Street Fighter salsa

I never played the game and found the movie lame, but this is really nice.

Are you a jerk?

Eric Schwitzgebel, a Professor of Philosophy at University of California at Riverside mused over this and came up with a post on The Phenomenology of Being A Jerk.

Go on.

Read it.

You know you want to.

Why Superman's outfit never tears

Is it because it was made from his baby blanket from Krypton?

No.

It is science. His suit is pretty darn close to Kevlar, in terms of bullet-stopping capacity.

Read about how you can make your T-shirt as powerful as the Superman suit here.

Not the Superman you want. :p

I heart Darth

There are no more secrets in this world

I'm not exactly a fan of Julian Assange, but I couldn't resist.

Midweek sh*ts and giggles

And the only one with personal comment:

I knew it! The gay subtext was obvious even to 12-year old me back then!

Storm Troopers just wanna have fun

My niece is addicted to this song. It is bloody catchy and there are tonnes of videos out there of hilarious/serious attempts to copy the original Wonder Girls. But this one?

Star Wars desecration or stupendous imagination? You decide.

RRRUUUUUUNNNNN!!!!

Darn it. Too late.

Facebook for dummies

Social networking has become so widespread, even your grandma has an account. But the protocol for friending and de-friending continues to be a social minefield that can blow up in your face and cripple you for life.

For example:

Forever alone. :'((

So how do you navigate something like: Do you friend you parents on Facebook?

Someone made a flow diagram of it.

 

To friend, or not to friend. That is the question.

Walking down memory lane

When I was a kid, terrestrial TV was only on for 12-hours a day and the hours of 4 pm to 6 pm were when they screen the stuff for kids like Sesame Street, The Electric Company and cartoons. The closest I got to fandom obsession (i.e. feverish scribblings of Mary Sue-inserted fanfics) were the anime that they screened like Tosho Daimos, Voltron and Sabre Rider and the Star Sheriffs in particular.

Back then, the Filem Negara Malaysia made a number of cartoons based on Malay folklore and Aesop's fables to be screened in the late afternoon. The animations were pretty well crafted, although the vocal dramatisation left much to be desired. It also spawned one of the favourite cautionary tagline of my schooldays: "Jangan, Monyet!" (Literally: Don't do it, Monkey!)

Ah, what fond memories ...
