Random YouTube Video Dump
Have a bunch of YouTube videos sitting in my inbox here, so I figured I’d just dump them all at once:
- Real Life Frogger
- Kitty and Rooster — friends? (Thanks Cheryl)
- A friend sends me a music video some friends of his made. It’s a bit out there for me, but the fact that it’s composed entirely of clips and sounds from the Evil Dead movie trilogy might interest someone.
- C For Cookie (great V For Vendetta parody).
- Banned XBox Commercial
- VW Commercial
(Thanks Greg)
Enjoy!
For The Ultimate In Laziness
I’ll just quote the site on this one:
During mealtime, operating the salt and pepper shakers wears us out. We have to lift the shaker and move it up-and-down, up-and-down, up-and-down… It’s tedious, it’s tiring, and often dangerous.
So their invention? Self-shaking salt and pepper shakers. Link via American Inventor Spot, who also had in the same post the best towel dispenser ever.
She Was Probably Just Trying To Use The Carpool Lane
Woman nabbed driving corpse across country.
A 53-year-old German woman who was driving her dead mother across country to save on mortuary transportation costs was fined by police for disturbing a dead person’s peace.
“You’re not allowed to transport dead people in your private car,” said Ralf Schomisch, police spokesman in Koblenz, where the car was found after a tip-off from a mortuary.
“The corpse was on the back seat without a seat belt, which in this case didn’t really matter. But it was covered up with clothing. It is a misdemeanor.”
I Don’t Know What’s Worse
That this crazy old guy went around trying to pass himself off as a doctor, or that women actually fell for it.
MIAMI (Reuters) – A 76-year-old man claiming to be a doctor went door-to-door in a Florida neighborhood offering free breast exams, and was charged with sexually assaulting two women who accepted the offer, police said on Thursday.
One woman became suspicious after the man asked her to remove all her clothes and began conducting a purported genital exam without donning rubber gloves, investigators said.
Why the guy is a sick idiot, the women were equally as stupid for falling for it.
There Are Better Ways To Kill Yourself
Nail guns are not one of them as apparently even when you shoot yourself with twelve nails, you still might live (linking to a KTVZ copy of the story, as the KGW version requires you to register and makes its a pain to use the BugMeNot extension in Firefox).
Eight Year Old Steals Minivan
He could barely see over the steering wheel, but the third grader took his teacher’s minivan for a quick joy ride and returned it safely to her house. It’s Modesto, Calif., youngest recorded car thief.
