The Onion covers Dubai's cancellation of their much anticipated 11 mile indoor mountain range.
"This is a very sad day for the emirate of Dubai," Crown Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed al-Maktoum told reporters at a press conference held inside the gold-plated anti-gravity chamber in his palace. "Although I believe it is the basic right of all who visit us to be able to scale to the top of a 15,000-foot-tall manmade snowcap, these tough economic times have made it an impossibility. Never before has our proud municipality faced such a grave crisis."

Have you ever felt there was a malevolent god behind your Tetris game, picking only the most cruel pieces when you needed something else? Well turns out there is. LINE PIECE!!
Allergic to Sympathy
Man, what a nice teacher. Its always refreshing to see someone who's willing to go the extra mile to help people in need... The secret comic is even better.

Imagine your imagination envisioned with LEGO. Each idea in progress is a lightbulb that hasn't been finished yet. Well that awesome imagery is brought to life here, in a LEGO stop motion film. I love it!
Windows XP Remix
Have you ever thought, "Gee, you know what'd make great music? Those error sounds from windows xp and windows 98..." No, of course not because you're a normal person. But YouTube allows us to peer into the minds of other less normal people, which is why its so sweet.
Isn't it Really Ironic?
Alanis Morissette clearly didn't understand what "ironic" really meant, so College Humor had the good graces to fix it up for her. Behold the new rendition of Actually Ironic.
PS: She's really cute ;)

Beer Run
Now let me be clear that I don't support mixing the D's (as Steve would say) but this video is sufficiently hilarious to overcome that fact. I mean, he does so much good in the world...
Cute Ninja Romance
Awwww, nothing like the smoke bomb flower delivery... *dreamy sigh*

Its like a mix between a Kaoss pad, a keytar and an electric guitar. And its open source. Sweet!
THE MISA DIGITAL GUITAR
"My design aim was for a minimalistic interface, with configurability at the sound module end, leaving the instrument itself simple and effective..."
"That being said, the Misa digital guitar software is open source, and powered by the Linux operating system. This means programmers have the flexibility to modify how it works, and even change the interface to provide specific functionality. This is important because collaboration from the users themselves, experimenting and innovating in their own ways, will further improve the instrument."

Yeah yeah, so half of you probably don't know what Mass Effect even is but this trailer is so epic that I had to post it regardless. For the other half, this is just all kinds of win. Only a week left!!

Best CG Intro Ever
Alaska officially houses my favorite hockey team ever. Not because of anything having to do with hockey, but instead because of their F-16 piloting super bears. Mmmmmm.

If the "Still Alive" song from Portal is the best credit roll song (and it probably is) then this game over song from Total Distortion has to be the best in class also. Its drawn out, mocking, funny, and catchy. I'd have to lose every once and a while just for good measure.
