Something about cricket is elusive. I have so many British, Australian and Indian friends, and yet somehow I was unable to understand the sport of cricket until Vincent Price taught it to me right now.

My Russian is rusty, but this video from Russian singer Lyapis Trubetskoy (Ляпис Трубецкой) is beautiful with its insane imagery and political messaging. If you are so inspired, you can get screenshots of the video here.

Once upon a time, a friend of mine (Min Suh Son) claimed she could eat an entire jar of mayonnaise. In a chivalrous game of oneupmanship, another friend (Nathan Eagle) claimed he would eat a liquefied fish.

This story lie dormant in my brain until I saw Blendtec’s Will It Blend, coke + chicken = cochicken episode:
If you haven’t seen this series, you probably don’t have access to the internets, but just in case you should check out ipod, glow sticks, and my personal favorite, tape measure (I like the way the tape fills the container).

It seems like all the bodybuilders want to be robots these days. Wait, they are human, right? Sometimes it’s hard to tell. Here are a few of the highlights:
Alexander “Oops that’s a really bad Kraftwerk mix, sorry” Vishnevskiy
Robert “I actually have some skills” Vince
Heiko “knee jerk” Dörfer
