1. Fans unleash epic hate for The Last Airbender (2-minute video) -- at least I know I'm not alone in my utter hatred for M. Night Shaymalan's butchery of one of my favourite TV shows.
2. The Muppets: Pöpcørn (3-minute video) -- the latest viral video from Muppet Labs, in which the Swedish Chef makes "popcorn shrimp." My favourite inside joke is that the song the Swedish Chef is playing is actually called "Popcorn." It's a one-hit wonder by a band called "Hot Butter." Love it!
3. 1945-1998 by Isao Hashimoto (14-minute video) -- a video mapping every single nuclear explosion on the planet from 1945 to 1998. The first minute and a half is very slow, but things really start picking up around the 3-minute mark as we enter the height of the Cold War. I wasn't expecting this video to be so fascinating, but it really is.
4. Organic groceries on a budget -- an interesting article about how to go organic in your food shopping without spending too much more money than you might already be paying.
5. Kitchen myths -- a long-ish reference article that debunks a ton of common kitchen myths. Very cool stuff. (Hat tip to Michael Johnson, who pointed me in the direction of this article after reading my adventures in cooking posts.)
6. Firefly intro... the awesome edition (2-minute video) -- if Firefly was an '80s science fiction series, what would the opening credits look like? A lot like this. Hilarious.
7. The Hitchhiker's Guide to Daleks (4-minute video) -- what happens when sci-fi universes collide? Stuff like this. Also hilarious. I'm not a bit Doctor Who fan, so could one of you please tell me how accurate this is in depicting them? The Guide format is spot-on.
