  A spot-on recreation of the Simpsons intro with live action. Really brilliant, especially the boy portraying Bart.
• Oh, If Only They Wore Cups In Basketball

• Japanese Make Gasoline From Cattle Dung
  If that article's correct then my parents own a veritable goldmine. The article also states that "another group of researchers has successfully extracted an aromatic ingredient of vanilla from cattle dung." Ugh. I don't want to smell vanilla anytime soon.
• Spider-Man Robs Comic Book Store
  My worldview has just been destroyed. Is nothing sacred? Watch the video and you'll see the Friendly Neighborhood Comicsnatcher commit the heinous crime.
