Periodically rotating factoid and random image gathered elsewhere on the web. These two items do not necessarily go together.

Make your own Presidential news

It's apparent that the news media has no idea who won the presidential election. Giving away states, retracting them. Why not make up your own mind?

Wonder Woman saves a guy

Haven't had a random image in a while. How about this one of Wonder Woman saving a secret agent from being shot by a guy in a station wagon?

Proof that George W. wants to lose in November

I believe that after hearing this, I am certain that you will accept (as I have) the notion that Dubya has no intention of winning the presidential election. You will hear Dubya talking about his folks and then, played backwards, he will say the damning "I want to snow Dad."

Press to play.

"I want to snow Dad."

Question the Sambo Lesson

First, check out this video from http://combatsambo.jumpsports.com/

Now a few questions:

  1. How does the guy fall? Looks like he kind of loses his balance. Is that a move?

  2. The attacker seems to have a ruler. Should we fear rulers? Protractors? 
    Pointed sticks?

  3. I thought Sambo was the kid that ran around the tree and turned to butter, at least that's what R.E.M. lead me to believe. What gives?

  4. What's the deal with casually kicking the guy in the head at the end? "Ha! I immobilize you! I kick your head!" This is the strangest part, because you can see the ruler-wielding attacker blocks the expected kick to the head.
