World's shortest man

This is a documentary about the world's shortest man from China. If you learn only one thing from watching this video, it should be that smoking REALLY stunts your growth. Kids, don't smoke or else you'll grow up to be an adorable world-wide celebrity.

Sarah Silverman has a pretty good idea

Sarah Silverman's idea for ending world hunger...

Being a kid used to be lame

I wish I didn't grow up in the 70's and 80's. I can only imagine how much more successful my life would be if I had been inspired early-on by the Internet, Wii, iTunes and Lunchables. Instead, I grew up with toys like this.



Seriously, how many actual hours of fun can you get from something like this?

How to escape a fart

Once again, I learn another important life lesson by watching a Japanese game show.

HIMYM internet win!

If you watched How I Met Your Mother last night, you probably picked up on the website address, itwasthebestnightever.com, that was clumsily dropped during the show. Well, it's a real website... and not the usual lazy viral tie-in site that TV shows have recently started shoving down our throats. The page includes a bonus video of the song heard on the show performed by "Marshall" and ex-Extreme front man, Nuno Bettencort. I never thought a song could be more emotional than "More Than Words"... I was wrong. Sure, it's no Robin Sparkles video, but still... nice effort, HIMYM!

A Cappella TGIF theme songs!

This choir of virgin (I'm just guessing) boys sings a cappella versions of the theme songs to Full House, Family Matters, Saved by the Bell, Fresh Prince, and Step by Step. It's like TGIF all over again!
