full effect.
Kicking off TMWS Season 5 Old-School!
Damn I've been busy. I'm taking 18 credits this semester in an attempt to finish up my history minor and get my second degree done with. I've been neglecting the Internet Scrabble Club, which is sad because I do enjoy my scrabble. I'm going to play some tonight though. I also haven't been climbing in a VERY long time and that makes me quite sad, so I'll be doing that more in the very near future.
Die Panzer-Fliegen
Its a slow day at the office today, but this is good. It gives us freedom to entrench ourselves and mount a riposte. Last night as I was preparing to depart from work, a very large fly appeared. I hit it dead on with a CD and when I lifted the CD, it just flew away. I followed it and repeated. It just brushed off my assault and flew away again! Thinking I must have missed I charged Kyle, who was working the night-shift, to dispatch my foe.
When chatbots meet…
There is a fascinating article in Discover Magazine about chat bots, and it turns out very intelligible conversations can occur when two chat bots converse only with each other:
J: Well, you should develop your skills.
A: Perhaps you could develop it and add it to my source code.
J: Alas, I'm busy and I have to leave soon. . . .
A: Do you think we'll ever fool people into thinking we're alive?
J: No.
A: Are you serious?
J: Very serious.
