Awesome Half-Life movie

This makes me think how the mods came out a few years back and everybody was like "Valve needs to hire these guys!" - well, Hollywood needs to hire these guys.

Even if you're not familiar with the video game (shameful!) it's an amazing short these guys put together.

State Statistics (2!)

Shame! - http://www.neatorama.com/2011/01/25/the-united-states-of-shame/

For "Shame" somebody asked the author why no DC - "Actually, I had to leave DC out because they were the absolute WORST at so many things (it would have left fewer things to assign to other states). Basically, they have the highest rate of murder, drug use, crime and much more."

This is totally serious. I had to write like three paragraphs a few weeks ago. My hand was cramping.

Snowblower Warning

I've never heard of this before... be sure to read it, it is not as
obvious as it sounds!

One Quote:
Additionally, there is a 50% chance that both valves on the engine
were closed when the engine stopped (depending on where it was in the
engine's cycle). This can, in turn, mean that there are compressed
gasses pressing against the piston. This, in turn, is good for up to a
half-turn of the crank shaft. This half-turn could go either
direction; which direction depending on whether the engine was in its
"compress" or "power" phase. It won't do this if it is in "intake" or
"exhaust" phase, as one valve will be open, relieving any pressure.

It gets more complex if the engine has more than one cylinder.

May your 2011 be as lucky as these 2010s were. Of course, many of them involved being stupid to start. ;)
