Shit shit shit shit, so my Firefox History doesn't go back as far as I need it to (about three weeks), so I'm missing a lot of links I've been looking for. Shitcakes. Also, Yahoo's stories disappear in about two weeks, so I need to go back through my linkspams and edit some for clarity, so I know what the link was. Grr. Or add the text of the article if it's still extant.
So here's cleaning up some more stuff:
So this guy died sort of recently, but what he did was for a college art project. He used tarps to alter the words of the "HOLLYWOOD" sign, and I think they are pretty damn clever. http://www.hollyweed.net/
Some important holidays (which I missed...):
January 31-- National Gorilla Suit Day
February 2-- Groundhog Day, duh. Apparently we're getting an early spring?
February 3-- The Day the Music Died...48 years ago! Damn.
April 16-- International Fort Building Day (I have my plans... got yours?)
October 9-- National Leif Ericson Day (I think this calls for pirattitude.)
I was waxing poetic on our Mullet Game (which I am uninclined to hunt through my archives for... maybe someday, when LJ gets a search engine up, or I get my tag system goin'), which involved choosing a Book, Movie, or Show Title and replacing one word with the word "mullet"; someone recommeded to me, this: The Top Lines in Star Wars Improved by Replacing One Word With the Word "Pants". WIN.
This baby is going to be mine. If you go to their main page it shows some "action shots" and whatnot. Anyway, camera geek <3...
So, found a cool site with movie props. Found some stuff from Indiana Jones, nothing fantastically interesting though. It's more fun to go nuts on Ebay. =P (And by go nuts I mean... spend an hour looking at all the cool stuff.) Anyway, just reminds me of the sword we saw in Disney from Last Crusade, which was pretty cool, but still kind of ridiculous. (Price-wise... I mean, not THAT interesting of a prop, if you ask me...) http://www.propstore.com/
The Pizza Theorem. It should be part of every math class. First part is useful, second part is hilarious. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PizzaTheorem.html
Have I ever mentioned before how creepy rabbits can be? That is, if you make them ALMOST rabbits, in a very creepy fashion. Not like these, these are more funny, but still. http://www.morbidtendencies.com/botmc-details.html

"Web site helps name that tune stuck in your head
Thu Feb 1, 5:21 AM ET
You know that annoying tune that you can't place or get out of your head?
A U.S. company has recently launched a Web site, www.midomi.com, that names most tunes that you can hum, sing or whistle a tune into your computer microphone.
The Web site relies on voice-activated search technology that analyses sounds and matches them against a music database.
Based on the tune users ask it to search, Midomi.com also suggests links to songs that it thinks might appeal to the user.
"With midomi.com, we have created one of the most entertaining search engines on the Web," Keyvan Mohajer, CEO of Melodis Corporation said in a press release this week.
Users can create their own profile, sing their favorite songs, share them and get discovered by other users. Move over American Idol?"
Um, so, I think that's everything for now, but I have tons to do in the realms of going through old posts clicking through links and whatnot. ESPECIALLY since I have to fix a corrupted file from firefox, which should fix my Bookmarks and Toolbar problems I'm having. Grr.
