Ricardo Autobahn has constructed a coherent mix-video song from all sorts of movie and TV clips. It’s just flat-out awesome. It’s like Girl Talk but for the movies. [via]

This has been making the rounds, but I first saw it over at Topless Robot.  A Russian actor’s group called “Big Difference” (Bolshaya Raznitsa / Большая Разница) remade The Matrix as a Charlie Chaplin silent film.

Whew, that was close. Unless you were rooting for the Lions, in which case the results were not too dissimiliar from the Detroit football team.

A single page overview of everything that Google has on you.  Interesting and having seen this for the first time, I’m surprised Google hasn’t offered this before.  I mean there was always iGoogle or whatever they hell that was called, but this is different, easier to read.

The Big Picture is featuring beautiful photos of Martian Landscapes shot from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO).

The most recent SNL Digital Short was an excellent Twilight parody.  Along with their FOX News skit, Penelope returned! and Taylor Swift’s security-aided (to keep Kanye out) musical (lalala) monologue, it was actually a decent SNL last night.

Recent photographs taken at an event in Las Vegas reveal a surprisingly light pigmentation on the former Chicago Cubs slugger.  Jesus, tell that dude to get on the roids again or something.

The Chicago Tribune spoke with Rebecca Polihronis, an acquaintance of Sosa, who claims that that “he is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin.”

Riiiiight.  Whatever’s going on, it’s clear he’s got the same disease as Michael Jackson.  And I don’t mean the touching little children one.

There’s nothing I don’t love about this PSA for getting more sleep.  [via]

UNM junior defender Elizabeth Lambert was suspended indefinitely from soccer following the most some mean gamesladyship.  Anyway, safe to say that if I were to meet her in an ally I would run like hell in the other direction. [via]

Firefox turns five-years-old tomorrow.  It’s no longer a trendy upstart, but every bit as popular as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (based solely on my browser metrics).  You would think a profile on a web browser wouldn’t be fascinating, but then you’d be wrong. Wired goes in depth to see how Firefox got where it is and where it plans on going in the next five years.

If we’re being honest, the only thing Internet Explorer is good for is downloading another browser.

Jesus, I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this.  [via]

I find Jon Stewart’s impression of Glen Beck pretty great, unnerving for sure, but still great. Gotta love those inane FOX news chalkboard moments.

This sucks: “In 2005, newlyweds Julie and Mike Boyde of Ambridge, Pennsylvania spent their wedding night at a bed and breakfast, where, for the first time since becoming a couple, they had intercourse without a condom. Immediately afterward, Julie was in excruciating pain. Doctors would eventually diagnose her with a rare and incurable disorder known as seminal plasma hypersensitivity, meaning Julie is allergic to her husband’s sperm.”

She goes on to say on a scale of 1 to 10, the pain is about an eight or nine for a full 24-hours after intercourse.  I don’t know if she’s using my pain scale (10 being decapitation, one being napping in a field of daisies), but this allergy sounds pretty awful to have.
