Say Anything Puppet Serenades New York City

Whitney Jefferson · 01/18/10 11:57AM

This sad puppet version of John Cusack's Lloyd Dobler hits the streets of New York, boombox in hand, and blasts Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes." Glad to know he never got over puppet Diane Court after all these years.

How To Survive a Bear Attack

David Matthews · 01/18/10 11:00AM

Bear attacks are serious and one way to scare people straight is stop motion animation. It's the "safe" stylistic choice for this video; Michael Haneke is the only filmmaker "real" enough to film a staged murder by bear. Enjoy.

Science: Americans Can't Count

Hamilton Nolan · 01/18/10 10:59AM

Number-talkin' scientists report that Americans can speak English and count to ten, but not at the same time. A study shows that our brains perceive the vowel sounds in "two" to represent something large, while the vowel sounds in "three" represent something small (in our brains, still). So people estimated that a $3 item marked down to $2.22 was actually more expensive than a $3 item marked down to $2.33.

This cat hilariously slips around the transparent ice trying to catch the goldfish swimming under it.

This girl wouldn't think twice about taking on the boogeyman. She should probably work on her language, but her practical solution to the appearance of a monster overshadows any potty mouth.

America's Funniest Video of the Day: Irony Alert!

Michael Jordan · 01/18/10 09:30AM

You crazy for this one, insurance salesmen! High school English teachers would point out that this is technically coincidence, not irony. They would agree, however, that it is 100% awesome.

Journalists in China Totally Switching Back to Yahoo

Hamilton Nolan · 01/18/10 09:24AM

At least two foreign reporters in China, including an AP television reporter, discovered that their GMail accounts have been hacked (by the government??). Oh, ChinaGuy69@aol.com was just not "professional" enough, right? You had to switch to Gmail. Fools. [NYT]
