Flash animation: The End of the World - "Ruling out the ice caps melting, meteors becoming crashed into us, the ozone layer leaving, and the sun exploding, we're definitely going to blow ourselves up." This is a pretty hilarious flash animation with a lot of great quotables.

Heh, I may have to get that "I had an [iPod] before you knew what one was" shirt. Because it's true.
In Berkeley last night, we saw a former Taco Bell with the banner "Flaky Creme Donuts coming soon." Sure sounds like an adult video store.
Craigslist Best Of: I don't kick puppies!
There's nothing I can say about this ad that does it justice, so just check it out. It's quality.
'The heads of Monkeywire ... have called the Bush primate references "misguided and demeaning."' As in, demeaning TO CHIMPs. "A chimp would never do that."
The ferret wearing the bow tie is cute, but the idea of the bomber jacket and the biker jacket amuse me more.
Weight Watchers recipe cards from 1974
Oh man, this is one of the funniest things I've seen in quite awhile. I laughed so hard I had to leave my desk and take a trip to the hall for a few minutes. This is seriously the sort of thing that needs a "you better be prepared to explain to your co-workers what's so damn funny" work warning.
Alternate OS X 10.3 Panther Box Art / Ad (Think Pink)
This is pretty damn amusing, really.
The Surprising Benefits of Being Unemployed
Ah, now this makes me miss being unemployed already. Last spring was really pretty damn awesome, in retrospect.
At some point in the last month, the Washington Mutual billboards switched from saying
"Reject Fake Free Checking."
to saying
"If your bank has a direct deposit requirement, you have fake free checking."
What, did people not understand what "Fake Free Checking" was? I can't wait to see the next iteration of Washington Mutual billboards that say
"If your bank is Bank of America or Wells Fargo, you have fake free checking."
Heh, when templates go wrong:
If you're curious, that's from the new computer store that just opened on the corner of Haste and Shattuck, across from the Used Computer Store.
I've been playing (and loving) The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, but there was one little issue that was kind of bugging me. But now I've got a tip for those of you who were also bothered by this problem, except I expect that it was probably pretty obvious to everyone else, and I'm the only one who overlooked it... But if you're having the same problem I was, then you'll appreciate this:
When you're using some weapon you picked up from an enemy -- like a stick or a large sword -- press B instead of A to fight with it, because if you press A, it will throw the weapon, and you'll have to pick it back up (which sucks a lot when you're in the middle of a melee). If you press B, you will keep ahold of it and not have to pick it back up!
I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I was two dungeons in before I figured that one out.
