This is one of the funnier jokes I have heard in a long time. I laughed very, very hard for about 30 seconds.

Enjoy. Or not, if you don't have the strange sense of humor some of us do. ;)

"The Funniest Joke Ever" on Kamp Krusty.

Currently reading a great book by Dallas Willard, "The Spirit of the Disciplines". Love this quote because it's so hard-hitting and true:

To undertake the disciplines is to take our activities - our lives - seriously and to suppose that the following of Christ is at least as big of a challenge as playing the violin or jogging.

If you've seen Napoleon Dynamite, no doubt you remember this conversation:

Deb: What are you drawing?
Napoleon Dynamite: A liger.
Deb: What's a liger?
Napoleon Dynamite: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.

I always thought that was so funny that he was living in his little imaginary world. Well, guess what? Ligers exist! For real! Check it out!


Not only that, but there are also other hybrids:

Liguars, Liards, Tigons, Tiguars, Tigars, Jaglions, Jaggers, Jagupards, Leopons, and Leguars, baby!

What the...? Now maybe you all know this and are thinking "d'uh, John...", but I'm pretty freaked out here. :)

It kind of reminds me of when we went to the zoo and Zakcq said he wanted to see the Capibara, and said it was basically a huge giant guinea pig. We all didn't believe him, until we went and saw one in all its glory.

Well, I stayed up for the Super Bowl last night, which means I got only roughly 3 hours of sleep last night. But boy, was it worth it. This play has got to be one of the most amazing plays I have ever seen, and certainly the best Super Bowl catch I have ever seen. Call it The Catch Reloaded or something.



What a game. (I won't say a word about the incredibly boring half time show. Oops, just did.)

So to summarize:

[ ] 9 hours of sleep
[ ] 6 hours of sleep
[x] 3 hours of sleep
[ ] Regret staying up

"Google Maps Meets Lost"

This is just such a great and hilarious idea. Enjoy. I know I did.



Found on Webware.

This is too cool: Visualizing the Bible. This guy took all the cross references of the Bible and put them into really interesting network visualizations. Kind of hard to explain. Visit the site to see what I mean.

Funny quote by Douglas Adams (I think this is from HGTTG):

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Whoa. This video is unbelievably funny yet sorta scary. It's an original Tom Cruise Scientology propaganda video. I mean, whoa. Just whoa.

It's almost like it's meant to be satire, but it's not. But it is. Watch it and see what I mean.

When you're a Scientologist, and you drive by an accident, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you're the only one who can really help. We are the authorities on getting people off drugs. We are the authorities on the mind.... We are the way to happiness. We can bring peace and unite cultures. Now is the time. Being a Scientologist. People are turning to you. If you are a Scientologist, you see things the way they are, in all their glory, in all their complexity... It's rough and tumble. It's wild and woolly. It's a blast. It really is. It is fun. Because damn it, there is nothing better than going out there and fighting the fight, and suddenly you see -- boom! -- things are better. I want to know that I've done everything I can do, every day... I do what I can. And I do it the way I do everything.

Check it out.

Well, it seems like almost everyone is doing this, so I might as well, too. Here are my unsurprising results.

INTPs live in the world of theoretical possibilities. They see everything in terms of how it could be improved, or what it could be turned into. They live primarily inside their own minds, having the ability to analyze difficult problems, identify patterns, and come up with logical explanations. They seek clarity in everything, and are therefore driven to build knowledge. They are the "absent-minded professors", who highly value intelligence and the ability to apply logic to theories to find solutions.

Famous INTP personalities:

Abraham Lincoln - American President
Albert Einstein - German physicist
Carl Jung - Swiss psychiatrist
Charles Darwin - English naturalist
Rene Descartes - French philosopher
...
*cough*
...
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen - actresses

I bet you can guess which entry on that list just somehow is not like me at ALL.

That's right. Charles Darwin.
