A couple of people told me they liked last week's linkfest, so here are this week's links:
: A website that has a ton of "new office slang." I imagine this will end up in a dreaded forwarded e-mail soon (i.e. Fwd:[FWD: HILARIOUS! office slang!!! READ!]). For now, however, it's hilarious. My personal favorite is Chips and Salsa: chips = hardware, salsa = software. “First we gotta figure out if the problem’s in your chips or your salsa.”
: I've been playing a lot of ping pong lately, and the other day I decided to type "ping pong" into the . The video is aptly titled "Play ping pong like a god," because if God played ping pong, He'd probably do similarly ridiculous moves.
: "The Millau Viaduct (French: le Viaduc de Millau) is a cable-stayed road bridge that spans the valley of the River Tarn near Millau in southern France. Designed by British master-architect Lord Foster in collaboration with French bridge engineer Michel Virlogeux, it is the tallest vehicular bridge in the world, with one pier's summit at 341 metres (1,118 ft)—slightly higher than the Eiffel Tower and only 40 m (132 ft) shorter than the Empire State Building. It was formally opened on 14 December 2004 and opened to traffic on 16 December 2004." - Wikipedia. Check out these , courtesy of .1
: A great commentary from Juan Cole, professor of history at the University of Michigan, on why the U.S. should pull troops from Iraq.
: Video clip of an awesome commentary on the poor job of the government in responding to hurricane Katrina.
: Look, ma! Color-shifting ink!
, if you could please go here in honor of me and take a pictures... that would be great. [↩]
#1: I almost fell off my chair laughing at that ping-pong video. Kelly and I watched it twice.
#2: I laughed nearly as hard when I read the brazilian joke along with your reference to Megan.

Lovin’ the Friday Linkfest!
Funny thing: found this on the $10 note page. Kind of ironic.
“Learn all about the redesigned currency with our $10 Interactive Note!

Hmmm?

Thanks for the laughs. As usual, I appreciate it.
