Found this rather entertaining inventions site when researching for a lesson on 'earthquake survival'

http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Bunker/5921/inventor2.html

It tickled me for a short while ....

This is a video my mate from my last company has done on his myspace page...

Sorry Jennie...

Oh, for the love of God. Although I will admit that I thought of "Uganda" and "United Arab Emirates" before "United States of America."

How to give a man hug...

ahhh Jennie how great minds think alike - I also thought of Uganda first...Also, as amusing as that was Spammy boy I dont think you'd get much better over this side of the pond! Especially if you ask people to tell you what GB and UK stand for. Oh and where Europe is. Or indeed, London.

You couldn't make it up:

Donkey Shocker:

I think you could make it up, as evidenced by that fact that someone plainly has done just that. Come on Dannyboy, Ms Legova?

People have all sorts of ideas, for example this guy had three.
<ul><li> I play the flute</li><li>I can beatbox</li><li>I like inspector gadget</li></ul>
and the result...

Nice! I also like the way it segues seamlessly into Beverley Hills Cop...

tail between legs.
ploy - yeah you're right. It was a hoax.

I actually hate Catherine Tate and I'm no big fan of Mr Blair either but I thought this was genius. Fair play to him. Respec.

Yeah 'twas possibly the funniest part of the night. Though, as someone mentioned, it is a touch disturbing how good at acting he appears to be.

He went to Rada not law school....

Anyone seens Weebl's tribute to Mango?

mango

EDIT: I just watched the catherine tate, and read the other posts, so apologies for the total non-sequitor but yes funny and yes good acting on blair's part.

EDIT: I love Weebls stuff, and haven't looked at the site for ages. Things keep making me laugh.

Samuel Jackson's new film.

Nice use of vocab dude; non sequitur...good stuff.

I like the Mango thing too.

Ever wondered what happened to the heroes of Street Fighter II? Well wonder no more! A few people have started to make a serial movie of their twilight years. Well acted and serious, with hilarious results.

The only bad part is part 4 isn't out yet.

Made I laugh...



I almost bought the t-shirt

May I suggest 'Jonathan Miller - The Atheist Tapes'. UKNova have them. I'm thinking Pete in particular will appreciate them.

Most of you will know him as 'Dr Tobias Funke' from Arrested Development, in real life he is David Cross, actor and comedian. I am off to see him next weekend do a stand up show in London which will hopefully be ace. My friend told me about a show he used to do in America called 'Mr Show' - the following is a clip which is very funny. Enjoy.

David Cross

I'll see if they are on mininova; UKNova cut me off because my upload/download ratio was woefully inadequate (<10%).

Don't worry if Mininova doesn't come through for you - I've kept hold of them and will pass them to you when I next see you.

It greatly worries me that I was not already aware of this. What other moments of comedy genius am I missing out on?

More 'Mr Show':

That is a shame. They have recently launched UKNova 2.0 and anyone who joined when it was UKNova 1.0 has essentially had their ratio doubled as a welcoming present. Get in there.

That was funny, but are beauty queens not a bit of an easy target?

Nendick, 5x

Yeah, but just because something's an easy target doesn't mean you shouldn't gun it down when you see it.

....like drew... noj.... marno....

Nextreme Parkour

I like it. In fact I'd go as far as to say that the photography is spot on.

You wouldn't believe how hard it was to time my run so that I was mid-air when the auto-timer went off

this is quite geeky, but at the same time quite cool

Oh dear Christ I found this funny.

This is a little song Sarah Silverman put together for her boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel - a talk-show host who often finishes with the fact that he has no time left to talk to MAtt Damon...

Oh please, oh please, oh please, tell me that that is what a poster session at a physics conference is like.
It would almost be enough to make me get a degree in some sort of science.

He was a bit annoyed apparently.
