So how about a flash game? It’s been a while.
Here is a surprisingly challenging game that involves a rag doll spiderman webbing his way across an endless pit using geometric shapes. And, as the link submitter promised, the best part of the game is watching the way spiderman’s arms almost get ripped out of their sockets when his web catches.
You may not enjoy the game, but I garuntee you’ll be singing “Oooh black betty, dang a dang” for a day or two.
Just an interesting little tidbit, it turns out that if you are performing CPR it helps to keep the song “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees in your head, because it has the perfect rhythm for the chest compressions. This is very convenient because I think if I were performing life saving CPR on somebody, I probably couldn’t do anything to keep Stayin’ Alive out of my head. It also mentions that “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen will also work, however, it is a little less…optimistic.

I hate when people say literally and don’t mean it.
Literally.
It is probably my biggest pet peeve. And I’m not the only one either, there are entire blogs dedicated to the topic.
I would say “Man on Fire” was probably the biggest offense to my sensibilities. They had a commercial which played about 10 bazillion times which said, “Denzel Washington literally sets the screen on fire!” Literally? Like he flies all over the country attending every screening and burns down the theater? And if that is true, that is supposed to make me want to see the movie?
Holy crap, as I was typing this a weight loss commercial just came on T.V. and Chris Berman just said, “I was bigger than life…literally!” How is that even possible? Ah, Chris Berman, I had so much respect for you!
Well, there are a million examples. Anyway, in the spirit of literalness, here is literally one of my favorite songs of all time! Ah ha’s “Take on Me”, literally. I don’t know why this struck me as so funny, but it really cracked me up. I would like to see some more songs given the same treatment!

This just in, an Ohio state representative had to evacuate his office due to a suspicious package containing bacon. Maybe he is a vegetarian? Someone apparently sent him the bacon to symbolize his voting for measures containing legislative pork-barrel spending.
Of course I try to keep up on all bacon related news, but the part that really cracked me up was the picture of the bomb squad removing the bacon:
I knew it was bad for your heart, but...
