The new Pirates ride at Disney

The best (in my opinion) ride at Disney has undergone a refurbishment and a "Depp-ification." I felt a little mixed about that because the ride has been my favourite since I was little and sometimes you just shouldn't mess with perfection.

But after watching this ridethrough I think it might have turned out okay.

Where the hell is Matt?

I saw this on Neatorama this morning. Matt evidently quit his job and travelled the world. Somewhere along the way he got it in his head to dance in various spots and put his quirky jig online. Well it caught the attention of a gum maker and now he's got sponsorship. To dance. All over the world.

I want one

Remember that comedian who went on a bit of a rant about needing popup artillery built into your car so that you could blast away at idiotic drivers who cut you off or nearly cause you to wrap your car around a telephone poll because they're so oblivious to their surroundings?

Well this isn't a machine gun, but it's the next best thing:

Express yourself and communicate with other drivers with this cool device:


Includes a smiley face, a frowny face, and the phrase 'Back Off' :)

Your dog wants some shades

Doggles. Hehehe. That's fun to say. Doggles. Yep, shades for your pooch. And these aren't just any shades, these are cooool shades. Your pup can be stylin'.

Doggles are superbly made sunglasses. For dogs. Do not adjust your computer, you read that correctly. Incredible though it sounds, many vets and dogtors agree that canine eyes need protecting from the sun just as much as ours. All Doggles boast rugged polycarbonate (shatterproof) anti-fog lenses with 100% UV protection, and are ggggreat for dogs with eye disorders such as pannus and light sensitivity. Doggles are genuine doggy-health must-haves, and most dogs will readily accept them after a short adjustment period.

This is the kind of stuff the hawesome blog Neatorama finds online. Funny, weird, interesting, random stuff. Check it out: Neatorama.
