Linkology: The Best of the Internet for 11/12/10
Busy week, so let’s skip any silly precursory stories (such as the one involving my cat and how he has discovered that he can chew on a bathtub faucet knob with such horrible force that it wakes me up, and even when you start laughing and tell him to stop at 3:20 AM he just keeps on going, so you grab your iPhone because it strikes you that yes, this might be a funny YouTube video and you don’t want to miss it, so the cat just hams it up for you and goes nuts on the faucet knob, and we all have a good laugh and then go back to sleep, even though I secretly lay awake for another solid 10 minutes wondering exactly what is wrong with my cat), and get right on with the links. Because yesiree, it’s been a busy week on the Internet.
Random acts of culture: over 650 vocalists burst into ‘Hallejujah’ at a Macy’s in Philadelphia. Pretty awesome. The accompaniment of the world’s largest pipe organ was icing on the cake.
“What the old timers used to call cabin fever.” An illustration of Jack Nicholson’s clothing changes in The Shining. Eadweard Muybridge inspired.
USAToday: Unions tell pilots to avoid body scanners at airports.
Dueling Michael Caine impressions. Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon try to out-do each other’s Michael Caine impression, and both of these are fantastic. (Disclaimer: one instance of language in the video, so use discretion in the office or other public venue.)
Faces at the finish: a photoessay of 99 runners just after they crossed the finish line of the New York City Marathon. The scary part? Most of these folks look better after running 26.2 miles than I do on my best day. What gives?
The Driscoll Middle School varsity football team devised a trick play for the ages called the Penalty Play, and it’s fantastic. What’s even better is that this was the first time they actually tried it in a game.
Finally, you might have seen Nike’s latest ad featuring LeBron James saying, “What should I do?” every other frame. Well, here’s Cleveland’s video response.
Have a great weekend, everyone.
