Yeah shes pretty, but if you make it to the end of the video with out fast-fowarding, you need a life.

The Worst Things That Ever Happened On Friday the 13th

Guest Blogger — Fri, 13 May 2011 03:59:42 +0000

For many people, Friday the 13th is very real business. People who suffer from friggatriskaidekaphobia (I kid you not, that’s the actual name of it. Ask wikipedia) dread this day like the plague, fearing that something terrible is bound to happen to them or a loved one. Some might even go as far as taking the day off work, barricading themselves in their homes or wearing a helmet and knee pads all day long.

However, others (perhaps more sensible people) are wondering if there is any real truth to myth and mystique surrounding Friday the 13th. Is this day really bad luck? Or is it simply an old superstition that holds no truth?

Well, the answer will depend on who you ask. Sure, bad things do happen on Friday the 13th. Bad things happen most days without us trying to classify them as cosmic fate or unhappy happenstance. Coincidence or not, some very bad things have indeed happened on Friday the 13th. These events include war, natural disasters and some very unfortunate births.

If the following events don’t convince you that there is some truth to superstition surrounding Friday the 13th, then I don’t know what will.

On Aug. 13, 1521, the Aztec Empire comes to an end after Conquistador Cortés captures the ruler of Tenochtitlán, claiming the city for Spain and renaming it Mexico City.
On July 13, 1821 notorious Confederate general and Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard Nathan Bedford Forrest is born in Tennessee.
On Sep. 13, 1940, German bombs hit Buckingham Palace, completing destroying the palace’s chapel.
On July 13, 1956, Great Britain and the U.S. reject pleas from India and Yugoslavia to stop atmospheric testing of nuclear weaponry. Oh, if only we had listened.
On Nov. 13, 1970, a monsoon storm kills close to 300,000 people in Bangladesh. Even worse, the storm causes a flood that kills close to 1 million people in the Ganges Delta and leaves countless more without shelter and other basic necessities.
On June 13, 1986, The Olsen twins (Mary-Kate and Ashley) are born. If you happened to catch their movie New York Minute, you clearly know why their birth is included on this unfortunate list.
On Jan. 13, 1989, the Friday the 13th virus hits and negatively affects IBM computer all over Great Britain. And in the beginning of the digital age (before troubleshooting and spyware existed) this was a very big deal–and caused mass hysteria.
On Oct. 13, 1989, the Dow Jones experienced the second largest drop that it had ever experienced (at the time at least). This event was later nicknamed the Friday the 13th mini crash.

What’s your take on Friday the 13th? Are you a friggatriskaidekaphobic? Do you have good reason to be?

PUDDI PUDDI Takes Over 4chan!!

Joe Hall — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 16:00:07 +0000

On November 30th 2010 a moderator by the name invisibro made a thread on 4chan‘s /jp/ board with an video advertisement for Giga Pudding. invisibro then showed the thread to 4chan’s owner and founder Christopher Poole known to many on 4chan as “moot”. Moot apparently liked the video so much that he added it at the top of every page on /b/. And then after every message submitted contained the following:

PUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDI
PUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDI
PUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDPUDDIPUDDIPUDDI
PUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDI

Many speculate that Moot’s intentions are to cleanse the most popular board on 4chan known as /b/ from users that do not create new content. Though it is hard to say whether this type of strategy won’t also alienate 4chan’s core user base.

Rick Roll – Rick Astley

Joe Hall — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 05:24:45 +0000

Rickrolling is an online joke that involves the music video for the Rick Astley song “Never Gonna Give You Up”. The viral content is a trick of disguise: Someone post a link that they claim is something specific, but the link really points to the Astley video. The link can be hidden in some way so that others cannot see it’s true destination. When a user follows the link and is led to the video, they have have been “rickrolled”. Rickrolling has gone further than links to playing the video or song unexpectedly in offline, including in public. The most well known Rick Roll was preformed live by Astley himself during the 2008 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Rickrolling began as a spin off of a previous meme from the well know site, 4chan. The original is known as duckrolling.

Bad Ass Roosters Break Up Rabbit Fight

This video is amazing. It seriously looks like these roosters are acting like security. As soon as a fight breaks out between two rabbits, these two roosters lay down the law and put a stop to such foolish rabbit games!
